no bigger than a phone, no harder to destroy than a phone. just as easy to conceal as a phone.

SD cards are pretty resilient.

anyone do a search for him on Epstein airlines?

you know what would be really helpful? cross this with data from moderation. content removals, bans, permabans.

then, layer in mods/communities and you might find why users are leaving.

cameras exist.

Going to a Protest? Don’t Bring Your Phone

FTFY

love the stickers. looks like a 5 gallon bucket lid though 🤣

yassss!

that’s hilarious. I remember the scene back in the day was more like, “if you don’t know, get fucked because nobody is going to be responsible for your incompetent bullshit.”

oh how times have changed.

Great Expectations

is it this?

and here I thought it was because I’ve blocked close to 300 users.

with lots of film. get the high speed stuff, to shoot all the “action”.

why would I do that? I’m already a lobster, so I’ll live forever.

I have lots of books. everything from medical encyclopedias, to engineering, to military training guides, to philosophy and politics. I even have books for my kids to continue learning up to a high school level in general education studies like math, English, geography, history, etc. I also have many fiction books as well. knowledge without the creativity to use it is meaningless.

like I said before, your most dangerous weapon is your mind. it you use it as a blunt instrument, all you’re going to get is blunt force results.

I2P is a secure network protocol. to your ISP it’s just an encrypted stream.

it can work across any network connection. Bluetooth, Lora, ARRL, etc.

the way I interpreted your comment presented the possibility that the ISP would cut services based on the content being hosted, not as a wide area communications disruption.

I’ll share what I have done.

I follow a rule of 3. 3 sources for sustaining resources.

water:

1. I keep at least a months worth of bottled water for my family. I routinely cycle through it to ensure it’s always new.
2. water treatment to consume harvested water from local ponds. I have a 50 gallon drum used to store water for my garden that would be used to store non-potable water for filtering and treatment. using the water bottles from 1 would be used to store potable water.
3. water filters like life straws. if we have to bugout or are desperate, these filters are the last ditch effort to get enough water.

food:

1. currently have three months of canned food that we cycle through and replace when needed. fruits, veg, even meat. longer term stored foods with 15-40 year shelf life are also kept
2. currently have a 1600 sqft garden that we manage. we eat from it year round and preserve what we can. pickling, canning, freezing, drying.
3. I have the tools and experience for hunting. I live outside of town so traveling for hunting isn’t unreasonable.

electricity:

1. grid power, I live near some emergency services so my power is always the last to go out.
2. I have a generator that can power my whole house (tested). it runs on LP, NG, and regular fuel. I keep three LP tanks around just in case but it’s setup for a direct line to my NG line. I run it once a year just to make sure it’s still in working order.
3. solar panels / battery for small items like phones, laptop/tablets, radios, and lights.

protection:

1. I have several guns. some for hunting, some for defense. last I checked I’ve got around 10k rounds of ammo that should last me awhile.
2. I have several bows, hunting mostly but could be used in a pinch. also slingshots for small game and deterrent.
3. I used to collect knives and swords. dozens of knives, sharp as the day they were sold. a couple full tang swords that could at least scare someone away.
4. bonus - your mind is the most dangerous weapon you have. read things you’re told not to. experiment with things you’re told not to. gain knowledge and experience you’re not supposed to have. be the danger, but don’t be an idiot.

things I’ve learned:

• establish your garden now. if you wait until then, you’re going to gamble with your life. an established garden produces. a new garden grows.
• have a gameplan of when you need to abandon everything. think it through, step by step, day by day. everything you have accumulated is not worth your life.
• create marketable skills. carpentry, agriculture, engineering, medical, etc. if you have a skill you can trade with it.

these are just some ideas. make a plan that works for you.

livestock and farm stores carry them. they’re the same thing you take.
