Nextcloud is federated? First time I hear about that.
For me it’s Lemmy, without a doubt. Never used Twitter, tried mastodon to see what it’s all about, didn’t like it.
Matrix seems decent, but nobody I know uses it, and finding useful groups is painful, especially on other instances (servers, whatever they call them).
From is underrated? I didn’t know that, been watching it religiously.
An older favorite of mine was The 4400 (the reboot is absolute dogshit though). Unfortunately they cancelled it after 4 seasons, but the original authors published 2 books afterwards to finish the storyline.
Other series I enjoy that aren’t on most people’s radar (primarily for being British, mostly crime):
Right, who knows if they are running the country on AS400…
Google Russia filed for bankruptcy last year, and Alphabet filed a claim against whatever Russian ministry is in charge for wrongful asset seizure in a US court to prevent any filings against them in the US. So nothing will ever come out of it.
There are plenty, and they aren’t exactly hiding either. All they need to make sure is avoid overly political jokes. You haven’t heard of them because their content is entirely in Russian.
It’s a simple function, you don’t really need a whole lot of computing power to keep on track. Worst case you can simply remove the factorial and store the zeros in a separate array and tack them on in the output.
Have a look at gullo.me, their entry level vps was just $2 or something.
Edit: https://hosting.gullo.me/pricing (apparently the cheapest is $3.5 - annually)
Once with no atmosphere and the sun going nova, there’s a chance of the rock getting obliterated. With a nice boost you might fly off to another planet eventually. Might not be inhabited or even inhabitable, but hey.
151 including bots, and 551 communities (I usually browse by /all and just block everything I don’t care about, mostly anime, gaming, regional politics and sports).
That sounds a bit like “The Prince in Waiting” by John Christopher (more famous for “The Tripods”), it’s a trilogy also set in the distant future after a nuclear war, where all machines have been outlawed and humans exist alongside dwarfs and mutants. Over the course of the trilogy, the protagonists (living in fairly alright areas) venture deeper into more and more radiated areas and encounter grotesque stuff.
I like the bot, and I also hate amp links and url forwarders that can literally take you anywhere but where it’s supposed to.
I never used any ranged weapon in the game, did I miss out?
Some local market, they are quite large. Think they are from Malaysia.
Sounds more like you never dealt with them. I’m German, we still got plenty of ideologically challenged individuals in country, and they are not stupid.
No idea what a glowie is, but those trump worshiping clowns you got in the US aren’t the people I’m worried about. Over here there is no discernible education gap between left and right wing.
There’s an app called Cheq, which is a means for foreigners to buy stuff in India using their QR payment system, that’s normally restricted for citizens only.
Follow the link on https://cheq.money to the correct version for your phone, there are a bunch of other apps and service providers piggybacking off of the name.
They’ll charge you a sign-on fee of 999 Rupees (about 10 bucks), I’d suggest you use a virtual credit card from wise.com or something for that. I inherently distrust random online shops in third world countries. Once you’ve done that, they ask for your location to perform an in-person ID verification to make sure you actually live in India.
That’s the point where you choose a random location out in the sticks. Say Lemru town in Chhattisgarh State or something - you might try a few until you find something where they show you a local account manager but no physical shop to perform the activation. That part is key.
Contact the account manager via whatsapp (can be registered with your regular phone number, the service is aimed at tourists and foreign residents alike). Normally they are supposed to come visit you, but they can’t be bothered to drive 3h to see you, especially if you press it a bit and call it urgent. Eventually they’ll just ask to send a passport copy directly to them, and they’ll activate it remotely.
You can then use a VPN to set your play store (should work for Apple store as well) country to India, enter a random address there, select “UPI” as payment method, and open the Cheq app when prompted. After a couple hours you’ll get an email that your play store country has been changed, and from then on you can use Cheq to buy stuff for cheap. Top up the balance with virtual cards whenever needed, you can’t use non-indian credit cards directly in google play. You can however buy gift cards on amazon.in with them, have the code send to yourself and redeem it, that works without problems.
Yeah but that doesn’t mean they need to enforce US laws in other jurisdictions where it means fuck all.
Prices are less than 10% of what they are in the US.
Enjoy! It’s really good stuff, hope you like it!
I doubt that’s the real reason. There are enough smart people on top who could set up and run a self-hosted solution.
It’s easy to attribute nazis with a lack of intelligence due to their stupid and narrow minded beliefs, but we should never underestimate them.
I’d wager that the average fascist is just as much a “follower” as the average antifa sympathizer.
On top of that: Setting up and hosting a platform exposes the system to a single point of failure, whereas using existing third party infrastructure means that they have a “legit” operation as well, so the risk of a total shutdown is probably lower. Plus, there is a higher chance external security researchers/auditors will investigate the platform and point out vulnerabilities.
That’s all under the assumption that Iran didn’t secretly develop nukes, or bought them from Russia or North Korea and just keeps it completely hidden to turn the tides at the last possible second.
