March 12, 1930 - Gandhi's Salt March began from Ahmadabad, India, with 76 followers to protest the salt tax. Great Britain's Salt Acts prohibited Indians from collecting or selling salt, a staple of the Indian diet.
Citizens were forced to buy it from the British, who, in addition to exercising a monopoly over the manufacture and sale of salt, also exerted a heavy salt tax. Defying the Salt Acts, Gandhi reasoned, would be a simple way for many Indians to break an unjust law nonviolently (civil disobedience), increasing the pressure for independence from the British Empire.
By the time Gandhi had covered the 241 miles to the coastal city of Dandi on the Arabian Sea, the number of marchers had grown into the thousands.

Folks, unlike internet comms radios can't just be disconnected by a service provider. It's just you, another radio, and physics.
Now is a good time to get a #hamradio license in the US. The FCC could take away our spectrum rights but regardless you would still have radio gear and know-how.
Also consider license-free walkie-talkie style handheld radios. I'm not up to date on what's in the US but for example in the EU we have several options, including the EU-wide PMR446 and "hunting band" radios.
Just don't expect any *privacy*. Anyone in range who happens to be listening will be able to listen, and wide-band scanners are widely available. Some commercial digital radios can be programmed for actual encryption; of course using that on the amateur bands is illegal.

I aware of but not familiar with IPFS, so that's probably a good place to start research, but...
Does anyone know of any efforts to create a program like Seti@Home that would allocate blocks of storage to be used globally by the filesystem it is supporting?
I'm just imagining how interesting and possibly useful it would be to have a storage pool of millions, perhaps billions, of nodes connected sharing some amount of the replicated and encrypted data.
And if it were as easy to contribute to as running some simple program and saying "OK, here's 20gb for you to use." would get us closer to millions of nodes.
Just a thought.

I broke my book on sunday. I stepped to the curb, realized the epilogue belongs at the beginning of the story, not at the end, and realized I needed to rethink everything.
In the end, I settled for moving the central incident of the epilogue to the back half of the first act. It's going to minimize the amount of rework I need to do to existing scenes (though everything, EVERYTHING involving one character needs to be completely rewritten) and actually, longer-term, doesn't change the arc of the book much.
What it does do is immediately remove the sense the old plan had that this entire book is just the epilogue for something Bigger.

What Trump has said is actually covered by treaties the USA has signed. That means he is violating the US Constitution.
And the Charter of the United Nations.
And the Charter of NATO
And treaties with Canada, the UK, and others.
That is why the **world** is sitting up and taking notice. He is violating international law, which is the web of treaties - many created by the USA - to preserve the peace.

Agreed, but I'm more pessimistic than you on this. I've said a few times that I believe it will take at least one generation, and possibly more, to restore the goodwill that Canada has traditionally had for the USA and its people.
So, ~25 years, or 6 presidential terms for one generation. And that clock doesn't start until the USA's leadership becomes reliably sane again and starts treating us properly. As long as the political landscape in the USA remains "the very next election could bring back a MAGA lunatic", that clock doesn't run.
There's no way this damage can be repaired with just an election of one sane president - i.e. your "faint hope" I don't think exists at all.

in reply to TProphet • • •so I thought about it for a short minute.
Let's say this does somehow happen - no violence, no armed conflict, now Canada is a new state. Or maybe a couple of states.
This means 2 or 4 more senators in the US senate, and a bunch more members of the house of representatives.
Canada in general is way more diverse than the US and much more left leaning. The US senate is already pretty balanced, adding 2 or 4 more senators will shift it strongly to the left, which in the US means democrats. Same for the house of representatives.
There is no world in which the republicans will allow this to happen, and the democrats will not participate; plus they're in the minority now.
I think Canada is safe for now.

in reply to BeeCycling • • •@beecycling well, you're right. The entire premise of Canada joining the US as a state hangs on the US being democratic. There's no meaning to states and representation if there US federal government becomes a dictatorship. That would just be one country conquering another.
By the way, the US doesn't have a lot of good experience doing that either. Lots of bad experience though.
