Wayback is vital to preserving our culture and history. It needs to collect current events to work. Now, the big news outlets are specifically blocking the archive, crippling the archive's ability to preserve data. This has to stop. We're losing big chunks of our history...

In a fit of desperation and creativity I "invented" sausage and peppers soup. Pictured, the last dregs my kids were fighting over because it was "too good". I think that that is a good thing...
AltText: This image shows a transparent terminal displaying a Quote of the Day (QOTD) as ASCII art, enhanced by figlet, cowsay, and lolcat.
Transparency: The terminal is set to a transparent background, allowing a desktop or background image to be faintly visible behind the terminal window. Figlet: Generates large, stylized ASCII art text for the quote:
The only constant is change. Cowsay: Wraps the text in a speech bubble, with an ASCII cow ("cow") delivering the quote in a playful, conversational style. Lolcat: Adds vibrant rainbow coloring (neon blue, purple, green, and more) to the entire output, making it visually dynamic and psychedelic. The result is a colorful, animated, and whimsical terminal display—where the quote appears to float over your desktop background, combining text art, humor, and a retro-futuristic aesthetic.
Know your adversary’s tools, techniques, and motives,and know your own systems’ blind spots. Otherwise, you are doomed to fail.
from the original Sun Tzu's Art of War
Hence the saying: If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will stand in peril.
If it’s online, it’s under attack..trust no link, no device, no ‘free’ Wi-Fi. In fact trust fucking no one, 0 trust principle. You can do it! with each fall you will learn.
Why did IPv8 get kicked out of the DNS bar? Because it kept trying to resolve all its connections with OAuth2/JWT tokens—and the bouncer said, "We don’t serve managed networks here!" (Then it tried to poison the DNS cache, but the zone server had already blacklisted it for being too centralized.)
Means change ya default DNS to a secure one btw. That joke was not a joke but based on this new protocol. Cloudflare is Centralized no need to talk bout google's 8.8.8.8 What you want is de centralized.
So.. I set a LLM on my host system OSX using homebrew to compile LLama.cpp and then put a model on it but I can't run both > it runs offline anyway And I mean by that local host network but not along with my Virtual machine which is Fedora Silverblue and main reason to install it on host is therefore recommended as it can't run efficiently in containers and mostly not on an OS using a VM on a pc with only 16GB RAM and not even an Nvidia in it it botllenecked my RAM & CPU. Now I have to put up a again a RAG system on this dumb AI model even though rated one of the best it still lies or gives bs as answers on my host using HomeBrew again and secure the environment is already done (Honeypot on host) But I can't run this OS in VM same time with the LLM
It worked on Workstation but not an Atomic version. The isolation factor on an Atomic version or immutable OS makes it slow as hell and mostly one with containerized environments as any one that exist may it be docker, podman, distrobox > name it/
You could likely run it on SilverBlue in a toolbox on 64gb system with a decent GPU probably a Nvidia RTX 3060i or greater or an equivalent in another brand.
Your biggest issue is that 16gb of ram is more than adequate for a typical desktop it is not enough for running virtual hosts, containers and llama.cpp with a decent size LLM such as 7b or better.
Especially since you are on a Mac and it uses Unified Memory and the GPU has no dedicated memory.
In my case I have 16gb on my workstation but I also have 8gb on my GPU. I still do not run llama.cpp in a container because that would just tie up to many resources. On my 64gb laptop I can run several containers though the GPU is integrated and uses Unified Memory Model and is not supported well for llama.cpp.
I also build my llama.cpp weekly as it is a very active project that is constantly improving. I also manually update my ComfyUI weekly though I do not believe you use that project.
So the old eugenics guys wanted to "remake our species for the better" through selective breeding, but then many of them spent the 20th century building a civilization that breeds people for aggression and stupidity.
Eugenics, historically, have been used in many cultures. Much of Europe nobility practiced as well as most nobility internationally. In Sweden it has been extensively practiced as well. Historically, eugenics in humans and animals has always, in my opinion, had a higher cost than natural selection. There are somethings that we can only manipulate so far before the cost of our influence is greater than the benefits. I would extend this ideology to plants as well with cross pollination being its equivalent to eugenics in animals . To make a better crop we have in some cases created a more shelf durable and sweet product with higher carbs but far less bio-available nutrition than its ancestors.
Perhaps when we know more about genetics, as we learn so much more every decade, this could be of some value. Though thus far I cannot see eugenics as a success as I see the costs greater than the benefits.
Namely, to implement eugenics in animals, which includes humans, inbreeding has often been used to facilitate this. This is an economical approach but one the leads to overall inferior results.
Hello 👋 I'm Israa from Gaza and a mother of three. One day, everything around me became strange. I lost everything. I live in harsh conditions, struggling to survive for myself and my three children. That's why I launched our aid link.
In the stillness after a night of bombardment, Israa, a devoted mother of three, and her husband lost not just a home, but the sense of safety that every family deserves.

So there's this guy, a musical performer. In 2024, he ran for president on the "Weed Shall Overcome" ticket. This guy got harassed and jailed by police who subsequently stole his money and belongings. He wrote and released a song mocking them, so they sued him for harassment. He won that case, became famous, and is now running for President again.

I've been trying not to be alarming, this last year, because I keep hoping anyone will listen, but by next year, between Google and Apple scanning your private stuff, the ongoing proliferation of cameras at every corner hooked up to AI face and plate trackers (We already have dozens in my city), more and more retail corporations refusing cash payments so they can track and squeeze us just a little more, AI companies destroying everything, and a government that no longer follows any laws, I have real, unexaggerated fears about becoming a literal dictatorship just before the economy collapses and destroys us.
But hey, at least some states will let you smoke weed as you fight off the raiders...
We've been on the path for decades. People have fought it, slowed it down, even sometimes held it back for a while. But now the edge of the hole is right there, and we are on a shrinking ledge.
I have the same concern. We will see when the next presidential election is supposed to occur whether our current president steps down or attempts to remain in office. I suspect that he will not willingly leave.
I am still working up my article on why so-called Age-Verification is about ending privacy on the Internet not about protecting children. If allowed to move at its current trajectory then even the Fediverse may become a part of the Internet Archive due to the fact that there is noway all us Independent Instances can afford to comply with UK, Brazil and New York, New York's Age verification requirements. The California and Colorado model does not effect us yet, but after they get legislation in place it is very easy for them to amend it to their own devices.
@Unus Nemo I believe that we only free future is for all services to operate exclusively peer to peer, with no servers to put in jail. Username is a UUID, or some kinda shared key, so the user is only identified if they choose to fill in profile info. Nostr's blockchain paradigm could work if they lost the servers...
It would likely require a UUID and a private/public key. The key to establish a secure connection and the UUID to identify the correct end point. The I2P protocol could likely be a bases to begin from.
Royal Skywalker is an indica-dominant hybrid (60% Indica / 40% Sativa) bred by Royal Queen Seeds from a cross of Blueberry and Mazar. It features a high THC level of 25–30% and delivers a balanced effect characterized by mental clarity and physical relaxation without immediate couch-lock. Its flavor profile is sweet, with notes of blueberry, citrus, and pepper.
Skywalker Kush, conversely, is an indica-dominant offspring of Skywalker and OG Kush. It is known for heavier, more sedating physical effects and a terpene profile that includes classic OG notes of pine, wood, leather, and gas. While Royal Skywalker is bred for stability and ease of cultivation, Skywalker Kush is valued for its potent, deep relaxation and dense, resinous buds.
Gee. A company which stands to make billions from the resulting military contracts (and P.S. run by two foreigners) wants to tell us how to run our fucking country? FUCK. YOU. RIGHT. IN. THE. FACE.
Wow, this guy is lost in a surreal world of ideology. The idea that because we have had no World Wars for a nearly a century means we have lived in peace? So was I on a picnic in Pakistan, Iraq, and Afghanistan? It did not seem real peaceful from my perspective. He neglects to mention the World Wars were not an issue until countries had the resources and technology to launch aggression at that level either, perhaps in his view that was not significant as he make a living selling technology for war. I have to admit that I did agree with some of his ideologies. Though overwhelming ignorance of human psychological development is prevalent throughout his tirade.
The fact that he subscribes to the idea that atomic weapons are a deterrent is a tell. In ancient days when a king saw a crossbow shoot a bolt through plate mail armor he proclaimed that this weapon was so devastating that it would surely end all wars. The same was stated at the demonstration of the atomic bomb. The problem with this ideology is that weapons are not designed to prevent war, they are designed to facilitate war. No weapon will ever bring about peace.
I forgot to mention that he also makes a huge error when associate our military as a volunteer service. No it is not, it is a career choice. When you put all the propaganda aside it is a job or a career that attracts its employees. When I enlisted if they had described my duties and then said "Oh, and it is a volunteer position, so you will not be paid". I would not have enlisted. The metrics most people use when choosing a military career is not serving their country it is the benefits. The same metrics we would use when applying for any job or career.

Maybe that's my problem it's 4/20 and I haven't turned up but unfortunately I don't have the means to do so. Dabs are too strong for me I'll probably end up teleporting to a waffle house like that FBI agent did. 😂😂
Maybe having a breakdown 2007 Britney Spears style might get me somewhere oh wait I'm not a celebrity so most likely it won't get me anywhere everyone will just dismiss me
You know who you are High-fivin', talkin' shit, but you're going home alone aren't cha? 'Cause I'm not here for your entertainment, no You don't really want to mess with me EVER Just stop and take a second (just stop and LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE) I was fine before you walked into my life 'Cause you know it's over (know it's over) before it began Keep your drink just give me the money It's just you and your hand FOR THE REST OF YOUR MISERABLE ASS LIFE

One must be brought to a point to think clear, anxiety etc are a barrier, but can't you get over that barrier? Life is hard, so then so do I ! Whatever happens in a flick of a day that changes my whole life is not the matter, it's what did you do to prevent it. Still fingers crossed and hopium liquids and vape and let faith decide. Made sure a whole institution of mental health recognized as grade A covered my arse today by sending some mails to the liquidator. Still have a final boss fight tomorrow, get there on time and talk my way out. And I mean get there very early from another city.. but I planned my route already and will be there even 20 mins before schedule
They may come with blah, I will respond read the docs sent to you. Why you do not trust gov app's? Cause I loathe your security and don't want to be exposed over the net. Why you.... and you choked his breath.

@Plan-A I completely misunderstood what you meant by posting those analytics about my forum. I thought there was malice behind it but I guess I over thought it. I overreacted and I panicked just because I didn't understand the intent. Maybe there was nothing to understand you just wanted to show some transparency on my part which I appreciate.
@Trixi Schutzo I'm sorry about that and will not do it again. I tend to verify URL's for fun, look at it as some passive recon. Those trackers were not linked to that project but a host. I hope you are not upset about this as my meaning was not to dox that project or site but was a stupid post.
