We need open mesh networking now more than ever. More and more governments are using Internet shutdowns to gain control of the the people.

This will only get worse.

Hacking 1998:
"Watch me reck this mail server"
* Sends attachment with infinitely nested zip files causing spam filter to go into infinite loop unpacking them and run the machine out of memory

Hacking 2018:
"Watch me reck this guy's mind"
* Makes argument from fabricated political position which is obviously invalid and extremist, but is so wrought with logical inter-dependencies that trying to spot the actual fallacy leads to memory exhaustion, leaving victim unable to successfully refute it.

When they first taught us the alphabet in school, it seemed like an incredibly daunting task to me. There were so many different letters, how would I learn them all?!

Then they introduced us to math and told us there's an infinite amount of numbers. I just thought "that's it, no way I'll learn them all, I'll have to become a famous singer".

Turned out I suck at singing. And I still don't know all the numbers. Pretty good with the alphabet, though.

Ridiculously simple idea:
Bootloader shows a colorful background which is derived from the hash of the kernel you're booting. If you get evil-maided, they would have to install a new custom firmware which fakes the same colors, and there are a number of ways to make this really difficult to reproduce...

Just a general warning to anyone who uses #paypal -- never keep a balance in your account. They terminated the account I was using for @TShirtsBot and also for consulting work. They froze the money in my account for 3 months and refused to give me any reason why even after talking to someone on the phone. #fuckpaypal

Tech Support: A Limerick

You have a few problems computing,
And call them for help troubleshooting.
"I'm sorry" they say,
As you start to pray,
"But have you attempted rebooting?"

it's not that if you talk to nazis you get converted, it's that the mainstream is wrong and insane and its positions are easily refuted, and it also regards anything oppositional to it as a form of nazism. the "rise in nazism" is just the collapse of mainstream governing legitimacy as seen through the diseased eyes of the mainstream.
