10 Basil Varieties and How to Use Them

No actual instructions on how to use them

You know the funny thing is, here in Russia some of the patriotic tankie folk, unsatisfied with how the war is going, have started to spread the conspiracy that Putin himself is a CIA asset, whose sole job throughout his entire presidency is to destroy the remnants of USSR, but in a subtle enough way not to cause an outright revolt…

So, if Putin owns Trump, and CIA owns Putin, and Trump owns CIA, then who’s controlling who in this crazy world? (though why would it matter, all of them belong to the guillotine anyway)

I don’t see what’s the point of the second one if the syntax highlight, even in the first example, already shows a changed role.

A more realistic solution for the example code would be to setup a linter in the pipeline, and if one letter variables and/or template literals are detected, depending on how nice you are, reject the commit, or send an email requesting the author to be beaten up with a crowbar to the teamlead, and a copy, parsed by chatGPT for formality and politeness, to the HR.

Just do it now, why wait.

Also, don’t forget the following:

1. Open All, sort by new, click through upvote and downvote buttons randomly.

2. Sort by hot, open random post, comment something completely wrong and unrelated to the post.

3. Go to explore, pick random subreddit, sort by top year or all time. Pick random post from the first dozen and repost it back into the same subreddit. Not cross-post, just copy whatever title/image/text/link there are without changing a thing. Bonus points for doing this on subreddits for current events and hitting a frontpage

4. Do NOT delete the account. The account age and karma will shield you from anti spam/bot protections in case you ever decide to do it again.

And that’s the problem. The whole privacy thing goes out the window because it relies on an insecure and state-controlled method for authentication. What’s the use of it if it can be killed off in any country at a whim of its, or USA’s government?

Let’s say the US gov starts agressively prosecuting dissidents and certain minorities (they already do): can and should we still use signal in this case?

Definitely no. Russian government already is aggressively prosecuting dissidents and you can’t join Signal there. I don’t know whether it’s due to sanctions or if the government is blocking 2FA SMS messages. In either case, it is impossible to join without a phone number confirmation. At least I wasn’t able to. I don’t see the USA being that far off with all the recent TikTok drama.

I do. Mine doesn’t have it and it wasn’t once that I’ve found long-forgotten, rotten food in there.

We don’t use that one around here anymore. wget and curl is what we use to download a browser.

Might as well, since there’s no real way to delete posts or comments on fediverse.

Вы пробовали выключить и снова включить?

Uhhh… I’d say he already crossed that threshold recently when he flung that empty ballistic missle into some random ass factory

LMAO, what a sub… I don’t what I expected going in, but it certainly wasnt a crypto scam as the first post. More like conservative @ my ass

W&O X9 Call. It’s a terrible watch, basically just a shitty android phone inside of a knockoff applewatch case. It runs Android 9 on 2" screen, 4GB RAM and 64GB of space (didn’t even test that one tbh), battery life - nonexistent (less than a day). But I’ve been looking specifically for stuff like this and bought a load of them at wholesale for like $28.5 a piece… and the specs didn’t even exactly match between all of them. Loaded them up with cheapest plans for IoT devices, installed termux, nodejs and moved some of my personal scripts over to them. One app/script per piece, no need for VM’s or containers 🤣 And they got their own links so firewall is also not necessary.

None of them have static IP’s accessible from outside though, so for stuff I need public access to I jam that into the remaining RAM space on one of the few of my $1/mo lowendboxes that I’m using primarily as VPN servers. Got them all on tailscale, so I could theoretically use Funnel to route traffic from public internet to those watches (haven’t tried yet). And still to figure out some way for them to failover onto each other’s internet because the plans are extremely limited, will probably have to learn android app development for that when I get to it.

There is also HK Ultra 2 which I believe is essentially the same thing, and I saw a few other variants on the market without even a brand name, so the only way to find them would be to search for “sim card” or sorting smartwatches category by bad reviews first 😂

Ah, and also a disclaimer: I am not promoting this as a viable way to host things. This is just my personal exercise at hobo engineering

Modern tech is so wasteful. Why’d you ever need all that stuff for.

Back in the day I used to host all my stuff on a dinky little router (ASUS Wl500g, 300mhz 32MB RAM) with a powered USB hub and a spare USB HDD hooked to it. It handled downloading torrents overnight, hosted a few websites, an FTP/SAMBA server, an image/screenshots hosting and galleries for me and my friends, including that one script that generated a GIF of all my epic gamer stats on each access, a couple of bots, sent me weather reports via SMS, hosted a webcam to be used as IP security camera, and also a dumb printer so that it could be used by anyone on the network, besides working as my actual router.

When it died* I moved all that stuff to an old UMPC. And nowadays, I host my shit on $30 smartwatches with Termux.

Meanwhile, one of the commercial projects I’ve been working with lately, which is basically just a glorified image dump, with all the modern bells and whistles, doesn’t even launch if the machine has less than 32GB RAM… smh

EDIT: * It was the HDD that died, the router itself is still chugging along, but with less duties as just a network switch for less demanding appliances

YOOUUGH!!!

He did tho. I don’t know where and why you’ve pulled these quotes from, when the original message is available publicaly, and where it’s very clear whom exactly he accused.

As someone who picked up an eFat last summer, I really regret not going for moped or shelling out for eMoto like surron.

The main thing that bother me is that I thought bicycle parts would be largely commodified and interchangeable, but what I’ve met instead was a lot of gatekeeping and ridiculously overpriced parts. For example, rear suspension is still somehow a luxury on bicycles while being an essential piece on pretty much every motor vehicle and even modern electric scooters and EUC’s out there.

Another is that all that extra weight makes it a terrible as a bicycle, to the point I don’t really want to pedal like ever.

This combined makes the pro of being able to ride the sidewalks pointless - I’d be much better off driving the road.

But then, from a motorcycle perspective, I got a fraction of range and speed for the same price, for the pro of being able to store it in my apartment… But I kind of have to, because unlike motorcycle, there’s no alarm, no ignition key, zero security features, and the battery dies in the cold so I can’t even keep it in my garage.

There is another pro that I don’t need a driving license… well, technically I do because the power rating falls into moped range, but nobody ever checks that, so people commonly get away with 5kV+ eMoto’s and supercharged mopeds just as well.

Thanks you, we’ve now got another data point which shows that it only takes 27 hours for someone to get brainwashed

I’m tripping and seeing four panels of memes without the actual meme part

You can give waterfox a shot. It’s back to being independent and is stable now, has long track record, unlimited extensions, unlocked about:config and isn’t affected by mozilla’s bulshit.
