  • I thought I killed my analog oscilliscope about 20 minutes ago. Thankfully I didn’t, so that’s pretty cool.

    If I’m smart, I’ll soon cut off basically everything news adjacent, maybe including lemmy depending if I can get good filters. Maybe a desprate effort to claw back from anything which weighs me down, given the gravity of our future, but eh.





  • As i don’t want to divulge too much, some information will be sporatic/somewhat improper.

    My family dealt with a neighbor, which of whom I can only describe as a plurality of serial harassers. By that I mean we were not the first, nor the last family for this entire family to explicitly target and fixate on for at least months on end. This was before 2016 to add (they ended up right where you’d expect).

    Not just a not ring camera. Seriously DM me and im more than willing to help on the technical side of setting up a Frigate local NVR. Shouldnt cost your more than $200. If you go the home assistant route, it makes it trivial to set up an alarm system with zigbee or simular devices.

    Now i have to be careful, among other things the neighbor was having their kids steal our mail, we recorded evidence of such, but they seemingly had a friend in the PD. Im not saying to expect this or necessarily take my advice, but especially being a red area, the cops will not help you if it comes to it. They will be 15 minutes after a shooting is called in.

    We had evideable damage and video of one of their kids trying to break in our garage.

    They still put my parents enployement at the time in jeopardy.

    You get the 2A side of that, but ideally you want to avoid that entirely.

    We eventually put up proper cameras, and some of the derangement subsided, floodlights are of particular use.

    You cannot let yourself live in paranoia. But similarly you cannot be caught with your pants down.

    We were in a ranch, thus no upstairs. They would shine flashlights at our windows. Laser pointer to the eyes would stop them quick.

    Your situation is a lot more - forward. But there are pieces of information i believe you could use to your benefit in a preparedness scenario.

    Again, DM me if you need any technical help, I’ll be happy to

    PS definitely be done with FB. Theres a lot more shit than this one clown to do with that place. Ive been trying to avert my SOs father from something similar as well, but FB is another tool of this admin ib many ways









  • I think you’re forgetting how much 100 billion is. The top 1% globally starts at about 1 mil USD in savings, which if a recall, even the whitest Americans are far enough from. And here a handful of multibillionaires escape to let your reductive worldview ultimately contribute nothing to any semblance of progress and further their torching of our lives.

    Not only are you wrong, but you sound like a psycho with a very limited understanding of the world, no different than the uberwealthy perpetuating this.








  • Surprised to see so few mentions of For All Mankind, I really wanted to like it I did, but I only got about 2 episodes in. I realized the setting was the only thing that remotely interested me, the characters were bland at best, and absolutely incompetent at worst.

    It was a series with the ripe call to the “competency porn” as I’ve seen described as, but the characters couldn’t contrast the setting any further. I did spoil myself before I tried getting into it, a few moments stuck out to me. Firing on two unarmed cosmonauts, getting crushed between two interplanetary vessels while trying to covertly siphon fuel, and having a child on mars. Just did not feel very NASA by the end of it, tell me if you think I’m wrong and should give another chance however.

    Oddly enough I think I found that aesthetic I was looking for in Stargate SG-1, I never really gave that franchise a chance until now, I’m almost surprised how well it seemed to age, especially how little I see it mentioned in comparison to Trek, or even Doc Who (which i know next to nothing of)
