It’ll happen some day. There will eventually be “Illegal” wireless transmitting devices that do things such as transmit data over disallowed frequencies, break the token rate speed limit imposed by the fcc (fuck 56k) and illegally use encryption (using data encryption on amateur radio is illegal). When they do start becoming a thing, they’ll be able to transmit data maybe a few miles at up to a megabyte per second (not 1 megabit), or for dozens of miles at a few kilobytes per second. Depending on whether the designers wanted to prioritize speed or distance.

The technology exists to make such wireless transceivers using off the shelf parts available to normal people, there’s just no reason for them to exist. Yet.

Huh, I’m going to try shaving my armpits. I’m a smelly guy and I seem to need to use a lot of deodorant to keep it under control.

Fuck reddit. I always read through the posts on here, I just don’t comment if I have nothing to add.

I want to rent one of those airport mall storefronts and sell parachutes to 737 max customers.

Instead of a regular backpack can I just bring a parachute as my carryon?

Maybe stop treating the common person like utter dogshit. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

I am trying to use wifi for “everything”. I know it’s bad but there is no honest to goodness way I can get ethernet to anything except the router and modem. It’s complicated. Even a 60hz ac to ethernet wall plug transceiver has to go through enough breakers and stuff it’s not worth trying.

I forgot which exact router I have but it’s basically the highest end Cisco home router that works with dd wrt. It usually costs $300 on amazon. My internet connection is dsl but I’m not trying to get higher internet speeds, just higher lan speeds.

If my low effort network setup only yields me a maximum of 7mbytes/sec I’m fine with it I just want to be able to get more than 1 meg per second on the one system that needs it the most.

Do you want the government to commit genocide or do you want to government to commit genocide but also to some of the American people? Shit sucks either way but I can’t vote for someone who might send members of my family to camps.

Is jellyfin good? Several years ago I wrote a very basic php search system and then made another php script to generate a clickable list of every video file in a directory. These 2 put together makes a better than nothing media server that I can use with confidence knowing it’s probably really secure and not sending any data to anyone on the internet.

My setups lan transfer speed is slow all the time for reasons beyond my understanding so I have to find a way to fix that first before I can think about changing my media server software anyway. My 1mb/s download/1.2mb/s upload speed on my server and 4-7mb/s for each other pc is good enough to watch some stuff but it really sucks that after overhead and performance losses, that’s all that’s left of my 400mbits/sec wifi connection. I barely even use it and don’t have any non Linux pcs on my network so it’s not like it’s slow due to actual traffic. Router and wifi card manufacturers are scamming us all. Divide any advertizered wireless network speed by 64 and that’s the maximum you can expect in my experience.

Wow I didn’t realize they also allowed home cultivation. It’s good to see lawmakers at least somewhere in the world just doing good stuff for once. Some faith in humanity restored.

My system is too broken for this malware to work. I use Arch btw.

Some motherboards in 2024 still don’t work if you put the ram in the wrong ram slots. I ran into that problem on an am5 board recently.

Idk, I just hope the Republicans aren’t successful at putting a stop to current legalization progress. Fucking fascists. Alcohol kills.

Let’s try to use the economy destroy the crazy country that has nukes. What could possibly go wrong?

China’s has been “on the brink of something” for ages now. I don’t see icbms flying over my head right now so it’s probably not worth worrying about.

Fine, I’ll put copper in my coffee since it’s cheaper.

Most of my problems are caused by other people being evil. I’d take being the last person on earth over that any day. I wouldn’t live a super long time just because of lack of access to healthcare but I can’t afford that today anyway.

Governments, along with the corporations who will struggle to find employees when this happens have all brought this upon themselves. Treating people like dogshit all the time doesn’t pay off in the long run.

Thanks for the write up.

After weighing my options, I think I’m going to just go with normal printer paper. When I said using normal printer paper would be more than twice as thick, I wasn’t accounting for the fact that I’d be using both sides. So a 500 page ream should equal 1000 double sided pages. So that means the final size using normal printer paper would only be a little thicker instead of more than twice as thick.

I found some newsprint paper on Amazon that might work but I have an ink jet and I’m thinking it’s not going to be worth the hassle considering normal paper isn’t as bad of a choice as previously thought.

I’m going to do a few trial runs before deciding how I’ll actually bind them together and not print all 1000+ pages before learning somethings not going to work. I want to avoid 3 ring binder. Splitting it into sections sounds like the way to go. I’ll experiment with spiral bound. Regular hard cover looks enticing but I’d say that route has a high likelihood of not working out especially with the paper size and quantity I’m dealing with. Maybe I’ll dissect a college textbook and see what’s inside the spine.
