It's not like we don't embellish and overbuild high priority state of the art facilities today. A well back then may have been quite a proud and precious thing you point your best builders at, considering it was the life source

The fediverse seems like a good start. Wikileaks should host their own instances of mastodon/diaspora etc, and we should stop participating in these centralized commercial enclaves expecting them to prioritize respecting and protectin

If you buy physical gold, how does one go about converting that back into liquid cash without getting fleeced? Where do you sell it? I don't get the impression that pawn shops or jewelers pay fair amounts... what am I missing?

When people recommend buying gold, do they literally mean purchasing gold bars/coins and sticking them in a safe?

No worries, I was just curious to read about it.

That's pretty smart, using de-tuned aviation engines. But unlike what WalterBright is describing, these were appropriately reconfigured to not require high-octane fuel.

I couldn't find mention of anything else aviation-related in the per-tank pages, and the Maybach WWII engines page [0] doesn't speak to it either. Do you have any good references we can check out? [0] https://en.wikiped

Munich successfully pivoted to Linux for over a decade, then Microsoft Germany moved their HQ to Munich no doubt greasing many wheels in the process and Munich switched back to Windows a year later IIRC.

I had loaded that page and didn't see one, I guess it must require javascript.

Strange for that wikipedia page to not contain a single graphic representation of what's being described.

Yikes, do you know of any activitypub-compatible implementations actually packaged by distros? gnu social perhaps? diaspora? I checked out Pleroma after seeing it mentioned on that freshports mastodon page, which seemed a bit less onerous w

It appears "Installing from source" is the only option? Are there no distributions packaging mastodon and its dependencies such that I don't need to have gcc/build-essential and piles of -dev packages installed to run it

Can anyone recommend a good and current guide on setting up and maintaining your own mastodon instance?

Cuddling? Lots of mammals do it, and in my experience it's a very comforting and bond-reinforcing activity. It doesn't feel awkward and forced at all to me, unless with the wrong people, which strikes me as a desirable feature.

In some sense e-readers are an advantage, since it's less easily spoofed; instead you have to discuss the content of books with them, rather than be impressed by their collection of potentially unread paper lining the shelves.
