Kecelij··on I turned my old desktop into 2.5TB NAS Linux server with a few hard drives
yeah I was thinking about doing it in RAID, but then I thought: I am gonna be using this NAS just for a redundant backups from my external hard drive and laptop, so I won't really lose anything if it shits the bed :D
Kecelij··on Fertility Fraud: Artificial insemination doctors who used their own sperm
I know what you mean, but if I followed that anxious mindset.... then anyone who would die from a minor scratch probably deserves to die. Darwin in action, yes please.

I am aware of my hypocrisy, but I would honestly rather live with primal tribes and not stress about all the shit happening with the world. I mean, what kind of a society will my eventual children grow into? 1984-Big brother world. Jesus.

I would rather hunt a bear, then eat it for a week with my tribe, and then dance around the fire while drinking some psychedelic drink in the warm night, seeing all the stars and milky way without all the light pollution. Oh wouldn't that be just stress-free life?

"University in Israel suggested that the parts of the brain that light up the most are startlingly different for each parent."

Startlingly? Almost like every person was different..

"combination of locks on the food supply that only they knew".

In apocalyptic scenario very easily solved by torture.

I guess these guys (who are empty inside and trying to fill it with money) never played Fallout, heh.

Tell me, how does one get 85k claps on medium?
Kecelij··on People Simply Empty Out (1986)
I would never do that. I am a jack of all trades and I intend to keep it that way. One man business.

Working for yourself. Creating your own business, not being a slave to the system and being manipulated by media and the collective unconscious into thinking it's normal to work for someone, to sell your SELF, not your products (as it should be, in a rational society). Sadly, nothing about todays society is rational. But hey, if you wanna spend 1/3 of your life working a job you think is "OK", fucking have at it.

I would be ashamed to have written on my tombstone "worked 1/3 of his life as a sys admin".

There is no meaning in that. Just an empty job to have money, for what? For more stuff? To teach your children to do the same? Keeping materialistic corporations afloat with me taking care of the servers and stuff.

Best control is no control. Taoist anarchy is my political system of choice.
Kecelij··on Europe’s heat wave moves north
well, what are you gonna do about the global warming?

convince people to stop using their IPhones, stop using your PC, stop driving cars, stop using electricity. Bam, problem solved. Or try to overthrow corporations with big carbon monoxide signatures. Yeah, I didn't think so.

It is an immensely complex problem that has no easy solution, and people talking about it is not gonna do much, or is it??

Kecelij··on Google’s File on You Is 10 Times Bigger Than Facebook’s
> Google is not only constantly tracking our online movements but may also be monitoring our physical locations.

our locations? no way, we had no idea :O

> report contained an incredible amount documentation on his web activity, going back over a decade.

another dude who doesn't know how to turn off google's history

> the amount of time he spent there, and even the path he took to get there and back

jesus christ, did a footbal mum write this article?

> discovered the company had been archiving his data even when he browsed in Incognito mode, a setting that advertises itself as one that does not save browsing history.

yeah.. history vs IP/browser fingerprinting

Overall nothing new in this article and the title is obviously a false statement.

The file is bigger because he's been using the service longer and my take is that Google is tracking the location almost continuosly (more data), whereas Facebook has way way more sensitive data, like... chat messages and images with all your friends for the past 10 years..
