Yes I am.

I think I’m run pfsense of a laptop since there are so many of them available second hand on Craigslist.

It’s also surprising that there are so few towers to sale second hand as well.

i wonder if there’s something poetic about one of europe’s oldest empires working against the world’s current empire.

what is it?

i hadn’t considered going w other motherboards nor aliexpress.

thank you for idea, i imagine i’m going to need it considering the severe lack of mini-itx lga 1200 socket motherboards there seems to be out there.

so i’ve discovered. lol

i’m going to have to change tactics and i’m wondering if i can get away with doing this on a laptop since there are so many available second hand; unlike towers for some reason.

i’m convinced that the epstein oligarchy would launch nukes or hasten some sort of similar apocalypse like climate change rather than lose control.

please don’t ask loaded, third-rail questions

never heard of these; what are they?

lemmy needs to ask for a snark tag like outlook asks me if i want to spell/grammar check before clicking on the send button. lol

i used to have a black rug that my black dog and my black cat liked sleeping on and i had to get rid of it because i kept stepping on them in my dimly lit apartment; so seeing these two on that rug gives me anxiety. lol

exclusions apply: i’ve been building my own router out of second hand parts for the last 15 years and the pickin’s are very slim rn.

was that this past weekend?! i thought it was earlier

i do and i hope it inspires other people when i become famous enough. lol

it did and it was really good; that’s why i felt so dirty. lol

we should have a meme of this and share it with everybody so we can respond w the meme each time. lol

If nothing else, these are obvious community building and networking opportunities. The US is starved of these opportunities …

americans are indeed starved, but it’s not an accident we find ourselves in this condition.

it’s also true that these could serve a networking oppurtunity, but given american’s collectivism-phobia, it’s going to literally take generations using things like the no kings to make a dent.

you’re not wrong, like most arent, you’re just missing some blanks and most of us here can see some of them like i just did.

it’s more like trump has ripped off the veil both domestically and foreign alike.

as the prime minister of canada said at davos: the international rules based order has always been a farce and; up until trump; our epstein overlords have understood the importance of maintaining the appearance of international cooperation to justify genocides and ethnic cleansing for profit seeking control all over the world.

trump is the first american leader to openly believe that hard power is the only thing that matters and that soft power is burden at best to the us empire’s prowess; that’s why he respects russia for its perceived military capabilities and shutdown usaid & withdrew memberships from several international governing bodies.

paid for by their tax money

and enthusiastically endorsed each and every time.

i prefer to get my news from neutral sources, like the new york times or the bbc. lol

i just read the plot summary in wikipedia and it reads like it suffers from the same thing that “relax, i’m from the future” does; the good guys mostly lose; which explains why americans didn’t like it (despite it being critically acclaimed) and why it disappeared from the movie theaters so quickly.

those are my favorite kind of movies so now i REALLY want to watch it. lol

i just hope that the ending isn’t as cryptic, because that’s frustrating AF since so few people watched it, there’s no one online to explain it.

i had a similar setup when i worked at a NOC.

thank god i never intended to have children. lol
