"A Lightweight VPN Built on top of IPFS + Libp2p"

Seems like both at a glance

You're not alone - Disney Star Wars has being either absolutely fantastic (Rogue One, etc.) or absolutely trash (789, etc.). Rogue One had good characters with interesting motivations and growth. Jyn had to come to terms with her fathers role in the empire and make choices on how to tackle unclear situations.

The new trilogy featured Rey, who... never changed or grew or really faced any meaningful challenge? She was just... always stronger/better because she just was. It felt more like playing a video game where your character fights increasingly big bad guys but never actually changes skills or unlocks new stuff.

And c'mon... "somehow Palpatine has returned" is the laziest piece of shit you can think of. That's some 5th grade fiction writing assignment shit.

Nifty! I built something similar for my university graduation project. Did a PCB, ESP8266 based as well. Temperature, humidity, sound, vibration, airborne particulate sensor, and some other stuff.

Wrapped a server up in docker for receiving the data, basic dashboard in JS for minor reactivity in components. Never ended up actually doing it cause I didn't have a consistent host, but maybe I should spin it up again now that I have a home server.

Cool project, looks neat! Anything you were caught off guard by when doing this?

Right?

Like I'm not out here claiming Kamala was a particularly exciting candidate, but it's not like this was remotely a difficult choice to make. This is absolutely reflective of a fundamentally incompetent electorate.

Even if you wanted to make that argument, 70ish million people actively voted for Trump. He wants to remove fluoride from water. I don't know what to tell you about those 70 million people lol.

Oh I know, the whole communication space is cooked. I don't know if it was just bad PR or intentional manipulation but the concrete positive impacts of the Biden admin are so unknown its sad.

Don't forget the 10 prescription meds Biden negotiated MUCH lower prices for.

But hey, "Biden didn't do anything"

This trickles out to content consumers as well though - some of my younger friends always do these replacements everywhere, and they're definitely not a content creator. Exposure to a speech pattern will inevitably influence your own.

Please note I'm not passing a value judgement like "kids these days", just pointing out that not everyone who does this is a content creator.

What's really funny about Trump winning Latino votes in Florida is that when surveyed, they went Trump for "the economy". So... my comment stands.

But yes as a Canadian, the results of the US election and the performance of the Democratic party are things I'll personally need to "look in the mirror" about.

Alternatively, I can appreciate how dumb American voters are, as 70 million of them vote to actively make their lives much worse. <3

The "this is extremely dangerous to our democracy" wasn't a jab at the Sinclair Media Group's "this is extremely dangerous to our democracy" campaign some years ago? Which was definitely a media conspiracy to push a narrative.

If that wasn't a reference and just accidentally the exact phrase, oops. If it was, then the implication that the democratic party's media machine was manipulating consistent messaging was pretty clear.

Berkshire Hathaway had built up $300B in cash reserves - maybe Warren decided it was time to buy?
