Hahaha, that was my first thought as well, until I remembered blizzards are a weather phenomema.

Official statement from Discord: “Oopse woopse we did a fucky wucky. Sue us hahaha you won’t”

Sadly, a lot of sites have started shuttering their RSS feeds and hiding content behind paywalls. I have to periodically clean my feed and remove dead links.Luckily, there are a lot of sites that basically copy AP and Reuters news verbatim.

Kindles are pretty decent ereaders if you don’t connect them to amazon’s ecosystem and just keep them in airplane mode. And unlike phones, they can hold a charge after a few years.

I’m gonna start listening to podcasts, they’re more informative and less bandwidth heavy anyway.

I am toying with the idea of creating a PDA of sort from a raspberry pie, touchscreen and a powerbank. Case can be 3d printed, it would be bulky af and equipped with Tails or some other secure OS.

On a related note, I wish we would acknowledge that men socialize different and that guys doing stuff together is therapeutic. Ruminating on emotions can have a negative effect in men, while work therapy can be much effective that talk therapy.

NAS devices can hold several hard drives, and most of them have wi-fi and other networking capabilities

I find it funny how we’ve resorted to streaming services in an age where you can put 256 gigabytes ono a pinky nail sized storage solution. Ereaders are even better, my old Kindle with 4gb of storage can hold an entire library.
