  • Look Into specs for helium miners for hardware and you’ll have a rough idea. The real question is software stack. How such a device would be interacted with from a user interface level, how would its version of webpages would work? I imagine its webpages would have to be text based with the option to download images or audio files as seperate files like the gemini protocol displayed as gemtext. Would consumers be willing to go back to early days web 1.0 style content like blogs and internet journals? You couldn’t use such a network connection for work or banking so thats another limitation.

    Look into ham radio internet and mesh networks in general its not fiction its just never seen enough mass adoption in a easy to set up onsumer bought package thats successfully advertised and well distributed.


  • Basically the problem is that you want to connect to the world-wide-internet, but you to so you need an ISP or satellite data provider to act as a middle man so they have all the control over who gets to access the internet (by paying them a service fee). What it sounds like you want is a mesh network where each user communicates with other users directly. Instead of your computer connecting to an ISP through your router, you connect to other computers in a local area network typically through wifi or radio signals. Its a decentralized network that everyone owns a small piece of which they send and recieve data from eachother.

    This technology has been around a very long time. Would you like to guess why its not popular or well known? Well, its slow and only useful in rural areas where you aren’t getting ISP service anyway. An intranet composed of 20 people connected in a few mile radius sharing usenet level information at download/upload speeds in the low kilobytes per second isn’t exactly what people think about or want when they think of the ‘internet’.

    Perhaps a time will come where a consumer bought mesh based network router comes onto the market with enough advertising and appeal to be bought into by the masses with state/nation wide coverage built around a smallnet protocol like Gemini. Something like this almost happened with the Helium Network unfortunately it was designed to send smart IOT information in small packets and was only mass adopted because it was tied to mining crypto shitcoin through proof-of-connectivity. If someone can create something similar but without the shitcoin, with a mesh router box that host your website and is sold on the idea of a decentralized internet with a one-time purchase to cut out ISP it might just work.


  • I am a developer for a free open source game inspired by Minecraft called VoxeLibre, I have also made one of the more popular mods for it.

    Development is a collaborative effort between many people so I cant call the game mine. I didn’t create it. But ive been contributing on and off for a few years trying to do what I can to improve the project. So in a way it feels like I’m at least part of the legacy at this point. I am proud of how far the project as a whole have come and proud of the talented people I have the pleasure to collaborate with.

    It started almost three years ago with simple typo bugfixes. I did not know anything about coding or pixel art making or git commits but liked it enough to learn through hard work and effort. Its been quite the ride ever since!

    We must be fundamentally different kinds of guitar players. Timing? Metronome? 10 millisecond delay? Why are you trying to perfectly copy someone else’s music when you could be arranging your own novel collections of frequencies? Why formalize your art or restrain playful acts of spontanious whimsy.

    When I play the timing comes from what feels right and sounds good.

    Each practice session my goal is to discover a new chord or a new way to piece the strumming and harmonic frequencies together in a way that I never have before, sometimes intentionally breaking rhythm speed just to experience a drastic shift or see how it affects the mood.

    Fuck time signatures and fuck musical notation, creative musical types are better off staying far away from them lest their imagination becomes caged by formality and law.

    I see your five paragraph long greentext post about forming pacts with deities from pagan occultism to charge your J.O crystals with long forgotten rituals requiring blessed lube on /x/, and raise the ante by sharing six paragraphs of my personal tales using heroic doses of magic mushrooms to experience ego death, astral project, and telepathically communicate with divine cosmic consciousness using trees as a medium!






  • I imagine what happened to them is the same as most regular people. Some of them found a career they may or may not enjoy, got married to someone out of love or fear of being alone, popped a couple kids, and are now relaxing while watching a sports game on the TV.

    School was over a decade ago, kids are shitheads with raging hormones flowing through their underdeveloped brains and usually a good heaping of unresolved neglect/abuse causing further emotional issues. Point is, I don’t care to hold hate in my heart for people who dont even exist anymore as they once were and ive moved on. I hope they found what they want out of life.







  • Mini pizza

    These mini pizzas are a cheap, quick and easy meal to make. They are also very satisfying in taste if you like pizza.

    Ingredients

    • One small round pita roll (flat tortilla rolls are a cheaper and less less caloric alternative)

    • Pizza sauce (regular spaghetti sauce is an OK cheap substitute)

    • Shredded cheese of your choosing. cheddar or pizza blend are good ones.

    • (Optional) spices like garlic, oregano, or dry hot peppers, black pepper, ect

    • (optional) topping like pepperoni, mushrooms, onion, jalapeño peppers, ham, ect

    Procedure

    Put the pita roll(s) on a baking sheet. Apply pizza sauce or similar substitute with a spoon spreading it evenly around the pita roll.

    Apply optional toppings like pepperoni, onion, pepper, ham, ect

    Then layer the shredded cheese of your choosing. make sure to cover the roll and toppings evenly . Don’t be afraid to use a extra handful!

    Turn oven on to conventional bake at 350°f and let the mini pizzas cook for 10 minutes or until they get crispy. Check them at the 6-7 min mark.

    Remove from oven, apply optional spices while cheese is still hot and let them cool for a minute or two.
