  • Wireless data transmission should only ever be used for nomadic, temporary, and/or sacrificial links.

    They’re useful for quick deployment, but are intrinsically brittle and terrible for resiliency and efficiency.

    The longer the dependence on them for a given use case, the less defensible arguments in support of them become.

    I’m all for the use of satellite delivery of internet services, but only when it’s used in conjunction with a broader roll out of hardwired infrastructure, at which point it can reasonably be relegated to serving as a secondary, backup diverse path.


  • Low birth rates are problematic to carcinogenic ideologies.

    Positioning the increase in population as a core tenet for a system condemns it to resource exhaustion.

    I’m all for providing the option to ‘procreate’ where it’s appropriate and non-coercive, but demanding it as a requirement for acceptable incorporation into society should always be disparaged and ridiculed.














  • I cut my teeth with DOS and Netware, used Windows until the day 98 was released (had been using the GM for a month), and cut over to Slackware as my daily driver. Dabbled with Redhat before stabilising on Debian, which I’ve never found a need to change from for my headless boxes.

    One thing I specifically remember was hand tuning my X11 config to drive my 15” Trinitron at 1024x768 @ ~68Hz.
