My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

It blows my mind that America could cut enough from its military budget to single-handedly fix extreme poverty and world hunger, and they'd still have the largest military budget in the world.

i'm trying to think of a person to whom this wouldn't come off as vaguely insulting and i haven't thought of them yet

I live in the deep south and don't have any other #trans people to ask questions to. I know there is no "right way" to be trans but I have so many questions about others' experience. I think I'm gonna ask questions here since I've never seen a more supportive group of people. Please feel free to boost for visibility and feel free to let me know if I'm too much.
lmao, *all* of my eSun-printed filament clips have stopped, well, clipping - they just break apart now if you bend them. Despite having had zero daylight exposure. This filament is *so bad*

If anyone sees this bus – it's just been stolen in Vienna, and is important infrastructure to a lot of people, including a few times to me myself, but most importantly to @bus_klaus@twitter.com who lives in it.

1. Crows are super smart.
2. Crows can remember faces.
3. Crows have regional dialects.
4. Crows investigate the cause of death of the deceased.
5. Crows make & use tools.
6. Crows hide their food.
7. Crows have the largest brain to body ratio of any bird. Their brain to body ratio is bigger than humans.
8. A group of crows is called 'a murder of crows'.

An important reminder at this time of year:
You are under no obligation to maintain a tradition that you do not enjoy or cannot afford.
Guess I'll spend my crappy eSun filament on Gridfinity bins...

Found this in my images and thought it would be useful to someone else/ they might also find this interesting.

people keep spending too much time thinking about what a technology *is* and not enough about *who owns it and how they profit from it.*
and even less time thinking about *how they can destroy that property relation and liberate the underlying technology* if it's useful

Just learned of this giant adorable fox sculpture in Rotterdam and now I must share it with everyone.

@joepie91 This is not an answer, but I really hope there *is* a good answer.
I'd love to have an "internet" VM that simulates a (small scale) global internet, with packet losses, variable latency, etc., in a configurable way, along with a way to hook up individual client VMs to the fake-internet (with simulated NAT etc. like you mention). A turn-key solution really ought to be possible, but I'm not sure one exists.

What's the easiest way to set up a simulated network with ISP-style NAT? Preferably without buying dedicated hardware for the purpose, and preferably reproducible for other developers.
Usecase: I am developing a P2P system, and need a reasonably representative environment to test my software in, and how well it deals with shitty residential networking configurations.
I'm a developer, not a network engineer, so my knowledge of networks is limited to a developer perspective and I don't have the spoons to learn it in-depth.
Boosts appreciated 
What. KDE's SFTP integration just broke, and frustration-F5ing my file browser actually worked to fix it???

I love how well my P100 mask goes with my Tali hoodie.💜 I am always masked bc I'm immunocompromised, disabled & chronically ill, the pandemic isn't over and I am not trying to collect any more illnesses, thanks 😂 Extra protection from COVID feels very Quarian to me 😌😷

is it bad if your VM is reporting a CPU temperature of -273 degrees celsius
