Let’s start mirroring and torrenting full ROMsets!

Retrospectively, wasn’t a lot of the space-exploration-based SciFi from the 50s 60s 70s serving the purpose of justifying massive government spendings in big rockets, mainly used to build ICBMs, to justify imperialist policies and the cold war?

were we (the scifi afficionados) the useful idiots of this missile race?

yeah you need to know the password or secret handshake (like a protocol handshake) to be let in! :)

“porte” in French means a door.

Imagine each port is a door, all neatly aligned… some of them can be opened and lead to something… (a service)

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ is a good place to start.

would you remove the battery during those 20 years?

going outside, musing around, gazing at the clouds and plants and all

cooking! finding out about good ingredients and how to make them even better! fermenting too…

Simplex.chat is promising, with great privacy/anonymity concepts at its core:

• no identifyer like a phone# or an email address needed
• little to no metadata transiting by the server
• identity management (“incognito” identities generated in one click when joining a group for instance, management of several identities), all database/client-side.
• works with any server, through tor by default. different servers used to send/receive messages.
• android/ios/linux-tui/linux-desktop/macos/windows versions available
• in Haskell, so no node/electron shtf#ckery (just a different shtf#ckery… ;)) )

something you cooked from the bottom of your heart, inspired by that person, improvising with seasonal ingredients, with a touch of crazy zestiness (lime, ginger, chili)? something that would taste delicious and show how inventive and thoughtful you are!

As many people mentioned backups before, I would only add this: Maybe check -in your favourite search engine- if the very same model of computer that you use doesn’t have know quirks (hardware needing some tweaking, not being fully recognized, etc.) with gnu/linux, like for instance searching “$model linux” or “$model $distro” (with the distros you plan on trying, etc.

Also maybe if you connect only via Wifi, check that wifi chip for compatibility first, and maybe get as a backup a USB wifi dongle that is know to work on gnu/linux… juuuust in case ;)

me too! <3

Last generation emulation console (A*bernic). All history of video games up to PS1 in my pocket/backpack <3
