So long, and thanks for all the fish

If you’re into self hosting, Bytestash is very nice!

whatbox.ca has been good to me too. They expanded my storage for free during a server upgrade, which was very nice of them.

Inglourious Basterds.

However much I liked all the Tarantino flicks before this one, I just cannot get into Inglourious. Also, everything Tarantino made after that movie is also tainted by the same uneasy feeling I get. If pressed to guess why, I’d say he took the stories out of the ‘now’ and transported them to other times and places, which just does not seem to agree with me.

Not sure how much this project does Insights, but that would be a valid reason: for AI to better assess when followers engage with the content in order to optimize publishing times.

I like Maybe Finance. Perhaps a bit basic but it does the trick for me. And the interface is quite nice too. No automation or bank imports though so it probably won’t fit your purposes perfectly.

Added the exa aliases. Nice to see pacman points exa to eza as the former is unmaintained.

Yes it’s quite similar to the scrobbling and recommendations of last.fm!

Listenbrainz has decent recommendations

Still, there might be psychological changes because of immortality. Survival instinct might grow even stronger the longer one lives, a bit like sunk-cost fallacy. Or if death becomes something exotic, of times long passed, it might no longer be regarded as a serious option, similar to how we’ve grown opposed to sacrificing virgins, or to using Myspace or Windows.

I had the same hope when I was younger. Later on I imagined the last star dying and the utter dread the immortals would have to face.

Also: obligatory Mitchell & Webb sketch

Fun fact, during the same trip he also mentioned that doctors assisting abortions are hired killers.

Fallout 4 survivor mode melee build. That game just won’t leave me alone!

One book I read predicted societal disruption for 2035, with a total collapse of nations around 2050. I found it overly dramatic at the time, but now, 15 years later, it seems we’re well ahead of that prediction.

“I think we are headed for major societal disruption within the next five years,” said Gretta Pecl, at the University of Tasmania. “[Authorities] will be overwhelmed by extreme event after extreme event, food production will be disrupted. I could not feel greater despair over the future.”

In The Guardian yesterday

A local extreme right MP had his ties to Chinese spies laid bare this year, did not even make a dent in the polls.

The elections will be brutal…

It’s a very intersting viewpoint, pardon me for exploring further. So future you (or me) is also dead until the brief flash of life where yours and his consciousness finally overlap, before lapsing into nothingness again.

It’s very reasonable even, to think everything not experienced this very moment is totally alien to us.

Thanks for stretching my grey matter on this dull day!

By that rationale, wouldn’t other people then also be dead, as you cannot experience their consciousness?
