I'm looking for that old British guy who sets in chair and does 45 min lectures on the state of the world. He might have been a doctor, he did loads of COVID-19 content and I know he wrote a book but for the life of me I can't remember his name.

A tasty little track for your birthday.

And the voice over... I did that for myself.

I would always think of this scene from Forgetting Sarah Marshal(2008) when I was getting sober last year. It has almost been a year so I thought I would post it. I don't really know any other way to be supportive to all those that struggle with serious substance abuse issues on this site, but that is my 2 cents.

I think it's important to keep an eye on all this shit happening. Here is the head guys take I got off telegram.


"In my life, there is a family emergency. It has absolutely nothing to do with the forum drama. I cannot and will not elaborate further. There will be a week or more where I am completely unavailable and it is likely the site will go down during this time where I will not be able to bring it up.

I want to appraise our situation frankly.

Domain Registrar
Cloudflare was both our application-level DDoS mitigation and our domain registrar. They have given me a way to transfer my domains to another registrar. I do not know what registrar to send it to because I do not have faith in any company.

DDoS Mitigation
DDoS-Guard will drop us dropped us while I was writing this post. This meme about Russia being a free country is a joke. The US is a free country, but with no stewards to protect it. Without the US, there is no second best. I did not expect Cloudflare to crumple so quickly and I don't have a Plan C for DDoS mitigation.

Resource Allocation
I own IP addresses. Our IP allocation is from APNIC. APNIC is one of the 5 private companies which allocate Internet resources around the world. APNIC happens to be based out of Australia, which recently passed draconian censorship laws. There is an effort to get our RIR to revoke our allocation. This would be unprecedented in the history of the Internet, and considering China is in APNIC's region, an absolutely horrific standard which will echo throughout the upcoming decades. There is a non-zero chance of this happening.

Hosting
We have one host and I am looking at two more. It is likely that the host will give up too. The two hosts confident they can handle the Kiwi Farms are probably wrong. DDoS-Guard was confident they could handle the Kiwi Farms and said "bring it on" for less than 24 hours.


This is an organized attack. There is a coalition of criminals trying to frame the forum for their behavior. These criminals provide opportunities for professional victims to amplify their message. Journalists canonize the crimes as the behavior of the forum itself, which becomes the effective truth for the general public.

This is a machine that was built up formerly against 8chan and activates any time the cathedral wants to test the new fronts of its censorship. It is a massive amalgamation of various interests. I am one person. The financial limitations aren't even the real problem - the problem is, I am powerless alone. There is no amount of money I can throw to convince people to be brave and be free. This is just the reality of our country.

And what this machine will not accept is compromise. If I censored specific kinds of behavior, it would not matter. They don't want a specific thing censored. They want the average person to be able to speak in channels where only specific thoughts are acceptable.

More importantly, they want to make it so that no small organization can host a service which threatens the cathedral. It used to be that one guy with a good idea could open a platform and be a Tom Anderson, Mark Zuckerberg, Tom Fulp, Christopher Poole, or Richard Kyanka. Take note these names are all from 10+ years ago. There are no new groundbreakers online anymore because breaking ground in the new Internet's corporate parking lot is not allowed.


I do not see a situation where the Kiwi Farms is simply allowed to operate. It will either become a fractured shell of itself, like 8chan, or jump between hosts and domain names like Daily Stormer.

I found this to be an interesting read.

I live abroad and recently have acquired 25 acres of land. I'm exceptionally interested in alternative building materials. Primarily because the only thing they used to build here is cinder blocks (or rather they're poor third world stand in).

I have to deal with typhoon winds twice a year and earthquakes. I have been exploring dome construction. I was very interested in monolithic domes. However the cost of acquiring skilled people to actually help do a build is limited.

I was just surveying the land, and remember geodesic domes. I am almost completely sold on using them as a greenhouse for my seedlings.

But that got me thinking about building a geodesic dome home. In steel frame construction. As I can have the pieces milled for very fair rate here.

Wondering if any of you have experience with this or general feedback.

Almost everything is censored. I'm just going to take 12 mg to see what happens. I've been sicker than a dog for 10 days and considering some sensitive stuff I'm to nervous to get added as a positive case.

I've only gotten to view portions of this briefly. I thought everyone might enjoy the entire thing.
