True.

And putin owns trump.

its very questionable ethically to be doxing some private information here about somebody.
we have no way of knowing or understanding if this should really be here.
its lawless.

Does this help?

Trump is a walking pile of shit.

i was just understanding, how important it is to not source scripts in bash. as a general rule.

to run subshells as default.

its a tree.

the process tree.

and scripts, run, independently.

to not create a giant blob which is my current terminal shell script.

so obvious.. now.

And why cant paper printers just print em papers by burning the paper slightly.
There, an inkless printer.
How useful is that.

Printers would be a lot more useful if their material would be readily available around the world.

Maybe sand.
If a printer could take 1 gram of sand.
Melt it a tiny bit.
and place it.
in 3d.

repeat... 1000 times and u have some glass sculpture.

and regarding boeing.
i always think of airbus,
when they had made the a380,
and didnt make it easy for airport to edit their ports to accommodate for the a380.
that was a fatal mistake that to me seemed like they didnt quite understand the importance of the feedback loop.

nobody is going to buy a plane that cant land anywhere.
or just, in a few select locations.

and no airport is going to bother spending tons of money being able to adopt an airplane,
that might not have any future anyways.

if they had made it a no brainer for the big airports of the world to acommodate it.
its usefulness would have increased and they would have started seeing more sales.

which would make an argument for even more airports acommodating it.
and the feedback loop starts.

its always always always.
about the feedback loop.

life is nothing but a giant feedback loop.
be it up or down.

Its in the manufacturers short term interest.
for its printer to be printing with material
only they or their partners can make.
and is then sold expensively.

so its in their short term interest.
to kill their own future.

I used to teach at a school.
We bought an expensive 3d printer.
It was nice and all.

But what really bothered me,
was that the printing material was very expensive.

I am absolutely convinced, that the manufacturers,
cannot make a bigger mistake, than to make the printing material expensive.

They should go the opposite route.
Make using their products super easy and effective.
Make using their printer a no-brainer.

Every time people print.
They are advertising the printer.

Whoever is doing the 3d printing,
is getting to know that printer.
Learning how to use it
Getting used to using it.
Getting ideas on how to use it further.

Nobody wants a printer that can barely be used anyways.

The manufacturers were doing the cash-it-in-and-run.. approach.
But they should have been doing the, take-over-the-universe.. approach.

Which is to make their products absolutely awesome.

People will see how the world is, eventually.

And 3d printing really should be done in some specialized offices.
A place with a 3d printer.
And some individual who knows how to operate it.

And people just go on a website,

And send a file and press "print"

And result can be delivered in the mail.

Prefereably via drone.

An office like that could provide the world with 3d printing abilities.

Could eventually offer the world to print in any material etc.
You just draw it in some program.
Select material.
Press print.
Few days later, its in your mailbox.

How is that not a win.

And user could watch on camera as their unit is being printed.

And why dont we have automated drone delivery yet.
Whats taking so long.

But it seems to take forever to take off.
This 3d printing thing.
Like everything.

One-way-ish is the way

I read the case for mars so many times back in the 20th century. One core thing i feel.

We really should find people, which are ok with going one-way-ish to Mars.
Meaning without a current plan to send them back in any near future.

To counteract it, there will be, a plan to colonize the planet.
To make Mars like another Earth.
And precisely because we are making wise decisions like this one, its a plan likely to come to fruition.

It is just so ridiculously counter productive, to spend enormous amount of resources, to... not have our people on Mars anymore.

We´d be spending most of the mission resources on.. not being there.

And going back is super dangerous as well.

And sending them back in the near term does not, boost the security of the colony there.

Its like.. come on.

One way.
And after 20 years, we can start talking about it.

But you´re probably not going to be interested. Things will be happening on Mars like crazy.

If we can find people who will accept that.

Just, we are adding zeros to the effectiveness of the mission.

And if they just want to go back anyways,
why are they even going there to begin with.
Just dont go.

We could pay them handsomely using a fraction of the savings.

How would I go about doing that?

I just wanna share some dreams.
Always dreaming.

The rpi5.
https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry … 2414431617

This cooling can be used only passively as well.
https://thepihut.com/products/argon-thr … berry-pi-5
Better to turn the computer on the side with this for the ventilation is horizontal.
Which fits when i think about it for the rpi is.. horizontal.

And with 2x500gb ssd. Good for backup making.
https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/nvme … 4434961491

Then by catting all the files into one big file, and then obfuscating it using this library i found.
Can all be done by just running a bash function.
Makes the response time of the website, super fast.
Plus low load on the server, for that same reason.

Then there is some possibility of Poe, power over ethernet.
Then the lan cable would be power as well.
Meaning, super clean setup.
Only one cable, lan cable.
Except for the one from the backup battery.
And thats just a cable for one of the rpi's for its just an information cable.
But there are some complexities involved with poe and im not sure if its worth it.

Then theres more but enough about that for now.

Yeah let me know if I can help.

htaccess sounds like apache.
i abandoned apache a long time ago for nginx.
and did not regret that.

nginx has much more understandable configuration setup system.
and also, every request is served by creating only a thread, not an entire process like apache does.

So nginx is much better at dealing with sudden traffic peaks.

so.. no, havent dealt with htaccess apache configuration files for 15 years.
am still having nightmares about it.
almost.
