  • the article seems pretty partisan and populist. selectively chooses facts for discredit while omitting any admission of credibility. does not address the problems or issues with a proposed solution. lots of suspicion, unfair assumptions about motives, and irrelevantly keeps tieing back to the trump administration. the highly partisan angle seems to discredit arstechnica as an intelligent unpreferential information source for productive discussion.

  • i think climate would be one of the the biggest & obvious un-modifiable factor.if solo camping, then somewhere warm but not prone to extreme deadly heat spikes.assuming the west is undeveloped and rugged, then probably that. (based on the premise that the eastern half is overcrowded AND thats a bad thing(?))i would try to hit exurbs but be nearby civilization. else.. just be inside a city or near a friendly town.its extremely complicated to forsee from an armchair. would require testing,optionality, and careful decisionmaking(and research&valid+complete_data), plus low-stake trial&error(also risk assesment, risk mitigation, safety procedures).

  • purification straw is a must-have for any questionable water source

  • intended for an unrelated(independant) topic: i would estimate that americans average daily allocation for being in public is 1.25 hours.which is why i think alot of public space in cities are messed up, "IF you actually LIVE in them (not just drive past, from point A to point B . or spend all your time in the house/working/sleeping)from my experience, that one hour is probably in a privatized space. and there also possible distraction/competition from smartphones or music.

    the point im trying to argue: the streets are scary.. i get it. but if ppl only spend less than 1 hour a day in public, then essentially the streets become neglected anarchy space. its not suprising that the problem becomes a spiral. nobodys living, watching, or experiencing it.

  • i was thinking this would be related to ontology"What ontologies in both information science and philosophy have in common is the attempt to represent entities, including both objects and events, with all their interdependent properties and relations, according to a system of categories. In both fields, there is considerable work on problems of ontology engineering (e.g., Quine and Kripke in philosophy, Sowa and Guarino in information science),[5] and debates concerning to what extent normative ontology is possible (e.g., foundationalism and coherentism in philosophy, BFO and Cyc in artificial intelligence)."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology_(information_science)

  • slightly offtopic:

  • thats an interesting question.

  • ad hominem

  • good point. i did not realize that

  • commentary on the yggdrasil overlay network:

    Yggdrasil nodes are ordinary userspace routers that intentionally forward traffic for any peer that is reachable over the overlay.When a local node learns a route to an “Internet‑on‑ramp” (a peer that has a public IPv6 address or a NAT‑traversing tunnel), it adds that path to its routing table and advertises it to its other neighbors. Because every peer can act as a router, traffic from a device that has only a local peer‑to‑peer link can be carried through any other node that has a route to the wider Internet, even though that node is not on the same LAN.

    In the traditional Internet, routers are owned and operated by ISPs or autonomous systems that enforce policies such as “do not forward traffic for non‑customer addresses” and NAT/firewall rules that block arbitrary inbound forwarding. Ordinary end‑devices are not allowed to advertise themselves as routers for other users, so a local host cannot automatically use a neighbor’s Internet connection unless explicit forwarding (e.g., NAT, proxy, VPN) is configured.

    Yggdrasil’s design therefore differs in two key ways:

    1. Overlay routing is decentralized. Each node maintains a small routing table of reachable peers and, by default, will forward packets on behalf of any other node in the overlay

      .
    2. No ISP‑imposed forwarding policies. Because the overlay runs over arbitrary transports (TCP/TLS, QUIC, etc.) and all nodes are peers, there is no external authority that blocks or filters traffic‑forwarding decisions, allowing local peers to act as on‑ramps to the wider Internet.

    Consequently, a device on a local Yggdrasil LAN can reach the public Internet through any neighboring node that has an external path, while the conventional Internet prevents this kind of unrestricted peer‑to‑peer routing.

  • nssy

  • not gemini(protocol) .not lynx .

  • and we wonder why the USA has a tendency toward anti-science.

  • magic schoolbus FTW

  • join diaspora and only post to private aspects.better yet.. host your own server.otherwise.. someone is going to have to hurry up and design a more private platform.

  • how did you know where i live?!

  • corporations will always prioritize tax cuts and deregulation
