> "I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it."


yeah same here. I actually don't spend too much time on my phone and I feel pretty smug about it until I realise I just replace the smaller screen with the bigger one a lot of the time :<

I'm always telling every teacher at school that i spend less than 30 minutes on my phone, while i don't tell anybody i use my laptop for upp to 10h without noticing..

Just gave it a go, but I'm getting "That number is no longer in service", so there might be power/connectivity issues?


Whilst I don't think you're necessarily wrong, I would suggest Fusion festival in Germany to come close in terms of scale and dedication.


Yes but it’s a festival; with food vendors etc right? Very different from a city that builds itself from the ground.


Yes, there are food vendors and professional DJs etc, so it's not the same. But it's similar in the sense of dedication, creativity and DIY spirit.


I'd seen and enjoyed the film adaptation, didn't realise it was based on a book


Same with my Wipeout 3 disc


Wow, didn't know TF was developed in Melbourne RMIT! That's awesome.


Robin used to go by 'bro' and he was insanely good deathmatcher, also an LPB (low ping bastard) as the Uni of NSW/RMIT folks had decent net links unlike the rest of us plebs.


Damn, what did Mullvad do?


Founder and CEO funded a Swedish far right party. They stood for roughly 72% of what that party took in.

Mullvad has tried to paint it as, "this does not represent Mullvad the company, this is a private political donation" and stuff like that. I don't buy it. Funding Mullvad funds the CEOs.


Looks like lots of people (myself in Australia included) are getting the following error message:

"Account Temporarily Unavailable. Your account is currently unavailable due to a site issue. We expect this to be resolved shortly. Please try again in a few minutes."


Were the forums ever backed up anywhere? Given the quality of writing it'd be a shame if it didn't get archived.
