  • People are aguing about the reparability thing a lot. Current electric cars are less reparable, but that is by design. Car manufacturers are using electric as an excuse to make cars harder to repair. The reality is that electric motors and batteries are dead simple, they just add a bunch of techno bullshit to make them worse. Charging is bad right now, but that will improve with time, just like gas did when gas cars were new. I like cars, and hate seeing them being turned into what they are today, but there is nothing fundamentally different about electric cars to make them the piles of absolute garbage they are, (apart from battery technology not being great right now). 90% of the problems with electric cars are there by design, and I think everyone should buy a car that isn’t designed to suck, whether it’s gas, electric, steam, or fart powered.



  • I know i2p is a bit hard, but if you can figure out how to torrent you should be able to. I would recommend i2p+, which is a fork of i2p that is compatible with regular i2p but is easier to setup. Get the installer here: https://i2pplus.github.io/. If you are on linux, don’t worry about it being an exe, it is java and you can run it with “java -jar file.exe.” After that, you can open a browser and type localhost:7657. Set your proxy in your browser to localhost:4444, for the http and https settings. It may be different if you use chrome. Now you should be able to access tracker2.postman.i2p/. Don’t forget a slash at the end. Your browser won’t recognize it as a website without it. You will need the torrent client, i2psnark, which can be accessed on localhost:7657/i2psnark.

    This may sound complicated, but the steps to install i2p boil down to:

    1. Download installer
    2. Run installer
    3. Access i2p dashboard through browser
    4. Configure your browser to use i2p











  • You could buy a cheap vps and host your stuff there with basic html that you could learn as you go if you don’t know already. I think their are pre made licenses that you could put on there to stop ai training. You could also hide pages on it full of garbage data for anyone who ignores the license to get bad results.




  • Haven’t heard of private, but I would highly recommend airvpn. You could do qbittorrent nox on an old computer for good seeding. If you want I could elaborate on how, but I can’t right now.

    I wrote what’s before this before looking at private. It looks okay but they definitely make some false claims in their marketing that make me skeptical. They say their VPN can make connection faster than non-VPN, that is only true if being throttled or smthn weird. They say it hides your IP from your ISP, which is impossible. Your ISP loans you an IP, of course they know it. I know they mean it allows you to use an IP that your ISP doesn’t know, but they still said it wrong so… idk im rambling and tired but… yeah. Response.
