God Emperor of Mastodon (new account)

This is my new, future account. While most interaction still happen on the bsd.cafe one, I aim to migrate fully here.

I am posting mostly culture, emacs, bsd and anti-ai based ramblings. I don't curse and I try not bait people into pointless anger rages.

I am a nerd (or dork? I don't know), a software engineer and I started to hate what technology has bacame.

I live in Poland; no one cares about it 😉

    @michal A fair point. My switch to Usenet happened after my ISP blocked me due to use of torrents. My immediate thought was, "You're watching my traffic?!" So I got a VPN, then found that torrents start in Usenet, that nzb's are a list of usenet post id's with all the parts of a file, and that my usenet provider (NOT my ISP) permitted multiple parallel downloads.

    So that plus the VPN actually made the whole process much _faster_ than torrent. I almost sent a thank-you note to the isp. ;)
