In my experience you’re describing loneliness and perhaps depression. These are not easy things to overcome, but they are universal.

Our society is well equipped to deal with broken bones, much less than its ability to mend hearts and minds.

Walking and sunlight are relatively easy circuit breakers, talking might be a little harder to find, but asking here is a good start.

If you have the financial means or employer support, it can be extremely helpful to speak with a psychologist, but just like plumbers, there are bad ones, good ones and great ones, so don’t hesitate to try a few different people on for size.

Reacting in anger gets easier the more you do it, the same is true for reacting with grace, but you have to practise to get better at it. Take an extra breath before opening your mouth is one way to get started.

Finally, find fun, watch a flashmob or a funny song on YouTube, dance, be silly. It’s hard to be angry whilst you’re smiling.

Good luck.

This is an interesting approach that needs wide exposure.

OpenSSL?

Part of me wants to know if the author has deliberately set up the time to make it so anyone trying this would start their year very disappointed, but this is the internet, that would never happen … right?

So far the Wayland implementation requires embedded X11 which puts everything in the same environment again.

I’ve not yet discovered how to run separate Wayland screens across the network from a Docker container and I’m also not sure if either Chrome or Firefox actually support native Wayland, from memory they didn’t last time I checked.

I don’t know. When I built this, several years ago, none of that existed.

This is true.

However, I’m running trusted software, not the backyard efforts of someone randomly selected off the internet.

Additionally, the Docker container is running on a dedicated Debian virtual machine with only Docker installed.

What’s of deeper concern is that all instances are running on X11 which means that they all share information via the clipboard for example.

Disclaimer: I used Steam once.

Has anyone done any research into the quality of these 18,000 titles? What kind of uptake there is, how many purchases/downloads, etc. ?

That’s precisely what I do.

Excluding Chrome, Firefox and Safari means that you are now relying on some random developer to understand security and privacy and as a software developer for over 40 years I can tell you that this is a fools errand.

Don’t get me wrong, the big three absolutely have privacy issues, but they can be mitigated in many different ways without compromising on security.

For example, you can force DNS requests to one of your choosing, you can run them in incognito mode, refuse cookies, run them inside user accounts without personal information, etc.

I tend to run individual instances of a browser in incognito mode and am very conscious of which tabs are open in which instance, so websites cannot steal information from other tabs.

Moving air is the best way to remove liquid. Place it in front of a fan instead of putting it in rice.

What was the state of the capacitors on the circuit board, since those are generally the first to go.

I wonder how long it will take before the majority of them ends up in landfill.

If you’re going to ignore physics, you can decide specifically what the impact will be.

The most people live in the southern hemisphere, India and China. August is winter here.

Radio waves are the same as light, so if radio stopped working the way you envisage, light would too.

Electricity, electronics and electrons are deeply connected with radio waves, so anything electronic would likely cease to function.

Any flying plane with fly by wire would likely crash, traditional linkage type planes would need to land because their engines would cease to operate.

Helicopters would probably auto rotate to an immediate landing.

People would likely starve pretty rapidly, since society is built around electricity.

The phenomenon most like what you describe is called an EMP, Electro Magnetic Pulse.

Gotta say, the level of innovation and quality at Apple appears to be on a very steep decline.

On Sunday 16th March 2025 (the last day prior to the Act taking effect) I will delete the virtual servers hosting LFGSS and other communities, and effectively immediately end the approximately 300 small communities that I run, and the few large communities such as LFGSS.

That’s interesting, I didn’t know that.

Minimum expense to you is YouTube, but your videos will be their product which is fine for some use cases.

There are fediverse video platforms, but their longevity is not guaranteed.

You could host your video content on AWS S3 and have it mirrored by the Wayback archive. There is a cost to hosting on S3, but it’s not massive.

I use S3 for my audio podcasts and import them into YouTube, it’s available on archive.org
