Rarely see this game mentioned in the wild. It’s fantastic. Anyone on the fence, get it. Nice to see folks weighing in here!

One of the OG eeepc is what got me into Linux. The distro it shipped with was ass (it was a Linux variant) so I went hopping and discovered Puppy Linux and a bunch of others. Ended up sticking with !# (crunchbang) which later renamed to BunsenLabs and I still run it on most of my devices to this day.

I’m not saying I believe they can do it, or that even they believe they can do it. I’m saying that’s the profit motive behind why they’re trying to develop humanoid robots. If any of them can be “the first” to making ones that can use tools and spaces designed for us, they’ll immediately get into “disrupting” labor markets etc.

I may get this half right as I’m not super hip to this stuff, but I have read that from a design and engineering standpoint humanoid robots are the least efficient possible whereas purpose-build robots (which typically look nothing like humanoid) are the obvious choice in most cases. Having said that, a lot of companies are chasing the humanoid form because they’ll be able to immediately adapt to existing infrastructure (to replace human workers). They’ll be able to occupy existing work spaces, use existing tools, etc etc. Which from a profitability/capitalism perspective is the goal.

The better these things get at doing general labor and even skilled tasks like harvesting crops, building houses, garbage collection, etc etc… the less jobs for the working class. Libertarians genuinely believe that AI and robotics will create a utopia but the self-same libertarian billionaire assholes will never stoop to paying taxes, or contributing to social safety net programs, etc etc. So for them robotics taking over as many labor markets as possible is a dream come true. They don’t give a flying fuck what happens to the rest of us. If we don’t have work, we don’t have money to participate in capitalism. They’re already outlawing homelessness and building concentration camps for the poor.

It’s a good time to re-read The Grapes Of Wrath in my opinion.

I think Colton Harris Moore is way past his era of stealing small planes and boats etc but for an instant reading this headline I imagined him back at it and creating more stories to tell. If you’ve never heard of the Barefoot Bandit do yourself a favor. Absolute legend.

Anyway. Hope everyone is fine.

Yeah I’m aware of that thread and participated in it at the time. I personally torrent on WS and I know lots of people do. I recommended it here because OP didn’t specify that they wanted to run a seedbox like that person in the thread you refer to was doing. If you keep it casual they’ll never notice you, afaict. WS is one of the few left that offer port forwarding is all I know for sure, which was what OP was asking about.

Having said that WS could’ve handled that shit better. I haven’t heard much since then.

Windscribe has split tunneling and port forwarding, but doesn’t directly host SOCKS5. You can however run a SOCKS server locally and the WS app will route if set up. https://windscribe.com/knowledge-base/articles/why-was-socks5-discontinued/
