I'm fluent in C#, C++, C, Rust, Java, Python, and JavaScript, plus Sass/CSS, HTML, and SQL, although I'm not sure they count as full languages. I've also worked with Dart, Kotlin, Assembly (various flavors), Bash scripts, F#, Perl, and Lua.

I've probably done more but can't remember them all offhand.

Batman! NanaNanaNanaNana...

I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them, sam-I-am.

Do you think that your assertion, that they want to destroy the world around us in order to provide "value" to a small group of tech bros is at odds with the underlying philosophy of effective altruism? It seems like anyone who wanted to create the most good for the most people would be opposed to a future like that.

Do you really think that's what effective altruists want?

Quantum immortality

Highly recommend Inscryption. It's a fantasy-mystery-horror deck builder that turns into a surreal, recursive, experience. It's a masterpiece.

You can tell it’s shopped because of the pixels

It was right there in front of us the whole time.

I'm mainly concerned about:

1. Not losing data if one drive dies on me.
2. Fast reads
3. Easy plug and play expansion

Since I'll have 8 drives (or 6, if I use the smaller server, it would be nice if I could swap out one of them without losing data and add a larger one, which would then get used automatically. Is that something that RAID is good for?

I'm hesitant to set up backups because it's going to be a lot of data.

It would be. Unfortunately, I don't have that info.

I've worked with the protocol before, and there aren't a lot of parsing libraries - everyone is rolling their own in-house solution. Also, I wanted to do it in my language of choice lol

I've been writing a software library that parses a military communications standard. Every time I push updates I get a hundred or so downloads immediately, and I'm probably on a watchlist now, but the code is fun.

Accidentally replied to you instead of posting top level. Sorry.

It's nothing fancy. Just rooted, and I have fewer Google apps, use open source apps through FDroid when I can, etc. I've also paid it off and I'm trying to make it last as long as possible, although that's more of an experiment in being a cheap bastard than privacy.

Privacy.

I know I can't completely stop any large corporations from collecting or using data about me, but I pursue a stubborn, swiss-cheese/defense-in-depth strategy to reduce the data anyone has on me to a minimum.

This means I have a dumb t.v., don't pay for streaming services, don't like or subscribe to things, have a non-standard encrypted email, have a non-standard phone, computer, browser, don't use AI powered suggestions if at all possible, and on and on.

It means a lot of minor inconveniences, basically.

EDIT: I just realized this probably counts as tech. Oh well.

That pointing arms going to get tired.

I think the term is "lampshades" or something like that, rather than "hanging a lantern".
