Yes, you can install OpenWRT or OpnSense on a Raspberry Pi. If you don't want to replace your current OS on the Pi, you'll have to manually work with iptables (if you use linux) or pf (if you use BSD).

The lines between the boxes would represent network connections, i.e. ethernet connections. WiFi would work the same way.

(slight repetition:) the reason you'd use a firewall external to your PC is that it makes it impossible for any application to 'bypass' it since it doesn't actually know it is there. There are of course no guarantees as no software is perfect and firewalls are software too. But it's a whole lot closer to actually doing what you want it to than some random desktop application.

Technically you could also add a second interface on your computer and give it the option to completely bypass the firewall but that only helps if you can restrict your application of choice to only go out the firewalled interface.

In the new example, the Firewall has two network interfaces, but technically it can be done with only 1 interface if you have a network switch with VLAN support. For a Raspberry Pi you'd need a USB-Ethernet adapter for that second interface.

For OpnSense there are many examples; i.e. last year's release on a Pi 3: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=14875.60

You can also run the latest release and a different Pi, i.e. a 4B. NanoPi works too.

OpenWRT has manuals too: https://openwrt.org/toh/raspberry_pi_foundation/raspberry_pi
I do wish that "climate change" was not lumped into every environmental concern. For example, if painting one of the blades black on a windmill means the birds don't fly into it and die, then let's do it! Connecting it to a larger climate battle in order to win that war ("See wind power doesn't have that downside anymore, so more wind power to fight climate change") only gets in the way of solving the immediate problem.

And a large fraction of fashion items are made out of advertising; that is, the value proposition of displaying a branded item comes from the web of associations generated and maintained amongst your social group by the fashion brand's advertising efforts, which will in turn be associated with you by exhibiting the item.

This means that it is actually possible to not be affected by advertising and still use fashion items, on the theory that everyone else is affected by advertising and the effect you want is to leverage that effect.

I'm sure the most fashionable people are aware of this since they need to parse the fine distinctions of brand associations to maximize their desired effects. Ironically I think they may be the least affected by the advertising even while becoming the strongest real world advocates.

Do you track your sleep using a wearable devise such as an Oura ring, Fitbit or Apple Watch? I was suffering from very similar fatigue issues last year and found that although I was spending sufficient time in bed I was not achieving good sleep quality. I managed to address these problems and I've never felt better. Happy to share what worked for me if that is of interest to you.

Consider what this does to opinion and independent thinking.

Most attention grabbing platforms are designed to use a variety of reward mechanisns to reinforce the politics of the platform.

Some easily botted platforms (like reddit) will constantly bombard people with anti-civilizational content promoting "anti-work" or very toxic identity politics that further isolates the users, and, in turn, strengthens their addiction to reddit because they will have no friends or family.

I wonder if the platforms are complicit in this or if they are passively incompetent and this terribleness is just being exacerbated by foreign adversaries trying to poison western dialogues and minds.

Sounds like they started showing you different kind of content. I never got into Instagram because I'm just not into the kind of content that gets published there. Not arguing that content presentation isn't a factor here, but I would argue it's the content that's addicting and even if you remove the suggestion algorithms and just did social sharing/recommendations you'd still end up with similar results - viral stuff got shared in chats/groups/mail chains/etc. now it gets served up to your feed directly.

Not saying suggestion algorithms don't improve the experience if they work, but I wouldn't really attribute that much value to them, ultimately we have an industry of influencers trying to create content that will grab your attention.

There are multiple interpretations here.

For example, if those disabilities are due to long COVID, then that would indicate that the cure is indeed not worse than the problem itself, but rather that the problem is even worse than we thought.

Why is the total deaths up? Are cancer deaths going up because the system is stressed by COVID? Are the people who are dying people who had COVID, or people who didn't?

Are people dying because they have more stress and less exercise? Are people dying because of the restrictions due to the pandemic? Are people dying because they have lost their job and no longer have access to health care? Are people dying because of hidden effects of a vaccine? Are people dying because social isolation causes follow-on problems?

That's not even to talk about Fentanyl and meth addiction, as mentioned above, which seems to be a confounding factor that started before COVID.

Perhaps there is a complex interaction of issues that will lead everyone to their own interpretation.

This data doesn't tell us any of those things. And it certainly doesn't say, one way or the other, if the cure was worse than the disease, or even what cure we are talking about.
I’ve read the article - I don’t see where it specifies the cause of the reported deaths.

I interpreted it as deaths caused by Covid. Do you have a reason to interpret it differently?
Fair enough. But she continued to use “British English” when describing RP. And the same with “American English” instead of General American. These “generic” accents have names just like the more regional/stronger accents. It would have been proper to at least mention their names.

It is better to ask how many times do you exercise per week. I.e. somebody who exercises 30 minutes 6 days a week is better off than someone who exercises once for 3 hours.

I exercise daily because otherwise it's too easy to start skipping. This way you know that you have to exercise and have to plan for it. (I have a home gym, which I built, lucky enough, pre-covid)
I've been contemplating building a large-ish shed but I'm stuck on the foundation. It's New England so inevitably the structure will sink into the ground without a foundation, but I don't want a permanent foundation. Clearly it would be ideal to have a grid of supports underneath the shed with adjustable height (maybe using some sort of threaded mechanism), and make it possible to adjust those risers automatically through some sort of self-leveling like what a 3D printer does. But of course now I will never actually build this :-)
Probably this is assets under management, not yearly sales or net income.

"cryptocurrencies are revolutionary" is a statement that needs proof, not blind belief.
More transparency around algorithmically prioritized newsfeeds seem like an obvious place to start. According to what little insight we have they’re mostly prioritized for “engagement” which in some cases has intentionally come at the cost of people’s moods (according facebook’s own internal reporting).

Large companies have psychology/sociology experts working on this stuff in favor of the respective companies, but any consumer advocacy on the same level is hampered by lack of access and lack of funding.

For sure they are inspirations, as well as the Oberon OS and Jef Raskin's "Humane Interface".

I think the $100bn number does not refer to the company revenue. According to the company, in 2016 revenue was close to $2bn [1]. It may instead refer to total assets under administration (which was $74bn in 2016, according to the same source).

I use a walking treadmill with a standing desk, and during the work week I use it 4 or 5 hours a day at 2 miles per hour.

My lug muscles are pretty insane compared to the rest of me, and I can eat what I want without gaining weight. The biggest advantage is that it keeps me more awake during mundane tasks, though if I have something mentally challenging to work on it can be a distraction.

> a computer doesn't make the same kind of mistakes that a human does

I think this is particularly problematic because with other humans, we can at least develop a sense of what types of mistakes they tend to make and try to adjust our driving accordingly. Things like not driving in another person's blind-spot, etc. but also more subtle stuff. I feel like there a sort of hive-mind that develops amongst drivers and probably makes things safer than they would otherwise be.
Very true. I think I appreciate heat, light and trees much more as a result of shed building. You can also add electricity to this list.
So how do you interpret it?

My interpretation is that this guy runs an insurance company who insures working age people through their employers. That is the source of the data, so he is missing data on elderly people

Yet he makes a claim that the people he does not have data on are dying at a lower rate than the people he does have data on. This makes no sense, as you can't make a comparison when you simply don't have data on the group you're comparing against

Which (speaking as a southern-accented Brit in the US) has hilarious results when you’re trying to order in a US restaurant and you try to clarify by pronouncing ‘properly’.

Brit: “I’d like some uo-uh please”

American Server: “I’m sorry, could you repeat that?”

Brit: “Sorry. Uo-tuh please.”

Server: blank face

Helpful nearby American: “WADDER”

Most of the time the southern British accent is pretty comprehensible to Americans (we have more distinct vowels, the missing ‘r’s just make us sound like we’re from Boston and the glottal stops aren’t too important), but the word ‘water’ when you drop the t and the r and aspirate the w basically turns into a mush of unfamiliar diphthongs to an American ear.
"Took a lift" is a stretch for American English. We'd say "got a lift" for getting a car ride. If someone said that phrase to me I'd assume they're speaking British English and adjust my comprehension accordingly.
We're talking a system which had to be told by the courts that if the law requires to give somebody notice that the process to revoke citizenship was initiated, it can't count "we put the papers in their internal Home Office file" as "delivery of notice".

We're talking the system of the Windrush scandal, which only after intense pressure cost the Home secretary her job, and which two following holders of the position haven't managed to actually effectively implement the measures promised to attempt to fix the damage done.

Strong skepticism is sadly warranted.

It's a literary construction, emphasizing that the 40% increase is not an observation about elderly people.

It's not intended to be taken alone as a statement about the elderly.
Both of these things can be true.

What if this is a moral panic like prohibition or the red scare more than like comic books. Was American drinking culture in the early 1900s insane and were there soviet spies in the 1950s? Actually yes, and that doesn't justify McCarthy or make Prohibition a good idea.

And this is the challenge. How do we respond proportionately without going "OMG THINK OF THE CHILDREN" or blending the actual problems with our other phobias?
> In today’s startup environment, raising money might be easy

I hear this a lot, but it seems like it's only true for people in specific geographic locations, who are well connected, and willing to pretend their problem benefits from blockchain or ML.

I scratch my head in confusion wondering how some of the VC funded start ups I see got millions of dollars for vague and likely unprofitable ideas. Meanwhile, my software company has an established customer base, has set up contracts that practically guarantee 10x growth in the next two years, and our options for funding that growth are effectively bank loans or working longer hours. At the same time, our VC funded competitors have spent millions of dollars just on office space, and have 15 times our development staff. The world seems absurd at times.
Well, there is the Wikipedia article [1] but even there most of what it mentions could be considered hearsay, so I'll go with a couple others:

- 4chan's /pol/ board straight up doesn't show up. It's easy to directly go to a board by writing "4chan" and the correspondent letters, /pol/ is censored from the results though, this is most probably political in nature since even /b/ shows up.

- The "substitute" for the r/The_Donald subreddit at communities.win is similarly unreachable.

Yes, this. Humans as a race have evolved to be able to short-cut our own motivational and behavioural control systems. Or more precisely, for one group to manipulate anothers' motivators to serve the interests of the manipulator rather than the party served by those factors.

Wants are a means to an end. They are not the end itself. That is, wants are evolutionarily-derived (or sometimes culturally-instilled) drives or motivators which should result in improved fitness.

Think of these in terms of emotional drives, tastes and our responses to them, favouring aesthetics (symmetry, balance, smoothness, etc.) Those evolved in an environment which was itself not counterevolving to feed those drives faster than they could emerge.

That's not to say that there isn't co-evolution occurring: fruits, say, evolve to be sweet to attract animals which will eat it and spread seeds. But *there is no "fruit sector" specifically engineering high-sugar fruits with a response cycle of days or weeks or months. Even human breeders typically take years or decades, and natural selection generally takes much longer.

Motivators evolved to find things in the environment which improved overall fitness.

"Give them what they want" is engineering rapidly to appeal to psychological behaviours in ways that exploit them specifically to the interests of the engineer. (Or more likely: the investors / shareholders / VC behind them.)

If you're gaming the want itself directly, you lose the argument that what you're providing is at the choice of the target, because you've coopted that choice to your own interests.

He also mentioned courage:

Clearly I don't care that much, which is why it took me 10 years to ask the question... I know it's just internet points, etc etc. I guess when I see someone saying something that I absolutely know is objectively wrong, I would like to show my disapproval without sitting down and actually fleshing out a response. I'm not the best at putting my thoughts into keystrokes (this little response took me a good 30 minutes to write).

Also (sidenote) I don't love how I had to scroll through a bunch of comments to find this response, or even to know that you responded to me. I wish there was some "notification" or something that let me know that you cared enough to take the time to reply to my comment.
Maybe a little off topic, but I would buy live bugs. Chickens love bugs. I currently have my eye on a freeze dryer. Freeze dried eggs maintain up to 97% of their nutritional value and taste for 25 years if an apocalypse is really a concern. My chickens will live long healthy happy lives. Freeze dried foods take up very little space.

But no, I am not buying bug-food for myself. There are too many unknowns which we barely scratched the surface on here already. [1] I am fairly certain I speak for all the people I know IRL as well.

It’s a mixed bag there; a lot of despair can come from being forced to be around people who you don’t like. Working from home has definitely given me a new perspective and I don’t dread working the way I used to. To paraphrase Sartre, sometimes hell is other people.
