Oh, this will be very useful. My current solution is incredibly hacky, I run an unauthenticated SSH server on the Kindle (key-based wasn't working), port scan to find it, and SFTP new files. At home, at least, I have a static IP. The whole system falls apart enough that I usually just connect to calibre's remote server and send books that way, though. I wonder what the battery impact of running tailscale on a Kindle is.
My coworkers are shocked and confused that I own/use a sewing machine and see at as some legacy old timey thing. It's true that you certainly don't need to own one anymore and you won't save any money making your own clothes. But you can modify and make loads of custom cool stuff that are impossible to buy new.
I've got a few things I made that just bring a lot of joy knowing it's the exact thing I wanted which you can't buy, and couldn't justify paying someone else to make either.
Right now the solution that makes the most sense to me is intentional communities. If anyone reading this has experience living in one, I'd love to chat. Email is in profile.
I think you might be mistaking the "thin blue line" concept with the "blue / all lives matter" in this case, thin blue line is neither new nor newly popular with BLM.
Certainly more popular since then; probably swept along by "blue lives matter". Have you seen that black-and-blue version of the American flag, with, what is it, six or seven blue stripes (or lines)? How old is that?
> I got the distinct feeling that she really died and that I was just in a very long dream in which she survived, and that I would wake up very soon to a world of sorrow.
This is how I've felt every time a friend has tried and failed to commit suicide. I'm so sorry.
Similar story to you with non-celiac gluten sensitivity: I was having disabling flank pain for months, but after ruling out a couple things they shrugged and gave me an IBS diagnosis and a prescription for a drug with bad long-term side effects. Someone suggested cutting out gluten, which I tried and the pain went away. Intentional and unintentional reintroduction of gluten leads to the pain coming back within a few hours.
if not for the work requirement, at 80gb you could likely do what I do: use syncthing to make there be a full copy of the files on your phone. I've got a media terminal, my laptop, and my phone each keeping each other up to date. it's never broken or been frustrating. it works offline perfectly.
Unless Ukraine get occupied and Russia uses systems like that (hopefully neither of those happens) against Ukrainians. There will be a small chance that most of the people will even care about that (even if they hear about that). Part of that is that the mainstream media will not stop talking about how evil this is vs the -almost- complete silence about that now.
Hell even your comment and mine have great chances of being flagged to death soon.
Ukraine is my pet war. Nobody cares about either it or Gaza outside a narrow slice of the already-tiny minority that pay attention to foreign affairs. In fact, one of the worst ways to get positive attention for a foreign-policy item is to complain about how it isn’t getting attention—that’s stuff you use to rile up the base.

I grew up in Seattle, but I currently live a few hundred km from the russian invasion of Ukraine.
Today, a boy who has my first name, his mother, and grandmother were killed by a russian attack on their apartment. [0] This is pure terrorism, by definition. This is an everyday occurrence for the last three years.
While I do get emotional about what is happening in Ukraine, my main concern is about my immediate family in Seattle.
I am convinced that The West's de-escalation policy in Ukraine has led to what will become the greatest hit to nuclear non-proliferation, ever.
Russia could have been easily defeated in first part of the war, instead, we "de-escalated." This proved to any one of our theoretical allies that any country threatened by their neighbors should get nukes to defend themselves asap.
This made my Seattle family less safe, and was a mistake. This naive wavering has made all citizens of the USA less safe. </rant>
I wonder how well a system like this would work in other conflicts. Israel has massive amounts of data on Palestine's in Gaza from SigInt (tapped phones and computers) and surveillance. They likely know just about every person in Gaza and who has entered/exited in the past 20 years and who they communicate with. Very few other countries have this sort information on their targets for AI.
