Check your local library for many WW2 historical accounts of the french resistance. Madam Fourcades secret war, Virginia Hill are a couple of my favorites.

Also memoirs from FBI and CIA agents, and anything on SOE, Churchills "Special Operations Executive" division which had as its objective to defeat the Germans covertly in Nazi occupied France, which he started because he wanted more results than the old school tie boys in traditional British intelligence.

For that matter accounts of the beginnings of the American CIA in WW2 are interesting too.

On all these, enough time has passed that there aren't national security concerns any more, technology changes but the principles are always the same. Interesting reading and you can learn a lot, especially how networks are penetrated and how spies were caught.

Proud to be the first upvote of this particularly delicious advice.

Sorry you got jumped on as a new user a bit.

The karma system on reddit encourages posting and reposting stuff that everyone has seen before to get fake internet points, and maybe what you win is a “more powerful account” for the algorithm instead of everyone getting a more or less equal voice.

You can still get people to follow you and build a tribe if you want without that, and you are also free to start any community you like, so a few mods don’t end up controlling all the online real estate and steer the conversation unfairly.

Plus its simpler. Sometimes simple is good.

1846 historical account by Francis Parkman called "The Oregon Trail", narrated by Frank Muller. Francis was around 24 at the time and as a white male, certainly was influenced by the prevailing views of his time, but lived, feasted and hunted with Native Americans and directly observed their culture. He captures an era of American History in a unique way.

Plus, it isn't so good that you can't fall asleep. +8, would definitely do again.

Purely anecdotal but I was in Costa Rica in September of 2020. I was struck by the difference and better preparedness compared to the US.

Every store and place of business had not only signs and hand sanitizer at the entrance, nobody was in stores without masks, and I drove by a line of people over half a mile long and 3-4 people deep, of people waiting in line for hours to get vaccinated.

The taxi driver told me there was some program to provide vaccines to CR and what he did was stay in line and hold the place for his family for awhile and then they would wait in line allowing him to work for awhile. Overall they took public safety measures much more seriously than the US, but I was in a wealthier urban area, don't know how it was in the rural areas.

Having to constantly find new hiding places for the blood chalice, and keeping up with all the latest scanning methods so you can develop countermeasures. Your secret is never truly safe.

Until you eat your vegetables, they are just hopeful intentions

 

I went to Craigslist in my local area for the first time in awhile. I used to like “best of” Craigslist because some of them were great, there still are some, but its just not the same. A community I used to visit had about half the number of posts as I remember, and of jobs and things for sale, I would say roughly half the posts are just bottom feeding companies autoposting one post a day.

Is Craigslist going to be another web 1.0 app that just dies off? Is it the same in your area?

Craig himself is long since retired from doing stuff and they never seemed to be interested in working with other apps because most of them just scrape and don’t add value to CL, but the Fediverse can, if there was a filter for the spam. What do you think?

Content never really dies, it's just recycled to lower and lower tiers.

NASA remotely reprogramming Voyager 1 also means that aliens can reprogram all of our satellites.
