Having your own private bathroom is a really underrated perk of WFH. There are of course many more benefits to WFH, but using your own bathroom is something no office and their disgusting communal bathrooms could ever compete with.

You also have a private bathroom! Extremely good reason to never work in an office.

Do you have a link to this? I looked on their site and Sourceforge but didn't see anything about it.

The problem is that Warp is closed source, requires a log in, has extensive telemetry, promised to go open source but never did and has raised 78M from VCs including 50M from Sequoia, the FTX people.

There's a really great Youtube channel that covers indigenous American history called Ancient Americas:

https://www.youtube.com/@AncientAmericas

It does a ton of really great deep dives into pre-Columbian and native cultures. I agree with you that there's a lot to learn and an unrecognized degree of influence on our day to day lives (corn and potatoes being two examples).

> Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I understand, passively listening on DHT would only mean you build up a list of infohashes of everything shared on BitTorrent. You'd actually have to reach out to your DHT peers to know what files the infohashes actually represents.

Yes, you're correct! I should have stated that, you still need to resolve the metadata from the peers that have the infohashed files hosted. That's a separate operation from downloading the file's content.

It works well in practice. The DHT protocol includes announce messages that broadcast when new files are shared on BitTorrent. It then includes a "geometric" way to find people who are sharing those files. It doesn't include the files themselves, just the torrents which include a file list and location hashes.

If you listen to BitTorrent's DHT network, you'll build an index of everything shared on BitTorrent (over time), this will include commercial movies and such.

I agree. It's also worth noting that Hitler himself was inspired by the US Jim Crow laws and history of violent racism. He used it as a model for his own ethnic cleansing. So for a long time Nazis and the US have had a symbiotic relationship.

Anyone interested in this should learn about Operation Paperclip:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip

The US recruited Nazi leadership into science and intelligence positions directly leading to human experimentation like MKULTRA.

This is considered the definitive book on the subject:

I'll buy that, there are certainly small local mountains out there you can find. I don't know that I'd say the skiing is "great" (or even worth moving for) but they do exist.

It may not be popular to say on this site, but there is an issue with living in places like that though... if you're not white, it's going to be really rough going for you, even in "blue" states. I say this as a non-white person who grew up in rural America. The racism is off the charts, you will experience it in every facet of your life, which is really unfortunate because there are a lot of beautiful rural locations in this country that would otherwise be inhabitable if it weren't for that major issue.
