Looks sweet and futuristic, but it wouldn't last a week over here in the states. Some dipshit would try crushing it with their lifted diesel pickup to compensate for their tiny pp.

But then again, that can be solved with a pair of concrete bollards. One on each side.

Mostly just the resilience and control. An outage or censorship incident on one node can be contained, isolated, and users can easily go around it.
"Oh no, my preferred instance went down!" switches to another instance with the exact same content

Also, I think some European governments run Mastodon servers for themselves. Which sounds weird, but makes more sense in an IT security context. Their data, stored on their servers, that they manage. No third party business contractors needed.

I would have dropped one of those ol' fart juice packets we had as kids and walked away.

Oh. Right. This one's being delegated to his son.

Knowing Trump's business track record, it'll be bankrupt before the end of his term, and earn the ire of every incumbent telecom and tech company with lobbyist money to spend.

Unless you're in a group of furries. Then it's either a poker face, or suggestive exclamations of OwO and UwU.

Not surprising. This sort of mismanagement tracks for a man who has bankrupted:

  • A shuttle company
  • Four casinos
  • Two hotels
  • A mortgage company
  • A steak brand
  • A travel agency
  • A university, and
  • A vodka brand

And this is just another reason for me to get a lowering kit with my slate truck. It both gets me a little closer to the sedan road height I'm already used to, and also incidentally prevents kids from being obscured.

I'll take an unplanned bonus any day.

Love to, but they usually come in pairs or more. Any plans for avoiding the subsequent retaliatory gunfire?

Cool idea, awful site design.

Seriously, how in the world did you manage to freeze a mobile browser... with plain ASCII text?!

I once drove that long to get to a convention.

Never. Again.

Just because you can drive for 12+ hours, doesn't mean you should. Next time I'm either planning two full days for that sort of driving, or taking a plane.
