You'd better get a backup working before you need it.

I use afraid.org to reach the DDNS on my home network.  They have hundreds of domains.

spdns.org is German - so... yeah... I suppose if they get a complaint about hosting a "hate site," they'll probably shut me down. 

Afraid.org, huh? What I'd like is a "fuck you, we support freedom of speech," DDNS provider in the Netherlands. 

Wikipedia refers to any platform, registrar, etc. that doesn't buckle to SJW pressure as "supporting white supremacists".

Any platform, registrar, etc. that doesn't buckle to SJW pressure is "supporting white supremacists" to the political Left.

Which is hilarious since the left are the white supremacists.  I don't know anyone on the right who thinks that white people are inherently better off than black people simply by virtue of their skin, but that's exactly the premise of "white privilege".

Yeah, righties have no concept of racially appropriate behavior at all. Morality is all there is, and it applies to everyone. Lefties have rules for how people with X skin should treat people with Y skin which is different from Y to Z or X to Z. I think it's gross. 

It is the Hierarchy of Oppressed Groups Handbook. For example, while black men are oppressed by whites - straight black men have a culture of sexism and homophobia that is troubling to the political Left - and they plan on fixing it. That is why Kevin Hart was made an example of. It is interesting that African-Americans have a culture of anti-Semitic attitudes and beliefs too - but that never gets mentioned - because Jews are a very special class of Oppressed Group. They're very convenient to have around and on your side when you're accusing the political right of being fascists - but the entire nation of Israel is an obstacle to the Left and their alliance with the Middle East and Islam. 


So, just best to ignore that for now.

Free Association was always the last room to die out on the old Citadel BBSes when they were drying up, too. Kinda of funny, kind of sad. :) 

I'm still here. I just don't know post every day. I'm really enjoying the conversations here and try to contribute when I'm not the last commenter and have any idea what you all are talking about. Sometimes even when I don't, heh. 

I've been thinking a lot about human instinct and what we're accomplishing right now. As some of you know, I'm keenly interested in ancient technology and anthrolopogy in general. I've supposed in the past that our histories of traveling through the stars may be more real than metaphorical because, well, traveling through the stars is something humans do. We had such a strong urge to get to the moon that the first modern ideology to accomplish it is now the default ideology of modern nations across the globe.

We also have a strong history of magic. Fairy tales are literally ubiquitous. And here we are making magic real because, well, making magic real is something humans do. I just saw a picture of a white-haired Chinese man with 30 smartphones mounted in an array on his handlebars. He was playing Pokemon Go on all of them. You can sell a decent Pokemon Go account to the children of the Chinese overclass for $20-1000. This dude is catching will-o-the-wisps for the king's children. In real life, though.

Agreed. 

Five years ago I fulfilled a Kickstarter for a product I invented. I jumped right into a second Kickstarter that was way over my head while simultaneously launching a business. One or the other project might have been doable but together it was too much and while it was adventurous and fascinating to be my own boss (and ten other people's) it wasn't sustainable. 

Well, the implosion of my little kingdom seems to have saddled me with some executive dysfunction. I had some loose ends to tie off... For Five Years. But I stayed up til 5am this morning knocking out a few of them and it's weird but I feel less intimidated by my lengthy to-do list. I live a big life with a lot of responsibilities, and feeling like I can actually be effective again is restoring some of my natural intrepid nature. 

This is basically the opposite of a rant, so I'm posting it here instead of the rants room. 

The best small businesses combine leaders with complementary skill sets.  The person with the big vision is often not the same person who knows how to execute, or the person who knows finance.  Combine those people and you've got a dynamite startup.

I need to be more attentive to my own BBS, as well as Uncensored. I've been busy. Sorry. :(

Yeah, building future ventures is going to be a lot more personnel-focused. The public loved the product. I couldn't staff the PAX West convention booth enough to keep up with demand. "We're gonna need a bigger booth." But the supply chain management, cash management, event logistics... I needed more help than I even knew how to ask for. But this is one very thorough way to learn an important lesson, and I hope it worked.

I heard the DDNS was borked with secure.wallofhate.com but it looks like it is working now. 

I'm just impressed with how well you've gotten this site to run using nothing more than a Pi.

Thanks. I figure at some point I'll probably throw a Pi 4 and your newest version at it. I've been running Citadels on systems not quite suitable to run a Citadel for a few decades now, though... I guess it is my gift! :D 

Ghost town... 

been busy with work and two versions of World of Warcraft and three Dungeons and Dragons games.
