Had mine for over 20 years until it disappeared. Years later still no idea what happened to it. Only issue I had with it was the clock it had, broke halfway through owning it.

Ideas are easy. If you find the secret to sustainable implementation let me know.

Unraid (you pay for how many disks you have in your array, you can get the unlimited one for like $119 - would have to double-check but it's around 100 bucks, it's not subscription-based, so once you buy it you have it for good). Been using it for years, it's great and is pretty easy to set up. If you have any questions let me know. They're constantly improving it.

Nazis are allowed a space to hang out

I said people you disagree with. I also stated I don't understand what is meant by "Nazis", I feel you're projecting an awful lot. The word Nazi doesn't even mean anything anymore. Maybe it means something to you personally, but what is in your mind has nothing to do with me. It's funny going into what I guess is quite an "echo chamber" and get accused and name-called and told to shut up. For what, exactly? So you consider yourself a tolerant person? If you are unable to tolerate anyone who doesn't subscribe to the exact same thoughts as yourself then I suspect the answer is no. Why don't you try basing arguments off actual merit, rather than leaping to your hail Mary Nazi shut down line. If you open your mind a little bit, I mean really, actually open it up to everything, I'm sure you'll find your anger start to subside. I'm sorry you feel the way you do, and again, I wish you all the best.

I think your comment is the best take I've read so far. I agree wholeheartedly. As soon as I read it I thought of when I used to play WoW. Many alts I created similar to this. Having a fresh character, but something new without all the complications that came with being a higher level, more useless "responsibilities" with no real pay off. Because in the end it was still just a game. You may not fully see the connection, just know I understand where you're coming from in my own way. Thanks for sharing.

Nobody likes to be made to feel stupid. A person without knowledge isn't stupid on the face of it, they're just a person without knowledge. I think the moment you start insulting someone the argument or whatever is already over at that point. At that point it's not a discussion it's the beginning of a mud slinging match.

Haha I think 4chan is a completely different beast. I'm seeing quite differing opinions on the thread, which is cool. It's enlightening to see how people think about issues like this. I can see how both sides hold merit. Though in a way I disagree on simply telling people they're wrong. I feel you can't reason a person out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. In my experience, it's much more effective to ask people questions and maybe they begin to see, or not, it's out of my control at that point.

Sometimes it feels like a bandwagon. I'm sure a lot of the time people mindlessly downvote instinctually or are more likely to based simply on the existing score.

Never heard of Beehaw, I'll check it out. And yes, the chilling effect is a real thing, unfortunately. Sorry to hear you've felt that way about posting.

 

I 'upvote' more or less all posts I interact with (sometimes I forget to vote). I feel like we should bring back open dialogues and heavily dissuade people from simply disregarding someone's entire belief system or ideals based on 200 characters of text (an example).

Think about one person in your life who you first thought was a complete asshole and once you got to know them they were pretty cool, maybe you became best friends with them. The point is, judging a person based on a minute snippet in time is a fool's errand, and your own state of mind contributes a lot to your own judgement of people. Your next thought might be, well they have a history of x, y AND z, so they deserve every bit of judgement coming their way! I would ask you, why? Are you not simply fueling further hatred, vitriol and division? So instead of stopping for a moment and thinking about the world from someone else's perspective, you'd rather just spit out some more hatred and move on like that person doesn't exist?

I would love to see some solution to the shitty state of the Internet. I only say Internet because for the most part this doesn't happen in real life in my experience. I think it has to do with consequences and social sigma and so on. I reckon it would be pretty awesome if there was something like the following:

  • all upvotes are free range, people can give out upvotes like they were candy
  • downvotes come at a "cost", whereby if you want to downvote someone you have to reply directly to them with some justification, say minimum number of characters, words, etc.

In an ideal world, and setup, this would help raise positivity in the world and have people at the very least have a second thought before being negative.

Yes I understand there would be flaws, I've worked with and used computers for a long time, I know. I chose not to delve deep into those as I feel that would defeat the purpose of the message I'm trying to convey. And, you know, lead by example.

What do ya'll think? Any suggestions to boost positivity in the world, I'm all ears, smash them and any other thoughts in the comments.

Do you actively seek this stuff out, or are you perhaps misrepresenting the extent? I browse the Internet everyday and have so for many many years, yet oddly enough I don't manage to stumble across this type of content I see people complaining about.

 

Yes, now it looks like frankenshelf. Adds character. What do you think?
