Pseudo-intellectual, quasi-scientific, narcissist muddlehead. Same nastiness as served on Twitter/@mcurie. Follow at your own risk.
The problem with #mastodon for me. Conversations few and far between.
I like the idea behind Zima Board (https://www.zimaboard.com). Been looking for gear to setup my personal #cloud #storage, which is in my own control and is 'co-located'.
Only problem, Zima Board is from China. (But then most of our devices are, too).
ZimaBoard - World's First Hackable Single Board Server

ZimaBoard is world's first hackable single board server. It is a hybird of micro server and SBC (single board computer). It's designed for building a low cost NAS, media server, and software router as your home automation and entertainment center.

Why @pluralistic 's Craphound resonates with me:
Sort of Craphound myself. Still have an old drawing (stick figures) by Little Devil, in which he imagined me sleeping in an autonomous vehicle on the move 😁. And the bead earstuds that were dad's first gift to mom.
Hanging onto and craving for (supposedly) useless things just for their sentimental value.
Here's the Gutenberg link to Craphound http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/17026

@histoftech That is cute! But will give you more eye strain than a normal TV.
Apart from being a #scifi fan, I am also a #history nut. I love @Fall_of_Civ_Pod podcasts by @PaulMMCooper

@LaserMistress I want that cloak!
@[email protected] @annaleen cool! What's the best of her work that you'd recommend to a first-timer?
@[email protected] mine are Cory Doctorow, Jayant Narlikar, and (rather predictable) Isaac Asimov.
Going to look up Annalee Newitz.
@[email protected] that's why you invite others and take turn posting 😁.
SciFi thread club of sorts.
