I swear the friendly future I had hoped of as a kid in the 80s/90s was either all propaganda, hijacked, or we actually did end up in an alternate timeline of pure fuckery.

This is not the future I evangelized.

And yeah, those of us who grew up through it have seen the horrific turn of things have taken from potential world changing awesome humanity, to absolute evil.

In 2030 you will own nothing.

And you will be happy.

The rest is tracking data.

This had become my favorite end of the world song and I hate that I have a favorite end of the world song that is so on the nose.

I'm Canadian ans live near a fairly large US city.

I only use OTA and sites that sail the high seas.

My 20$ antenna gets me between 50 - 60 channels - weather and season dependent.

If/when OTA dies, my TV will never be used again.

That link for orbot doesn't go anywhere. At least for me. A bunch of qr codes - 3 of which 404. None get to a download.

The fdroid link 404s.

Anyway, here's the current release for android

https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/repo/orbot-latest.apk

If you run Linux you can run it - you don't need a dedicated server. You can config to your specs. See here https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/snowflake/

sudo apt install snowflake 

or snowflake-proxy for just the server On debian/Ubuntu.

Termux can run the proxy using the same command

pkg install snowflake-proxy

And here's the official site

https://snowflake.torproject.org/

Ironic, though, they don't use the snowflake widget on their own site

But you can just open this page in any browser https://snowflake.torproject.org/embed.html

Water to rinse once hit.

Lemon juice (on a rag or bandana as make shift mask) and milk (soothes).

Wear Layers of clothing. Remove contaminated.

Heavy gloves - leather. Canisters get VERY hot.

Stay upwind if possible. They'll try to move you with the wind.

Don't look up. Wear face obscuring and impact resistant glasses and mask.

No makeup or contact lenses. Chemical warfare will fuck that shit up.

Yes, I've done this before.

A couple short stories on the matter:

Is there a god? (Less than a page, but says it all)

Dwan Ev ceremoniously soldered the final connection with gold. The eyes of a dozen television cameras watched him and the subether bore throughout the universe a dozen pictures of what he was doing. He straightened and nodded to Dwar Reyn, then moved to a position beside the switch that would complete the contact when he threw it. The switch that would connect, all at once, all of the monster computing machines of all the populated planets in the universe -- ninety-six billion planets -- into the supercircuit that would connect them all into one supercalculator, one cybernetics machine that would combine all the knowledge of all the galaxies. Dwar Reyn spoke briefly to the watching and listening trillions. Then after a moment's silence he said, "Now, Dwar Ev." Dwar Ev threw the switch. There was a mighty hum, the surge of power from ninety-six billion planets. Lights flashed and quieted along the miles-long panel. Dwar Ev stepped back and drew a deep breath. "The honor of asking the first question is yours, Dwar Reyn." "Thank you," said Dwar Reyn. "It shall be a question which no single cybernetics machine has been able to answer." He turned to face the machine. "Is there a God?" The mighty voice answered without hesitation, without the clicking of a single relay. "Yes, now there is a God." Sudden fear flashed on the face of Dwar Ev. He leaped to grab the switch. A bolt of lightning from the cloudless sky struck him down and fused the switch shut.
