You know, it wasn't always like this

Not very long ago, just before your time
Right before the towers fell, circa '99
This was catalogs, travel blogs, a chatroom or two
We set our sights and spent our nights waiting
For you, you, insatiable you
Mommy let you use her iPad, you were barely two
And it did all the things we designed it to do
Now, look at you, oh, ha, look at you
You, you, unstoppable, watchable
Your time is now, your inside's out, honey, how you grew
And if we stick together, who knows what we'll do?
It was always the plan
to put the world in your hand

~ Bo Burnham

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.

I think the happy comes with the unsaid "or else"

You be happy or you be soylent.

In 2030 you will own nothing.

And you will be happy.

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.
