Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Bruh

The Great Firewall of America is beginning

Buy more Hard Drives, we're gonna need a lot more of those.

(I'm not a datahoarder myself, I only got like 2 1TB external SSDs and so far have like the wikipedia downloaded, idk what to download, honestly just too tired...)

Grab stuff from the internet archive, copies of shows, movies, and music. Anytime you catch yourself streaming something, download it instead.

Like something? Save it. You can always delete it later to free up space but there's no guarantee you'll get the chance to download it again.

You underestimate my laziness. I'll just rsync to a bigger and bigger drive each time.

For example, my phone's SD card currently stores some 12,754 files totalling 244.5GB. I really want a 1TB card. Storage is magic. The files always adjust to the media size.

I just always rsync everything over to a new card. And also copy the partition UUID because I don't remember which apps use it, plus I likely have a bunch of symlinks in Termux that would break. Oh, yes, Termux I copy over in the same manner of course.
I mean, I probably pointed them to ~/storage/card symlink, but I am not sure.

I did have to delete a bunch of stuff already though, DVD ISO files and baseband satellite signal recordings to replace them with Wikipedia and other zim files.
Preferably, I'd have all files on every device. That's the dream.

We're emulating that with a home server and a VPN to reach it when we're out of the house. Though, thanks to the magic of storage, it's been at 90% for a while..

Wikipedia's a good one. They might start fucking with that. I'd learn to use Tor as well if you're not familiar with it, just in case it's needed.

Any good guides?

how about the arch wiki?
