 That's a good point! I didn't realize that. I figured there was an option for
 LAN connections? If so, you can create a virtual LAN using Hamachi or
 something. Does Hamachi still exist?

 I know you don't want to hear this, but there is a chance that there will come
 a time where your life depends on your ability to debug a computer without the
 internet. To set up an SSH server. To install Linux. To program in C. To do
 something else that I'm not prepared for... If StackOverflow didn't exist
 because network connectivity has been lost, could you remember syntax? Maybe
 it's a good idea to set up a local LLM that can answer basic questions about
 technology. Maybe it's a good idea to set up on your parents computer, just in
 case you have to hide out there for a couple months. Maybe it's a good idea to
 download wikipedia, just in case.

 if you can do ethernet instead of usb, this might work:
 
 https://pine64.com/product/star64-model-a-8gb-single-board-computer/
 
 it's got two ethernet ports.
top-down picture of the board left-right oriented top-down picture of the board angular and isometric perspective of the USB ports and power input and switch isometric side-view of the hdmi output, ethernet ports, and audio out. wait this one's the D/C input, and the other one on the previous picture is the audio output channel.

 users don't want to have to think about encryption keys.
 
 they should be available for them if they need them, in like... a folder or

 more friction like that keeps people away from being secure.

 apparently you can use network sockets for inter-process communication if you
 just set the network to your home and the ports that are set to the defaults
 that people who know what software you use will know to listen on when they've
 hacked any single device on your network. good thing that data is with the
 router, right?

 clearly the positive addresses point toward a location in "memory", while the
 negative values point toward "forgotten" which is a secret second place that
 they don't want you to know about.

 why would I want other people using my computer? They don't know how to use my
 computer! They might break something or mess something up or automatically
 read/edit my files that are stored in standard locations through the usage of
 a script which automagically scans and ransomwares machines on the internet
 who store their files in specific standardized locations! no thank you.

 why not just reduce the number of ping checks to see if they're still

 do it in a random color each time! Here's my implementation for viewing txt
 files colorfully:
some bash computer code which first picks a random color, and if the color is a bad combination (like, black front and black back, meaning you can't see the lines of the letters) then it redoes it and tries to pick a better one randomly. It'll keep trying until it gets a correct combination but honestly there's only like one or two bad ones that don't look so great

 visualization of what a person's doing to be roughly equivalent to
 full-body-tracking in VR? I want to see if I can make it work for VR (with

 doom is like sand thrown on a fire.
 
 don't spread it unless you are intentional about it. sometimes it's good to
 smother fires. other times it's cathartic. that's okay.
 
 but keep in mind the future goals. where are we trying to get to in the near
 future? work towards that. your emotions are fuel, not despair to wallow in.

 it makes it difficult to connect with them.
 
 I find that people like that need a different context, if you want to connect,
 so that you can see them in a new light.
 
 if they're still ":(" then you can't waste your energy on them - they are
 working on themselves. At least, they should be.
