I had the same thought. Got an older laptop laying around and might try to fiddle with it.

The issue that arises for me is electricity cost. A smartphone doesn’t have a fan and I trimmed for efficiency, unlike many other devices.

What do you want to use the cluster for?

Define „safety“ before you do anything. Nobody here can tell you how to check how safe you are because there’s no info on you, your situation, environment, threat level, etc Do you live in a place where there are severe repercussions for stating a mere opinion?

What is your stance toward the place and political system you are situated in and family status?

These are all things only you can know and shouldn’t leak here obviously.

Are you paranoid? are you a minority and concerned for yourself and your people in said system?

Maybe write down what you want to protect and what you feel is at risk, then take according steps.

There are certainly better ways to learn about this than my comment, just trying to inspire.

I will get downvoted for leaking a critical stance on this: this is an obscure internetforum - just know that if you are a pedophile and you consume (morally) illegal Video material: there so many of these people on the internet that official organisation can’t fight all of them. You are safer than you might feel.

Your body underwent the same evolutionary pressures as everybody else’s.

You might have reduce carbs step by step.

To be honest I don’t eat 0-carb diet because I like the taste of carbs. Keto-diet revolves around around 0-carb, you might find better info there than I can give you

Ignorant device advice that at least helped me and is logical: increase maritine omega-3 fatty acid intake. Increase soft vegetable intake. Reduce carbohydrate intake (bread, wheat, sugar)

The goal: reduce inflammatory load on digestive system, so it can regenerate enough to build healthy slime film.

I only learned recently that the food should not have direct contact to skin in the digestive system, but lay on slime that is produced and maintained by the mucus skin itself.

In the mucus live bacteria. The mucus serves as buffer for bacteria to survive between meals. The bacteria can eat away the mucus if not enough healthy food comes in. Food and lifestyle are deciding factors for gut health = mucus health = healthy bacteria.

It’s basically [mucus adding food (and behavior)] vs [mucus subtracting food (and behavior)].

The natural movement of the body is essential for healthy digestion. Don’t eat too late.

Addition: I think this is how it works: Healthy bacteria take up the niche in the gut, they themselves produce short-chain fatty acids! Which get absorbed by the body.

Healthy food -> healthy bacteria -> regeneration of mucus skin -> healthy mucus -> healthy bacteria -> etc.

If the mucus film is destroyed or weak the body increases inflammation to fight invaders. The mucus is the deciding barrier between food and skin. If the mucus is compromised there is no „Lebensraum“ niche of living for healthy bacteria. All this is not a 0/1 state thing.

EAT. YOUR. VEGETABLEEEEEEEEEEEEES. (I like mache, arugula, Brokkoli)

The broader and diverse the different cultures are the more stable and protecting the gut and the whole body is.

More health opens opportunities for more health. Less health increases risk for other health risks because the body is less capable of adapting.

Quality leather with quality stitching. It will last you so long you get bored of it.

I can access it. Don’t know about download tho bro

I have not seen ads on the fediverse, yet.

Any source of ads will get blocked by me as soon as I see it.

If ads were fixed into the experience of the fediverse I would not use it.

I would think most other fedi users have a similar view.

I think most instance hosts do this for ideological reasons.

Use water to cool down and move, don’t try to depend on other people. If you know somebody you can ask them. But don’t make it a requirement if they say no.

It’s your life!

(You didn’t interrupt me, I don’t know what you are writing about.)

(I will be the ignorant asshole for those who want to interpret my comment like that.)

I’ve been in a very similar situation. If you want my advice: change something, anything in your life.

Gain a new perspective. The change doesn’t have to be for the “better”, neutral change is good, too. “Breaking free” is the goal. Getting rid of stiff patterns.

Maybe start with something you can do inside, like calisthenics without any tools. For example push ups with knees touching the floor or just move in one spot as fast as you can until you are out of breath - FEELING YOURSELF is the goal and doing something different than usual.

You have to know that what you have experienced over these last 8 years would change everybody who had to endure it, autistic or not.

Let me tell you, once you try new things you will gain confidence in your self and your abilities to DO shit. That’s called “perceived self efficacy” (or so).

The more you do something new or foreign, the easier new and foreign things will be in the future.

You are responsible for your life. Being autistic, and having endured these last years are part of your own, personal battle of life.

Everybody fights their battle. You fight yours. The fact that you feel very low right now is part of Your battle.

You don’t give off retarded vibes.

You can win.

Edit: Have you ever shaved your head? Try it. Feel what is different. Do you grow a beard?shave it, just to feel a small change.

Do you have some form of mental health counselling, therapy or similar? You can certainly look it up, and call them.

If the autism is a handicap you can only judge yourself. I don’t mean to be judgemental. Whatever feels difficult is part of your battle.

Are u dangerous

Insane, eye-opening read. Thank you

This is the pattern. Acquisition. Cost optimization. Quality decline. Warranty narrowing. Brand equity extraction. And eventually, divestiture.

It happened to your backpack. The same playbook is running right now on your power tools, your boots, your sunglasses, and about a dozen other product categories where a company you trusted quietly got absorbed by a corporation you’ve never heard of.
