  • I think it is hilarious that the viewpoints laid out in one of your own theory sources would seem to be off limits as “anti-vegan” discourse.

    https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-veganism-is-a-consumer-activity

    “As an ideology, veganism fails to understand capitalism and ecology. It is incontestable that to save animals and the planet, capitalism must be abolished. Emphasizing the dubious power of consumer choices sabotages the fight against capitalism and ecocide. Existing as consumers, which is a role involuntarily imposed on all of us, is not compatible with nature, and in the long run the vegan diet is not the same as an ecological diet. The most important factors are not the presence or absence of meat, but if the food is local, and if it is sustainably produced. Today, only a limited number of people can achieve this lifestyle. The point is not to be one of those people, it is to abolish capitalism and develop ecological perspectives within anti-capitalist movements (and anti-capitalist perspectives within ecological movements, which are not one in the same only because of short-sightedness in each movement).”

    This is such a severe critique of veganism that it actually implies that being vegan is to have entirely lost the plot from a socialist perspective… which would seem to me as an argument against veganism entirely…

    This doesn’t give me confidence that the author of this proposal has a consistent worldview, or really understands the implications of the proposal as presented. It seems purely reactionary, likely a reaction to being criticized or (more charitably) to being trolled.



  • I have seen 6 port minipcs like this one https://cwwkpc.com/products/mini-pc-firewall-c6 so number of ports is not an issue as long as you are prepared to pay for it. I think you’ll find more ports with similar keywords (industrial, firewall, fanless, etc).

    My setup, which I think works well, is to have OPNsense on the miniPC as router/firewall, and separate WiFi APs. This setup has lasted me around 5 years now and will probably last as long as OPNsense and openWRT (for my APs) had decent support for my hardware. Well worth the money and effort in my opinion, and separating the router/firewall from the AP allows you much more flexibility.







  • Even “in universe” content might be a way to bridge revenue between ME and the next franchise if they’ve run out of ideas. Star Wars has made an insanely successful business taking “background” characters or events and expanding on them. To be honest in my opinion those constitute some of the best Star Wars IP, whereas attempts to return to the “main storyline” (Jedi vs Sith) kinda suck.

    Personally I’d love to see a deeper dive into Cerberus. Depending on your ME3 crew comp and romance options they sometimes just didn’t seem very relevant to the endgame, or really have much purpose other than the storytelling device used to justify Shepherd still being alive.

    Even a look into the previous experiences of the crew would be cool, which is fairly simple given they were all given relatively rich backstory to fill out dialogue.

    But I 100% agree the main story should end, especially after Andromeda already provided a look into the future of the Galaxy post-Reapers.
