A thing's not wrong because it's illegal, a thing is illegal because it's wrong.

I've never watched a TikTok video by choice or on purpose and even so, my consumption of them are sparse. Stop giving the government, no matter what side they're on, too much power. It's time to clip their wings.

Let's resist this cloaked, Trojan horse, censorship trap. Once they have banned TikTok, what guarantees do we have, that our favorite technology platform, wont be next? Fight this hard and let us send the power hungry in Washington, Brussels, London, Beijing, Moscow and New Delhi.

What is going on right now is a potential breach to weaken freedom of speech, expression and the right to be happy. Let's shut them down, please. Thank you. Just because I hate TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, Google, Apple and more, doesn't mean, they should be banned. Thank you.

That's if she's not nuked.

The conspiracy theorists are about to be right again folks, bank on it. Many of us, the people who hate democrats and lefties, have been poking fun at the recent photos being showcased in the many media propaganda rags, claiming to be, those of John Fetterman. As usual, we were just having some innocent fun, however, the reaction of the supposedly, objective media outlets seem extremely curious. They have begun, a series of alleged fact checks and have begun resorting to the usual character assassinations, of anyone daring to realize that Fetterman may suddenly have, some body doubles.

Just do any search right now about John Fetterman and see the curious results that will start popping up. It's almost as if, someone, in some deep state circles, have something to hide. Say what one will about the alleged conspiracy theorists, but they always seem to get the stories correct. Just give them a couple of weeks before all the confessions are made.

There have been much talk, mostly by self identified Nazis, mocking and condemning Christians, as mere lackeys of the Jews. They spew the most vile rhetoric denouncing them as, essentially, fools for having faith. Meanwhile, another condemned and ridiculed device, a book, which many call, the Bible, or the holy scriptures, it's words contained, seem to be coming to pass for the entirety of humanity to witness and behold. We are watching the big lies, of alleged devastating climate change, one world government saviours and we're seeing he control of many, by the ever tightening rules and roles of governments, internationally, as if by coordination, freezing and seizing, the assets of dissidents, whether, individuals, organizations or entire nations. Yet many pretend to not recognize the signs, that all these events have long been prophesied, several millennia ago.

One mentions all this, in the realization, that the governments of the world, particularly, in the collective west, seem to be purposely coordinating their efforts to bring about, beside a devastating world war, a one world collective, where the people have only the rights, liberties and freedoms which only the elitist bureaucrats and politicians decree. One can see it in the unison of their media entirely. They all seem, to curiously, regurgitate the same sound bites, the same talking points and inevitably, the same narratives. The also seem to be immensely hurried going about it too. As if they perceive themselves, to be quickly running out of time.

The democrats in the United States, although they seem to be well represented withing the many bureaucracies, along with their controlled opposition, the republicans in name only, have, until exactly, during the 2018 elections, been floundering at the polls. Indeed, the majority of counties and states are resoundingly not of their ilk and it was only a matter of time, before that political group, became the party solely of communist blacks, conmen, the mentally ill and criminals. So, it has always been, recognized that since the democrats couldn't win at the polls, they'd have to invent multiple schemes, that would inevitably, undermine the electoral process, with the ultimate aim being, somehow, holding office and power, without elections. Well, it seems that they have arrived with a winning strategy, indeed. They have decided that those days of doing the hard, grunt work, of campaigning, by rubbing shoulders with the electorate, pretending to listen carefully are just old fashioned and have no place in modern policy. Oh no, why go through all that trouble when they aren't beholden to the voters any longer? They don't have to do all that anymore, not when their patrons are wealthy globalists who have purchased them and elections can be rigged with the aid of the federal bureaucrats, their armed goons and all cheerfully sanctioned by the media and enforced by what is currently disguised as law enforcement. All one has to do, is look. How many elections, since 2016, have people seen, the tyrannical forces sponsored by their big moneyed bosses, won by not even venturing outside their safe comfort zones? Far too many for one's taste.

So now, after seven long years of the false claims of Russian interferences into US elections and Trump being a Putin Russian puppet, which we now understand why they were so panicked and steadfast, the forces of evil with their powerful rich global friends, have decided to abandon all caution. Indeed, it should be expected from the sorts of people, willing to engulf the planet into a global nuclear, biological, chemical and radiation war, to do such things. Things such as, issuing an arrest warrant for Russian president Vladimir Putin and the curiously timed news, that President Donald Trump have also been provoked with being arrest, perhaps as soon as this Tuesday. It is becoming very clear, that people who claim to want to protect the planet of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and flatulence seem perfectly willing to abandon all that, if they can't rule the world. They would rather prefer to see the whole thing burn down, if they can't have it. This type of behavior reminds one of those jilted people, dealing with unrequited loves, whom, upon realization of the inevitabilities of lasting relationships, prefer, to instead, kill themselves along with their supposed loves as well. Truly, the most craven form of cowardice.

Most people who “get” Gopher are already using it and instinctively understand why Gopher is still useful and handy. On the other hand, people who inhabit the Web generation after Gopher's decline only see Gopherspace as a prototype Web or a historical curiosity, not a world in its own right — and more to the point, being only such a “prototype,” there is the wide belief that Gopher plays no relevant role in today's Internet and is therefore unnecessary. This has led to many regrettable consequences, such as the neglect of servers and clients, or even active removal of support.

However, there is much to be gained from a heterogeneous network environment where there are multiple methods of information access, and while the Web will confidently remain the primary means of Internet information dissemination, there continues to be a role for Gopher-based resources even in this modern age. Gopher and the Web can, and should, continue to coexist.

The misconception that the modern renaissance of Gopherspace is simply a reaction to “Web overload” is unfortunately often repeated and, while superficially true, demonstrates a distinct lack of insight. From a purely interface perspective, there is no question that Gopher could be entirely “subsumed” under the Web (technical differences to be discussed presently). Very simple HTML menus and careful attention to hierarchy would yield an experience very much like a Gopher menu, and some have done exactly that as a deliberate protest against the sensory overload of modern Web 2.0.

Gopher, however, is more than a confederated affiliation of networks with goals of minimalism; rather, Gopher is a mind-set on making structure out of chaos. On the Web, even if such a group of confederated webmasters existed, it requires their active and willful participation to maintain such a hierarchical style and the seamlessness of that joint interface breaks down abruptly as soon as one leaves for another page. Within Gopherspace, all Gophers work the same way and all Gophers organize themselves around similar menus and interface conceits. It is not only easy and fast to create gopher content in this structured and organized way, it is mandatory by its nature. Resulting from this mandate is the ability for users to navigate every Gopher installation in the same way they navigated the one they came from, and the next one they will go to. Just like it had been envisioned by its creators, Gopher takes the strict hierarchical nature of a file tree or FTP and turns it into a friendlier format that still gives the fast and predictable responses that they would get by simply browsing their hard drive. As an important consequence, by divorcing interface from information, Gopher sites stand and shine on the strength of their content and not the glitz of their bling.

Furthermore, Gopher represents the ability to bring an interconnected browsing experience to low-computing-power environments. Rather than the expense of large hosting power and bandwidth, Gopher uses an inexpensive protocol to serve and a trivial menuing format to parse, making it cost-effective for both client and server. Gopher sites can be hosted and downloaded effectively on bandwidth-constrained networks such as dialup and even low-speed wireless, and clients require little more than a TCP stack and minimal client software to navigate them. In an environment where there are cries for “green computing” and “green data centres,” along with large-scale media attention on emerging technology markets in developing nations and the proliferation of wireless technology with limited CPU and memory, it is hypocritical to this author why an established protocol such as Gopher would be bypassed for continued reliance on inefficient programming paradigms and expensive protocols. Indeed, this sort of network doublethink has wrought large, unwieldy solutions such as WAP, a dramatic irony, since in the case of many low-power devices such as consumer mobile phones, the menu format used on them is nearly completely analogous to what Gopher already offered over a decade earlier. More to the point, few in that market segment support the breadth of WAP, and those that can simply use a regular Web browser instead.

Finally, if Web and gopher can coexist in the client's purview, they can also exist in the server's. HTML can be served by both gopher servers and web servers, or a Gopher menu can be clothed in CSS, translated to HTML, and given to a web browser (and in its native form to a Gopher client). This approach yields a natural and highly elegant consequence: if you don't want to choose strictly one way or the other to communicate to your users, choose neither and offer them both a structured low-bandwidth approach or a higher-bandwidth Web view, built from the same content. The precedent of a single serving solution offering both to both clients has been in existence since the early days of the Web with tools such as GN, and today with more modern implementations such as pygopherd. Gopher menus are so trivial to parse that they can easily be HTML-ified with simple scripts and act as the basis for both morphs; what's more, their data-oriented approach means they require little work to construct and maintain, and content creation in general becomes simple and quick with the interface step already taken care of. Plus, many servers easily generate dynamic gopher menus with built-in executable support, providing the interactive nature demanded by many modern applications while still fitting into Gopher's hierarchical format, and virtually all modern Gopher servers can aggregate links to Web content to forge bidirectional connections.

Modern Gopherspace represents the next and greatest way for alternative information access, and the new generation of Gopher maintainers demonstrate a marked grassroots desire for a purer way to get to high-quality resources. Not simply nostalgia for the “way it used to be,” modern Gopherspace is a distinctly different population than in the mid 1990s when it flourished, yet one on which modern services can still be found, from news and weather to search engines, personal pages, “phlogs” and file archives. It would be remiss to dismissively say Gopher was killed by the Web, when in fact the Web and Gopher can live in their distinct spheres and each contribute to the other. With the modern computing emphasis on interoperability, heterogeneity and economy, Gopher continues to offer much to the modern user, as well as in terms of content, accessibility and inexpensiveness. Even now clearly as second fiddle to the World Wide Web, Gopher still remains relevant. — Cameron Kaiser

The thought of grabbing another person's gun is already a futile option. It's as brilliant as trying to disarm any serious armed individual in a fight. The democrats and their fellow globalists hide behind the thinly veiled shield, of protecting people from gun violence, which is not the case at all. The gun grabbing democrats intent became clear, during the staged, organized riots of the year 2020, when armed citizens made it clear, that enough was enough. When Americans armed with rifles, capable of defending against multiple, marauding attackers began enforcing the law and the peace, the democrats saw, that their strategy of terror, against Americans needed to be altered, the must disarm us, terrorize us with their A.N.T.I.F.A / B.L.M and other community organized thugs, in order to crush our wills and resolves, so as, to bring us into compliance.

It's a clever strategy, for tyrants and men who desire to be left alone, to be free, easily see through the rouse of rhetoric, virtue signalling, lies and deception. The goal of the democrats and the fake republicans are the same as all our real enemies. It is the goal that is bent on weakening us. Whatever strengths that they identify, must be deprived from us, in order that they may win. We have to become less apathetic, more serious, and certainly more aware of their real motives and intent.

How ironic is it, that the very same people who insist that people farming, raising livestock, are killing the planet, causing climate disasters, are the very same people escalating a world war that threatens a fiery nuclear war? That the very same people who are actively trying to rid people of defending themselves effectively, are the ones spending billions for war weapons to murder even more masses? Also, have it not dawned on everyone, that the same groups calling everything that's good and true, white supremacy, the same people ignoring the crimes of black criminals across the land? How long will people remain to be blindly led? No one can now feign blindness and ignorance, many people are consciously culpable. Repentance is the action of recognizing our flaws, in thoughts and deeds and atoning for them through change. Anything less, is active compliance with those leading many astray and to the doorstep of war.

The more the establishment globalists try, to dissuade the many millions of people, that the 2020 elections and the ones that followed were rigged and fraudulent, the more the pattern begins to be revealed as to why it had to be done so as to bring us to this point. Prophecy is being played out, right in front of the eyes of many.

One realizes that there are many whom, put no credence in, what many believe are scriptures, however, many cultures have legends of the world being destroyed by a very long flood. Whether that flood was a metaphorical one or and actual one, it cannot be clear. Scientists, geologists and archaeologists suggest that some such occurrence may have happened, some time in man's past, however, what does that have to do with evil men and their lust for power and control?

There are so many pieces missing from our history as humans, if that is indeed, who we are. So many pieces missing, from our knowledge, so many unexplainable mysteries of our past. It's almost as if we have a collective form of amnesia. There are so many things, that we do not know and let's just ask, for arguments sake, if we did find out the answers, would we want to be free men afterwards, or would we wish to be slaves? It is obvious, by their very nature, that we can identify, beings on this planet, who would prefer that only they should be truly free and the rest of us must be controlled and regulated. Who indeed, appointed them our masters then?

Beliefs in scriptures, legends, myths or wild imaginings aside, there is a strong belief by many, that the first global calamity was caused by a flood and that the next one will be caused by a ravaging fire and this time the same people restricting, regulating and bent on controlling us, seem all too eager to let the whole thing burn if they cant be in charge of everything. Are these the types of people we should aspire to be around? I think not, I want them gone from my sight gone from history and hopefully they can be the first to go down in this cleansing with fire.

I'm a struggling hacker in training and by struggling, I mean struggling to grasp all that I have learned, understanding it all and retaining it. Indeed, I have so much stuff accumulated over the decades that I forget, at least temporarily, some of those things often enough, to alarm myself. For instance, I use the Profanity, XMPP client, and I was in a chat room, and I couldn't remember the command to leave the room. That's so bad and a demonstration of what I mean by forgetting stuff, since that particular command is close.

I'm like Kelly Bundy, from the TV series, “Married With Children.”, Kelly had a hard time being smart since the more knowledge she gained, she would lose the ones gained to accommodate the newly acquired ones. The point is I make plenty mistakes and sometimes I actually learn a lesson or two. While I know plenty of things, the things that I know nothing about, far outweigh and indeed, out mass any knowledge I could conceivably amass in ten lifetimes.

So I wrecked my Soapbox instance, again, I'm always fiddling with things I know very little or nothing about, I keep deluding myself that it's all for the learning. I've always been like that. I was always dude the destroyer. Only lately, I've begun to make a comeback at actually salvaging some of my misdeeds. I made several nightly backups too, and I still have them but I must have done something wrong because the backups didn't seem to take. I should go over the instructions a few more times to see what happened. Needless to say, I'm just happy that I can still recreate the site, even if I start from scratch. That's one of the reasons why I only run single user instances for now.

Oh and another things that I do suck at, but I'm striving to be better, is creating reverse proxy structures in Nginx. However, I've just started getting the hang of it and it's, like most things, once you know exactly what to do, then it seems so simple. However, I've been faking it until a few hours ago and I consider myself blessed, to have finally seen the light.

Well I hope that this entry, left you all still awake and as soon as I'm done posting this, I'll format the contents for my Gemini and perhaps my Gopher servers too. Oh, which reminds me, I'll have to change some entries in their configuration files to take account for the minor domain changes that I've made and I'll probably have to make some adjustments, therefore, no need to give their new addresses now, just yet. Since I'll have to make them up soon.

P.S. For those of you who aren't being punished enough, by reading my drivel and know how to access Gemini websites, my new Gemini link is: gemini://gemini.natehiggers.online. Now remember, this whole natehiggers.online, to me was a gag and I still think it's a funny play on words, fuck your feelings, however, I'm not going to renew that domain name for $35. I paid $5 for it initially, and if they'd charge me $5 for it every year, then I'd own it. So, come August, I'll have a new domain and all the sissies can start having their parties again. I'll keep everyone abreast on what that will be when the time comes. Thanks again, have a good day and enjoy your weekend. Caio.

What are the links between PayPal and papal?

It's a fairly innocuous observation, however, considering the facts that our enemies, revere symbolism, to include wordplay, presumably, one wonders, if indeed the connection between papal, which is a reference to the pope and all the significant history, power and symbolism which applies, had anything to do when the company PayPal was conceived and created.

It would be interesting to see if there are any visual clues or, for that matter, any evidence, no matter how cursory, which point in that direction. Obviously, we the conspiracy theorists of the world, are always on about this or that however, using symbolism is a great strategy to hide motivations and intentions, from all, in open view. Let's see how many visual clues or symbols, we may find from their logos, financial statements and business documents. One shouldn't be too surprised if one stumbles upon some funny pointy hats.

I no longer believe that the events of September 11, were the works of Muslims and terrorists. I think that it was just another in a series of psychological war tactics, used against the American people, specifically and the inhabitants of the world on a whole. One cannot at the same time, reject the media, politicians, the deep state, the neocons and the pundits as liars and deceivers, then pick and choose from the narratives the provided. Either we reject them or accept, them or, we chose another path, which is to objectively audit our own motives and seek the truth ourselves.

I also admit that, because of the attacks on September 11, 2001, the media and deep state narrative, I have revised my thoughts, about how I view Muslims, the media, the deep state, the uni party and the neocons. Remember, since then, because of the psyop programming used against us, we have given the government immense powers, under the guise that it's for our safety against 'terrorists' and now many of us that question any narrative that we don't agree with, we have become the terrorist now.

So, I'm going to drop my previous bias against Muslims and all the other people that the media, deep state, uni party and other intelligence operatives have been spoon feeding us. If we see now how they have been bending and manipulating the truth. Even people whom we have previously respected are now suspect. My caution is to hold back on the generalizations and become more objective on a case by case basis since we are in an information war and we must figure out the rules of engagement.

We must, because of what we know now about the narrative spinners and our own gullibility, prejudices and precognitions, that we cannot, any longer blindly accepts any premise, no matter how we wish them to be true, at face value any longer. We must question all the narratives now, everything we once believed must be sourced out and audited for faulty code writing and syntax. If we have been hacked, it's time for us to fix the code.

Thank you. I think that it is important for us to know our minds, communicate clearly, deliberately and become proactive in this new war in which we find ourselves. In the past we have merely, reacted to the narratives presented us, we can do better now we have more experience with the tactics of our enemies and we can now think our way through, to better solutions causing us to visualize and articulate our status more accurately.
