  • Is Citizenship Meant To Be A Joke?

    I’m obviously not a citizen of Australia, there are a few telltale signs to be able to tell you aren’t a citizen:

    • If you aren’t welcome in the army, you aren’t a citizen
    • If you aren’t welcome in the schools, you aren’t a citizen
    • If you aren’t welcome in the courts, you aren’t a citizen
    • If you aren’t welcome in the hospitals, you aren’t a citizen
    • If they treat you like shit then expect you to be grateful for it, you sure as hell are not their people

    Now, before my mum died – or, more accurately, before she was unwillingly killed by the Australian government – she told me she wanted to find a political solution to the issues that were preventing her (not to mention myself) from getting medical treatment. I’m not there yet, but I will not cease my efforts.

    She thought it was a problem with hospital jurisdictions between Australian states/territories that was preventing her from getting better treatment, I think it’s a problem with Australia at the federal level where they just are treating a lot of us as non-citizens but also are not helping us resolve our citizenships with origin countries. I think (quite obviously) that the Aboriginals are right and the Australian government is a criminal organisation which makes it’s profit from land stealing and human trafficking.

    So now what is the right way to deal with such an organisation? It would be criminal for me to follow their advice, likewise any opposition to them would be deemed criminal by themselves. So we can just rule out there being any obvious legal option and consider what is the most ethical way to deal with them? Well this government killed my mum so frankly – I don’t care.

    At the end of the day, I need a citizenship and they need to stop standing in my way or they will all be smacked down like the junkie pieces of shit they are.

  • I Guess Amazon Is Just For Israelis

    They don’t even seem to want Australia using their shit.

    I’ve already got a better hosting provider for my main site, I’m looking at maybe running download servers from Europe though to take advantage of better regulatory frameworks there. I still intend to keep supporting Black-owned businesses too of course.

  • Are Amazon Aware That Their EC2 Console Is Unusably Slow In Remote Areas?

    I mean if I was in a city I wouldn’t be buying this because I could just run my own servers, but it’s not a good look when you offer solutions that are meant to give us servers closer to the user than with traditional hosting and your console doesn’t even work outside of USA and Sydney.

    I need some extra servers for experimentation and testing software distribution, so I will probably continue using it if it loads but how is it getting slower every time I try?

    This isn’t even a problem with traditional hosting, other host configuration screens just load normally. EC2 is obviously doing more inside the console but the basics like deploying an instance are almost impossible to use.

  • BSD-Based Operating Systems Have A Lot Of Potential

    FreeBSD & OpenBSD both run incredibly well as stable desktops (provided you have some admin skills to set them up). I think the only real problem is that they’re still fairly deep in the open source politics where people have more ideological reasons to choose between Linux & BSD flavours, but the technology is great if you basically want “like Linux except stable”.

  • The SecureLang™ Graphics Stack Will Be Coming To FreeBSD

    Don’t expect too much, this will only be a simple alternative to X11 designed because of maintainability issues with the old project.

    It will be tested on my CleanFork builds and then either open sourced or distributed as binaries, there could be two versions.

    It won’t run as well as X11 on older devices, although it should run well and scale okay on multi-core machines. It’s not anywhere near as slow as Wayland on my devices, which is basically unusable for me, but it won’t be as fast on GPU-heavy backends. And it’s not entirely robust & bug free, but it basically works well enough for a simple desktop now.

    In other words this is a solution which is easy to build and port on modern machines, but is not competitive with more integrated solutions (the main use case will probably be running on top of native graphics stacks).

  • I Think “Enterprise Computing” Is Mostly A Scam

    The hardware looks nice, sure, but I don’t feel like these companies are considering actual business needs. Seems more like an industry running off government grants and not really injecting much value, although they originally did with things like UNIX.

  • 32-Bit Software Gains Utility When Supporting OR Moving Away From Old Hardware

    This is the ultimate reason I don’t think 32-bit support should be dumped. There will probably come a time when other people want to move off Intel/AMD hardware for security reasons or something else, and having a 32-bit stack suited for software emulation is probably the most seamless path – the newer software is probably already portable, and the older software effectively runs better now in 32-bit.

  • I Might Make Resolving These Issues A Focus In My Software

    I want everyone to feel like they are appreciated and have some home, that’s one reason I love osdev because you can be in your own system or you can be in someone else’s system or you can shop around, mix & match components.

    I’m also very cautious about releasing all of my own code though. A few people went really far out of their way to degrade me when I was writing my SL/RD kernel and a lot of it is good code (other parts need improvement) but I’m not going to open myself up to more disrespect by giving all the code away for free in an unfinished state. It was a very personal project for me, I wanted to show my mum the finished product when I’d replaced all the old code but I wasn’t able to finish it in time. I honestly did not ask anyone if they thought I was personally a loser though, I was just hoping to get some feedback about the product or suggestions of ideas.

    The level of criticism I received from some people while trying to finish the kernel was extraordinary. Though others were supportive, working on projects that aren’t finished yet seems to just really trigger some people and they started making up all sorts of other shit about how I was spending that time.

    So I don’t know the ultimate solution, I can’t really turn someone else’s OS into a political project – or maybe I can I guess, according to the license.

    Maybe I can kind of make a mini distro for everyone though, as in different distros for different interest groups.

  • I Genuinely Do Not Understand Australia

    They have never sent anyone here to explain this shit. I mean I think I’m the people who were meant to explain this shit and we didn’t even get a memo.

  • I Wish Someone Could Explain Australia’s Bullshit Citizenship System

    Do they claim me as a citizen?

    Yes or no?

    I haven’t been able to get a straight answer out of anyone at the government. My guess is they initially considered me a citizen then cancelled it when they realised I was Egyptian and never told me or my mother. So I’m still on their files for Centrelink purposes and when registering business stuff but am not really considered eligible when I try to go to something like a doctor’s appointment or any kind of recruitment centre here.
