Jeg skulle så ønske at folk utforsker andre dimensjoner oftere for å pushe hva vi vet om universet vårt.

Yes. what is consciousness? We have this brain of ours that magically converts information into what we experience as some three dimensional space. Plus time, I guess.

A world building machine. A Supercomputer. But why just 3 dimensions? And why, through psychedelia, do we experience reality/realities that is different. Something else.

I really hope science finds a connection. I really hope intelligent life already exists, and it's here, all around, and we just don't know how to communicate with quantum realms yet. Or hyperspace. Or whatever lingo.

Ahh, what a time to live, the singularity, internet, identity, decentralization, open information flow. It's a time i've been longing for since childhood. Something's happening, finally (mostly new perspectives through self improvement). Looking very forward to joining a super shared consciousness everything. If it exists.

Link dump for cool brainfuck:

After moving to linux main, WinSCP was no longer an option for an easy one-way-sync to backup my phone media.

I spent hours scanning google/stackoverflow/superuser for a better solution, but in the end I opted for a solution based on discussions with GPT-4.

LFTP

The solution was simple; lftp let's you mirror files with wildcard patterns. So this new script solved my problem perfectly:

#!/bin/bash

# FTP credentials
HOST='10.0.0.1'
USER=''
PASS=''
PORT=21

# Remote directory to start from
REMOTE_DIR='/'

# Local directory where you want to store files
LOCAL_DIR='/home/stig/Phonesync'

# Directories to exclude
EXCLUDE_DIRS=('android','Android','emulated','self','cache','_media','LOST.DIR','ANRSnap','Alarms','AzRecorderFree','Cardboard','Notifications','Podcasts','Ringtones','TTImages_cache','airdroid','caustic')

# File patterns to include
INCLUDE_PATTERNS=('*.jpg' '*.jpeg' '*.png' '*.mp4' '*.webm' '*.pdf' '*.txt')

# Build the exclusion arguments for each directory in the list
EXCLUDE_ARGS=()
for DIR in "${EXCLUDE_DIRS[@]}"; do
EXCLUDE_ARGS+=("--exclude-glob */${DIR}/*")
done

# Build the inclusion arguments for each pattern in the list
INCLUDE_ARGS=()
for PATTERN in "${INCLUDE_PATTERNS[@]}"; do
INCLUDE_ARGS+=("--include-glob ${PATTERN}")
done

# Start building the lftp command
LFTP_COMMAND="
set ftp:ssl-allow no;
set ftp:list-options -a;
set net:timeout 30;
set net:max-retries 2;
set net:reconnect-interval-base 5;
open ftp://$HOST:$PORT;
lcd $LOCAL_DIR;
cd $REMOTE_DIR;
mirror --verbose --use-pget-n=8 --parallel=8 --only-newer"

# Add the include and exclude arguments to the lftp command
for INCLUDE_ARG in "${INCLUDE_ARGS[@]}"; do
LFTP_COMMAND+=" $INCLUDE_ARG"
done

for EXCLUDE_ARG in "${EXCLUDE_ARGS[@]}"; do
LFTP_COMMAND+=" $EXCLUDE_ARG"
done

# Finalize and execute the lftp command
LFTP_COMMAND+=" . ; bye"

lftp -u $USER,$PASS -e "$LFTP_COMMAND"

echo "phonesync done"

I wonder when humans are gonna stop doing machine work. I see all these humans doing repetative work.

I so look forward to the shift/time where two/three things happen:

1. people en masse realise that a computer or AI can and should do it for them
2. businesses realise that creating utility and tools creates more in the end (by using step 1 of course)
3. people escape from the "must work because.." mentality, and can instead "do work because.."

No idea how/if we'll get there, though.

Finally I purged all disks and installed linux as full main.

I've battled with windows and WSL enough.

I'm finally free. Thank you, me.

Went through the linux distro rabbit hole, I tried to like Ubuntu 22/23 with GNOME, and drooled a bit for Arch, but after "feeling it out" I fell softly back on Ubutu/KDE and loving life. Because I can do everything I want with my computer now, what a crazy concept.

Reminded me of the #1 bug report on ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1

Ironically I actually tried to upgrade to Win11 first, which was 10 hours of the typical Microsoft strife; "your computer is ok for win11" and "oh, you cannot install win11, and there's no information of why".

Again, I'm finally free. Probably +100 mental health increase also.
