The adventure starts at the fringes of society.

It is the story of rural life in Paris with a wanderer who’s also a thinker. Indeed special case. It makes its way through the highs and lows of an unemployed person in Paris and later in London. The friendships, the conversations, and the conditions - It’s all there.

The memoir of experiences in the saddening (and sometimes exciting) environment of poverty.

I highly recommend this special book!

It truly sucks. but seeing decentralized/open-source projects - Lemmy, I2P/TOR, Linux, etc. warms my heart. It helps me see there’s truth out there and pushes me forward down this path.

He is a bit slow, but he builds it up. I'm now reading "Down and Out in Paris and London" by him also. it's also seems slow, but fun and interesting.

 

I don't really know how to write this one as I am not really one of those who report on books.

Just wanna say to y'all who didn't read the book you should really go get it. It tells the story of a very dark world, where each uniqueness of our world is exaggerated and shaded, where all is inspected, monitored and controlled by a central authority. a centralized world, where nothing is beautiful but one thing - the common truth. How does living in a world like this feels? How far fetched is this world from ours? What is the nature of truth, and freedom?

These are my thoughts. hope that's working for you.

They store your IP, and they use it. I think that sums all up. The point of vpn is to be private, and if you’re giving up your IP to a third party, you’ve done nothing with the vpn.
