It all comes down to how many house-like amenities you can build into a rig. If you can get solar, internet, AC, heat, hot & cold running water, a shower (preferably recirculating), a fridge, stove (and/or microwave and/or oven), and a toilet then you're on easy street. Then if you want to travel you need either savings or a mobile way of making money. It's only scary if you're living homeless style with few amenities, little money, and staying in a lot of urban areas, that's bottom barrel right there.
But you know vanlife is awesome when one of the biggest complaints from long time vanlifers is becoming jaded to waking up to scenic vistas.
As a kid I dreamt of owning a huge, custom-built castle that look all spooky and medieval on the outside but was completely high tech on the inside. Fell a bit short of that dream... #vanlife
Unless colleges figure out another way to get a diverse student population you can expect 99% of top university spots to be filled by Indian and Chinese men within 6-8 years.
There's a lot of truth to dead internet theory. As someone who's been online since there was an online to be on I've seen it dry up. The internet used to be vast, like incalculably vast. Once commercial interests got involved it began contracting into what we have today. Mega websites like social media hubs acted like black holes swallowing up huge swaths of smaller sites. Free hosting companies with huge user bases went under and companies managing the data storage of the net began purging sites who's owners hadn't accessed them in however long or who'd stopped paying the hosting bill. It's been like watching stars in the night sky blink out of existence one by one until mostly only the brightest stars remain.
Founder title comes when you reach 100 true karma regardless of join date I believe.
It's the "true" karma bit that's tripping me up tho, I'm almost at 400 calculated karma but the true karma equation subtracts your post count from the total and I have a gazillion no-upvotes posts and comments that I made early on (and keep making) to keep my subs active and show activity on the site to hopefully attract new users. I'd have founder status by now if I only posted stuff I knew would get decent interaction.
Yeah really Digg and Reddit both launched with millions of dollars in VC funding and before the term "social media" existed. They were first and second movers in a space who's only competition was a bunch of unfunded, non-linked forums spread across the internet that all required a search engine to find and separate logins to use. Growing a user base was like Mike Tyson vs second graders for them. Mainchan has to compete with a fully grown Reddit, the Fediverse, it's own 4chan inspired name scaring off a segment of potential users, and the rest of the billion dollar social media landscape that isn't giving up eyeballs without a fight. Growing in this environment, without deep pockets, in any meaningful way is remarkable.
You know what I think I was talking out of my ass. I actually hadn't used hover on my phone in forever. Just testing it now there was no response. I was remembering my old Note 3 which specifically did have hover functionality, you can see demoed here: https://youtu.be/eWZ5NtmSK64?t=23
Since then mobile hover seems to be one of the many corners Samsung has cut in the latest phones. Now it just seems relegated to the s-pen and only in certain apps. Samsung Internet being one.
Edit: Now I'm legitimately considered getting a Note 3 again. That seriously was the peak in terms of features on Samsung phones.
I use Brave on mobile. But hover is just a feature of the phone, you should be able to do it right now if you're on one of the flagship phones. Especially a Note, you can easily see it when you use the pen tool.
I don't think it's sad, I ran a bunch of PHPBB type forums back in the day, the slow build of the user base really takes me back. Savor it now, eventually it'll hit critical mass and 5x your stress level to keep up with.
I'm also using a different browser to access the site for now because the only fix on the user end for that error is clearing one's browser cache and I don't feel like resetting my main browser like that at the moment.
Now I'm just picturing the balls it would take to produce man milk that could be labeled as a "huge swath". You got the syndrome Angus?
Cool, dude didn't have a childhood. That shouldn't be a prerequisite for attending university.

What's wrong with shutting off access to the top universities in America for everyone who isn't an Asian man? That needs to be explained?

AI Pope has that Balenciaga coat, real Pope don't got that drip. AI Pope FTW.
The error is gone for me so whatever you did worked.
Was it a timed thing? Just tried and the register link just leads back to the homepage.
lol that was literally my reaction.
Haha thanks, dunno how it happened so quick after I mentioned it but I'll take it.
Also
I saved some AI faves of mine in hopes that I can one day use them as memes, like the attached
Back atcha mate.

I'm sure you wound up searching up the same page I saw on that error 520: https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/error-520/ did you wind up trying any of those fixes?
