  • We’re not willing - huge portions of us aren’t at the very least. My contract ends next year, but I’m ready to go to court-martial or worse if given an unlawful or unconstitutional order, as are all the rest of my division, at least, including the division Chief. And as someone in the direct chain for nuclear launch, we definitely are not launching on the Homeland - none of the officers will, none of the enlisted will, and you need us to each do our part for anything to launch at all, unlike in the movies.

    Even still - the Vietcong successfully held out long enough for America’s full might to be withdrawn. I’m not proposing anything for legal reasons. But getting involved with mutual aid and community building might be a bit more useful than you think.






  • There’s 120 guns per 100 people in the US, a huge veteran population with combat training, most of them armed, multiple armed paramilitaries, militia groups, and a large number of people with military-grade munitions and equipment all over the nation. As the old quote goes, “behind every blade of grass, a gun”. It only takes about 3.5%. And there’s only a few million people in the government, and 300 million disgruntled individuals, many of whom know the exact tactics, exact procedures, cryptographic codes, techniques and practices of infantry, marines, special forces, SWAT, police, the DHS and ICE. Not to mention, disgruntled active-duty servicemembers on the inside - the “insider threat” they keep lecturing us about.







  • There’s several that you can customize to your liking, and several megathreads about it on the old site we shall not speak of.

    Thing is, the specific units you install can bedifferent depending on personal preference; I use qbittorrent instead of transmission for instance, Jellyfin instead of Plex, and so on.

    Once you get it set up, though, everything else should go smoothly, and you’ll practically never have to do manual searches ever again (except those really niche shows nobody’s ever heard of).

    There’s an example docker file from Rick45 on github, but as I noted, he uses stuff like Plex and Deluge instead. Feel free to just copy the example file and edit as needed for your preferred services.

    Me, my preferred stack includes Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr, Jellyfin, qBittorrent, SurfShark, JellySeer, Flaresolver, and Organizer. Again, tweak as you’d like.




  • I’ve got several actually, but this is the one that’s most fleshed out:

    The entire “world” is set on an enormous dial, which itself is set on top of a massive mechanism of gears, all supposedly created by a Watchmaker and the Watchmaker’s Servitors, which have all disappeared after the mythical War of Shattered Gears. By the time of the story, it has been eons since those mythical times, and anthropomorphic feline Basteti live at peace alongside humans in cities built out of salvaged materials and relics from the Gearworks deep below. However, a shadowy Rustite Cult has emerged with the goal of spreading the eldritch Rust across the entirety of the Mechanism, and have corrupted the Tickbeasts and Clockroaches into horrific abominations. Only a plucky group of adventurers, from sneaky Nimblemitts to powerful Steamguards and eccentric Alchemists will be able to save the world from Rust.
