Google and apple? Absolutely zero chance of him doing that on his own. They each have a market capitalization of almost $4 trillion, and even though he’d only have to buy 51% of them that’s still way more than his net worth. And that’s not getting into how most of his wealth is in the form of tesla stock, which he can’t sell to much of without tanking the stock price. Plus corporations have ways to stop people who are trying to buy them out if they don’t want to be sold, like even though twitter was a publicly traded company musk still had to negotiate a deal with twitter’s management

He might be able to buy a significant portion of one or both companies stocks and then be able to vote for board members and stuff and try to gain influence that way, but that’s not the same as owning a controlling stake in the company, and frankly I don’t see him politically out manoeuvring alphabet or apple’s existing boards of directors

I think congress already preemptively authorized military action against venezuela (with the democrats’ support of course) Edit: looking it up technically it was a resolution to tell trump not to use military force in venezuela without prior authorization and they couldn’t be bothered to move it out of committee

I don’t think not providing arms to a genocidal state to enable it to attack its neighbours and avoid retaliation for its genocide counts as the bar for “perfection”

this article gives a brief overview of the history of the book of revelation and reviews a book that probably goes into much more detail, and this specifically covers the connection between nero and the antichrist and the Beast as well as how 666 comes from נרון קסר (‘nrwn qsr’ from greek Neron Kaisar) and how 616 comes from נרו קסר (‘nrw qsr’ from latin Nero Caesar)

No but for real the book of revelations is just a coded reference to the roman empire. Like that’s actually the scholarly consensus that it’s just shit talking roman imperialism and is using a bunch of metaphors and references only jews would’ve understood to avoid getting in trouble

Edit: btw “the beast” is just nero and 666 was originally 616 which comes from doing hebrew numerology on nero’s name

 

I kind of want to set up my own domain for personal stuff and learning purposes. I was thinking of using it for a vpn for ssh-ing into my local devices and for hosting git repos and stuff. Maybe a phorge instance or something. It wouldn’t really be for public use so I don’t think I need to worry about high traffic.

I know when hexbear switched domain name services during the recent debacle that people seemed to really like the new one but I forget what it was called. As for server hosting, I guess aws is the obvious choice, but that and azure are the only choices I’m even aware of, so I don’t know if there’s something else out there that’d be better suited to my needs. Actually, do I even need server hosting at all? My friend mentioned that I could configure my router to forward requests on a certain port to one of my devices, so could I set up my own server that way? Wouldn’t that cause issues if the router restarts and I get a new ip address?
