The state meaning literally the conceptual apparatus or entity that has the legal monopoly to use force in a geographic area. The State can shoot you and not be subject to the same rules as if you shoot another person or agent of the state.

The most basic is example of commingling of the state and free enterprise is Regulatory Capture—a Wall Street corporation has ex-employees join the SEC, which in turn writes rules via the State to benefit that corporation asymmetrically. Because there’s a gun in the room, you’re basically one step removed from giving the corporation itself the legal right to use force.

The most egregious example is obviously the military industrial complex.

However, because in their heads most people will abstract away this notion, they will say things like, “we need to make corporate lobbying illegal,” or “we need to block corporations from donating to political campaigns.” The reality is that the revolving door of regulatory capture trumps all that. If the state exists to write rules, free enterprise will capture it because it has to capture it in order to survive.

The actual problem, from an anarchist-anarcho capitalist sense, is that capitalism is morally incompatible with the state or a government conceptually, because given the nature of capitalism—and moreover people in general—free enterprise will also take hold of this all powerful monopoly that is the state, and then pervert it to its own ends.

Hence, crony capitalism.

Arguably, whether capitalism or socialism, when combined with a State, both break down rapidly.

New2DSXL is what you want. And a back up motherboard in case yours fails and needs to replace.

It’s the goat pirate/homebrew console. Pretendo is thriving.

Saber doesn’t literally mean weapons dude. Trade war saber rattling is still saber rattling.

China threatening anyone other than the US is indeed hilarious saber rattling.

Some thing about saber rattling toward Australia is utterly sublime.

Rebuild on PC or native to most anything if you have the gumption to do it.

Hi all

Sorry for the slow seasonal start. Life gets in the way of sport sometimes.

Comment how you’d like to see threads update for a better activity cadence this season.

Weekly or monthly threads?

Something else? I’ve been out lately and have a bad beat on c/nba vibes and Lemmy writ large. Let us know!

Hi Lemmy gang -

Too many answers online across Reddit and misc forums, so I come to you.

I am looking to ditch my mesh net corporate ware Linksys setup for a variety of reasons.

From my cursory research, a mini PC for routing, or an otherwise dedicated box that I can OpenWRT/wireguard (EDIT: modem -> router box -> local net), then separately do the access points as desired, probably seems ideal. Would like 3-4 Ethernet’s and not two.

Should I get a hardcore commercial router? A mini pc for routing?

I will again decouple the media networking etc to a different box/PC. Mainly, I want to have the networking hub, and family WiFi, setup in the spirit of self hosting / OpenWRT / Wireguard outbound (thinking tailscale or headscale later, I’m a Jellyfin veteran).

But I am a total noob as far as getting really into networking, Linux things, etc. A simple noob hardware and setup guide is my desire.

Thanks fam.
