bitcoins are popular mostly because it's used in drug trade etc. illegal activities

also over hype by neckbeards

^^

it will never be widely adopted

what's the easiest way for someone to learn Mandrin? I'm a native english speaker now, and I'm near fluent in Spanish, but what would it take to master Mandrin?

easiest would probably differ for everyone, how did you manage to speak spanish?

but tbh i failed all 3 attempts to learn language so i shouldnt provide any advice hehe

bitcoins are also used in greece

anyone use taobao here?

specifically the second hand shit http://2.taobao.com/

there's this dude selling Raspberry Pi Gameboys, looks rad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7mQvFxuWsg

nani?!?

Those look dope

Wonder how much they cost

All the comments are saying "sell on aliexpress please"

sent them a mail last night, they still haven't answered

they're about 140 assembled for the deluxe version (6 face buttons and PSP-style analog nub) on taobao, not too bad

although if you want to go super ghetto this looks more fun to assemble https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mCKVIiTx34

and also almost all the individual pieces are still useful on their own if you're sick of it, powerbank, rpi + display, ipega

*China is going to start blocking all VPNs next year, though. The government is becoming increasingly isolationist over there. It's a wee bit scary... Now, state-run news agencies have made it clear that the government will shut down the I.P. ranges of all VPNs.*

then get a <$5 vps

bought a year subscription would be mad if they ban it

Mfw I used a VPN the whole time I was there so I could use Google and look at furry porn

I paid for it too. This are like the only working ones and even then sometimes they cut out

If anyone needs a VPN before China kills them all I recommend Vypr. It server me well. Gives you a gig free and then $10 a month for unlimited. I just canceled after one month

Oh nice

I use expressvpn

seems like a lot of people use it too

I do

@kenny 👉🤛 https://box.cock.li/

$10/mo for 1TB bandwidth

I don't know about the reliability, considering the Germans/Romanians took the server drives for Cockmail one day

Oh shit 98% full

just get your own cheapo box there are tons of cheap vps sellers

but yeah cockli is decent

He promised in a video that he'd focus on security of the data. I don't know what he has changed but I dont think the server is run in his house anymore

Oh, have you used that before?

That looks pretty good. I'd sign up for that if it were good

Not the VPS but the email

I have a fuckton of throwaway emails from cock.li and the affiliated webmail providers

I mostly want a VPS for hosting some minor pointless services though
