Podcast: Port People, Cyborgos, Future stuff

That kind of reminds me of when Jobe uploaded his consciousness at the end of 'Lawnmower Man'. Can you imagine someone really doing that and causing every phone on the planet to go off at the same time!?

I get maybe a 2x slowdown. The bigger issue for me is reliability. Windoze and soft VPN layers will suddenly go down without warning and expose your real ip address.

The episode *Be Right Back* in the show *Black Mirror* deals a bit with the Alan Watts situation you described.

I prefer that the podcasts don't show up on the main channel.

Wouldn't it make sense to tell your FB and IG followers that you're uploading new stuff? And wouldn't it make sense to upload your podcast content to your YouTube page with 500K subscribers, instead of your 2nd channel with 9K? And wouldn't it make sense to upload your stuff to a single RSS feed, so that your fans would always know where to find your content? Jesus. Your fans shouldn't have to dig around and get lucky to figure out when you're uploading new things.

I'm not really sure you will ever be able to download your consciousness. It will only ever be a computer simulation of you. Plus, if you believe in the occult, how would downloading the soul work exactly? I would worry about people rushing to download their consciousness into a new android body or on a cloud or something and disposing of their old standard issue bodies... Would it be mass suicide?

It doesn't "seem" to, it really does. Normally your connection to a server will be routed in as few hops as possible for the shortest distance. When you use a VPN, all your traffic is routed through wherever their endpoint is. This adds at least one extra hop and possibly more depending on how far the VPN server is from the server you are trying to access. For example, if you are in Kansas and your destination server is in California, it might take 30ms for you to get data back. But if your VPN is in New York, the data needs to travel from California -> New York -> Kansas. That might double or even triple the response time (latency).

A VPN is probably going to slow things down by its nature.

Try ExpressVPN. I’ve tried a lot, and that’s the only one that I’ve been pleased with. >8^)
