Who's a libertarian (let's go with self-described for now, we can quibble about details later) in Georgia and might be willing to have a discussion about doing something cool? If you know someone, send them my way.

Love ya, Martin, but this is a little bit much. You're on the right track, but a touch alarmist for my taste.

"Police are warning students and universities not to access Sci-Hub, an "illegal website" that allows users to download scientific research papers normally locked behind expensive subscriptions."
Very bad indeed. That name again: Sci-Hub. Remember it so you can avoid it. Ahem.

EFF's Atlas of Surveillance project started off with only 250 points on a map. Today, with the addition of data from WI, NJ, and FL, our inventory of U.S. police tech has grown to 7,000 data points. https://atlasofsurveillance.org/

Note that this isn't limited to Disney+. Every single streaming service I've looked at does EXACTLY the same tracking. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Spotify, Pandora, etc.
They ALL watch you constantly.

The #swedish regimes #MSB branch published a pamphlet titled "If Crisis Or War Comes" in 2018. It tells you how to prepare for and act in a lasting power-outage during winter. The clueless people in #Texas and other parts of the #USA should read it.

Once the government hands out the next $1.9 trillion, they will have increased the US dollar supply by 40% in a 12 month period.
If you think that isn't a problem, you are in for a rude awakening.

It is so frustrating that people have all these apocalyptic fantasies about shadow governments and underground bases and don't realise that there is a whole real actual 75 year old shadow government apocalypse bureaucracy that is very boring and works in very tedious and bad conditions for bad pay just to make sure that we can have an apocalypse any time the American elected civilian leaders want one.
I wish we would stop wanting one

So... like... experience with computers?
Why would you specify we really want someone who's good with React, but also C is just as good? You mention rust, so you have a pretty niche kind of person in mind, but also not.
