I would not call a region with a capital city that was founded in the 16 hundreds isolated.
Are you talking about the current capital of Medellin (founded 1717) or the original capital Santa Fe de Antioquia (founded 1541). Santa Fe sits on the Cauca river which was the only way the Spanish were able to make it that far into the mountains. It would take them months to travel to places like Medellin, which is why it was isolated.
Mestizo is just the spanish word for mixed person and fits all of Latin America as there are very few indigenous groups left.
I am using isolation in the standard meaning. To mean separated. I do not mean uncontacted. Sure uncontacted tribes are isolated, but so where the Paisas. What you may be missing is people didn't just take a day trip into this region. The Spanish empire sent groups of people with the wealth and resources of a nation state, forcibly using indigenous slave labor to travel deep into the Andes. Once they arrived, it was rare that people left.
The only way to get close was to use the rivers with human powered boats. Then you had to use established trails or cut through extremely dense dangerous forest. This kind of work took years to accomplish and was the result of generations of people slowly building up a colonized society at the will of the Spanish Monarchy. This is why most of the larger towns and cities in south weren't established until the 19th century.
From wikipedia about the Paisas: The Paisas have been considered a genetically isolated population according to scientific studies.
From wikipedia about Antioquia: Due to its geographical isolation, being located among mountains, Antioquia suffered supply problems. Its topography did not allow for much agriculture, so the city became dependent upon trade, especially of gold and gin for the colonization of new land.
I was in Medellin and Jericó two weeks ago. The isolation is talked about in the museums and is well established fact. I just mean separated not unreachable.
The Paisa people were isolated in the Andes mountains for a long time as it was difficult for the Spanish to access when it was part of Gran Colombia. The culture around Medellin and the coffee triangle is different the rest of country and kind of similar to the Southern hospitality in the US. Everyone is so willing to talk to you and invite you to gatherings even if you’re a stranger.
They are no longer isolated but their culture persists. I just hope all the tourism doesn’t spoil it.
This is just political theater to make it seem like the Governor is doing something. Colombia, and much of Latin America, has a much larger issue being extremely wealthy countries with vastly poor populations.
These countries are being kept this way purposely so that they can be exploited by much wealthier nations(US, Spain, France, Netherlands, India). This breeds a culture of self regulation and minimal government intervention, riddled with corruption and a populace left to their own devices.
Prostitution in the touristic areas hasn’t been stopped at all, just pushed a little underground while the cops look the other way, because they are also customers.
Fixing this problem requires something that won’t occur in our lifetimes. Which is unfortunate as Colombia is one of the most beautiful and magical places on earth. Antioquia specifically is such an amazing place and the Paisa people are so unique and kind. Really beautiful when isolated cultures can survive this long.
Veronica Explains just posted a whole video of how to do this.

I read part of the article and thought I finished because on mobile it’s broken up by a bunch of advertisements. I missed some details but my point still stands. I am speaking less about this specific project and more about the state of the industry and how it has been diluted.
Good point, but it even solidifies what I am saying even more. Even with everything Coppola has done he still had to put up his own money, I mean he did this before with Apocalypse Now and had to mortgage his house.
Despite running Zoetrope since the early 70s and making a long string of commercial successes, no one wants to front the money.
Thing is he will probably make more on the backend anyway since he is taking all the risk and once it’s done he’ll have no trouble finding distribution. Hell, he’ll could probably self distribute and make insane amounts of money.
Hollywood is on a slow track to irrelevance just like TV. Who would have thought that Coppolas famous “fat girl in Ohio” statement would be about himself…
The things that makes me sad is the only way something like this can get made in the studios is if the names attached are guaranteed to draw a crowd. Everything else is safe and calculated.
40 years ago “Hollywood” started to pretend that it was making pencils and not art. That every production had to be a safe sure thing. Let’s all make the McDonald’s hamburger of movies just about every time, we’ll let you take a chance if you break a billion in profit but otherwise we want vanilla predictable serotonin juicers and nothing else…
I won’t see anything anymore unless it has something new to offer. Otherwise they can all fuck off!
Luna is the Latin word for moon. It’s not the official name in English. It’s just called “Moon” in English, just like the sun is just called “Sun” despite being many other words in other languages.
Because there is just one of them it’s not really necessary to give it a unique name, but there are lots of options in Latin, Greek and other languages if you want to get fancy.
It doesn’t matter if you use a service or not. Someone in your family most likely has DNA on file, either through voluntary submission, like 23andme, or through law enforcement, military government interactions that require submission. Once a family member is on file, it’s easy to ID you. Many crimes have been solved this way. Point being, doesn’t even matter if you try to keep private, if a nation state or three letter agency wants you, you done. If you’re worried about some company having your data just don’t participate in any of them… pretty much all you can do currently.
DNS services with blocks lists such as Pi-Hole, AdGuard, NextDNS, etc, provide a centralized config file for all devices on a network, so you only configure once, collect statistics, have built in block lists that can be easily modified and updated either automatically or manually and are fast.
Using large lists in a host file will slow local resolution. It wasn't designed for this use case as it's acting a flat file database with a limited amount of RAM allocated for the process and will get slower the longer the list. While this latency won't be noticeable in the thousands of lines, once you start hitting hundreds of thousand or millions of entries it will start to crawl.
Hosts file are also unable to RegEx or Wildcard entries which means you would have to duplicated lots of variations in domains...
I mean I can also statically assign IPs to ever client and keep a spreadsheet, but why don't I just use DHCP?
