It seems to be a way for people to have a paywalled blog without building their own website.

Another angle:

This allows the government to continue neglecting existing networks like social services and community policing, which are the bits that actually need reinforcing.

Also, lumping the rest of us in with terrorists and mass-murderers dilutes the pool of intelligence that has to be sifted through. No doubt they are anticipating ‘AI’ will solve this problem.

What could possibly go wrong.

Thank you - this is extremely helpful.

It’s been difficult getting honest, balanced and intelligent input from people around us. We live in area with a big ‘alternative’ subculture and most people seem to have a bit of an axe to grind (both for and against), making it hard to get a useful perspective.

A couple of questions, if you don’t mind:

• Do you know what it was that your son struggled with about going school and what changed when he did start? Also, I didn’t know it was an option to go to school part-time these days. Is this arranged directly with the school and are they amenable to it?

• How did you go about finding groups and meetups? And what usually happens at them?

Everything you’ve said makes perfect sense and I can see how it would effect us.

Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing your perspective - it’s really helpful.

Do you find that social interaction has been accessible enough for your daughter?

No, I haven’t written a blog post but I think I have some notes somewhere of things that I tripped up on at the time.

Edit: eh… ssh to a remote server? Damn sure that’s correct but I wouldn’t expect somebody with no self hosting experience to manage that.

It may differ between VPS providers but on mine there is a command line prompt available to use via web browser after logging in to their site. I would run the script there. I might put something on the YUNOhost forum suggesting to add a note about this.

Fine.

Renationalise and redistribute wealth though.

Totally agree with this. There is also the fact that at any moment the president of the united states can weaponise dependence on american cloud tech to crash healthcare systems and entire industries all over the world.

Self-hosting needs to become the norm, and I think a big part of that is cultural. Apart from the whole ‘op-sec’ angle, by self-hosting you are contributing to a safer and healthier technology culture.

Check out YUNOhost. I had no prior experience with self hosting but was able to get it up and running on a VPS. Been up and running for over three years and afaict I have not been hacked.

I use the Thunderbird email client to set up filters which send email to set folders.

Totally, go for it!

Sure, why not :)

Definitely going to do this. Thanks for posting!

I think Tuxedo (Germany), Slimbook (Spain), Laptopwithlinux (Netherlands) and PCSpecialist (UK) all have the same Clevo/Tonfang hardware. They all seem good, so I would choose one of them based on language! Unless OP wants something a bit more boutique, in which case Starlabs (UK).

Check out Star Labs. Their hardware is top notch, Linux-first, comes with Coreboot, and their customer support is excellent. They are hot on firmware updates too. I’ve had a really good experience with them.

Around here they get ten times more shit than any other comparable project.

Just wait until you see a post about GIMP…

Trump’s biggest legacy will be the global shift to open source. His second biggest legacy will be the decline the US empire.

Why doesn’t it include the $114 million in salaries that it pays and other big expenses? This extension makes it look like Wikipedia don’t need donations when they really do. Seems malicious.

Thanks :)

Yeah, totally. There is obviously medical literature out there as well as bloggers talking about what they’ve learned but I’m not aware of a ‘crowd-sourced’ body of aggregated experiences. The way Lemmy works is really good for it.

Edit: I’ll add to that by saying that collaborating as an online community to actually make defined things, even just lists like these, is positive and empowering.

For sure.
