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.

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.

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.

Definitely going to do this. Thanks for posting!

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

Just wait until you see a post about GIMP…

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.

Perhaps expensive briefly but the overall savings would be colossal.

Yeah, I’ve always found this with tidying up. And If I can just start with something approachable it usually ends up snowballing into a complete sort-out anyway!

This is cool. I did the recent (and similar) post about ‘ADHD Hijackers’. Seeing this post too has made me think more about the value of crowd-sourcing info on this community. I think summarising threads like this is useful. I think a second useful step could be to also classify/group the responses in some way and maybe also figure out a way to filter for these types of posts, perhaps with a keyword, so they are easy to find.

I’ve never used it but I bet there are better things about Wafrn than integrating with bluesky :)

It’s great too see posts about fedi software though. We’re spoilt for choice and I love that.

Yeah, I didn’t want to influence the poll too much with my own stuff but was reflecting on it alone and that is definitely in my top 5 and probably top 3. It’s an abiding one too.

Wooop! I guess your prize is knowing that your honesty helped everyone to recognise something about their lives that they are not crazy and alone struggling with. It certainly gives me encouragement to stop scrolling so much :)

What’s the job just out of curiosity?
