  If the government is not selling us out then what do they have to hide?

  It’s no wonder we don’t trust politicians when it’s clear they don’t trust us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Searchable db/Knowledge Management Software⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Check out Cherrytree. I use it for keeping track of literally everything in my life. It’s hierarchical and searchable and you can insert files as well as hyperlink to external files, URLS and other nodes internally. You can export the database in various formats and there is also the option to have it encrypted. You can theme it in the preferences to make it look nicer too (the default is a bit retro-looking). It’s free and open source and AFAIK you can open your database in other applications, so you’re not locked into it.

  If you want to sync it across devices just use Syncthing or whatever file sync app you’re selfhosting.

  I highly recommend it! Probably the most important application I have on my computer.

  Hi America, the people around the world living through famines, wars and genocides would like to have a quiet word with you.

  I installed Jitsi Meet on my YUNOhost server and am very impressed. It works really well and needed basically no setting up after installing.

  I suppose he could become a cabinet minister in a coalition though.

  Good article. He’s right as well.

  Can confirm. My kid was born last year and is 9 years old now.

  Why couldn’t that bird get a sleeping bag like the hamster did? Seems a bit drastic taping it down by the neck

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Missing votes on self hosted Lemmy instance⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure whether it helps but after the last major update on YUNOhost it notified me of a few extra DNS entries I had to make. If I remember correctly it was under Domains, rather than Diagnosis.

  Thanks :) I found a free PDF copy on anna’s archive

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  YUNOhost is designed for this. You can do almost everything graphically via the webadmin. Mine has been running for a couple of years and I’m very happy with it. I have email, XMP (both of which were installed out of the box), a website, file sharing and a few other things. There are a tonne of apps available, including Fediverse instances, Nextcloud. It’s a very cool thing to have available for making self-hosting more accessible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Religions have some of the wackiest rules⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s fascinating. Can you recommend any books on the subject? The easier to read the better!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vets tell BBC they are under 'consistent pressure' to make money⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I met another Brit travelling in Thailand who went to hospital with a stomach problem. They didn’t want to treat him until they got a confirmation email from his travel insurance. After they got the email they gave him a massive room to himself, lavished loads of food and drink on him and wouldn’t let him leave after he got better.

  Perhaps he’ll be open to looking at all the stuff which has been sold off to the Americans now. I won’t hold my breath.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘I’m super worried’: fewer UK tourists visiting US amid Trump’s policies and rhetoric⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m totally up for this. Yes, some kids will find out how to circumvent it and yes, some parents won’t abide by it but even if a law isn’t completely enforceable it totally changes people’s attitudes on a population level. Look at the ban on smoking in indoor public spaces for example.

  I’ve thought for a long time that a Mastodon instance administered by adults would be a good solution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Off-grid hosting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  OK, does that mean it’s not possible to have a public IP using a cellular device?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Off-grid hosting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Awesome, that’s very close to what I had in mind in terms of hardware.

  I’d mostly like to host a lightweight website but perhaps also some communications stuff like xmpp and maybe even email.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Off-grid hosting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How does that work? Thanks :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK government says anyone working in Britain for the Russian state will have to register and declare what they are doing or face jail⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish I could give your comment more than one upvote. I think the vast majority of us are not fully aware that we’re in the middle of an active Russian propaganda campaign. Apparently there are at least 10,000 people in Russia employed full-time on this and a tiny fraction of that here to try and combat it.

  I think this is the first time our society has been subject to a state-backed propaganda campaign since the widespread adoption of the internet (which is of course not regulated like ‘legacy media’ is) and so it makes sense that most people aren’t really on their guard for it. The government has no excuse though. They are reported to by the intelligence services, who know exactly what is happening here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I discover the Pixelfed content that is out there when so many big instances block exploration?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Would you be able to subscribe to those things via your account if they hadn’t made it across to your instance though? I’m no expert but perhaps this is side-effect of controls for moderating federation i.e blocking or allowing content from other instances.

  I do agree that it should be easier to browse any instance though. Some Pixelfed instances browser home pages seem to allow it and some don’t - I’m guessing it’s an admin option somewhere.
