Why do i need to convince a bunch of lemmings that shit is bad in the US? That is laughable. We all fucking know already.

It’s like you can’t read, but I know you can because you can write well enough, so I guess it’s that you either didn’t read or lack the tools to comprehend?
When will you be attempting your first political assassination? Who will be your target? Don’t go all American on me now, you’re a big strong Aussie after all, right? You got some MAGA-types down your way, when’s the next attack planned? Or are you going after the US Embassy to really send a message? Do tell…

I’m not denying reality. I’m mad and I want to make things better. So I work within my personal sphere of influence to lead by example and show the people around me what being kind, caring, interested, and engaged looks like in real life. I talk about the scary things I see or read about happening, along with the historical correlations when I recognize them and have the opportunity, with anyone and everyone that wants to discuss it, and frequently in spaces where others can overhear the conversation.
I think there are lots of people taking a similar approach. Talking to people around you in person is a lot more effective than doing it on the internet.
I’m not saying you’re doing the thing I’m about to mention, to be clear, but it feels adjacent to it, so I’m throwing it out there for the lemmyverse at large. I think it’s kinda shitty to see all the “why aren’t Americans doing anything” comments and posts. It would be astronomically stupid to post openly online about any serious resistance efforts. Most of us just want to live our lives, raise our families, and teach our children how to grow into honest and caring adults when they grow up. Being a lone wolf in a revolution that hasn’t yet materialized does not help any of us accomplish those goals, and it hurts the chances of a real popular uprising once a critical mass is achieved because it gives the gestapo something to point to and say “See, we’re actually needed for safety and not fascist pigs.” I can’t go fix this problem by myself any other way than the one I am doing right now, and I’m doing the hell out of it.
But it makes me sad, and a little bit depressed, probably like you are feeling too based on your post, to see such an apparent dearth of true patriotism reflected in our ruling class and to further see it echoed by the ruled class with stupid signs and idolatrous Trump flags alongside American flags that the flyer clearly has no real connection to other than as a cult symbol. Always remember how hard moneyed interests in the US attacked our education system, and never forgive the people that have made it a multi generational effort to ensure American children grew up without a true understanding of how government works nor the stakes at hand.
And now, with our society operating with a 6th grade reading level, the ruling class is performing their next trick: fooling the undereducated into allowing the rulers to take over and own everything as they see fit. After all, running things is very complicated and the instruction manuals are written at a much higher reading level than we can really understand entirely, you see. They fucked us, they are fucking us, and they continue to fuck us, while removing our collective ability to spread awareness of the perpetual enfuckening and how it has developed.
It’s just a whole thing, man. Fuck me. I’m trying, I’m doing my best, others are too, the constant reminder that I’m not doing enough is a bit much, and I’m not in a position where I can just declare myself a plumber with an affinity for he color green and see how my new career works out. In fact, that would probably make me less effective to the resistance efforts. You know?

- Comment on Turn linux server into a router? 5 days ago:
Is your router the issue, or the modem that decodes the signal from your ISP?
Last I checked, router/AP stuff is pretty easy to DIY (OpenWRT, PFsense, etc). But that’s the step after the modem has done what it needs to do.

- Comment on Hardware Suggestions For A Beginner? 5 weeks ago:
Proxmox on a Lenovo micro form factor is probably a good cost effective option. Get a business class ThinkCentre, like an M720 or something similar that’s 3-5 years old that a corpo has just upgraded away from, i5 or Ryzen 5 with however much storage and RAM you want. Spin up a container specifically and only for PiHole+Unbound (and consider adding a pi or some other dedicated hardware for DNS later on for redundancy in case your main goes down), and then the rest is however you want to build your environment.
For me, I’ve got a Pi dedicated to 3 key tasks: PiHole, Unbound, and PiVPN. It’s basically my filtering interface between the home network the rest of the internet immediately after my router handles the frontline defenses, and then I’ve got a Proxmox cluster to run most of the rest of my internal services.
- Comment on Plan for my first homeserver 1 month ago:
Ultimately up to you, but I’d go with no GUI and just use ssh (and sftp if you need to do file transfers).
When I was using Docker, it was headless because the GUI just ate up space and resources I didn’t need. All your interaction will be in the shell anyway, launching your compose.yml files.
But, if dealing with a headless machine sounds like more trouble than you want to try, install the DE if your choice and breathe easy because it’ll still work perfectly fine.
- Comment on Plan for my first homeserver 1 month ago:
I think you’ve put more thought into how to get started than many others would! You have a pretty good plan from what it seems. My thoughts from each section below.
Hardware: I’m partial to Crucial and Kingston for storage that is affordable and dependable
OS: I’d probably spin up a Debian install if I were in your shoes and run my services using docker-compose files. It’s a quick and easy to get up and running, and despite the ease, there is still the option to do a lot of customization when you want to, and that will make it easy to learn more at your own pace and leisure.
Services: For the CalDav portion, I’m really liking Radicale.
Security: PiVPN is what I’m running on my actual RPi along with PiHole, and it was a super simple setup. I connect via Wireguard from any of my other devices.

- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 1 month ago:
I just don’t want my NAS doing anything other than being a NAS, so I intentionally don’t run extra services there, but its a matter of finding what works for you. As long as you get to the destination you’re looking for, its mission accomplished
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 1 month ago:
Got an old raspberry pi laying around? PiHole+PiVPN is something I run on an old 3B+ I think, so I have something dedicated running both. But otherwise, I’d probably just spin up a container on a server or cluster and I’d probably go with debian and just run the exact same PiVPN setup script I did for the pi because it was super easy.

Is that on an Onn TV? I might have to go check it out again. Thanks!
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 2 months ago:
Samsung TVs have a Plex app, but not a Jellyfin one. Lots of people have Samsung TVs. I mean lots. Other modern TVs are likely the same, like Onn (at least the Roku TVs) last time I checked, and again they are all over. The ease-of-use factor really is a huge win for Plex.
