  YUNOhost FTW!

  I would never have gotten into self-hosting without it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ll just get used to it over time. Think of it as spatial rather than numeric.

  It’s actually easier on the brain in my opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Angela Rayner hit with legal challenge over datacentre on green belt land⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s both. For example if you personally bought a piece of agricultural land and applied for planning to build a home on it yourself, you’d almost certainly be rejected.

  Despite what you might hear there is still plenty of space though: Buildings cover less of Britain than the land revealed when the tide goes out.

  People just doesn’t want any of you to have somewhere to live on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Britain’s lawyers are refusing to turn their back on Russian money⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny that they have option not to really.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you have a high street full of gambling shops breeding poverty and addiction? I have a way to fight back⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Communities feel powerless because the law gives betting firms the upper hand.

  One could say that the odds are stacked against them.

  About time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Parents in England skipping meals to afford school uniforms, survey finds⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was at school we had one logo patch that got transferred to new blazers as we outgrew them and two ties - one for the first 4 years and another one just for year 11. That worked out at about £5/year, for ‘branded’ items. And there was even a monopoly on these patches and ties, which was the haberdashery on the high street.

  […] more than a quarter (29%) said they had forgone food or heating to pay for uniforms.

  [‘The Spirit Level: Why Equality is Better for Everyone’](en.wikipedia.org/…/The_Spirit_Level_(Wilkinson_an… shows that in unequal societies people will priorities things which communicate social status over basic needs.

  Crazy. DDoS attacks are illegal here in the UK.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Bedale Viking Treasure Reveals Trade Connections with the Islamic World in 9th-Century England⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how many people travelled end-to-end between the two. It would have been an incredible journey back then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Overheated homes: why UK housing is dangerously unprepared for impact of climate crisis⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Man it’s not even just housing - pretty much everything that’s already teetering on the edge like water, transport, NHS, the National Grid, agriculture etc. is going to get clobbered. Bad timing for the UK.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK taxpayers on hook as failed Cumbria coalmine investors sue government⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. I think the government will pay out though, because they are so wedded to the idea of private investment and want to get patted on the head by the City.

  The one thing that would turn around Labour’s abysmal polling is to grow a pair and stop bending over for capital and tyrants. They won’t do it though. Sad times for the nation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Allotments are vanishing when the UK urgently needs more of them⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think everyone should have access to their own garden or allotment. Allotments have an added social side which is great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaving GitHub. Music server alternatives?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks :) I’m happy to chat to any musicians who read this and are curious about alternative release options.

  These exploitation economies are a race to the bottom.

  That’s exactly what they are and exactly what they do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaving GitHub. Music server alternatives?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have any app suggestions for you but have been reading through the comments just wanted to say that I’m 100% with you.

  I have a similar conversation other musicians I know and it’s the reason that I (and many others) won’t release anything on Spotify: Just being there adds value to them and what they do is destructive and dirty.

  I hope you find something and keep standing up for what’s right!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK Homelessness minister threw out her tenants - then increeased rent by £700 a month⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  News like this accelerates loss of faith in our failed political and economic orthodoxy, so in a way I’m glad to see it.

  It’s time now for a new and genuine progressive movement to come together and take the fight to Reform. I’ve signed up to the new Sultana/Corbyn/independent party but I would also recommend supporting a Green party under Zack Polanski, independent candidates who want to collaborate, and grassroots community projects.

  Others analysis may differ but mine is that ‘the left’ is starting to pull together and we should get behind it.

  Me too. I’m sure it’s fine but someone should pop a message to the developers about it.
