As a guy once told me: “I may be a drug dealer, but I’m not a fuckin liar.”
- Comment on Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog 3 days ago:
Pervasive surveillance is a hostile act. Abetting genocide and other crimes against humanity is a hostile act. Serving the rich at the expense of the poor is a hostile act.
- Comment on Where can I learn about networking? 4 days ago:
How I learned the most was building a home server and figuring out all the problems along the way. LAN, WAN, VPN, iptables, DNS…
- Comment on at what point in life it's too late to go back to school? 5 days ago:
For sure. I was in a dying industry, and now I have the makings of a career. I would say: have a goal, map out the steps it will take to achieve it, then take the first steps!

I went back to school in my 40s and changed careers.
- Comment on Solutions for remote access? 1 week ago:
I do your second suggestion. I have a cheap ($5/mo) vps from digital ocean that proxies all the traffic to/from my home server via wireguard. There’s a few tutorials out there that explain how to configure iptables to forward traffic from one network interface to another on the vps.

It’s funny, I just came back from an open-mic night, and there was a fair bit of this material haha.
- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 5 weeks ago:
Check out Yunohost. In my experience it is way easier to setup and manage than docker. I’ve been using it for years and it continues to improve and add more supported software.

- Comment on How much time and money would it take to set up and maintain a server similar to disroot.org, offering the same services, for a group of ten people? 2 months ago:
Came here to say pretty much the same thing. I basically already host “disroot” services for myself.

- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 2 months ago:
Spend some time figuring out what your core principles are. Once you have identified those, use them as your “guiding light” when you encounter news or points of view, and constantly refer back to those principles to keep yourself centered.
- Comment on What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation? 2 months ago:
VPS is not that much, especially if you aren’t storing a ton of media. Digital Ocean and Hetzner are good places to look. This will also prevent some networking headaches you’re likely to have hosting it “on prem”.
If part of your reason for doing this is to involve the kids in the process, then it’s better to do it locally. Someone in the org has or can find an unused desktop computer that you guys can have fun with for pretty much zero cost. You will probably have trouble trying to connect to it from outside your network though.
- Comment on Why do conservatives define being fascist solely as "being violent?" 3 months ago:
Because it suits them to. That is really all there is to it. “Fascism” got such a universally bad name, that even (almost all) fascists dont want yo call themselves such. Instead, they try to use this negatively associated word to describe the people fighting against them.
- Comment on Why didn't he just call on his powers to stop the bullet? 3 months ago:
I want to know if they tested him for fentanyl. I mean, sure, a bullet to the neck isn’t good for you, but how do we know it wasn’t a drug OD that actually killed him?
