Your shadowy plots are the most shadowy that the world has ever known. It's never been seen before. One could say that they are unprecedented. Historic even.
If there is a third world war I think either everyone will lose in one day (nuclear weapons), or it will be sabotage and 'special military operations' everywhere for decades, and not named as a world war until later.
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.
It's been difficult getting honest, balanced and intelligent input from people around us. We live in area with a big 'alternative' subculture and most people seem to have a bit of an axe to grind (both for and against), making it hard to get a useful perspective.
A couple of questions, if you don't mind:
Do you know what it was that your son struggled with about going school and what changed when he did start? Also, I didn't know it was an option to go to school part-time these days. Is this arranged directly with the school and are they amenable to it?
How did you go about finding groups and meetups? And what usually happens at them?
Everything you've said makes perfect sense and I can see how it would effect us.
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.
I had no idea... How is it used? Can I sign in with a fediverse client app using a Nextcloud account and start commenting on stuff?
