Have a look at YUNOhost for your OS. It’s based on Debian and is designed to be really easy to set up and use, which might be useful for you as you have young children and not much time.

Ah OK that’s a shame.

I haven’t even looked at port forwarding. I think maybe some ISPs in some countries might block traffic this way but others will know better. Everything just works with Mullvad on Fedora with Qbittorrent, so I’m happy.

Going organic and plant-based would be such a massive improvement.

People have been saying this for at least 40 years.

I can’t speak for others but I go through phases of enjoying the sound of different accents. I’m currently loving Indian.

Me. Only Pixelfed, Mastodon and Lemmy for two or three years. I dont feel like I miss anything and in fact find it much healthier, especially Pixelfed. I never really used Instagram but love my Pixelfed feed of art and photography.

I think this is a good article and I agree with it.

A big part of how I got turned on to open source was emotional and still is tbh. I felt like I was being taken for a fool by Apple, Google, Microsoft and Facebook and was angry.

The big money and power is in information technology now and it’s the new instrument of imperialism, which is why ‘enshittification’ has happened. The great news though is that information is so easily shareable and reproducible, so the more of it we make free the harder it is for them to keep fucking us over with it.

I don’t know when the next big civilizational ‘reshuffle’ will happen (probably on it’s way now), but the more that we make common and free the less leverage the greedheads will have over us when it’s time to work out a new settlement.

Pretty ironic considering they don’t play any sports of their own.

Maybe. They clearly want to in Denmark and Germany though. And France does good work too.

Not many of us are old enough to have seen things really change but they can.

Yeah, I think you mis-read my comment and that we agree :)

I think their point is that in a large enough group there will be people who you cease to regard as peers.

I think a much more stable option would be morals defining your identity and being loyal to that.

I’m glad you posted the question - good to think about.

Sounds like either a) the dehumidifier is broken or confused b) your apartment has more moisture in it than you thought or c) the moisture is being replenished from somewhere.

I stayed in a friends house a few months ago and she had 4 dehumidifiers running since she bought it. The house was built before damp proofing was a thing and set into a hill, so the place is basically one massive wick for groundwater. It will never be over for her.

It would be funny if Trump’s biggest legacy was the mass adoption of open source.

The EU could get a ridiculous amount done if it decided to seriously invest in it.

I use Jami and Session. Interested to check out SimpleX Chat though.

It certainly is!

Celery makes all soups taste pro 👌

I’m afraid I can’t offer any recommendations but I just wanted to say how beautiful it is to think of you keeping track of each others heartbeats while you’re apart. That’s love

If you subscribe to hashtags for your interests from a Pixelfed account I’m sure you will find artists and art that you like. There are some wonderful artists on the Fediverse and it’s how I find most of the artists and art that I like these days.

Some that I particularly like right now:

• @[email protected] - abstract expressionism

• @[email protected] - digital watercolour ‘bio-fantasy’

• @[email protected] - 1900s Japanese Shin-hanga prints from various artists

I sometimes see artists offering prints but I’m sure most artists would be approachable about making them for you if you’d like to buy one.

Unless the people around you were also doing the same then I think you would still be exposed to polluted views and knowledge.
