“They’re hurting the wrong people!!”

Very true, I just didn’t know about it, maybe due to the app I use.

As someone who’s been on Lemmy for a year, TIL avatars are a thing lol

Louis Rossman, a strong advocate for the right to self-repair, has an extensive, bottom to top guide on self hosting your own services. It starts from introducing what a modem is and what role it plays, and it ends with an entirely self hosted cloud. It comes in article as well as 13 hour video form. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get started self hosting - it doesn’t just introduce software you should learn, but it also shows you how to configure it.

I finally got link warden up and running, but I’m chasing down some failures on a few websites.

Every dollar given to the IRS yields 5-9 dollars back in recovered taxes.

If I told you you could put a dollar in and multiply that by fivefold in a year, you’d be a fool to not leverage it.

If you were running america as a business, you would failing a fiducial duty by not investing in it.

Now, I wonder why the billionaires in charge of government don’t do it?

Hmm.

Syncthing-fork for Android is the only tricky bit

Use obsidian enough and your brain also just starts to interpret raw markdown lmfao.

I’ve definitely caught myself using md to format pen and paper notes before.

Organization scheme, ease of use of the voice channels, cross platform compatibility.

We briefly looked into discord alternatives. Element x isn’t mature enough, schildi chat could be viable. Revolt seemed to be the front runner, but the voice chat was awkward to use since it didn’t show when people were in channels, and the noise cancelling of discord was sorely missed.

This is the disheartening part that highlights the class divide. Shootings of common folk barely make the news where I’m from. How much have taxpayers paid for this so far? Justice clearly isn’t being applied equally.
