Remember how everyone got into baking their own bread during lockdowns? If you can feed yourself by turning flour, water, and yeast into bread like a grain alchemist, you can cultivate your own digital garden as well!

New post: "A newbie's guide to self-hosting with #YunoHost. Part 1: reasons + requirements"

🔗 : https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbies-guide-to-self-hosting-with-yunohost-part-1-reasons-requirements/

I can't believe my #selfhosting one year anniversary is coming up next week. @yunohost truly changed my digital life - for the better.

This is a 1st post in a 4 part miniseries intended for real newbies.

And now excuse me while I go hide in a cave expecting irate replies from sysadmins about certain things I wrote 😅

Brey, these folks plan to literally kill you all to keep burning oil and accumulating the money and power that comes with it. They are literally PLANNING to do you like vermin, so it can continue on a boiling hellworld.

You might want to stop pretending there's a way out of this where both you, and the billionaire maggots running everything survive. You're running out of time to get real about this; the rich men who mean you harm have certainly decided on *their* course of action.

German ministry renames itself, domain expires, is bought by SEO-spammer, expires again, is bought by domain grabber, then later bought by itsec company who now learns that apparently plenty of internal systems of the ministry still try to connect to the domain...
I don't even know where to start how terrible that is and what it tells us about government IT security practices...

@TimPhSchaefers good work!

You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.

Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.

They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply.

“I understand I’m just an independent developer—the kind of person Google doesn’t care about" -- developer whose accounts were wiped by Google for what the company later, but only after being contacted by a journalist, admitted was an unfounded, machine-decided "violation".

The disabled were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis because they knew people wouldn’t fight for us.

They knew that most people see the disabled as an expendable, so it’s easy to commit atrocities against us.

They called us “useless eaters” and threw us away

Trump using the R slur is not a mistake. It’s not a slip up. It’s not him just being a cranky old man.

He’s testing the waters.

He’s trying to see what he can get away with.

He’s furthering a eugenicist agenda.

I knew scammers were ripping off @simonegiertz's delightful edge-piece jigsaw puzzles with cheap low-quality bootlegs, but I just saw a new low on TikTok: I got an ad using *her stolen video* to advertise their knockoff. When you click the "Shop Now" link, it goes to their store with the near-identical fake minus the Yetch branding.

Please help me. Read and share this.

Help me stay alive, help Stop Gen AI too, we must band together, this is killing us and the planet...

In order to keep Donald Trump’s voter base entertained with spectacles of [predatory violence](https://crimethinc.com/2024/12/23/sacrificial-violence-and-retribution-comparing-the-killings-of-jordan-neely-and-brian-thompson#sacrificial-violence), recruiters are offering bribes of up to $50,000 to seduce gullible individuals into hiring themselves out to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). While Trump’s henchmen [falsely claim](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/12/04/us/ice-arrests-criminal-records-data.html) that ICE is targeting “criminals,” the real wrongdoers are those who are prepared to do harm to their neighbors in return for a bribe.

In cooperation with @CrimethInc (https://crimethinc.com) and the @catl (https://catl.noblogs.org/), we have prepared a video and poster campaign to counter ICE recruitment. Please help us circulate these everywhere that people are at risk.

There is nothing more despicable and dangerous than a mercenary. When you join ICE, you become a threat to your community and a traitor to humanity. **Once people see you with ICE, you’re going to have to wear that mask every day for the rest of your life.**

Instead of reading Trump's wall-of-text Truth Social posts, you can learn a lot about his health from his MRIs. https://patreon.com/BrianMcFadden
