Another angle:

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.

What could possibly go wrong.

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.

Fine.

Renationalise and redistribute wealth though.

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.

Check out YUNOhost. I had no prior experience with self hosting but was able to get it up and running on a VPS. Been up and running for over three years and afaict I have not been hacked.

Totally, go for it!

Sure, why not :)

Trump’s biggest legacy will be the global shift to open source. His second biggest legacy will be the decline the US empire.

What exactly was formerly open source? I think the NHS has more to gain from open source than almost anyone else I can think of. Incidentally they are also sitting on possibly the most valuable dataset on the planet.

Microwave maketh flat.

Such sweet cameras 🤌

They should start making them again, just with an updated sensor and AF tracking.

Good question, I want an answer to this too.

Yeah I don’t mean for free. I think that’s implied by the “happy to pay (reasonably) for it” part of the comment.

This is an excellent idea and very valuable - thanks for doing it 👍

I’ve been thinking about doing exactly this but for the free and open source applications that I know well. Having a hotline/helpdesk would be way faster and easier for newcomers to make use of than reading forum posts scattered all over the internet that usually assume higher technical skill levels, or starting their own posts. I for one would learned way better this way and in many cases would have been happy to pay (reasonably) for it.

If anyone would like to get involved in setting something up let me know.

I think it’s in your account settings, rather than the app.

I see. I guess I don’t use some of the technology that others do, so I probably don’t have this problem to the same extent others would.

In what way?

They are already moving onto people with mental health problems like spectrum disorders. After that they will have people who are physically disabled and, as always, women.

They will never run out of ‘others’ to blame. It’s better to confront them on the economy, which there is only one of and is already getting destroyed by policies they want to extend.
