Honestly, I’d buy 6 external 20tb drives and make 2 copies of your data on it (3 drives each) and then leave them somewhere-safe-but-not-at-home. If you have friends or family able to store them, that’d do, but also a safety deposit box is good.

If you want to make frequent updates to your backups, you could patch them into a Raspberry Pi and put it on Tailscale, then just rsync changes every regularly. Of course means that wherever youre storing the backup needs room for such a setup.

I often wonder why there isn’t a sort of collective backup sharing thing going on amongst self hosters. A sort of “I’ll host your backups if you host mine” sort of thing. Better than paying a cloud provider at any rate.

Wait, what?

From a read of that issue, it looks like it never was.

I think he meant that if the US had just taken the entire continent rather than having to share it with Canada, they would have been even more ruthless in their genocide than we were.

He’s probably right, but saying it that way betrays how truly broken his worldview is.

FUCK YEAH! LET’S DO SOME MOTHERFUCKING SPACE STUFF!*

*To be clear, I say this unironically.

Lemme guess: still no assistance for purchasing e-bikes or cargo bikes?

I keep seeing Zulip tossed around as an alternative, but I don’t know what’s up with their licencing. There’s also Framateam, but I think that might just be Mattermost as a service.

Matrix would be great if it wasnt so user-hostile, but it is :-(

A rebate sounds like a positively insane idea. It’s just a corporate subsidy with extra steps.

If you want to lower prices, you can’t give people money to give to the oligopolies. You have to break up the oligopolies, regulate the hell out of them, and send some people to prison for price fixing.

No. It will not help. Maybe in a competitive market it might, but Canada has been nursing an oligopoly for decades now, and oligopolies set their own prices based on what the public will tolerate.

Lowering prices requires either (a) breaking up the giants, or (b) offering a publicly-run alternative that somehow bypasses the vertically integrated supply chain.

I’m just going to leave this here…

Emily Lowan has a great hashtag she’s running called the #FightTheOligarchs tour and it’s really well done. Never in a million years would I have expected a media game so smooth from the BC Greens.

Avi Lewis’s account is pretty new, but honestly from what I’m setting, he could learn a thing or two from Lowan’s feed.

Ooh! I wrote something for this… back in 2018:

This is the only correct answer here. You want drivers to slow down? Stop building big, wide, straight roads. You need to add curves with trees and barriers, narrow the lanes, and (gasp!) even remove some lanes. Everything else is theatre.
