Dear LA,

We love you, and we've got your back.

Be safe, and know that we'll be ready to help however we can in the aftermath.

All the losers popping off from their phones or keyboards can suck it.

We. Are. One. California. ✊🏽

Love,

The Bay

💙💙💙

Shout out to @freebliss

Thank you thank you thank you for making Hyper 8!!!

Our band plans to do video releases exclusively going forward, having a FOSS tool like this is a game-changer

Fellow #musicians and anyone who makes videos they want to release on their own terms: this is the thing you've been looking for:

A modest proposal: we need a new term, to describe mass-scale 'folie a deux' (a French term used to describe shared psychosis among 2 people, usually spouses/romantic partners).

Please reply with ideas, or if such a succinct term exists

~Calling all clever with self hosting types (this is Masto, we know you're here somewhere)~

We need help sorting out self hosting, as we are suffering option overload.

Our needs:

Secure. How do we (or, do we?) combine firewall, secure logins, 2FA, VPN, tunneling, reverse proxy, etc.? Fewer machines would be better, but we are okay with buying a separate hardware firewall if the benefits justify the up front cost.

Easy to set up & maintain. We want to use the tech, not manually edit config files all day. All 3 of our members have tech experience, but none of us wants to have to be a hard core sysadmin for a small self host server.

Our use case:

Central file storage for video, music, documents. Collaboration on files. Video conferencing. Remote access, as the server will be set up in a different city from where we live. So, Nextcloud, Duplicati for backups, something like Jitsi Meet, some kind of secure login like zero tier / Cloudflare / tailscale.

Options we have considered:

CasaOS - concerned about security (uses HTTP by default). If a hardware firewall would solve this issue, this option is the one we're most familiar with presently.

Cosmos Server - appears secure, not sure if it's 'daily driver' ready. If anyone uses Cosmos as their daily server OS, please comment on your experience.

UmbrelOS - not sure if it supports installing Docker containers that aren't in its app store. Also, not sure about security.

Fediverse, please guide us to the path of easy and secure self hosting, as we are sick of reading crappy subreddit threads!

Please boost to help us find answers 🙏🏽

Open apology to Mike Judge:

We don't know how you time traveled back to warn us with 'Idiocracy,' but we're sorry that not enough of us took heed.

For those of us who did pay attention, all we can say is we voted for the female candidate.

Biden in 2020: 81 million+ popular vote

Harris in 2024: less than 67 million popular vote

This is what betrayal looks like

We signed up for #loops on 22 Oct, we got our "Keep an eye out for another email" message, but that other email still hasn't arrived, 10 days out

Is this normal?

@dansup what should we do? Sign up again, keep waiting?

@burnoutqueen Indeed

We often lament that, if humanity is really as clever as we think we are, then why the hell are we still using money? Worldwide, we produce more than enough to provide for every single person on Earth. The failure to figure out how to sustain our entire species, when we have the means to do so, proves we are the dunces of evolution

After reading about the MSG KKK-Nazi circle jerk, we take great pride in sharing the following fun fact:

MSG has a ton of cameras connected to facial recognition software.

Wouldn't it be something if a person or persons with certain tech skills found their way into MSG's servers? Maybe they could warn the rest of us who to avoid doing business with, we're certain the crowd was filled with business owner dirtbag types
