They mean political handcuffs, not the criminal kind. If trump wins but democrats control part of congress, then he will have a harder time pushing through legislation.

I was there, Gandalf, when we named hosts after your horse and didn’t pronounce the “dot” in “.com”

Came looking for zombo.com. Was not disappointed.

But then, zombo.com is the old Internet.

This sounds like a good solution. Can you share how you did it?

This feels like a First Follower problem.

He’s clearly on the right track, but the first steps have a lot of inertia holding them back. Also, is hard to act as a community when we’re looking for those first few leaders to do something on their own that we as individuals can get behind.

We need some frameworks for action. I don’t think we know what that looks like yet.

Obligatory Babylon 5 reference:

Careful. From all the B movies I’ve watched, I can tell that volcanoes have standards.

Fewer lists are probably better. I have several, but I only use the default reminders list and a grocery list called “grocery”

I have shared lists with my family for things like school and medical (grocery is shared too), but I’m the only one that looks at them, so I’ve quit using them.

If you have a lot of lists, then you’ll have to decide which list to add the reminder to, and that’s extra friction that you don’t want.

Look into Single Sign-On services (SSO) like Authelia, Authentik, or KeyCloak. Most SSO tools do the sorts of things you’re looking for. Some will talk to the native UNIX user store. I do agree with the others, though: if you’re this far along, then it’s time to spin up LDAP and SSO, but this might be the same tool in your case.

Amiga crew checking in. Now that was an amazing machine.

Donald means something like “ruler of the world,” so not far off.

Tie minimum wage to GDP/GNP, inflation, etc.

Tie congressional salaries to be a fixed multiple of minimum wage.

If congress wants more money, they have to make everyone’s situation better.

That’s one heck of a shower thought!

A lot of things are unspeakable until suddenly they’re not.

Right up front. This is our problem. We’re so concerned about how “the message will test,” or whether it will give the other side (whoever that is) ammunition, that we’ve become afraid to face the truth head on.

If we’re to recover from this spiral that we’re stuck in, we have to address this.

I mean, seriously! Have you people not watched The Adventures of Baron Munchausen?!

Projects like Anna’s Archive, Z-Library, and the rest need volunteers to create mirrors. If you understand the risks and are able to keep a mirror running long term (not easy work), please do it.

I first worked on one in a summer thing between high school and college - before Jurassic Park. That experience is what originally got me interested in the Internet.

Right now, I’m using Obsidian. I think I’d like to transition to keeping docs in a wiki, but I worry that it’s part of the self-hosted infrastructure. In other words, if the wiki’s down, I no longer have the docs that I need to repair the wiki.

iWax on … iWax off

Is there any way to get rss feeds directly from AP/Reuters any more?

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy
