I think we should maintain a state where this video isn’t available to watch since we’ve always done things this way.

No, but they attempted a hostile takeover in 2017 that looked close to succeeding before the President issued an executive order preventing it.

If this comes to pass, it’s remarkable to think about how close we might have come to a timeline where Broadcom acquired VMware, Qualcomm, and Intel.

A chill just went down my spine.

I can’t; I’m out of the loop with VPS providers. I think if I needed one nowadays I’d look at small providers located near me.

I was using Linode for my many web apps and self-hosting projects until fairly recently, but when Akamai rebranded them and raised prices I moved to a Hetzner dedicated host, which worked out cheaper with my workloads. I run everything in LXC containers, all of which join my Tailscale/Headscale tailnet, and all of which get backed up to both my local NAS and to rsync.net (using rclone’s crypt module).

I don’t know this host but hosts that will spin up single services like this for you are fairly common. Tons of people use them for Mastodon hosting.

I’d consider just using cloud hosting or getting a VPS though, with which you’ll be able to do much more.

Ah, the Lily58. I use one too, with Vilebloom keycaps.

I started with it after getting intermittent wrist and knuckle pain. Switching to the split ergo form factor eliminated it entirely, and the Lily turned rapidly into my very favourite board.

After Left Unity, Breakthrough, Peace and Justice, Social Justice Party, and Transform, I’m sure this one will work out.

More seriously, I’m glad they’re pursuing this. Everyone involved will be happier representing their views more authentically and Labour will be better off while freed from their influence, while the electorate will be presented a wider range of choices — and I suppose it’s possible they won’t make a pig’s ear of it and that the two-ish party rigidity of our system could be broken, serving our democracy for the better.

Looks like a win-win-win-win to me.

That El Reg links breaks this report much better than some other reporting. It projects a tripling of carbon emissions from bit barns by 2030, with 40% of that increase being due to construction and materials fabrication and 60% from their operation.

It’s about time. I understand the nuance at play, but it’s plainly absurd that Russia can fire Iranian weapons into Ukrainian territory but Ukraine can’t fire British weaponry into Russia.

I went through this journey looking for new providers recently after Proton started doing crypto shit. Tuta and Fastmail were the main recommendations, though the former has been accused of being a honeypot and the latter has really awful practices toward workers and unionisation.

I went with Migadu as a no-nonsense solution, and I’m over the moon with it.

As a big fan of decentralisation and federation, I was very tempted to try out Disroot, but I wasn’t ready to try it out with my main mailboxes. I’ll likely use it for any upcoming toy projects I embark on though.
