Releasing a #pattern #zine “Fledermaus” a #sewing pattern for two stuffed bats! You can view it at http://ruthtillman.com/patterns & either print your own or buy one of mine as it came off the copier! (they’re $3 plus s&h costs, which’s $1 US and ask me about elsewhere. Printing is free.) #bats

every day im increasingly convinced that the best and indeed the only way to learn to do something, is to do it, and keep doing it as much as you can

datacenters do not imbue computers with special powers. if you own a desktop less than a decade old, congrats! you already own a server more than capable of hosting any and/or all of these:

- #gogs
- #nextcloud
- #pleroma
- #rocketchat
- #discourse
- #prestashop
- #funkwhale
- #hugo
- #radicale
- #standardnotes
- #prosody
- #wallabag
- #wordpress
- #etherpad
- #dokuwiki
- #ttrss
- #kanboard
- #pixelfed
- #loomio
- #pihole
- #taiga
- #kodi
- #searx
- #homeassistant
- #znc

(for free, forever)

centralization issues aside, why do people pay for hosting in the first place? you don't need a rack server to host something only used by yourself and some friends.

most 'cloud' services are not compute-bound. a 'server' is just an always-on computer that stores data you want to access over the network. i doubt your vps's util ever cracks 10%.

why pay for a vps each month when your core2duo desktop from 2009 can easily handle hosting 10 different services simultaneously for free, forever?

Please enjoy these #cats from the cat rescue event yesterday. 😺

Boost this toot if you've ever been wage theft-ed.

"The personal, as everyone’s so fucking fond of saying, is political. So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, take it personally. Get angry. The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here – it is slow and cold, and it is theirs, hardware and soft-. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide from under it with a wink and a grin. If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them. Make it personal. Do as much damage as you can. Get your message across. That way, you stand a better chance of being taken seriously next time. Of being considered dangerous. And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous marks the difference - the only difference in their eyes - between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life and that it’s nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal."
