I already have a pikapods.com account, which means I could run a nextcloud instance for about $7/month (to start, no idea how much it would be if I actually imported everything) and replace GMail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, etc. So, umm, maybe I don't need a guide, I just need willpower. The scariest thing is probably going through my password manager and figuring out EVERYWHERE I've used Login With Google and migrating those to a password. #lazyweb #degoogle #selfhosting #askfedi

Does anyone have a favorite guide for de-googling their lives? I’ve got a personal Google workspace account and I’ve lived with the ick long enough. Time to eject and go some combination of indie, open source and self-hosted. #lazyweb #degoogle #selfhosting #askfedi

RE: https://mas.to/@carnage4life/116969568867505760

My country is run by vain fragile men. Let's review:

  • The President is so vain, he can be bribed with gold trinkets large and small. The FIFA Medal of Peace. Qatar's "new" Air Force One.
  • The Secretary of Defense has a makeup studio IN HIS OFFICE yet removed women and people of color from the promotion list, and worships at the knee of a pastor who doesn't think women should vote.
  • Elon Musk is so racist and fragile he wants to create a "historically accurate" movie about a WORK OF FICTION.
  • Steven Miller thinks leftists are unattractive yet has somehow never once looked in a mirror at his Young Uncle Fester looking face.

People voted for this. People worship Elon. They hold signs and go to rallies supporting these assholes. I try not to hate anyone, but I hate them. I hate them more than I've ever hated anyone or anything in my entire life. They are so transparently weak, so fragile and incapable of handling dissent or opinions other than the ones that reflect back their own that I just don't see how people accept them as anything other than wretched and disgusting.

Racists, homophobes, transphobes, sexists, xenophobes... they're all scared. They say they believe in competition, but look at what they do. Every chance they get to create a level playing field, they tilt it in their favor. They're weak and terrified someone will tell them to their face.

Hello, network nerds, my ISP doesn’t provide a DHCP server in their modem and I have a fair number of devices that need static IPs. My needs are modest for my home network. I already have WiFi taken care of, I just need a thing that can sit between the modem and wifi to do DHCP and some static IPs and DNS and some security maybe. What should I get that’s not stupid expensive? #askfedi

@Bfordham@infosec.exchange I think the rules are more obvious and easy to spot in the South, honestly. They’re well-documented and everyone knows them. The euphemisms haven’t changed … ever? I think there’s an insidiousness in the more modern amorphous gatekeeping. It’s hard to point to. Maybe that’s just me not being as familiar with it.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/116909282718772203 There’s this politeness in whiteness that we expect from people outside of it that has to die. Dear fellow white people: we aren’t the decorum police. The thing we criticize the most in the GOP: the need to control everyone but themselves, we also do in all of the rules we unevenly apply to others. Let people live.

Separate from "Should we ban Black users for not being sufficiently happy that their abuser can't hurt them anymore" is the discourse around "Should Dem politicians say nice things about their 'colleagues' when they pass?" This is complicated, and tied in to the nature of racism in the US.

Do you work on code? Do you code with other people? Your main branch is a commons. If the build for main is broken, it's up to everyone to fix it. It doesn't matter who broke it. Save that discussion for the post mortem so you can figure out how they were able to break it, so you can fix it, so it doesn't happen again.

And celebrate whoever fixed it, because they performed a service to the community. Thank you for fixing the build for everyone!

And then celebrate that whoever broke it found a loophole, because loopholes are cool. Thank you for finding a weakness in the system!

And celebrate solving the mystery and closing the loophole, because solving mysteries with friends is awesome, and now your system is more resilient.

This isn't hard, and it should be fun. #team #software #fun #dammit #oldManShakesFistAtSky

@cwebber@social.coop Also, why is that making me tear up? Why?! Because the world is kind of shitty and any kind of joy is enough? Maybe, maybe that's it.
