@aral Hetzner will become more expensive on April 1. 😕

New prices: https://docs.hetzner.com/general/infrastructure-and-availability/price-adjustment

They say explicitly it's because RAM and SSDs have become unreasonably expensive and they can no longer stem the costs.

Ok, one more last thing but this is really it. If your local organizing communities are offering de-escalation training, take them up on it. It's a great way to get involved and learn skills you may use in the rest of your life too, and it can be very very important when it comes to keeping yourself safe — as much as the rest of all this. Now, I'm not gonna pretend that talking down a Nazi who's actively trying to kill you is going to work, or is a remotely good idea — that's not how we deal with Nazis — but there are still plenty of cases where it can make a difference, including, critically, helping to diffuse tensions inside the broad and important but potentially awkward coalitions that we may find ourselves working within these days, so that the real work can continue.

UK PEOPLE: this is REALLY IMPORTANT. If the government bans under-16s from using VPNs, then logically they must intend to REQUIRE AGE VERIFICATION FOR ALL VPN USE. Which will affect adults too!

If you write about the messy reality behind "free" internet services: we're seeing #OpenStreetMap hammered by scrapers hiding behind residential proxy/embedded-SDK networks. We're a volunteer-run service and the costs are real. We'd love to talk to a journalist about what we're seeing + how we're responding. #AI #Bots #Abuse

Ég veit að framboðið er meiri en eftirspurnin eftir skrýtnum fréttum úr Ameríkuhreppi þessa dagana, en samt:

Hvernig stendur á því að ungir [hvítir, massaðir, herskáir] menn sem gerðu það að sporti að neita að vera með grímur í COVID, setja óhikað á sig grímur af því þeir fá að leika gervihermenn í ICE ???

Vissulega eru einhverjir sem finnst búningarnir flottir og hrífast af einföldum táknmyndum, en er ekki búið að ganga í gegnum þetta áður?

From slogans to uniforms – the Nazification of ICE shouldn’t be underestimated

History may not repeat itself, but it echoes, and the 1930s taught us why symbolism matters. Fascism did not arrive with a single marching column, says historian Guy Walters, it arrived by making brutality feel normal, even noble. You don’t have to hear jackboots to recognise the direction of travel – the signs are everywhere

Swastikas, nooses, and the confederate flag are not hate symbols according to the Trump regime’s U.S. Coast Guard.

‘A Coast Guard official who had seen the new wording called the policy changes chilling. “We don’t deserve the trust of the nation if we’re unclear about the divisiveness of swastikas,” the official said….’
