I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

Forgejo: A self-hosted lightweight software forge

so hrtcafe.net went down due to a coordinated terf/far-right action.

and so this is as good a time as it gets to make even more mirrors of https://git.gay/hrt/pages/ (or the github repo this is a mirror of already, if you want to touch github).

clone it, set a cronjob to do a pull every week. set up a web view like https://hrt.soap.systems if you have the means to do so and the willingness to deal with potential terf interference.

trying to shut down online resources hosted by annoyed transfems, that’s totally going to work and have the intended effect, right?

edit: people are asking if I know what actually happened, what kind of attack it was and such.

I didn’t see a lot of confirmed info about it (and didn’t really look too hard either), but judging by what I’ve read so far, I’m assuming a combination of doxxing, pestering the hosting and threatening legal harassment.

supposedly the person who hosted it took it down themselves to get the heat off of them - and I can’t blame them, that’s reasonable, no one doing this should ever feel expected to stand up to being personally targeted. that’s what we have a community for. they can back off to ensure their own safety, while we deploy a hundred more mirrors.

The legacy of Mueller is that if you do diligent methodical careful work on a damning report, trusting to our institutions to do the right thing, damned liars will just tell damned lies about your work and the lies will stand, because institutions won't confront power and nobody does the reading.

This gives me flashbacks! I was using SuSE back then and my desktop looked like this, but of course with my own custom wallpaper.
