@farfalk Datacenters are concentrations of power. Anytime a datacenter is involved, it's a sign of power centralization. The rise of datacenters corresponds with the death of p2p and other visions of a more decentralized internet.

New blog post: Zines for allotmenters

The beginnings of me making a collection of resources for my #allotment community.

@greytheearthling cooooool!!!

This post is awesome, and I predict aftermarket shops offering to remove car surveillance to spring up in the next few years.

It shouldn't be necessary, but it is.

Removing the Modem and GPS from my 2024 RAV4 Hybrid

Modern cars are computers on wheels that send home nonstop telemetry about you. In this post I remove my 2024 RAV4 Hybrid's modem and GPS to prevent that :)

@bobthetraveler - Are these the toilets that are cleaned in the movie "Perfect Days"?

Perfect Days

Hirayama is content with his life as a toilet cleaner in Tokyo. Outside of his structured routine, he cherishes music on cassette tapes, books, and taking photos of trees. Through unexpected encounters, he reflects on finding beauty in the world.

@zackwhittaker - Everyone is worried about the next stuxnet, but OT / ICS devices often have default creds or... as you point out... no creds...

And yes! The system is airgapped from the IT network! We only access it from the internet!!!! 😑

@da_667 - I mean, those are perfect benchmarks. The big thing to take to heart is that weight is just one measure, but it measures a lot more than just fat. Muscle weighs more than fat. So a plateau of weight may indicate fat loss and muscle gain, for example.

@startmail @lukalobster - I saw that! I think that's awesome. It works really well for businesses and non-profits that pull in money.

We're a small neighborhood group that doesnt bring in any money, so anything more than $10 or $20 USD a month is unaffordable. Any overhead comes out of our own pockets - usually just a couple co-organizers.

So it probably won't work for us.

We're probably looking at going with Migadu or Mxroute as they offer a flat fee for unlimited users. They focus on email input and output. We need multiple users but we don't send or receive a lot of emails. Rather, we'll get three or four emails a month and it needs to be viewable by many many people so that any one person who has extra time in that moment can action on it. So many users (with multiple aliases/groups) / low email count business model.

But dang does your offering look great!

"Balcony solar is one of the hottest ideas in renewable energy right now. Boosters say the systems — DIY kits that can be plugged right into a standard outlet — save users money without any need for subsidies, government incentives, or utility permission.

About half the states in the U.S. are considering legislation to pave the way for residents to adopt plug-in solar and start generating some of their own electricity from their own backyard or porch."

Where does balcony solar stand in your state?

Dozens of states are considering legislation to allow residents to use DIY plug-in solar. Follow the efforts here.

@da_667 - Indeed! Especially as you build
muscle, you may even start gaining weight.

As you are actively working out, are you using other methods of measurement? Body fat calipers, tape measures, etc?
