I got this response from a 70+ Catholic Priest. Quite literally nothing in this world is sacred or real anymore.

The people who voted him in are completely underwater in an ocean of perceived victimhood and exist in a state of existential distress and panic. Trump’s followers and the MAGA movement aren’t guided by morals or any particular set of virtues or personal conviction. They are victims of a culture war of their own creation and they are losing. They equate a the takeover of a sane government and righting-of-the-ship with death. They are not guided by logic or reason, they’re guided by fear.

You can’t look at these people and think “What’s it going to take?” As if there is some line somewhere that could be crossed that will change their minds. Thats not an option in the table. If saner heads prevail once again, it’s an indictment of their behavior and it means the death of the culture they’ve tried so hard to save. You wouldn’t look at a scared, cornered animal and ponder what it will take for it to stop being hostile.

On the other hand, it’s important to understand that the people who elevated this regime to power are not representative of “The American People” as a whole, and the American system of government was not designed to put the full faith of the people into the president for an entire term. The fact that the midterms are happening this year, halfway through the presidents term is not a coincidence, it’s a design baked into our system of government because the framers of the constitution understood that public sentiment can and will change more often than once every four years. And while it’s too early to know for sure, you can take solace in the fact that “the American people” have seemingly swung hard away from Trump since 2024, likely as a direct response to this administration, the same as last time.

To be quite honest if IPads could just run Mac OS apps on it, it would be a dynamite device and I wouldn’t have even bought my MacBook. I bought an IPad for note taking, and basic work tasks I can do via SSH. The lack of desktop app support was the only thing that thing couldn’t do handily.

I can only speak on America

A hard coded DNS means nothing when it’s not connected to the internet

An important thing to understand here is that in America, the people have the power over their government. The people of California are responsible for putting the people who did this in power, and it’s their responsibility for getting them out again.

Either way you’re just going over the internet. There will be overhead, but not enough to be that big a deal.

We still blaming basic OpSec mistakes on Proton?

Idk man by the sounds of it, the AI implemented the entire back end change, adding 14k lines of generated code. The dev doesn’t even seem confident with his own testing. Sounds like it’s closer to the vibe-coded end of the scale to me.

I’ve been meaning to give Ntfy a shot but now I likely won’t. If I wanted a vibe coded project I’d just do it myself.

There’s a big difference between “AI was used in some capacity” and “Entirely vibe coded”

Every single government works this way. Court orders are not optional.

I imagine they got courts and lawyers and motions and hearings and stuff over there, even if the fight is doomed you need to show your teeth once in a while.

That’s not how it works. They can’t just refuse to comply with a lawful order from a judge. They could be put in actual jail. This affects all email providers.

You cannot put up a fight when ordered to do something by a judge who has jurisdiction over you. You either comply or you’re committing a crime.

They’re not shilling for Proton you’re just not understanding that using Mailbox will not protect you from what happened with Proton in the article.

Easy come easy go?

You can self host the Tailscale server via Headscale.

Streamlining mostly.

Well, no.

Just dedicate a part of your day to self improvement and when you fulfill that time each day allow yourself to relax. If you spend just 30 minutes to an hour each day to something productive you’re ahead of the game already. Even if you theoretically dedicated every non-working or sleeping hour in your day to building or learning something, you have to understand that there’s only so much you can absorb and retain in a day, only so much energy your body has, and only so much stress your endocrine system can take. Your body and brain need downtime in order to actually commit those things you learned to memory, to replenishing your energy stores for the next day, for flushing the cortisol from your bloodstream.

Those “Get up at 5 am every day and run” types aren’t telling you about the fact that even bodybuilders aren’t going 100% all out every single day. Your muscles grow when you rest and sleep, not while you’re at the gym. If you don’t fit both of these things into your life you won’t get anywhere.

That’s a shame because Lidl is the only affordable grocery store to begin with around here.
