Some lucky person will get my gold fillings. Those are my only implants.

I have never understood why people make so much work and waste around dead carcasses. When it is time for me to die and I am able, I want to get myself onto one of the hills around here. I want the condors, coyotes, and other creatures to h

I see. I manage my own instance. Hopefully they will get you to 25 soon to see this: https://nextcloud.com/blog/press_releases/nextcloud-hub-3-re...

George Orwell's Animal Farm portrays it well. Most people are sheeplike and follow the herd. After you are fattened up, you are led into the meat grinder.

Photoprism is good. Have you upgraded to NC 25 and photos 2.0? It is a massive improvement, and you can use Recognize app for auto tagging your photos using facial and other object recognition.

That is a good story. My shed is in the corner of the yard. I physically walk my backup drive back and forth once a week and keep it in a box unconnected to any electrical. Call me a cheapskate, but I don't mind.

I use a Raspberry PI 4B with some MVNE drives. The power consumption is somewhere between 2 and 10 W. I have an extra RPI and backups. Hetzner does have good pricing and is easier for most people than running own HW.

I describe it as best in class rather than best of breed. Having one instance of Nextcloud rather than a bunch of different containers for the different functions is easier to maintain and backup. I don't know when you tested these app

If comparing on costs, hosting it on home HW is by far the best way to go. I run Rsync and keep the backup in my shed so it is off-site. Nextcloud provides way more than data backups. It is best in class for personal internet services. My f

I love Neocities. When I killed my corporate social media accounts, I bought my domain and pointed it to my neocities page. When people ask me, how do I find you? I tell them, "Instead of typing facebook.com in the bar on the top of th

When I compare the flying, scurrying, and perennially seeding creatures sharing this coastal land to my partner with a mortgage, doctors, and daily Amazon deliveries, I know who will better adapt to the sea rise that will flood our house.

The company may not have recorded any profit, but the founders and other equity holders can leverage or sell that equity worth $15B.

The Palestinians there are probably the most heavily surveilled people in the world. These remote controlled turrets are the next level of the panopticon. Whether they are are being manned or not, the effect is chilling if I put myself in t

The Milgrim study was not quite as bad as it seemed or was reported. A substantial proportion of the "torturers" had figured out that it was not real. Several more protested that it was wrong. Those who did continue were convinced

I watched Mudge's testimony to congress as well. Just because half the employees could access sensitive information, it does not mean that many did. Those who did funneled it to a few unless I missed a major online dump somewhere. Musk

This account is a timely reminder of the power of kompromat. With so many politicians having used Twitter and other platforms, I am a bit concerned about how much power certain tech moguls now hold over them. Combining this with campaign co

Perhaps the same places that rent out bear cans can offer rental Iphones for those of us who normally only carry anonymous phones with burner SIMs.

I think you are touching on the aspects of scale (how much data collected) and harm (how it is used against us). Another important aspect is time since the older the data is, the less valuable it is to corporations and governments. Debate

Yes and Palantir is deeply embedded into many US government agencies. They are somewhat protected by this, but they may need to slim down to justify the bailouts they might receive.

You are generally right that most of those proprietary products and platforms track you to different degrees. They are not transparent about how they use it. I can attest that many of have been off all of these for years other than when we

What Apple does with all the data they collect may be one of the best guarded secrets in the world. Assuming they invest heavily to collect the valuable data and do not use it for financial or power gain does not make any sense.

I sympathize. It is probably the most difficult ecosystem to get out of. Nextcloud was one of the most important pieces of software for some I know who got off of Apple. You can setup your own private cloud or use a community server you tru

That is the first significant rise of ocean level after hitting some tipping points that cause massive glacier break aways and ice melt. Kim Stanley Robinson depicted it in New York 2140 which describes life there after many of these pulses

A wealth tax would solve a lot of issues debated here. The schedule of giveaway and distribution could be democratically determined.

His wealth has greatly increased. In retrospect, his donations look more like tax advantaged investments.

Based on what I see, my estimate is by 2030, but nobody really knows when we will see the first pulse.

Not to mention the flooding of coastal cities and other land made uninhabitable and unproductive for farming as we have already hit some tipping points. Buckle up for some societal collapse.

Because it is unlikely this data will ever become a common good available to all, we can use creative ways to poison it. For example, I buy things for me under the kids names and have my partner use my card to buy things for herself. I only
