Side argument - why do you need protection from drug dealers? Just don't buy drugs from them if you don't want any.

Main argument: you bring up very important aspect - emotional one. We are very emotional and in the heat of the moment you probably won't be able to make good technical and reasonable case to persuade people, but that doesn't mean they are right.

Also I am not against _solutions_ to the problem. I am against solutions that when implemented have really low cost of switching them into tools of abuse.

Example: There is law that allows banning of websites (just DNS resolution) that promote gambling, illegal porn etc. It was recently used to "take down" a website that leaked emails of politicians of current government (it could be bad if we speak of some national security / military stuff, in that case they share info about corruption and nepotism)

What I remembered about github was that they started without office, without meeting in person and did everything remotely. Seems that at some scale everyone goes physical. It would be cool to see compilation of when in the companies growth they reach that point.

I want to start keeping a journal and by journal I mean having daily note with:

- In the morning: make a list of what I want/have to do - doesnt have to be exhaustive just write SOMETHING.

- TIL - "Today I learned" section with anything in it that caught my eye that day.

- At least 2 sentences about how I felt or experienced today

I am hoping this will help me being organized a bit more and maybe some of it will be usable in terms of publishing it on my website as fully fledged post or even just short note about cool stuff I found.

Plan is to not make any of this tiresome and to just create a habit out of it.

No, I use https://purelymail.com/ with my "own" domain. Happy with it so far (~2years?)

Oh but there is!

We went full circle! Maybe really next step will be some more personal and decentralized media.

What is the difference between shipping dependencies and shipping container? Thin layer of metadata? Or am I missing something?

I think this is artificially generated demand. I mean - yes people want bigger cars now but didn't use to. Then shift started happening. It is cheaper to build bigger car with more efficient lawnmower engine (because the bigger the car the more polluting it can be so by putting small engine in big car its easier to meet regulation). Only bigger cars started being offered, more of them appeared on the streets and now more people want bigger cars because it's safer to have the same sized car as most on the road.

I am not a writer or anyone but I have read quite a few questions from https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/

any examples of such filters?

Why not just tax the tires? Seems like they are good indicator on how much you are using roads and how many miles you drove etc. (Safety maybe an argument. Don't do it so people don't drive on shitty old ones)

> If you dial 911, airplane mode is immediately turned off for the call to go through and stays off until you turn it back on.

I didn't know that, that's really smart and so simple. I like it. I don't know why such trivial thing is so amazing to me.

So this adds swimlines like they were for a long time in https://wekan.github.io/ ?

Disagree. Selling devices that you don't own and you cannot control (ie disalbe WiFi chip so tracking is not possible) should be the illegal part.

or argument *for* inter-op of those platforms (reducing network effects of monopolies)

It won't be named license mind you. For cycling mandatory insurance will be probably implemented very soon. For walking? I believe it will be a very long time until some license is needed. One idea I can think of is that maybe the government issued ID will be actually a tracker/payment/smartphone thingy.

> Taxing by distance actually taxes road use rather than fuel exhaustion

Tax the tires then.

If they implemented it using only external tracking like cameras or actual people then I could be ok with it, but hell no trackers (or mandatory software) that I have no control of in MY car.

I am using [librephotos](https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos) and searching for objects/things/faces 'works' it is not great and objects is miles behind google, but it makes job done for me.

Thats brilliant, something like that but weekly and pushed to my ereader would be great.

Few comments here mention that if you don't like your current provider you can easily switch - take your data with you. I think the problem of "not everyone wants to run things, everybody wants to use them" could be solved if we make our data fluid with something like IPFS (note: _something like_). What I mean is you can have data in multiple places a none is central one (discovery could be local, through friends and hubs etc. like SSB). You could have it on some federated server, on your local pc and if your provider misbehaves your data is still accesible from other places and moving it is no longer manual process where you have to click export, import etc. just login to other provider and that new service will pull your data from wherever it is accessible.

I don't know if I am making any sense :D Please be forgiving.

tl;dr; right now you address someone by nick@matrix.server or nick@mastodon.instance - we should be going in direction of adressing people using only _nick@service_ (or just _nick_) and dont care where the actual content is

Hi I am using https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos not as feature-full as you would like but it is file-based. For my needs (which is to serve photos that get backed up from my phone) it works. It has a map, recognizes faces, tags etc. Really hard to find software that uses files these days.

My opinion so far is that a lot of people buy Ladas (Niva to be exact) with expectation of it being an offroader. It is not. It is a SUV and when used like usually SUVs are - it isnt as unreliable as some people make it.

I think they are around the "good-tech" level, similar to late 90's / early 2000 cars. Just enough to get you going economically and comfortably but without tech intruding your ride with some infotainment, updates or window slide button in some weird place or with touch control.

I would recommend checking out Dacia and Lada (coincidentally now both are now under Renault group)

https://www.renaultgroup.com/en/our-company/our-brands/dacia... https://www.renaultgroup.com/en/our-company/our-brands/lada/

Briar is p2p/offgridy/meshnety and Matrix is federated, always on internet connected.

For calendar I would say: https://github.com/39aldo39/DecSync + https://syncthing.net/ and for sharing with someone you would run some web client on VPS talking to https://github.com/39aldo39/Radicale-DecSync

You actually should be able to access it using IPFS at/ipns/torrent-paradise.ml or /ipns/12D3KooWB3GY1u6zMLqnf3MJ8zhX3SS1oBj7VXk3xp6sJJiFGZXp but it seems that clicking search throws an JS error :/

That requires you to have always on, central server running and stroing things. Devices running syncthing are run as equals. (or they can be configured not to be)

One cool feature is also encrypted syncing where some nodes dont even have the key (ie VPS syncs but doesnt know what it syncs, and only your devices have the key)
