SO what do you buy for food and where do you buy it?

With your focus on calories per dollar, do you also get supplements? Which ones and where?

Why are you so focused on this?

Have you not seen the videos of people doing the nazi salute?

Marches of masked men with flags bearing nazi symbols?

Perhaps you have heard of deployment of military inside the country used for oppression?

Seizing people without hapeas corpus? And then deporting citizens without any criminal record at all?

That is awesome!

We have registered as a non-profit as “AntiFascist Foundation” and should finalize our paperwork this week.

Please note that since the goal is social activism, we are a 501c4 and donations may not be tax deductible.

We also would love any help on the design or messaging - any help would be greatly appreciated. Contact me and you can be part of the project

opendomain··on Funding Open Source like public infrastructure
I forgot to mention - I won the lottery! I won the 2nd prize of the recent Powerball - $50,000 and I am donating it to the new AntiFascist foundation.

I am NOT rich. This money could have a significant impact on my life. But I wanted to help others and so I am showing my commitment to fight for Freedom.

I have run OpenDomain for 25 years and have contributed domains to Open Source worth millions all for Free. I am ending that project to fight the rise of fascism.

I welcome ANY help or criticism - https://Antifascist.org

opendomain··on Funding Open Source like public infrastructure
I agree completely.

20 years ago I gave Dries the domain Drupal.com for free to support open source.

I recently gave the domain MrBeast.org to Beast Philanthropy.

But more important than Open Source is Freedom. I recently acquired the domain antifascist.org to fight the rise of fascism. This will be a website to share information on protecting your loved ones - it will be open source in that everyone can contribute.

I welcome anyone that wants to help - send an email or use the contact form on the website.

It may be that they are speeding it up by keeping the .net runtime resident in memory. They used to do this with Visual Basic runtime

I ran norton utilities on my pc yesterday and noticed a new service - it was .net runtime. Please note that I am a developer so this may be just to help launch the tools.

opendomain··on Looking for a Cofounder
Unfortunately, as you are a minor, most real people can not talk with you. You should be very careful if anyone reaches out to you - they may be a predator.

On top of that, most people will not take you seriously, as you are young.

I suggest you find someone of a similar age at school or a local event. Another suggestion is to ask an older family member to help keep you safe.

Last suggestion: just build it.

I want you to know that I believe you can do it.

opendomain··on Matt Mullenweg: I feel jdevalk stabbed me when I was down, betrayed confidence
I gave the domain Wordpress.com to Matt 20 years ago. This domain is worth millions according to some estimators online, but I gave it to him for Free to support open source.

He then sued me and I lost my job, my house, and almost my marriage.

I do not think anyone could hate Matt more than I did. I went to therapy for years, but eventually learned forgiveness.

I am confused about what is going on with Wordpress. It does look like Matt is acting like a dick.

But I am not sure he is wrong.

Matt may have a right to protect Wordpress - FOR THE COMMUNITY. It looks like Matt’s post is about being betrayed. I know how that feels.

I love open source. I am confident that we will learn from this, and hopefully Wordpress community will be able to move on.

opendomain··on Ask HN: Is there any way I can create an NFT from scratch?
Please look at Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/NFT/

Usually, if a stranger is asking for you to mint an NFT, they trying to scam you.

If this was just a suggestion from a friend on how you might be able to make money with your art, then I may be able to help.

I can walk you through the process - for free! I own a patent on NFTs and am always willing to help.

opendomain··on How to make a Censor Resistant Website
How can I make a website censor resistant?

I am the founder of OpenDomain - a non-profit project I have run for 20 years that has contributed domains worth millions to charities and non profits to support open source. I have given domains to Google, OsCon, Fosdem, Jabber, Brenden Eich, Drupal, and the W3c.

One of the domains I have is http://fascist.com/ - I want someone to use it to support anti-fascist movement.

The problem is that this site may criticize some of the most powerful people in the world.

How do I set it up to be censor resistant? How do I vet people to help? How do I protect users to allow open dialogue?

I used to respect National Geographic.

I came to this site to read the story, but they wanted my email first.

I get it - they worked to produce this content and now they wanted to track me so they could get better advertising revenue.

But I was not interested in the story that I wanted to give my private info, so I decided to go back.

Unfortunately, it appears as if National Geographic is using a dark pattern to try to force people to enter an email - the page would not let me browse away.

opendomain··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
I am working on a new type of NFTs.

I found a way to add code to NFTs. The simplest way to understand it is that it is similar to Adobe flash.

I know that NFTs are down, but I have invented a way to add actual utility. I call them xNFTS - executable non fungible tokens. Imagine the famous Ape or Penguin NFTs - by adding my technology, the NFTs can change images, play music, or play games without installing anything.

I got a patent on the process and they work on any blockchain- or even off. the market is down, but I am very excited about tying web2 with web3.

If anyone wants to join or learn more, let me know

I am confused.

Doesn't Node already run Javascript on the server? What value is this library?

opendomain··on Ask HN: What downsides for replacing WiFi with an unlimited mobile hotspot?
Phone data service is not really unlimited- they will throttle after a while.

Also, the data latency and packet size are much worse over mobile networks.
