The US… Self contained…

Is that marketing or is it just finding stuff they want to own?

“So I named it after the Lionel Richie song because of how I bought it. The Credibility Queen.”

“Do you mean Caribbean Queen?”

“…fuck!”

As I understand it’s actually three unfired casings.

They don’t want colonies either I don’t think. I believe they want a disparate collection of democratic players to be at odds because “they” is Russia and when democracy is away, Russia will play.

Using the Ecobee thermostat, I use the built in weather module in Home Assistant to give local weather data to the system. In summer, I set it up to watch for the lowest overnight temps via forecast, and trigger on the lowest temperatures we’d see. Then I’d drop the house temp to 66 or 64 degrees when the AC had to do the least amount of work. Then I’d use the basement air to keep the upstairs cool enough and use the AC as little as possible.

My last house was old and had some drafts I couldn’t find. So in the winter, if the weather turned to windy I’d increase the temp a degree or two for comfort.

They have no training at all for anything but they’ve got so much tacticool shit. It counts for nothing but they’ve got that.

My guess is that Stephen Miller knows that Vance can’t hold three pieces of paper together and will try to ramp up martial law to retain power. Which they don’t have the manpower to do without the actual military who likely would not follow such orders. The national guard would likely start doing malicious compliance at best and ICE flat out doesn’t have enough people to control blocks of a city let alone the country. I can’t even imagine where things would go from there.

I will check that out, thank you!

Anything that you’re aware of that will also strip out the 28 minutes of commercials in a 36 minute podcast?

You are correct, Graphene only runs on Pixel phones. I know there’s a few open mobile OS options out there but I’ve not spent any time researching them. There is a very good chance if you absolutely need an identification, then you can’t get away from Android. Hopefully someone else sees your comment and has an answer.

I wouldn’t self host email. But I would pay for a host and get away from Gmail. Wait until Black Friday and get free/cheap services from a bunch of places. Maybe even proton if you’re okay with them. Also, using your own domain for email is pretty cool (to me).

You’ve got some good suggestions, I think most of the suggestions I can think of. Nextcloud is of course the big one but after using it for quite a while, I think it’s important to break down your needs. If you need file sharing/syncing only, there are better options that are easier and faster. If you only need chat/voice, rocket chat is really lightweight and easy. If you need file sharing, online office suite, chat, etc. Then Nextcloud is the right option. Just keep in mind, even if you think you need some of those things, will anyone but you ever actually use them? No, they won’t, because they don’t appreciate how cool it is to self host and how much effort you put into it.

I don’t know myself, but Graphene OS (on Google Pixel phones) has a pretty impressive sandbox layer for the play store and the apps it installs. It might be worth looking into if you’re not aware of it currently. (But if you’re aware of the Fairphone, I’m guessing you probably know about Graphene).

I will help hand hold anyone who wants to build servers or services (to the best of my ability) to replace Google services with their own.

Well that’s just a full fucking win.

Perfect place for a prison. The residents have been trying to escape the state for years.

Look at all the layoffs they’ve been able to implement with the mere threat that AI has taken their jobs. It’s very profitable, just not in a sustainable way. But sustainability isn’t the goal. Feudal state mindset in the populace is.
