I'm tired boss. This governmental fight against privacy all over the world is wearing down my willingness to be on the internet at all.
Now is a great time to invest some time and effort into offline hobbies, whether they be on your computer or otherwise. Limiting or eliminating your time online these days is just a straight net gain for your mental health, especially if you can fill that gap with some other fulfilling activity.
I am already self-hosting Matrix for my friend group. I suppose where just gonna move more and more stuff onto there. Doesn't fix the issue, but you don't have to go quietly.
I'm self hosting my own xmpp server. Feels good.
That’s what they want. The internet is open information and that jeopardizes the power of powerful people. Can’t be having that. So they’ll continue to try and break the internet until they get their way.
