Idk what this post is about, but I love it.

I wonder if its because LUKS encryption is not specifically related to self hosting in general, but more of a c/privacy thing? But I'm just having a guess. And I think your question is valid, because many self hosters will obviously be interested in how to do self-hosting in a privacy conscious way. I'd say CLM based on available info.

It was a satirical take on what people like Trump and Birchall freely accuse "illegal" immigrants of being/doing, to justify their imprisonment and deportation.

I just think it's important for folks to know they have a fascist living in their community, similar to how a pedophile register works. For the record, I don't wish any physical harm to come to him. I just think its important to expose and keep an eye on fascists who do wish harm on whole swathes of society. Much as fascists don't give a damn about the privacy of regular citizens who might oppose their plans (e.g. ICE using Flock cameras for domestic surveillance, or basically anything the NSA does), I don't see why rich fascists should get special consideration wrt their privacy, especially when it comes to publicly available info like court records.

Jared Birchall is Elon Musk's right hand man. He controls Elon Musk's family foundation and is in charge of hiring bodyguards to protect Elon. He is one of the very few people that Elon Musk trusts.

With his wife Laura, he lives in Austin, Texas.

According to public documents, they are located at 16715, Destiny Cove, Austin, TX 78738-7421.

[Original image of family removed]

Donald Trump falsely said migrant families living in Springfield, Ohio, were stealing pets and eating cats and dogs.

Elon Musk amplified these lies on X.

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/18/media/elon-musk-trump-rally-bomb-election-misinformation

As a result, these families received thousands death threats.

https://www.npr.org/2024/09/19/nx-s1-5114047/springfield-ohio-haitian-migrants-trump-safety-concerns

Jared Birchall laughed about it. He absolutely loved it. His lovely wife Laura Birchall thought this was very funny.

Jared is obsessed about his privacy. He doesn't want anyone to know who he is.

Free speech absolutism baby.

You can report any comments you think are not following the site rules, as someone did with yours.

Did some part of my comment below fail to register? What part of anarchist theory is incompatible with using technology? We aren't the Amish. What's the ethical problem with using free and open source, locally run models? There isn't one. And anarchists aren't concerned about copyright - that's an invention of capitalism. I know it's a popular bandwagon issue but there's no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater just because corporations are abusing the technology. Corporations are inherently malicious, they abuse every technology to increase profit. The issue is capitalism, not AI.

Yeah there is absolutely no requirement to be an AI fan in general, especially of the corporate variety. Fuck all the venture capitalists (e.g., Altman, Musk) who are perfectly happy to crash the economy and rape the environment just to get disgustingly rich.

I'll refer you to my previous comments on that topic, above. Also note this instance was setup from day one with genAI communities. A lot of them are generated by the AI Horde, an open source distributed AI network that is one of db0's other projects. So that's why we want admins who are comfortable with having those genAI communities on the instance.

Hi mateys,

We are currently recruiting for people who are able to volunteer some of their time each day to help out with site admin tasks. You don't need to have any special skills or technical qualifications, but there are a few other requirements listed below. We'd also prefer applicants who are active posters, and/or who have actively participated in our Matrix channels.

This recruitment drive is to ensure we maintain a good level of admin coverage throughout the day, so that reports and applications can be dealt with quickly.

I would also totally understand if you prefer to apply privately, so you always have the option of sending me or one of the other admins a PM.

I'm re-using db0's previous admin application text below, with just a few edits where needed:

If you are interested, these are the full requirements:

Requirements

  • You must be an anarchist, and enthusiastically endorse the instance policies and our anarchist code of conduct. For example this means we also expect you to also be pro-piracy and not hostile to GenAI.
  • You must have been on this instance for at least 3 months, to ensure you understand our culture. Hopefully you've been a lemmy poster as well as we expect our admins to dogfood our service. If you were already a comm admin, even better!
  • We are still prioritizing women and/or PoC to reinforce our team's diverse perspectives. So please apply if you are even if you think you might not qualify.
  • At this point we are prioritizing timezones and countries outside of Europe and the USA to help us get better coverage and better perspectives.
  • You must be willing to use matrix as this is where we organize our instance and our real-time admin chat.
  • You must be willing to keep an eye on reports and applications throughout the day.

What is expected of you

  • We have a fairly chill community around this place, so it's not too demanding. The time requirements are not too large and we will keep expanding the team to ensure the load per individual admin remains low. So long as using this instance is your primary social media, the "workload", such as it is, shouldn't even be noticable.
  • Initiative is encouraged. It's cool enough for people to just want to help us keep this place tidy, but if you have ideas, you will be free to put them into action directly without asking permission all the time, so long as we can rollback easily.
  • You should have a anarchist democratic mindframe. We don't need a voting decision on everything (just do direct action), but you should be willing to be judged on your decisions and roll them back if they are unpopular.
  • Remember that while we're anarchist-flavored, we're not just for anarchists. So we understand that many of our users might be liberals or otherwise misguided. On top of that, we make a point of welcoming neurodivergent people who don't always understand social norms and might phrase things in a way that looks really bad when interpreted uncharitably. As such, we want to help people match our values, without turning a misunderstanding into a hostile experience through heavy-handed actions. So a softer hand and charitability is encouraged, while at the same time being firmly against clearly reactionary takes.

Applying

  • You can leave your comments here, which can allow other members of this comm to vouch for you.
  • Please mention your "credentials" and why you think you would make a good member of the team.
  • If you don't feel comfortable with sharing info, you can reach out to me on matrix or PMs (or another admin you feel more comfortable with).

Spectating

If you're just watching this governance thread, feel free to upvote applications you feel are worthy, and/or comment on people you want to vouch for. If you're a supporter, remember you can also vouch for people directly through a threativore PM.

Update: Matrix homeserver is back up

Hi all,

As you are probably aware, Matrix is currently (slowly) trying to restore its massive database from backups.

In the meantime I've created a temp matrix room for folks to join.

https://matrix.to/#/#dbzer0:tchncs.de

If your matrix account is based on Matrix's homeserver (like mine is) you'll have to signup for a new matrix account on a working server. I just picked tchncs.de at random.
