It's a slur for people of color from way back in the day.
I stumbled upon this by watching Sigrid's 9front videos, pretty cool little laptop :)
Most cloud hosts aren't sniffing around in your VMs/containers
You would be surprised, especially the ones in the five eyes countries or whatever.
As long as the people using your home server aren't messaging people or chatting in rooms from other home servers (aka you've disabled federation) and you can trust your cloud provider not to snoop around, yea, it's a fairly decent solution. Even with disk encryption like LUKS or your file system's built-in encryption, if your cloud provider wanted, they could just dump the memory of your VM and find the password/encryption keys that way.
Even if it's open-source and free software, unless they're hosting it themselves, Loomio still has access/control over all your data. Also, hosting it yourself is just much cheaper. Looking at their website, the cheapest plan they have is still $300/year and you can only have 30 members, which is outrageous in my opinion. You can get a cheap cloud server with decent storage space that you could host it yourself on for like $10/month and have unlimited users.
I run it at least once every couple of hours if I'm sitting at my desktop, not sure why, it's just something I do. Gentoo made me give up that habit because compiling packages takes a bit, but me and Gentoo are taking a break from one another, maybe one day...
A huge win for democracy

Decorative tiles made by American and Soviet school children from the Seattle-Tashkent Peace Park in the former Uzbek SSR

You can actually see a bunch of these tiles in Seattle's Tashkent Park still to this day, though they're not as well preserved as the ones in Tashkent which is a shame because a few of the ones I saw in pictures were really wholesome.

New Windows driver blocks software from changing default web browser automagically
(www.bleepingcomputer.com)
Long story short: That pop-up you get when you open Firefox (or whatever other browser) for the first time asking you if you want to make it your default browser won't work anymore. They're forcing you to go through their convoluted control panel where you have to change it like 20 times for each file extension.
