With the recent willingness of the US Government to pressure its tech agencies into revealing user data without a proper judicial warrant, weâve decided itâs overdue for us migrate away from Cloudflare.
It seems that a lot of new people have learned about these platforms from a popular post on Reddit. We currently see 78 notifications (and counting) and a pile of applications on piefed.ca too many registration applications for me to keep this up to date.
Zohran Mamdani has won the race for New York City mayor, according to Decision Desk HQ, ushering in a new era of progressive politics in the city and reigniting the debate over the Democratic Partyâs future.
I donât read r/conservative much but what Iâve seen is they keep banning actual conservatives because they correctly call out what Trump is doing on things where itâs not about left and right but right and wrong.
Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City on Tuesday, capping a stunning ascent for the 34-year-old state lawmaker, who was set to become the cityâs most liberal mayor in generations.
At least 13 people were injured, five critically in two separate mass shootings at homeless encampments in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Monday. The first shooting took place at East Lake Street and Interstate 35W around 11am local time.
As PhỄ Nữ reports, Vietnam recently announced Decree No. 342, which details a number of provisions to the national Advertising Law, due to take effect from February 15, 2026. The adjustments are expected to place stricter control on Vietnamâs online advertising activities to protect consumers and curb illegal ads.
Following Charlie Kirkâs assassination and the Trump administrationâs promise to go after the âradical leftâ a study showing most domestic terrosim is far-right was disappeared.
In a press conference this week on New York Cityâs $12 billion budget gap, Mayor Zohran Mamdani zeroed in on the previous administrationâs artificial intelligence chatbot as one of âa number of different things weâre going to pursue for savings.â
Collective Shout, a small but vocal lobby group, has long called for a mandatory internet filter that would prevent access to adult content for everyone in Australia. Its director, Melinda Tankard Reist, was recently appointed to the stakeholder advisory board for the governmentâs age assurance technology trial before the under-16s social media ban comes into effect in Australia in December.
National Science Foundation (NSF) had offered $1.5 million to address structural vulnerabilities in Python and the Python Package Index (PyPI), but the Foundation quickly became dispirited with the terms of the grant it would have to follow.
I used to self-host because I liked tinkering. I worked tech support for a municipal fiber network, I ran Arch, I enjoyed the control. The privacy stuff was a nice bonus but honestly it was mostly about having my own playground.
That changed this week when I watched ICE murder a woman sitting in her car.
Before you roll your eyes about this getting political - stay with me, because this is directly about the infrastructure weâre all running in our homelabs.
Hereâs what happened: A woman was reduced to a data point in a database - threat assessment score, deportation priority level, case number - and then she was killed. Not by some rogue actor, but by a system functioning exactly as designed. And that system? Built on infrastructure provided by the same tech companies most of us used to rely on before we started self-hosting.
Every service you donât self-host is a data point feeding the machine. Google knows your location history, your contacts, your communications. Microsoft has your documents and your calendar. Apple has your photos and your biometrics. And when the government comes knocking - and they are knocking, right now, today - these companies will hand it over. They have to. Itâs baked into the infrastructure.
Individual privacy is a losing game. You canât opt-out of surveillance when participation in society requires using their platforms. But hereâs what you can do: build parallel infrastructure that doesnât feed their systems at all.
When you run Nextcloud, youâre not just protecting your files from Google - youâre creating a node in a network they canât access. When you run Vaultwarden, your passwords arenât sitting in a database that can be subpoenaed. When you run Jellyfin, your viewing habits arenât being sold to data brokers who sell to ICE.
I watched my local municipal fiber network get acquired by TELUS. I watched a piece of community infrastructure get absorbed into the corporate extraction machine. Thatâs when I realized: we canât rely on existing institutions to protect us. We have to build our own.
This isnât about being a prepper or going off-grid. This is about building infrastructure that operates on fundamentally different principles:
I donât even know what else to add to this headline. This is so fucked up and tragic scary and infuriating and it will in no way slow the resistance.
