  • As a Canadian, it’s terrifying to see the ammount of effort put behind justifying this bill which is clearly a danger to not just our privacy, but our data soviergnty our democracy and our jobs.

    Australia already made a mistake with a similar bill and saw a 22% drop in R&D investment. We can’t afford the same here for both our businesses and our citizens.

    Sadly my MP isn’t returning my calls and we’re not exactly a population that’s known for hitting the streets. I’m hoping any money I throw at Openmedia or Signal is able to work some magic cause at the moment it’s between that and big tech as our only chance to stop this.




  • I’ve heard good things, issues would mainly pertain to somehow walking non-technical family members through setup.

    As well given I don’t have a security background I try to keep my self hosted stuff to non-critical items. Plex going down matters less than “I can’t login to my bank account because the optiplex decided to die while I’m in the office”.

    Albeit knowing how locked in many users are made it a great target for PE so should’ve seen that coming.

    And I do agree with the first part of the statement…but I think a good chunk of us here use Linux so the latter part falls flat.

    Perhaps we’ll see it similar moreso to Unix. Where activity pub is Unix and is used around the world. But Linux is still used by a small portion of the population.







  • Agreed. Forums are tricky because in my experience of you get too many people outside of the niche you’re discussing the quality goes down.

    But if you don’t have enough then the Reddit community will take the majority of the discussion away from the forum.

    There are some good hobby based ones still out there but discovery is always a challenge. Your best bet is finding someone who’s engaged in discussions you like and seeing where they go for said discussions.
