Spoiler: they won’t.

After yoloing it for years, I finally deployed an offaite backup this month. I also host on Nextcloud (at my house). While I do have a local disk backing up my Nextcloud install, I didn’t have any backups of the external media hosting my photos.

Finally, I ordered a 10TB external drive and plugged it into a raspberry pi I had sitting around. Using wireguard and restic, I now have an offsite backup at a friend’s house!

Is there any serious analysis that anticipates that? I mean, a flurry of meteor strikes could also do it, I suppose.

I left when they fucked over 3rd party apps.

There is no scenario in which Russia gives up control of Crimea. It is simply too strategically important.

For me, I find it sad. There is so much pressure on people (especially women) to look a certain way. I find beauty in uniqueness. When a certain “look” becomes fashionable, you see a lot of people get the same face. Then, you see people get “addicted” to the surgeries, and end up looking totally alien.

I set mine up with Debian and Swizzin community edition.

I’ve got a little NUC-type computer (Beelink or something) that runs Linux Mint. I like the desktop interface for switching between browser, YouTube apps and Jellyfin. We use a full size wireless keyboard with a trackpad.

They’re unlikely to act contrary to US imperial interests. As ever.

TrueAnon podcast goes pretty in depth on this particular cringe-fest.

Deport Stephen Miller to an abandoned mineshaft.

I’m sure he did work with Mossad. That doesn’t mean he didn’t also work with the CIA. I’m not sure what you mean by “compromised” either. The CIA has been evil and rogue from the start.

Mossad/Putin but not the fucking CIA? The guy lived in and operated out of the US. His shenanigans could hardly have been unknown to domestic intelligence agencies.

Open-ended and vague so that they can protect some (white) people and not others.

Military has always been a political prop.

It’s funny, I just came back from an open-mic night, and there was a fair bit of this material haha.

Sure, but for people like me who don’t have the time/desire to research individual companies, index funds are the common suggestion. Which brings me to my original comment.

Yeah the more complicated and “gamble-y” it gets the less interested I am.

It’s honestly kept me from investing at all. I know index funds are the way to go, but I can’t in good conscience invest in these evil companies. I’d rather end up living in the street than sell my soul.

It meets their needs and preferences, simple as that. I tried Arch in like 2008, and thought people were crazy for all the trouble it took back then. Nowadays there’s a lot of nice distros built on it, so you can get the benefits (such as they may be) without all the low-level tinkering.
