  • 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.














  • Yea, I'm fine, it's a temporary living arrangement but no idea how long I have to put up with it so. emilie-shrug I just try to zone out of it and listen to music or something and avoid interactions with her because i-love-not-thinking I've been starting to think if me coming out a couple of years ago was a mistake because of this, when I originally did it she seemed fine with it which was surprising because I didn't really know what to expect because I'd never heard her go on these kinds of tirades before. I guess something flipped in her brain and now she's just showing her true colors.



  • cw: transphobia/homophobia, unhinged parents, vent

    Listening to my mom go on and on about how queer and trans folk need to be thrown into mental institutions because "they want to get extra privileges that 'normal' people don't even have to accommodate their disgusting lifestyles" and other things like "they're trying to rewrite our language by saying we're not allowed to say things like queer or [insert slur], like they're just words grow up!". Like please hasan-stfu, I am begging you for the sake of my mental health


  • Yea, as cool as this would be I have some serious doubts about this, especially since they said they want to put passengers on this thing? The SR-71 reached a max speed of mach 3.4, but it was flying at extremely high altitudes where the air is very thin and the pilot had to wear what's essentially a space suit. Not to mention the plane being made entirely of titanium because during flight the surface temperature of the plane's body was so hot, that any other metal would start to lose it's structural soundness. I have no doubts that technology has massively improved since the 60s, but I don't think it's improved to the point to where we're going to be flying at mach 4 from Beijing to New York like they say. If they end up showing it off later down the line and it can actually do that, well holy shit.


  • cw: vent about life

    It really sucks being poor and not being able to get a job. I have no money to go and do things, I don't have a car or any way to get around so even if I had money to do things I still wouldn't be able to, I am stuck in a meh housing arrangement, and I'm lonely as ever because social anxiety is strong and I shut down in even the smallest social interactions. I'm a mess.
