I used to rec vultr, but they have a DC in Tel Aviv now and so I'm trying to move elsewhere. BuyVM looks promising.

In the past I've used htzener and scale way, but I'm on the west coast of NA so EU latency kills me.

I use NFSN for some shared hosting stuff, but that's limited to like static files and php shit.

The USSR also had to play catch up with empire to maintain an effective resistance. Organic development is slower, but that's how you develop culture and arts. Which is what the west really needs to spend its time on. We'll just import high quality Chinese goods for a couple of centuries while America becomes an afro indigenous commune and the Irish teach the rest of Europe the concept of having a good time.

I'm here to fuck eat dance and resist occupation

I don't think industrialization requires exploitation, that's just a cheat code that imperialists use to develop at a rate that allows them to maintain the illusion of stability in the core. The West will just have to go back to being a poor backwater and build up their shit honestly this time.

that robot is living the dream damn

I want to do this too. developing our own crafts, styles, and methods is the first step to creating a culture.

heat dissipating ponchos made of shrimp pls

though i'm personally trying to move towards wearing a huipil every day. i also just don't like clothes in general and i'm pissed that i can't go shirtless anymore now that i have tits

I run https://novo-atlantis.null.media which is meant to have a vibe kinda like that. We're super tiny, the only active posters are myself and an anarchist belarussian refugee. My white friend owns the actual server hardware, but they aren't involved in admin aside from the hosting. I threw a bunch of shit up so we'd have a TOS and to avoid the massive racism problems on the fediverse, we only do allow list federation. There's a lot of spanglish in there and I had hoped to build some kind of border vibes thing, but I've been struggling just to live.

Happy to change things up too if you want to collab. Won't hurt my feelings if you don't

I'd learn to play a lute, but there's hardly any time for frolicking anymore

if you say so

I can't believe I forgot about it, but secure scuttlebutt fits the bill here pretty well. The protocol has issues and the default clients are open to anyone by default, but the security properties of the design are pretty interesting and definitely applicable to building encrypted long form communicate nets. Bamboo Earthstar and Willow are all based on similar ideas and may also be useful. I have gotten a little use out of Briar, but being mostly phone-centric makes it hard to use the forum for actually long messages and complex discussions.

I have been working on a protocol for mobile adhoc mesh networking an general purpose coms that could fit the bill, but i'm still in the very early stages so its not really useful, but some of the research and project links at the bottom might be interesting.

i reckon its sexist to imply that men don't gossip

i was a boy once, i know what y'all get up to smh

dansup will almost certainly use the "limited availability while we figure things out thing" to prevent people from uploading any content critical of Israel, if his posts are anything to go by.

I was thinking about planning a hackathong to build a tiktok-like experience on top of existing fediverse services. Peertube does a lot of what you need already, but the UI isn't really there. Loops could be "just" another type of client, but we'll see if my motivation holds up.

Where my head has been lately is pondering "low-code" concepts as a potential method for making decentralized social media more malleable by users a la myspace, but its a tricky line. the overall idea is to redefine the relationships between service providers, developers, and users to give developers less control and put them in a role more like lego block designers who make kits rather than artisans that make the whole product.

hexbear.college anyone? i have a little experience contributing to openedx, but if people have other preferences (or want a homegrown thing i'm down). I'm not that good a dev/ops but I've done a bunch of self hosting projects that have been stable other than my lack of budget to keep them up at times.

I've been going through the shit, but I still want to contribute to the hexatlas project I saw on here a while back.

If you want a revolution well you know We all want to change the world And I'm willing to be your leader Death to america

Lesbians are immune to twink death. Also white people age crazy fast from my perspective. I thought twink death was more of a late thirties thing tbh
