The wip sketches already inspired me ☺️ last weekend I sent my home group into an all-you-can-eat buffet style inn where the owner was "procuring new meats" for the buffet. A pestilence demon in the basement provided the recipes and served as the Chef.

And so the next home project begins: migrating my docker containers off the NAS and on to a good old Dell Optiplex so that I can reduce r/w on the drives and use hardware accelerated transcoding.

If 1080p gaming is all someone does and they want to play valorant, minecraft, fortnite etc then it's a cheap and reliable option

We broke up the banks. We broke up the railroads.
We broke up the steel companies.

We can break up the media conglomerates. We can break up the tech conglomerates.

We've done it before. We can do it again.

Everyone has their own threat models, so I don't want to me broad, recommendations here, but if you use Protonmail to talk to sources, you should read this story.
