I work in logistics. I’ve always had a fascination with tech, and was leery of all these neato things on offer from big tech, from social media to the cloud.

Found out I could self-host, and got to learning.

I hate listening to my younger brother talk about technology. He is just a sheep in an apple pen, and perfectly happy. I don’t get it.

This is how I run all my services. I have a nice docker compose file, I always set my server computers up the same way so no editing will be necessary…

I was using podman, but like all Red Hat products, I found it to be unnecessarily complicated. Yes of course it has better security, but… Docker just works.

Wow. Really reaching there, huh?

What Meta shit wouldn’t I like to see? A general watering down of the comment quality. Trolling. Nonsense. What has happened to every somewhat technical technology the second the normies cry “gatekeeping” and force their way in with a dumb fucking look on their face and without an original idea in their heads.

That Meta shit is what I’d like to avoid. Just because one doesn’t have opportunity to respond doesn’t mean there isn’t a response.

Sort by “all,” and the popular instances show up.

I wouldn’t like to see FB and Threads dominate that with the bleating of the sheep they’ve cultivated.

As long as Meta can’t infect the rest of the fediverse, or track or monetize it…fine. I just never, ever want Meta shit on my timeline.

Obsidian. I know it’s not open source, but it just felt right.

I went on the tor network once.

I saw what was being offered (probably on an FBI Honeypot site), backed out slowly without touching anything, and never went back.

I really like privacy. Those people need it. There is a difference.
