Sometimes the best self care is doing that hard thing you've been putting off.

Buy a NAS and a rpi to make it available via wireguard or build a NAS myself with that rpi?

Or is there an alternative for the rpi that is x86_64?

Feel free to boost this! All suggestions welcome!

But the real ticking time-bomb in the DMCA is Section 1201, the "anti-circumvention" rule, which makes it a felony (punishing by a 5-year prison sentence and a $500k fine) to help people tamper with "access controls" that restrict copyrighted works.

This rule means that if a company designs its products so that you have to remove DRM to use them in legal ways, those uses become felonies. DMCA 1201 is how Apple and John Deere make it a felony for anyone except them to fix their products.

A reminder: Apple does not end-to-end encrypt iCloud data. Apple routinely provides iCloud data to the FBI. Apple encourages you to sync your iMessage store to iCloud, where it is not end-to-end encrypted. https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-fbi-icloud-investigation-seattle-protester-arson-2020-9

Reason looks like it's putting out an interesting documentary about the "cypherpunk movement"... an important thing to document https://twitter.com/reason/status/1313540777138585608

It's easy to forget that for much of the 90s, the kind of cryptography we all rely on today was more or less outlawed. Much of the advocacy prior to legalization was civil disobedience, under the threat of government punishment. Without this work we'd be in a much scarier timeline (yes, even scarier than 2020 is today).

Stress check. Are your shoulders hunched? Breathing shallow? Jaws clenched?

@Ludonaut
I'm working on https://conduit.rs which is a new matrix server built in Rust. I'm trying to make it very easy to set up and run. Everything is contained in a single binary. You don't even need to install mysql or something to run it. (tradeoff is that it's much harder to scale horizontally, but that's not the goal)
@sir

Y'know those "we buy houses" signs, often held up with zip-ties? Those are put up by people who are trying to kill your neighborhood. They're trying to displace you and your neighbors, so they can "develop" that area and make it more appealing to rich people.

Carry a pocket knife and tear those fucking things down. No one will stop you.
