What you can do right now to help civilians in #Iran, with minimal effort:

Install the #Snowflake plugin in your browser, and just enable it. No other config is required.

The plugin makes the Tor network available to people in countries with heavy #censorship, so they can bypass it and get information from abroad.

Boost appreciated.

I don’t miss dial up speeds, but I do kinda miss dialing up to connect, not being on 24/7, chat applications where being “offline” meant people just literally could not message you other than email.

Google requires verified accounts to use their AntiGravity software and Gemini Pro stuff, mainly because they’re only interested in giving you a free taste if you might become addicted enough to become a paying customer.

So my trick is to just have a dozen accounts that I rotate between as each one hits usage limits. I started doing it first just with Cursor, and i still use that too, but Anti-gravity gives access to Claude and the usage limits are separate from the limits for Gemini. With all of it combined I have more then enough usage to do whatever i want without paying any of these corps a dime.

Also, dear Very Serious PeopleTM - please pick one:

Either everyone saying billionaires are plotting together to run the world as a fascist dystopia is "unhinged conspiracy theories"

OR

Yes everyone knows rich people plot together to ruin our lives for their benefit on the regular.

It cannot be both. Either you were wrong BEFORE when you said it was all Alex Jones shit, or you're wrong now and the contents of the emails are in fact HIGHLY incriminating.

Pick one.

Your reps need to hear from you - daily! Call them.(thanks to https://www.5calls.org/ )

If I did this as a professional employment type of job it would be a nightmare. I have the most major respect for admins of larger instances and probably also have some kind of a day job in the it profession, IDK how ya’ll find the energy.

This is why I run my own things, I want to be able to break them and learn from the mistakes i make. Sometimes I might just say fuck it and nuke the entire service, but usually even when i end up doing that i still learn something about what not to do next time.

So what this means going forward is essentially less data getting backed up frequently, but living dangerously in terms of potentially losing uploaded content.

YES! Fixed the problems i created by migrating uploads.

Maybe?

Well I think upload directories for lemmy, akkoma, and Prometheus have all been migrated correctly but seeing as all the old stuff except Prometheus broke i must have done something wrong. It might be something i can fix later, but i didn’t take an extra back and i dont feel like reverying to the one that was done 4 days ago.

Well it seems i broke all the media when i tried to move some things… oh well, it needed to get done.

IDK if this will work but anyone on #meshcore in PNW wanna join my room?
