Not pricey, e2ee clients, open source, servers in Germany, 10gb free tier to try them out. Been using them for a few years now. The clients used to be a bit crap but they’re very good now.

TIL, thank you.

Could you DM me a link too please? I’ve got no issues paying for something that makes my life easier!

Yeah, things going wrong is a concern. From the very brief look I’ve had at the repo, it looks like PHP and a standard MySQL/Maria DB runs Castopod so I’m hoping that side of things would be minimal and similar to self-hosting a WP instance.

The VPS side, I’m reasonably OK with. I’ve been running static sites for a few years with zero issues so far but I am less familiar with this side of things.

In terms of bandwidth, based on (basic) stats up until now I would guestimate we have about 100 downloads per month and each episode is approx 90-100mb in size so the package I have my eye on, which offers 24TB bandwidth per month should easily cope with that.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

Koreader is theoretically great. Offers a range of connection settings (e.g. FTP, Calibre over wifi etc) that makes life easier. Unfortunately its (in my experience) pretty buggy. I have a Kobo Clara and after the third time of Koreader simply wiping my ereader I just went back to using the stock Kobo software. Koreader is much heavier on battery use too.

Lack of audit is not great I agree. I can see from a basic web search that security is an issue but I’m not sure ‘nightmare’ is warranted. The lack of audit seems to be main focus of concern and I’d say thats a judgement call for each person depending on threat model. I was hoping for something more conclusive than that. Its certainly adequate for a more privacy-centric way of communicating than an app that doesn’t cater for Apple users at all.

Could you link me some resources for that? I may need something to demonstrate that to others.

Seems pretty similar to Jami except that it lacks the iOS and desktop clients that Jami already has.

It would improve the society

No. It would create a society in which the powerful have decided which genes are the ones they like when in reality, its diversity and complexity that is what’s ‘best’ for humans.

and people quality of life

That is not how eugenics works.

I don’t understand why is it bad

Then take a biodiversity and ethics class.

Just to Godwin the thread, eugenics is the province of nazi’s and other totalitarian regimes. Even though it could never work in the way they want, all anyone who advocates eugenics really wants is to eradicate other people different than them.

It’s not a bad idea at all - more people should try things they’re curious about. As long as everyone involved exercises informed consent its your call what you do.

The first step in implementing a military coup is to secure your base.

ABMN is not just Black Metal, their YT channel (findable on Invidious too) is divided in to playlists by subgenre.

SNH also a huge mix of sub-genres and non-metal genres such as EDM, Noise, punk etc.

In terms of non-metal, there are similar projects for neofolk (which also has a tendency to attract the fash), the LeftFolk collective features some great music. The Riihimaki Collective feature hardcore, and DIY Conspiracy are a punk collective.

Antifascist Black Metal Network (not just Black metal)

Satan Not Hatin’

No, it happened in the early 80s so bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Budgie, Saxon etc
