We’re arguing on the assumption that living in western europe isnt “rich”. Even the people living from state welfare with running water are better off then 50% of the planet because they even have clean water.

Notch btw started as a programmer at the age of 18 (wikipedia) and lived in sweden, one of the richest countries in the world. Having the time to learn programming at that age is already a sign of (white) privilege.

There. Is. No. Self. Made. Wealth. Period.

That on the other hand is not saying that notch wasnt successful, he undeniably was. But he is an unethical prick for keeping the money and engaging in debauchery. He does not deserve praise, neither does any rich person. You know who deserves praise? Dr. Ernesto “che” guevara does.

Not inherited is also wrong. Because more than 50% of americans live paycheck to paycheck, one can assume that private schools, elite universities, etc are also inherited wealth.

They dont spawn with billions but they started at the top and just built exploitation empires.

The is no such thing as self made wealth and an insane majprity of it is already being very comfortable and just going full bore.

I’m not saying financial success has nothing to do with capabilities and discipline but surprisingly little.

Or to quote jay gould, who said it before:

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Exactly. On top, we have this everywhere not only in media. Cost of living is insane and we are used to barely existing service for all the money we pay.

But dont dare to make an app that doesnt do the “swoosh”, “shaky screen” or otherwise isnt “polished” enough. Its “Go corpo or go home.”

I wonder if there is any solution? When will we have extracted enough profit? Should we do 16 hr work days? Maybe then corporate overlords will be happy?

Yeah sure. Because a company paywalling functions has anything to do with network configuration.

What people like you dont understand is that there is no minimum requirement of knowledge to selfhost. It is completely braindead how often i have to tell people how a network works and now i have to explain to people why software configuration is not network configuration.

Yeah, i never got the point in threema. Any particular advantage to signal and matrix?

I did not make a “first” or “second” post about this. This is it.

It is absolutely a great idea. These shit phones are fucking dangerous.

They’re completely different, depending on your needs. Some work easily for those without tech knowledge or very strict needs at usability, some are for privacy enthusiasts or endangered people and some are for techies who want to advance humanity.

I suggest trying on an older phone you already have or buying a used one.

Generally, i suggest not buying new at all, as a form of protest, anyway.

It is the overarching theme in every aspect of life nowadays.

PLEASE LOOK AT THIS ARTIFICIALLY BLOWN UP DETAIL

While literally every other point will show you the opposite is true. Its how capitalism works in general.

Foss is a huge thorn in their side too. One reason why google seems to destroy aosp slowly.

Neat. Thanks for suggesting.

So close! Gen AI is not the ememy. Capitalism is. Gen AI is the tool.

Already done. Thanks for the suggestion though. :)

You’re pretty hostile. Good luck with that attitude.

I run a reverse proxy too. are you talking about a public one? I’m probably gonna use a relay server for it which essentially is the same I guess.

Yeah, or not.

You’re an absolute champ! Thanks for walking the walk. Its refreshing meeting people who do stuff. Feel free to check out my kodi peertube app at some point ;)

I know. the issue is my friends dont have networks run by me. So I have to gain access to them and have to change setups which makes the situation likely to blow in my face. its just not a good solution imo. People have already suggested a relay server which will likely be the best solution.

yeah no. there are a lot of other solutions to this. they’re just a little annoying. others have confirmed there are similar setups like plex is doing with a relay server, but selfhosted.

I’m sharing an internet connection with my neighbors for these reasons. In germany, we have “freifunk” which is just what you’re explaining I think. I would definitely love to maximize this though.

I think you make a hugely important point and I would definitely use it and I might even be able to help making it.

That is pretty much how I imagined it. Sadly, its A TON of work. I have most of this set up in many VPSs for both me and customers (with other services of course) and I can imagine its probably the best solution. I still hate my life when thinking of implementing it. :D I bet its gonna be easier than I think but you may get my point here. Thank you very much for sharing.
