If you haven't canceled your ESPN, Disney+, and Hulu, please do it today and tell your likeminded family and friends to do the same.

We need millions of cancellations. Disney caved to totalitarian threats for no reason. Jimmy Kimmel did nothing wrong. And we can protect him and democracy by standing up.

Make sure you name Jimmy Kimmel specifically to make it count.

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting: day 275 (coping mechanisms edition) ​​

World events being what they are, authoritarianism, technofeudalism and other everyday horrors are pushing me to spin up another server on Hetzner with the excuse "well, I've gotten so many requests to show what's it's like to install YunoHost, this is the perfect opportunity."

Self-hosting is a pretty good distraction from the ​ (dumpster FIRES) going off everywhere. At least for me. Top 3 coping mechanism (top 1: playing with my child; top 2: aromatherapy).

I may do it next week 🙈​

I hope you're having a nice day. Chin up! Resist! Enjoy the little things 🌸​🍵​🌈​
