"If the Minnesota resistance has an overarching ideology, you could call it 'neighborism'—a commitment to protecting the people around you, no matter who they are or where they came from. The contrast with the philosophy guiding the Trump administration couldn’t be more extreme. Vice President Vance has said that “it is totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next-door neighbors and say, ‘I want to live next to people who I have something in common with. I don’t want to live next to four families of strangers.’” Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America." theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/01/

Hey hivemind, some questions in the run-up to

Are people from and/or going to attend? I'll be pretty busy, but I would love to do a half hour UI/UX feedback session.

I did one spontaneously last FOSDEM but lost the contact data, and the number of improvements in this regard is sadly zero. That's on me, and I should have retained the contact data

I'm also happy to donate and/or donate to a charity of your choosing if that helps.

appreciated

First up! Our top tip for everyone starting to care about being tracked online is to install a content blocking extension in their browser, and the best choice is uBlock Origin.

Advertisements aren’t just annoying, they are one of the most prevalent attack vectors on the internet. Minimizing the amount of content you are downloading and running makes you much safer, and it speeds up your browsing at the same time! 😄

uBlock Origin, a content blocker that blocks ads, trackers, and fingerprinting scripts.

>自民党は日本維新の会と合わせて定数465の過半数(233)の勢い。さらに支持が広がれば単独過半数もうかがう。

>参政党は議席大幅増、チームみらいは衆院での初議席獲得を視野に入れる。

Just uploaded my bachelor's thesis to GitHub!

In it, I detail how I created a bootstrap chain for @nixos_orgNixOS which builds the whole system from a small hand-auditable binary seed.

Read the thesis: nzbr.github.io/nixos-full-sour
Check out the code: github.com/nzbr/nixos-full-sou

If your justification for capitalism is "How'll we ensure people will do the work which needs doing?"... I find capitalists to be terrible judges of what work needs doing!

Just look at how much of our infrastructural software is maintained on a volunteer basis.

I dream of a future with less inequality, enough so that we don't need to justify to capitalists our right to live!

長照中被照顧的人有時會因為被照顧而感到虧欠,因為感到虧欠而不好表達需要,受照顧者因忍耐,在不適中抑鬱。
而照顧的人也因為不知道對方到底需要什麼,在溝通困難狀況下怎麼猜都會有哪裡不對勁。
這狀況在照護初期是必須要跨過的。
溝通、尊重彼此、把彼此仍當一個完整的人對待。完整的人不是整天溫和笑嘻嘻又講道理,而是理所當然的喜怒哀樂都會有,身體不方便,但人還是人,照顧者與受照顧者都要摸索適應這個新生活。
然後提醒自己要時時觀察,人會變,自己、對方都會。不要把一個可以運作的模式當作理所當然,人與人之間的互動會一直變化。
大目標是彼此能過的好、過的像自己。要鼓勵自己、鼓勵對方把自己的需求表達出來。
深夜突然拉肚子也沒辦法,人都會有,不用忍耐、感到虧欠而不好意思把人叫醒,自己決定做的事情,也得到感謝與尊重,維持舒適我也安心。
長照生活就是這麼回事。
偶爾已經理解的事情又往回頭打轉這樣的迷惘也是理所當然的事情。接受現況、好好應對。累的時候也該兩聲,沒事的🙏

Random reminder that among the other things they can't get right, enterprise firewalls often have application fingerprinting or app IDs or whatever they want to call it where it tries to identify a network protocol and it's just bad. They're all bad. Yes, including that one. So please don't use them for anything important like, say, firewall rules.
