Yesterday I figured I'd try setting up something I could use to work with my critique group. I was looking for collaborative editing, chat, etc. Nextcloud looked like a good candidate, so I gave it a go.
Well, Nextcloud is obviously designed to be an enterprise solution. That thing repeatedly hammered my poor little VPS into the ground on the simplest of operations. I took it out and restored Mattermost, which is great for chatting with a curated group and some other Slack-like tasks, but doesn't support collaborative editing.
The search continues.

Sometimes the question comes up if we have any DNS servers to point at. The answer is no, we only do authoritative DNS (for now anyways ).
There are multiple other projects that do recursive DNS in the EU or based out of the EU though, like
- quad9.net (@quad9dns)
- mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-h… (@mullvadnet)
- stats.ffmuc.net/d/tlvoghcZk/do… (@freifunkMUC)
- digitalcourage.de/support/zens… (website in German, @digitalcourage)
european-alternatives.eu/alter… also has some more

I just went down a bit of a rabbithole starting on YouTube, and I'm currently asking ChatGPT about the same thing. I use the same Google account to log into both. When YouTube starts recommending me more videos related to that, which inevitably it's about to, where is it getting that data from: itself or ChatGPT? 🤔
OpenAI can be selling all your data to advertising companies like Google to make some extra bucks. Especially when this data doesn't enhance chatgpt's competition.
I dunno if that's the case though.

Trump Signs Executive Order Making Official Language Of U.S. Remedial English
WASHINGTON—In a move designed to promote unity and establish efficiency at the federal level, President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday making the nation’s official language remedial English.The Onion Staff (The Onion)
@Jennifer I Have never been proud or ashamed of an accident of birth. I did not chose nor have any influence in being America. Nationalism is just another form of prejudice.
I am proud of the fact that I voted against what is transpiring today in America. That I did everything I could do to avoid it. It is unfortunate that I failed; though I did what I could reasonably do.
If you also have done what you could then you have no reason to be embarrassed. You did the right thing. We are not responsible for the rash and irresponsible behavior of others. Even if we must live with their mistakes.
We can get through these four years together. Stay strong.
Take Care

#Today 28
Good day!
This is, literally, my view.
The place where I’m babysitting a handful of animals (Evie the Cat is here). Where my car battery died after 10-years.
I’ve setup collaborative hikes & my writing journal for March. Next, notes on the sequel to Deadly Stroll, which is Exhumed Reflection.
Be everwell.

So the good news is that it's Friday.
The bad news is that Doug Ford and his conservatives won another majority and will be in complete control for the next 4 years here in Ontario.
Cheap booze, weed shops on every corner.
A depleted public health and education system. Private care that only the wealthy have access to.
All while his buds get rich and the divide between the middle and upper class widens.
The people of Ontario are stupid. We get what we deserve.

Between
As the light erupts across the sky
your morning has just begun
as cries of avow are birthed
I sing to you my little one...
'tis not at this extreme
'tis between
You can endure no more of this abundance
Your girths limit has been reached
Ill content and miserable
I say to you my child...
'tis not at this extreme
'tis between
Your barren face has lost its color
You are barely there at all
starving and desperate
I reason with you...
'tis not at this extreme
'tis between
Not a thought for anything else can be
she is all that you will see
obsession overcomes thee
Will you hear my plea...
'tis not at this extreme
'tis between
Her softest touch has torn your heart apart
madness grips you to your core
grief has manifest rage
listen to my screams
'tis not at this extreme
'tis between
As the light dims across the sky
your twilight finally arrives
as sorrow finds its rest
I utter my last goodbye...
'tis not at this extreme
'tis between

Everything That Is Nothing
I am everything
that is nothing
I am nothing
that is real
everything surreal
is my ideal
my strength is my weakness
my hope is my despair
my voice is my silence
my life is unclear
the truth is a lie
the hope is my bane
the way is a myth
the joy is my grief
