@Nanook
These kind of posts are (probably) the reason for all these upheaval in public space.

There is a chance you know nothing about Islam, in which case there is no difference between the meme in the lingerie and you.

What we hopefully going to learn from the last few years is that every one of us are going to take a stand over things we understand and fully control - and "cancel" anything else.

There are TWO people I know here, on these channels who are Muslims - I provide them with the courtesy to deal with all issues regarding to Islam. I do not take sides, I do not get involved until I am affected. Even then, I do not make it into a meme. I simply declare that Muslims and Western Civilization are at War since 1100 AD. I was born in Hungary, and if you read any historical accounts you see that from the Crusades all the way to the late 16th Century, in that single instance.

I never post anything without a comment, where I take responsibility for my point of view. What you do, without a commentary that explains your purpose is pointless.

Its not about "offending" anyone. Its the fact that none of that is your business, none of that is affecting your person - or the persons trusted to your care. You are opening yourself up for attacks on beach-heads like that, and the rest of us are too paying the price.

What works is personal experiences where you stand your ground. Things that affect you, personally. As you know they are not hard to find - everything happening these days is an attack on those of us who were too complacent, and failed to stand up for EDIT(our own best interest).

Let the political left represent someone else's best interest. You and I we focus on our own best interest, and not going to relent. Anything that affects me I post, with commentary, and no prisoners taken.

Do not start a fight and you won't lose.

How is this connected to the Meme you posted? You, not me, changed the subject. All of the sudden this has turned into something unrelated.

Explain how the meme you posted affects, affected you in the past. Anything regarding the future is speculation, it must be in the present (ongoing) or in the past.

Chances are, you have nothing. Abandon it and move on, cut your losses. Maybe even consider you learned something, and live to fight another day.

I support you, but I repeat.. come forth with accounts of genuine accounts of wrong-doing. Like the account I gave about the deranged property manager at my condo.

I hope you appreciate my efforts because I did not post to attack or discredit you.

Even if you reject a hostile reality, you remain part of it. So simply "criticizing" it is ineffective, next time please propose what to do, how to even begin to fix this?

Here is something I actually DID.

Last year in March, the property manager of my condo sent an email out, asking everyone to please be considerate of your fellow home-owners, and wear a mask as soon as you step outside of your condo.

I wrote her back saying not going to happen, and stop meddling into issues she has no mandate. She owns a property management company, her responsibility ends with the lawn, roof, critters. Stop acting as if she is appointed to manage COVID-19.

Today is nearly 14 moths after - I am banned to email and call the management company. In December (Chicago, WINTER!) the garage door I share with an elderly homeowner broke - his parking space was rented out (NOT ALLOWED BY CONDO RULES!), the person who broke the door denies it. I was warned to fix it or get fined, by the day. In January I paid for a replacement. I have not received half of the shared expenses as of today. I am banned to call the management company, they hung the phone as soon as I say "Hi" (I have a strong hungarian accent).

So, here is the "hostile reality: I spoke of. Its not theory, its real life.

The Management of COVID-19 STILL NOT HER TASK. No matter how much they ban me, evict me, kill me. The management of COVID-19 is the task of the town, county, state officials - not the task of the property management company.

@nanook The lockdown is a very profitable business for the few.

@nanook Looks like many people are making their own sites to stop relying on big tech, but going to Microsoft is not a good idea. I know some journalists and video creators who started their own sited because of big tech censorship.

@nanook I've just finished installing MX Linux on my computer because I broke my Manjaro install. MX Linux is based on Debian Stable and feels a lot like Debian but it detected my drivers out of the box and it has some maintenance software called MX Tools. I don't know why Arch based distros make my PC freeze in dual boot with Windows. Arch is a lot more bleeding edge but Debian is rock stable. I like the AUR (Arch Users Repository) on Arch based distros because you can find any app there if it's not in the main repo.

@nanook Yes, Ubuntu is more enterprise and it's most often the choice for servers. Facebook is so horrible that I find it hard to believe people still insist to use it. All the Silicon Valley companies are cancer.

Question: What are you guys are doing with all the technology you are discussing?

Its only fair to disclose mine, I maintain 4 Debian (latest) BIND service stacks on two different continents because I am paranoid of the public DNS space. ICANN, Google, Cloudfare, I am paranoid all of them.

I have a list of infrastucture stack from email to database to directories - because I am paranoid of all the others BESIDES of the DNS space above..

I am building a Luxury Liner of services for a few kindred spirits who live next door to me, but a Galaxy away because that is what it means to be a conservative citizen. Everyone is hiding from you because you are charged with every imaginable crime without any chance to defend yourself.

So, again - what are we doing with all these capacity to stop the madness over "systemic racism" and all the other nonsense making ordinary people into world-class villains. How could we use all this technology to show that we have never conceived any crimes against races or against individuals - or at least we NEVER followed through..

I refuse to believe that the purpose of Hubzilla, and other related projects is Hubzilla, and other related projects.

Well, a bit of background, when the Internet first officially became available to the public was in 1991 when the Stockton CIX was formed. I ordered Sprint T1's and was the eight company to get access and be on the Internet. The seven that proceeded me have all changed ownership or went out of business so at present I am the oldest ISP still on the Internet under original ownership. There are a few others that started their companies earlier but were not on the Internet until later, and technically I started a company as a Unix Timeshare service in 1985, so already had an Internal TCP/IP network which made getting on the Internet easy.

Before my involvement with the Internet, I had an involvement in pirate radio. I've always been an advocate of free speech. I believe it's better to get all ideas out on the table and look at an issue from all angles, even if some people get butt-hurt in the process, in the end better decisions are made.

I've operated a NextCloud instance for several years but with this last election coup, after getting kicked off of Facebook for the third time I decided to put up a friendica node, and then a hubzilla node. I am working on other capabilities.

As far as pay for services we offer Linux shell accounts on about a dozen different Linux distros, one account provides access to all of them, as well as virtual private servers and web hosting. All shell accounts also include e-mail, Usenet News, and access both via ssh and various full remote desktop means including RDP, VNC, X2go, and via the web. You can see the services I offer at https://www.eskimo.com/. If you compare the time it takes wordpress to load on my site, verses any other I think you'll see that I have an eye towards quality, a wordpress site loads in about 280ms on my service, I haven't found any other that load in less than 640ms and most in 2-3 seconds. All customer data including VPS is on RAID. All data is backed up weekly in addition to RAID and every couple of months off site as well.

You can view our service offerings at https://www.eskimo.com/ For a free trial of our Linux shell accounts, apply at: https://www.eskimo.com/services/free-trial/ Our nextcloud service is free at https://nextcloud.eskimo.com/, friendica at https://friendica.eskimo.com/, and hubzilla at https://hubzilla.eskimo.com/ We don't deplatform anyone as long as you keep it legal, i.e., no child pornography or other illegal materials.
