It has to be purely based off population

…what is?

Sure, gerrymandering is part of the election process. I think the problem there is how to logically determine what is or is not gerrymandering.

Honestly election reform should be the absolute highest priority in this country. Everything will trickle down from there. Sadly, too many people are caught up in the symptoms to see the disease.

Trump already threatened to withhold funding for the city. Something I have no doubt he’ll make good on.

Any plans to support PDFs or video conversion/compression?

Yes I did say that. I don’t understand what you’re trying to communicate. TLF does not control Linux, just as Tailscale does not control WireGuard. Tailscale does control Tailscale. There’s nothing wrong with using Linux and there’s nothing wrong with using WireGuard. There may be something wrong with using Tailscale. I don’t know how to be more clear about this.

It doesn’t matter in either case. Neither of them have control over the underlying technology.

companies should not be allowed to invest in other companies?

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m just saying you need to be wary of companies that do because the inevitable end of that train is enshittification. Every. Single. Time.

does Tailscale have complete control over Wireguard?

Who’s talking about WireGuard? We were talking about Tailscale.

That’s pretty standard in a business life-cycle, though

I don’t know where people ever got the idea that normal = acceptable. I hear this used to justify all sorts of awful crap. It was only ever normalized because users were apathetic.

And what about the Linux Foundation? They are funded through private equity. Should you consider switching away because of that?

Does The Linux Foundation have complete control over Linux?

Buy a $20 Walmart ONN box and plug it in. Disconnect your TV from internet.

Okay then I will recommend the new Beelink ME mini

And also the “pocket NAS” from CWWK.net

currently looking at a refurbished optiplex 3060 with an Intel I3-8100T

Those are fine but will be less power efficient than the mobile CPUs.

Do you mean building a multibay NAS myself? I looked into it and it didn’t seem really cheaper

It definitely is. Also most NAS have a very weak CPU. Because a “NAS” really doesn’t need one.

I would recommend DIYing your own NAS/server, if possible. How much storage are you needing? What’s your budget?

They don’t care about “capitalist cloud services”, they just care about money. If they can charge you a premium for more advanced features (they can) then they will.

So you’re looking for a self-hosted note taking system? Because there are a lot of them. Probably more than any other category. Can you be more specific about the features you’re looking for?

Yeah they have apps on all the platforms.

All of these, plus more unofficial ones: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/

Did you notice that they’re using a local connection? Still requires VPN/reverse proxy to get it outside the home.

telling your friends and loved ones to switch email providers over your crusade

1. It has nothing to do with email

2. It’s not a personal crusade. Everyone should be trying to get people away from Google. They are an absolutely fucked corporation who makes a fortune spying on you and everyone you know.

and all of the results were talking about setting up a VPN or a reverse proxy or whatever. Man, I just want to tell my mom “install this app on your tv and log in”,

This is why I use Yunohost. It makes all of that just a “click buttons” affair. Then you can tell your Mom the same thing. Only the domain is yours so Jellyfin can’t hold it over your head.

I feel like I know the answer but what happens if you click “I do not agree”?

There are lots of convos on AT.

I use Mattermost because it combines a comprehensive kanban called Focalboard with chat rooms for communicating with coworkers.
