    1. Consider getting a VPS to play around with to learn how this stuff works before you expose your data to the internet.
    2. Learn about how DNS works. You will create an A record (and possibly also an AAAA recordy) for your domain pointing to your home IP (or VPS).
    3. If SquareSpace does not let you set records (and will only allow you to use Squarespace-hosted services) you will need to migrate your domain to another provider. I like gandi.net.
    4. Learn how your router does port forwarding. You will forward port(s) for the calendar service from your router to your home PC. (Or learn how to do firewalls on your VPS.)
    5. Before you actually connect to it with credentials over the internet, set up SSL/TLS certificates with LetsEncrypt.



  • We are trying. I volunteer for campaigns and knock on doors for progressive candidates. And they get attacked by the kind of democrats who take most of their campaign contributions from property developers and car dealerships.

    If you are voting for the establishment and attacking anybody who brings up valid criticisms, YOU are not doing anything about it.


  • “Democrats are not doing enough to encourage people to vote for Democrats.” is a warning, not a threat.

    People who make and post memes like this seem to think that the people complaining about conservative Democrats and pointing out problems in the party are not voting for Democrats. I think they largely wrong about that. We are voting for all Democrats all the time, but warning you that your messaging sucks and you are not going to get the turnout you need. It is not our fault we were correct.
