I think they are fucking up their blame game. They can say “radical leftists are shutting down the government for political purposes” on .gov websites all they want, but they are owning the shutdown if they continue to try to use it to do political stunts like mass firings as retaliation. They lose the blame game if they keep this up.

Going to? They already are. Check out the HUD webpage:

It’s purely defensive for people to point to the politics of the shooter, I think. I agree you have the motivations pegged here correctly with religion, but Democrats are going to be wary of any shooter being used to justify authoritarian police state shit. Republicans are desperately going to try to paint us as violent, regardless of the facts. Look at what they are trying to say about the MN school shooter and how Kirks shooter was immediately assumed to be left wing before we even knew anything at all.

Yes, I’m a technical person, but not a web developer and so this was all new to me until very recently. Good luck!

The way I think of the cloudflare tunnel is very similar to a VPN into your system from outside, but for web application traffic specifically.

Not the guy, but I use a domain I bought from cloudflare with a cloudflare tunnel on my network. Not as secure as a VPN like tailscale, but doesn’t require setting up a VPN for my friends and family’s TVs so they can connect to the server while keeping my actual IP hidden and without needing to do any port forwarding.

No one is that dumb. Right? If you’re in the inner circle, you know.

Seems like it does exist though. I don’t particularly get it, but there is apparently an audience for it. I hope they continue to grow if it pulls “independents” and the conspiratorial right to be a new conspiratorial left, that’s not bad on it’s face.

Considering what happened with J6, the Mueller Report, and the dozens of other red lines that have been crossed and just shrugged off in a few news cycles, this would just be adding to the list of things that our society has tacitly played😭. Hope for justice and accountability, but I have doubts now.

This is a good point. It’s almost better that it hasn’t been released since the MAGA revolt appears to be from the idiot section that buys into conspiracy theories, not as much the conscious soul-selling for power section (i.e. the people who were to dumb to already know he was a creep vs the people who 100% knew and just didn’t care so they could win).

Basically this, haha.

Obama meets with the GOP from Key and Peele

He’s gotta just say it should be kept secret and they’ll have to release it.

Based on their early mode and communication, I think this was always the plan. VC culture is toxic 🙄

If this happens, it is going to be plain as day compared to Iraq. Bush 43 had some benefit of the doubt thanks to 9/11 and getting respected leaders who were seen as nonpartisan (Powell) to sell it.

Exactly. Sure we can say “I told you so” a bit but we also need to just highlight how many folks are changing their minds and it’s ok to do that.

This is the way. We should have servers that are community only and user only, imho.

We’re in a good spot and a good community already. All things equal, we’re about as safe as we could be, but I worry about what national level things they’ll try to do.

I have a bad feeling that my 9yo trans daughter was born at the wrong time and will have to deal with some bullshit. Though I guess you could say that for almost any time in the recent or distant past…

I want him to get drunk, go on a podcast, and just spill the tea. What does he really think. I mean, I think I know, but I’d love to hear his honest opinion of the games that were played, who dropped the ball, and what he thinks of all the players, outside of what we glean from the filings.

The evil ones always live the longest, annoyingly.

Maybe, maybe not. Looking at the answers from her “AOC and Trump” voter cross-section, it seems like you just need to run someone who’s “genuine.” Both of them are seen as genuine or real (whether that’s true or not, it doesn’t matter).

Populism can cut both ways and AOC might be just the ticket we need.
