Yep. That's the number one contender. Well right after overriding default DERP's with my own VPS machines. I'll definitely try it out over some weekend.

One of my other concerns with this and other solutions suggested is the reliance on wireguard which can be subject to fingerprinting and censorship. Do you happen to know if it'd be possible to swap out Headscale's implementation of wireguard to amnezia? I'll have to do my homework anyway, but who knows, maybe there are some pitfalls to avoid.

Tailscale... is not that good. The underlying wireguard is robust, but tailscale control plane is completely proprietary, as well as their DERP servers that it too often uses completely needlessly. They can also block you off from downloading it, updating, or logging in, if you happen to be in a wrong country.

I'm myself looking for an alternative to it, but having trouble finding something I could share with non tech savvy friends while not being as complex on my end as, say, open/strongswan ais. Any suggestions welcome.

And ban all Israelis

You're in luck because bluesky is literally the only one with that exact feature. Just search for user lists, which you can use to subscribe en-masse, or, conversely, nothing's preventing you from using them as block lists. There are probably few out there where bots monitor for anyone who ever spoke hebrew, which should fit your purpose

An app developed by hobbyists who, if not passionate about it, at least care enough to spend their time developing and contributing to it, even if it's free

vs.

An all-star team of designers and engineers who are bogged down in corporate bureaucracy and do the absolute minimum to maintain their positions, while saving energy to do things that they actually enjoy. Like, oftentimes, it is developing the aforementioned free apps.

A couple of questions (from someone not from US):

• Can't he just presidential pardon himself?

• Even if put in jail, can he continue to act as a president? Like, give out orders, hold meetings, etc?

I highly doubt that most people even considered Gaza issue when deciding who they vote for. It's mostly lemmy/farleft thing.

They could try to employ some kind of Apple defense, like, you wouldn't hit Apple for having monopoly on iOS. As long as it's not the only solution on the market. And for web, most of time, you could access the same resources and get similar experience by downloading... the apps... wait, they have a monopoly on that, too. Well, they are completely screwed in that case.

We don't get to vote over here, unfortunately. There's this whole spectacle of ballot casting, but there is no vote counting. Even if there was, there's nobody left to watch over them as every opposition party member is either in jail or exiled.

But even if there were fair elections, I believe most of the support from Russians in a 2016 election was more of a "haha, watch the US destroy itself by electing an imbecile", rather than actually believing what Trump's had to say. So... probably not.

Just don't make the mistake I've did at buying an electric bicycle. The controllers for the engines are mostly proprietary barely sewn together noname pieces of garbage, that you'd need some bullshit adapters and obscure software to flash settings in.

Also don't dig yourself too deep into cycling. There are good quality bicycles at a cost of a motorcycle or even a used car, and then there's aliexpress specials made of whatever was lying around, but there are very few in-between options. I'd suggest just getting the latter and throwing it out when it breaks or you get bored.

Votes decide which comments get shown or not, and in which order. If you don't care whether you are being heard, then you might as well just talk to a wall.

You get reactions on your comments? Reddit is notorious at gaslighting you and never showing your comments (and even posts) to anyone but you and the people you've shared direct link to. It does this to something like tenth to third of your comments, depending on how civil you are.

Though, to be fair, it's not even the worst at it. Youtube is where you go if you want to throw your thoughts directly into a black hole.

~/Sources for stuff I'm only building from sources and no immediate intention to contribute to

~/Projects for stuff I'm involved in, with a following structure:

Projects
 - Personal
 - - Art
 - - Music
 - - Code
 - - - Ideas
 - - - In progress
 - - - Deployed
 - - - Scripts
 - - - Abandoned
 - [Company name]
 - - [Project name]
 - Interviews
 - - [Company name]

The last part grouping project by companies has worked great for me, especially with freelance and outsource work. Sorting personal projects into types and stages feels like a mistake, as every time I have to navigate it, I can't help but think of limitations of hierarchical file systems, as some of them are multiple types simultaneously, and also moving projects between stages feels dumb.
