Yeah, I’m aiming for self sufficiency and to reduce as much as I can.

Obviously on the internet you’re not never self sufficient, but liberating my data, owning my domain, and avoiding subscriptions is good.

I know a guy whose former employer used the fact that he plugged a USB into his work machine to threaten to sue him unless he gave up severance when they layer him off.

Don’t use your work machine for anything other than work, ever. Assume it logs everything, assume it will all be used against you as needed.

Assume if you write it on that machine they’ll try and claim it as their IP.

I feel like I just want to check out of society lately.

Charging money to run your own actions, what the fuck?

But the same thought goes with the new increased iOS ads, and just the general state of “now you’re locked in, let the gouging begin” phase of tech. I’m so fucking tired of it.

I know this is self hosted, but man I’m ready to start living in a cave.

Congrats to all the execs, you’ve completely ruined the tech industry.

They’re going up again?

I dropped all of those. I just have a couple services now.

CBC Gem (mostly to support CanCon and local media), one streamer, and I migrated to Qobuz for music.

I’m the spring I’ll go to yard sales for dvds/blu rays. They’re like a dollar there, which is reasonable.

A ton of content I liked is now owned by fascists and Larry Ellison, so I don’t even want to buy new media anymore.
