I run a social media site here in Canada. Several, in fact. Doesn't make me a millionaire or billionaire, in fact I don't run ads or ask for money. I do it because I want to have a place to be free to express myself.
The federal government is willing to regulate the internet. They're going to give themselves a veto over what is allowed to be on the internet. This is a violation of the law. It's obviously a violation of the charter of Rights and freedoms. The problem is that this government has shown that they don't much care for the charter. They will happily violate the law if it means I get to implement their massive violations of basic human rights.
I figure it's only a matter of time before my social media websites go away. They will be replaced by a crtc approved alternative, filled with CanCon that most certainly isn't anything I have to say, and will be and fully open for business when it comes to takedown requests from the government.

As long as we know our governments aren't obeying the law, and are acting to abridge people's ability to have conversations freely, there isn't really going to be that choice for long, is there?
My government is in the process of nationalizing the internet by regulating it like a broadcast so they can dictate what's allowed. One day this instance I self-host is likely to disappear from the Internet.
Meanwhile, useful idiots throw out the word "Nazi" like it means anything except "person who isn't a person and doesn't deserve basic human rights"

They respond to every press inquiry with a poop emoji. Mentioning it as if it's some measured response is why some people start cults worshipping prophetic magic 8-balls.
"you can't have any productive conversations on there because it's a pit of establishment shills, sycophants, and socially accepted hatemongers working together to create a giant circlejerk in which only a very limited number of opinions are allowed on any given topic"
"That may be true, but on the other hand it's very expensive, so it must be good!"

The coolest thing about playing war thunder is all the classified state secrets you'll learn as they're passed in between the glow in the dark people arguing.
I think you can go a step further: During the hard times, that's when old morality is the most important. Frugality, hard work, working together, not harming your neighbors, and above all not coming up with some bullshit that's going to actively hurt you it's all really important at all times but when times are hard you don't have the extra resources to spend on something that isn't beneficial.
We can only afford to try new stuff that's probably wrong when there's enough excess that we won't die by getting it wrong. That's why the baby boomer generation, the generation born into the most material wealth of all time, also made the most changes of all time.

One thing with straws is rather than going with the paper straws that make everyone miserable, why not just go with pla straws that are created from cornstarch, are compostable, and don't dissolve into nothing leaving you flaccid and disappointed?
We can't stop here, this is scholar country.
Poor bastard. He'd see them soon enough.
("Do you have a peer reviewed study for that? How many papers have you published? What's your impact factor?")
Soon it'll be too late...

For instances that want some ddos protection, both nginx and apache have modules that help protect against ddos. There's also options like syn cookies.
I've said many times before: There's nobody coming to save us. We can only save ourselves.

According to various sources, oil has *always* had about a 20 year supply left. (incredible to see an article like this on gizmodo, but it's before the dark times)

Important thing to note is there's already a season 2. I was pretty much expecting a really disappointing thing when I realized it was only 12 episodes, but it's actually decent and comes full circle in a lot of ways. Really wants to tell the Trigun Maximum stories.
