   Anything at all that weakens him is good. Republicans can be as scared of him as they like, but if they think they’re going to lose their seats, then what Trump thinks will suddenly matter less.

   It’s never a one and done solution. And it’s never a single battle. But every wound that it’s possible to inflict on him is one more victory.

   This isn’t going to be a sprint. It’s going to be a marathon. And at some point, when he starts to get scared, he’ll over-react.

   In all my years on blackblogs I have never received a single comment. I don't think the overly complex apparatus of Wordpress is useful at all; a static HTTPS host with a bit of space for occasional illustrations and a blog generator on your Whonix laptop would do just as well. The hard part isn't the technology, it's the legal risk; very few hosts are willing to take anonymous users via tor and allow political content; for no money, even less.

   It is difficult to reach people without the Internet nowadays, but the state of the Internet for activism is abysmal. In most of the North, any revolutionary position can now be framed as terrorism--in many cases, following the lead of the USA land of free speech, without due process. And even if you can find a stable, supportive host, any web search will only ever return the Platforms, anything not in a walled garden is now deep web. Most orgs around me have given up and risk doing it on Substack or (of all places) Instagram. Spicier things can still go onto indymedia or the library, but these are more like shared communiqués/archives, not places where your group has a presence, a territory.

   There's also the fact that all URLs break whenever something like blackblogs gets taken down. The idea of a political *DNS* host seems even less likely to find, useful though it would be.

   A hot girl thing to do would be to host solarweb-style, on a low-power device that you take steps to a) anonymise the uplink via some Tor or similar connection, and b) rig to self-destruct any data in case of cop (are there good ways to do this? shadow encrypted partition and if you boot into the decoy one, it safe-deletes the hidden one? but if I was tasked with doing a search like cops do, I would try to investigate the devices on the spot and still plugged.)

   a highly opinionated subset of MySQL, "blue MySQL".

   https://blog.koehntopp.info/2022/04/15/sql-engineering-guidelines.html

   This is also codified in several Perl packages that support working with replicated MySQL "right" automatically, so things start to hurt less.

   It is the first time I quote this in writing to my colleagues.

   @AnarchoNinaWrites To prop up and execute Kissinger-McGurk foreign policy dogma no less.

   It would truly be incredible had I not lived through the mostly callous indifference Wasserman-Schultz, Bob Menendez, and the DNC had to the corporate coups in Michigan & Wisconsin in 2010, culminating in the Flint lead attack.

   @dalias @rantanlan @ZaneSelvans for anyone reading this not aware, if it's not clear from my prior comments, I have been doing ad fraud mitigation work for ten years

   The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy, no more, no less.

   It's profoundly idiotic and ironic that the ad industry effectively pays me to exterminate botnets for a living.

   I’ve never seen prolonged delays of a game amount to a great product at the end of it all. They almost always end up cutting expectations, lowering standards, and so on, when a delay should in fact mean the opposite. It means they should be offering more than their initial claim, not less.

   It’s also why you should do production first, hype later. If nobody knows you took 10yrs to complete something, it doesn’t matter that you took 10yrs to complete it. The lesson for us all in our own projects is to shut the fuck up, work on your projects, and never set deadlines, a lesson I’m a hypocrite about because my zine is on a strict schedule lol lmao
