I steal crumbs.

Crumbs.

Also I maintain a secret cache of documents underneath the Alaskan tundra with the help of a diesel generator, some very large goggles and a years supply of smoked frozen herring.

  • Purely anecdotal but I was in Costa Rica in September of 2020. I was struck by the difference and better preparedness compared to the US.

    Every store and place of business had not only signs and hand sanitizer at the entrance, nobody was in stores without masks, and I drove by a line of people over half a mile long and 3-4 people deep, of people waiting in line for hours to get vaccinated.

    The taxi driver told me there was some program to provide vaccines to CR and what he did was stay in line and hold the place for his family for awhile and then they would wait in line allowing him to work for awhile. Overall they took public safety measures much more seriously than the US, but I was in a wealthier urban area, don’t know how it was in the rural areas.














  • I like 3 also. if you can’t get a good user experience privacy matters less because there are no users, and anyone can spin up a super privacy enhanced instance if they want.

    I was thinking however that a super stand alone image server would be a great thing for Lemmy, and pixelfed and the Fediverse in general.

    Imgur blew up and was the go to for image hosting on Reddit for years, until Reddit realized it was leaking traffic and users to them and started their own. But hosting images has a lot of potential headaches like copyright violations and big corps suing you into oblivion, in addition to inadvertently hosting illegal stuff. The Fediverse will need some good image hosting servers and video hosting servers as part of the plan in the long run though.
