Why does everyone suddenly seem to think it's ok to say the R word again? I feel like I hadn't heard it in years and suddenly everyone around me is using it, and I see it on Reddit all the time. Am I imagining it? Is anyone seeing this? I don't even know what to say when it's suddenly just everyone in a group and everyone acts like it's normal.

Yeah. Might need to start backing up stuff myself. I noticed a lot of old YouTube videos go missing as well.

Hi! I'm trying to set up faircamp which is like a bandcamp alternative. If I'm understanding correctly it's a self-hosted static site. I'm new to all this. I'm on a mac, so I've installed Brew and then installed Faircamp using Terminal. It's currently pointing to "Audio Music Apps" folder which is full of audio plugins and such. I can't seem to figure out how to point it to a faircamp folder? Does it matter where the faircamp folder is?

I think I am building "from source". A different guide said to install a virtual linux but I don't have the necessary space to install all that.

This is what I've been working from: https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/manual/getting-started.html

This is gross. Meta/ threads / Facebook / Instagram are evil and I hope everyone will block / defederate them

my gmail account is full, most of the space is emails. I tried to download them through "takeout" and it has an option that says hey let's split this up into 2GB chunks. And you select that and it sends you one 12GB .mbox file regardless. The 12GB download keeps failing and now it says you've already downloaded these files too many times. Like gimme a break. Anyone have any experience with this? Any ways to get around the download failing or to force it to send you smaller chunks? Suchhhh a pain.

I hope to move to a different mail thing at some boint. I know y'all are gonna tell me don't use gmail dont use gmail lol.

Thanks!

They sold me a busted drive and ignored me when I tried to get a refund. Would never buy anything from them honestly

Hi,

Can anyone direct me to any resources for how to move away from squarespace? I have a small website on there at the moment and my experience with them has been riddled with bugs and poor customer service, which is very annoying considering how much I pay them.

Is there a good way to move to a free open source alternative. I wouldn't know how to write any code but otherwise I'm reasonably competent I think.

Thanks

Looking forward to more better options coming. In the meantime, personally I think I'd rather buy a durable leather thing than a disposable plastic thing. Idk just been my line of thinking lately. Am not vegan or anything tho.
