Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.
We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.
There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.
Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.
Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.
Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.
Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.
Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this soft of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.
We offer the following federated services:
Friendica.Eskimo.Com
Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.
Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com
Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.
Mastodon.Eskimo.Com
Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.
Misskey.Eskimo.Com
Misskey is, like Mastodon, a microbloging service. However, it’s Japanese design and gives it a much more gamey aesthetic. The software is also extremely efficient allowing for a very fast message rate. If you’ve got a fast mind and can read and comprehend fast, you will appreciate this service.
Yacy.Eskimo.Com
Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.
NextCloud.Eskimo.Com
If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.
If you enjoy these services, please consider supporting us by taking advantage of our paid services: https://www.eskimo.com/

Newsweek and others are coming out with hit pieces about Luigi. They’re trying to make him look bad. Who's behind it?
majority shareholders of United Healthcare are BlackRock, and Vanguard.
\
Incidentally, most of the mainstream media shareholderships are also owned by BlackRock, Vanguard and Blackstone.
\
This is why mainstream media is really trying to suppress stories on Luigi Mangione and assassinate his character. They are controlled by the same business entity. And this is bad for business.
\
Majority shareholders control companies by controlling the Boards of Directors of those companies.

Folks it is about an hour until #MONSTERDON, the weekly monster movie watch party. We've got a very enthusiastic group and a really bad movie this week, so you may want to set up a filter if you don't want to see this.
This week we're watching THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION (1975), an old #MST3k favorite. It's got Alan Hale and a lot of very greasy Wisconsinites.

So let's try to look on the bright side of this movie.
Dan's dead. Ev is dead. Terry's probably alive, so she likely inherits the farm, with all its outer space rocks. She sells it to NASA for an enormous sum and fucks off to Tahiti with her nerd ass reporter boyfriend, never to be seen again. The end. #Monsterdon

He lets out a long string of obvious facts - usually nine or ten of them one after the other. His audience listens carefully looking for nuance and perhaps something new. Nothing new ever shows up.
So you put in considerable brain effort and are getting nothing out of it. Do this nine or ten times and your brain starts to switch off. It's a wasted effort so what's the point.
Then he drops in an obvious falsehood which everybody then mentally skims over and accepts it as true. Repeat ad nauseam

Tonight, something different on #monsterdon
In place of our usual fictional fare, we're watching the 1977 documentary The Giant Spider Invasion. It's about that event, which we've all heard of, in which a black hole opened in rural Wisconsin and let through spiders from the spider dimension. Giant spiders.
Many of us are too young to have lived through the Giant Spider Invasion - I myself was born in 1979, as part of the post-Giant Spider Invasion Baby Boom, so I didn't witness it first hand. My schools were always very hesitant to teach about The Giant Spider Invasion, so it is very much shrouded in mystery for me. My elders were too traumatized and spoke of it only in hushed tones after the children had all gone to bed.
So, I am in for a journey of discovery tonight.
Tuesday humor - enjoy!!

#TikTok’s primary environmental challenge comes from its video-heavy platform, which consumes significantly more energy than text or image-based platforms. The sheer volume of videos, many of which are hosted on energy-intensive servers, makes TikTok one of the most environmentally costly social media platforms on a per-user basis. For example, streaming short videos on TikTok contributes to higher #emissions per minute of use compared to platforms like Twitter or Facebook, which rely more on text and images.
I get it, you want to create a mood for a TikTok ban for “environmental reasons”. Have you ever thought about how many emissions are caused by the consumption of porn videos? Let's just ban everything that's fun. After all, the big oil companies want to continue polluting the environment and society should focus on banning TikTok.

The environmental impact of supposedly renewable energies is considerably greater than that of conventional energies. Before wind power etc., hydropower was considered to be the most environmentally impactful form of energy generation. Of course from an ecological point of view, for most people this doesn't matter, only CO2, because that's the only way to make money.
Have you ever thought about how many emissions are caused by the consumption of porn videos?
That's a good point. But perhaps we shouldn't ban and prohibit everything, but try to reduce needs and cravings.
If anything, I would ban all advertising.
Zionism is racism and the genocide and human rights abuses it rationalizes are fueling anti semitism not making us safer. As a Jewish person I join others around the world saying NOT IN MY NAME.
This horrible colonialist imperialist machine needs to be stopped. The international community is waking up and this cannot and will not be allowed to continue. We all have a duty to act, wherever you are and whatever your background. Crimes against humanity cannot be tolerated. Speak up, take action, don't look away.

E.g., it pretends to be about "working-class" "economic anxiety," when it's really about economic elites rigging the political system to facilitate the flow of wealth from the bottom sectors of society to those who are already grossly rich — and exacerbating social hostilities and hatreds based in race, gender, national origin, religious affiliation, etc., to enable this transfer of wealth.

Hold up, Buddy, not so fast! A 1.7% Popular Vote margin is NOT a mandate for you to destroy OUR country!Pamela Hilliard Owens (We Are Speaking)
"Harris and Walz lost by just a little over one percentage point because of racism and sexism, as well as the malfeasance of the corporate mainstream media, which consistently promoted and 'sanewashed' Trump’s lies and law-breaking and downplayed the accomplishments of Biden and Harris."

This is what this election was about and what makes it so sad. The price of eggs, gas, mortgages or anything else were just covers and excuses for what people were really voting for -- continued white privilege.
Ever since Nixon, I have been waiting and hoping that the "next generation" would see this and begin to vote for tolerance and actual liberty. But it has never happened and I am afraid will not happen in my lifetime.

I know there is a lot of #military and patriotic #propaganda out there and the military industrial complex is on the rise because everyone wants to arm themselves because of the Russian #threat.
Let's pause for a moment and think about the reasons why #war is still being waged today:
1) The number one reason is still #religion. Religion serves to unite one's own #community, but is also always a demarcation against others. In Europe and Russia, religion only plays a subordinate role and the churches are struggling with insignificance.
2) The second important reason is natural #resources. Western Europe has long since used up its natural resources and is therefore plundering other countries, mainly in #Africa. Russia has enough natural resources of its own.
3) Population growth so that new living spaces are needed. In #Europe and #Russia, the #population is declining. As a result, many families only have one child and they don't want to lose it to the war.
4) Important geostrategic positions. Europe is losing importance. Russia's most important trading partners are in #Asia. Europe is strategically insignificant.
Europe is increasingly losing importance and therefore wants to feel important militarily. For Russia, an attack would bring no advantage and only high losses. Russia can infiltrate the weakened political system in Europe much more easily by manipulating elections and causing social unrest with propaganda. This hybrid warfare is much more successful than an open war.

There's a post going around right now that is a long, thorough analysis of the failures of technology in the last decade, and its is very good.
wheresyoured.at/never-forgive-…
It's full of zingers like "The average person’s experience with technology is one so aggressive and violative that I believe it leaves billions of people with a consistent low-grade trauma. We seem, as a society, capable of understanding that social media can hurt us, unsettle us, or make us feel crazed and angry, but I think it’s time to accept that the rest of the tech ecosystem undermines our wellbeing in an equally-insidious way. And most people don’t know it’s happening, because everybody has accepted deeply shitty conditions for the last ten years."
(Thread)
In the last year, I’ve spent about 200,000 words on a kind of personal journey where I’ve tried again and again to work out why everything digital feels so broken, and why it seems to keep getting worse, despite what tech’s “brightest” minds might pr…Edward Zitron (Ed Zitron's Where's Your Ed At)
fantastic read.
and then I got to the bottom of it and was immediately attacked with this.
I'd laugh if I didn't have to cry..
The author names it The Rot Economy, which I think is a good, appropriate, and accurate name.
He touches on Enshitification theory (via @pluralistic ) but spends less time talking about the mechanism by which things are getting worse, and more time talking about the subjective experience of living through enshitification, and also about the growth mindset that enables it.
The analysis is good! The subjective experience of using technology today is deeply painful. We've allowed the shitty smug nerd in our heads to convince us that it's acceptable becuase we know how to deal with it, but it's still a struggle, an assault. It's still Bad.
Growth for the sake of growth is rot.
Seeing it spelled out in very clear terms, in very specific terms, sends a powerful message.
(Cont.)
The call to action section is the weakest part of the piece. It is not weak, but it is weaker than everything else.
I want to talk about that for a second, both what the author recommends and also what I recommend.
The author recommends putting a name to this rot, calling it out, explaining it to others, and identifying the people responsible. This is a great start! Google search didn't just get worse on its own, Prabhakar Raghavan instructed a team to destroy it. There is a person, a team of people, behind this decay.
I see the change for the sake of change / growth at any cost mindset in places where I really shouldn't, thought. Mastodon, for example. It seems like each new release has some new Growth Hack inspired assault. Eugen isn't doing it for exactly the same reasons, but the root is still a mindset that values Growth over every other metric.
We are in an abusive relationship with technology.
So, yes, give it a name. Explain it. Notice it. Be outraged by it.
But also, at every opportunity we have, we have to reject it. (I noted, as I read the original article that I was accosted and asked for my email address twice, the second time while reading a section about how invasive and useless that is)
There are places that the Rot has not yet reached. We must identify them, share them, and embrace them.
(Linux and BSD, the fediverse in general, peertube, physical media, jellyfin/kodi)
When The Rot comes to places that should have been safe, we have to destroy them. Starve them of the users that power them or actually burn them to the ground. If you don't sanitize the area, the Rot will spread.
That means Ubuntu. That means bluesky. That means, in many ways, mastodon as a software platform.
This kind of vigilance is exhausting, and thats the point. Canonical knows that abandoning Ubuntu for Debian will come with a cost, and they're angling that the cost of abandoning Ubuntu is higher than the annoyance youll experience from the advertisements they've shoved in to Apt, or the fact that they partner with Amazon out of the box.
Eugen knows that migrating an instance (or even a single user) off mastodon and on to something else is a big, fragile task. (Hometown exists, and is significantly less GrowthHacky than mastodon, but is a direct migration and mastodon derivative. OTOH, as a mastodon derivative, most of the dev effort has to go in to either improving or undoing what's been done to mainline mastodon.
Account migration exists and works, even to other platforms, but you lose post history (which is a bigger deal for some people than others.)
I'm not saying it's impossible, it's just Effort.)
But there's a beacon of real hope in what I said above, and I'm not sure if you caught it.
When we embrace the free software world, if The Rot does come, we can fight it.
When The Rot comes on Windows, or on Spotify, or on Facebook, we have to either accept that rot or abandon that platform.
When The Rot came for Ubuntu, I had a clear, direct, simple migration path to a platform that was not covered in Rot. The majority of my tools and skills transfer directly. I did not have to make any major changes to my workflow. I had a couple of minor annoyances, I dealt with them, I moved on.
I can (and have planned to for a while, though I haven't actually done it yet) move this fedicerse instance to Hometown without losing anything but a few hours of my day.
There will come a time when the same is true of other platforms and, until then, you can at least preserve your contacts and keep an archive of your posts.
When Plex started tightening the screws, I took my library and left.
Free software is not a silver bullet. It doesn't protect us from The Rot, but it does give us the tools to fight back.
I just woke up so don't have the brain power to respond to this fully other than to say it puts into words what I've been thinking and more.
Funny you should mention Ubuntu, I had made a decision to not use it for years but started using Ubuntu Studio about a month ago. I've been slowly remembering why I stopped using it, and am going to take the opportunity over the holidays to migrate back to something less... that. I saw it as an opportunity to stop distro hopping on the machines I use for work, but it's just been like using an alternate universe Windows.
I don't disagree - with either of you - but I do think that by posing free software as the solution we're saying that commerce can't possibly work in the digital world & that's not great. Commerce is really practical & has served humanity well in myriad ways; just as we must take the physical world back from capitalism to save it, so it must also be with the digital one.
We don't have to take trade out, but we do have to put human beings back in & insist on human-first systems.
So, when you encounter The Rot, name it. Get angry about it. Find out who is responsible for it. Talk about it.
But also, if you're able, fight it directly. If you're able, offer your services in Rot Fighting to your community.
(Even if that Rot Fighting just looks like lending a CD or a bluray.)
even mundane things are affected. I fill up my car late at night at a 24 hour garage. It has "cloud connected" petrol pumps; which back up to the cloud around 02:00-03:00. Whole lot locks out (including the big pumps for lorries), resets during this process and no fuel can be dispensed.
If you arrive at this time, you end up waiting around (often in the cold and pissing rain) for this process to complete.
I didn't drive in the 90s, but I'm sure this didn't happen back then..

Du bonheur d’être par les temps qui courent « momentanément » sourde !!
Accro aux news nationales et internationales orales, écrites, tv, net, je suis pour l’instant je l’espère, sourde à toute source d’info sonore à la suite d’un banal tourment d’oreilles, un bouchon récalcitrant à l’extraction. Cet handicap qui m’a dans un premier temps beaucoup gênée me permet, après réflexion, de mettre à distance toute cette frénésie
« d’infos ». Tous ces apparents débats qui tournent en rond, où raccourcis et contre-vérités pullulent, où supputations nébuleuses, affirmations péremptoires, intentions et aspirations supposées sont le leitmotiv quotidien. Et cela, jusqu’à l’apothéose de l’explication détaillée point par point de ce que je pense, souhaite, espère et revendique en tant que français moyen. Je m’agace, je regimbe, je persifle…Bref, j’énerve tout le monde avec mes commentaires intempestifs qui empêchent d’écouter sereinement « la pensée contemporaine en action ». Vous pourriez me dire personne n’est obligé de se coltiner ces supposés nouvelles insipides. Peut-être ? Mais une mauvaise habitude prise de longue date ? Un manque de discernement ? Une flemme coupable ?.. Les raisons ne manquent pas pour se fourvoyer dans l’erreur. L’image a cet effet hypnotique, anesthésiant qui distrait et fait presque oublier l’essentiel : notre relative incapacité à influencer, imposer et diriger durablement ce magma multiforme insaisissable de forces contradictoires dans lequel nous pataugeons dans l’espoir dérisoire d’entrevoir enfin un avenir radieux. Je vais plutôt mettre à profit cet incident technique pour faire une pause, reposer mes neurones et je l’espère passer définitivement à autre chose….La nature est si belle. !! Mireille MOUTTE

i slept til after 9 for some reason. probably fatigue from car work yesterday. wish i had a lift tbh to get cars up higher cause it's a lot less work than sliding in and out of there repeatedly
i should consider buying one of those sliding rolling sled things. just not sure i can give up that extra 2 inches of height vs laying on cardboard
@shibao reminds me of a time back when i used to take my car in to a mechanic, i was talking to one who was standing under a lift, and the lift suddenly dropped about 5 inches right over his head. almost got squished cause something was wrong with the hydraulics. he noted the look on my face at the time.
decent lifts have some kind of ratcheting mechanism or mechanical stops that engage in case the hydraulics fail, which does happen sometimes. you never want to get under a hydraulic lift without a backup mechanism because when seals fail, it loses pressure suddenly and drops the load
@shibao btw, with retainer pins, rods etc it's generally not possible to bump something and release it. they're all designed that you can't accidentally knock pins out by bumping them.
i always give the vehicle a good shake and lean and push on it before getting under it to be sure it's secure

Moving.
Box by box, your home disappears. Then your furniture. And soon it will all disappear onto a truck, leaving behind an empty shell that both is your home and at the same time is not, just memories or what it so recently was.
You arrive in a new place, but the feeling is different. The rooms strange, the sounds and smells weird. Your familiar stuff arrives, and slowly fills the new place up.
Over time you adapt. You memorize the creaky boards. Which cabinet the coffee mugs are in. Which light switch controls what room. You learn the new neighborhood and where the good shops are. What the best routes are to walk and drive to the pharmacy. Where the traffic bottlenecks are, which neighbors you smile and greet and which you avoid eye contact with.
The new house becomes a home, both familiar, and at the same time different. You drive by your old house, and see strangers inside who have made it their home, and realize it's no longer yours. It's not your neighborhood anymore, and it has become less and less familiar. Some neighbors have moved out, shops have closed and been replaced with new ones. What was once you're home no longer is. Your home is somewhere else.
Then you remember, there are those who have no home. No place to call theirs. They have to move constantly. A car that has to move place to place as they get chased out. A backpack that comes with them from couch to couch. A tent that sits in a median or in a park until it gets tossed in a dumpster. A dangerous and noisy shelter they stay in when it's too cold. Fleeing because their home has become a crater, or because they wouldn't be safe where they live. Just marking time until someone gives them a chance. Something manages to change. Or until they eventually pass on.

Jews are about to start building a new #temple in #Jerusalem, the first since 70 AD. They reckon they have to knock down the glorious Al-Asqa mosque because that is exactly where their new Temple has to be. However that was not the site of their ancient temple: which existed within the ancient walled City of David.
Due north of that is the so-called Temple Mount, which had no temple on it because it was built as a #Roman fortress.
No God will answer the one million prayers stuck into the cracks of the Wailing Wall every year – it’s just the side of what was once Fort Antonia.
This talk will call for a #worldwide campaign to help Jews remember where their #ancient Temple was, and thereby #avoid #WW3.
NICHOLAS KOLLERSTROM, Ph.D., ex-academic and ‘conspiracy theorist,’ has co-run London post-9/11 discussion group for ten years which meets monthly, for which he receives periodic ethical damnation. He has written the only #911 truth book to be banned by Amazon: Who Did 9/11? (2019).
Long ago, in a previous lifetime, he was invited to contribute the ‘Isaac Newton’ entry to the prestigious Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers. His book on the London 7/7 subway bombings, Terror on the Tube (3rd ed., 2011), remains more or less the only book on the subject–which is strange, given the dozens of books about 9/11. His latest publication is The Great British #Coronavirus #Hoax. See article concerning material in that book at James Fetzer website
