LE RECENSIONI DI MIM
Se con "L’economia è politica" l’economista Clara Mattei e l’editore Fuoriscena Libri ci hanno raccontato l’evoluzione della dottrina economica con una lente politica, vale a dire come il neoliberismo capitalista sia divenuto un’ideologia totalitaria e apparentemente ineluttabile che influenza nel profondo le nostre esistenze, con il nuovo libro "La salute è mentale è politica" lo psichiatra Piero Cipriano e l’editore milanese provano a condurci in un interessante viaggio all’interno del mondo della cura del disturbo psichico.

One of the Democrats who understands the tone that must be taken, and the actions that must be done, against an illegitimate yet empowered political force that intends to dismantle and destroy democracy and install autocracy.
RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:x7d4y…
It is not necessary to recognize the legitimacy of SCOTUS and Democratic lawmakers and candidates should start talking that way. I want a presidential candidate who recognizes the clear truth that the present body is illegitimate, & vows to ignore the illegitimate body and simply appoint a new one.

Im Irak wurden 80 jesidische Großmütter vom IS lebendig begraben, weil sie als „Teufelsanbeterinnen“ galten und für zu alt, um als Sexsklavinnen zu arbeiten.
Es gab keinen einzigen Protest für sie!
Das Problem besteht darin, dass Mohammedaner keinerlei Gnade empfinden, wenn etwas in den Augen ihres Imams oder Ältestenrates als #haram gilt.

in reply to Mika • • •I've managed to rent one from #SmartHost for relatively cheap (2.95 USD a month) - there's also another option (forgot its name) for cheaper at roughly ~2.17 USD a month I think but only if you pay for it annually.
Anyway, I managed to set up a #WireGuard #VPN on it so now I've a personal VPN server in Tokyo... but I don't really have a use for it for now haha. This is more of an experiment I wanted to do, using a commercial #VPS instead of self-hosting on my #homelab.
Pretty neat, will prolly document it in my Wiki. Anyway, fuck #Linode.

in reply to Mika • • •Be warned that your traffic will be the only traffic to and from that IP. Correlation will be simple.
One of the biggest benefits of a #VPN like @mullvadnet is that your traffic will blend in with that of many other users (and, as a small bonus, the ingress and egress IPs are different from each other).
#MullvadVPN || GTFO.

in reply to Mika • • •I have actually no idea how well contabo is. But the prices they offer is quite good and they have Japan location.
But i must say, contabo is usually referred as either being "beyond shit" or "good enough". So don't expect it to be all smooth. If the performance you need is not that much, i think it would be fine. But for game servers and a like, it is not a good choice.
