One of Kurt Vonnegut Jr's most brilliant ideas was the concept of the granfalloon.
"A granfalloon, in the fictional religion of Bokononism (created by Kurt Vonnegut in his 1963 novel Cat's Cradle), is defined as a "false karass". That is, it is a group of people who affect a shared identity or purpose, but whose mutual association is meaningless."
A government or a state is an entity that is purely fiction. Propagated by indoctrination to public school and the media but who has no real legitimacy, and whose existence is mitigated by logic...(Which is why the corporate controlled media nowadays is at war with logic and critical thinking).
"The very concept that a small group of men, chosen by dubious popularity contest, have some sort of moral or ethical responsibility to use violence, coercion, extortion, and murder to press their ideas on the rest of society is not only illogical, it is immoral and criminally insane." -Gary Williams

Admin of todon.nl suggests, and rightly so, that the default/flagship Mastodon instance (isn’t decentralisation great?) be moved to a more neutral jurisdiction than Germany:
“Herewith the urgent request to move the Mastodon server presented to new users as the default (mastodon.social) to a more neutral jurisdiction (e.g. Switzerland). An alternative is to set up a new Mastodon server in a more neutral jurisdiction, which can then serve as a new flagship server.
The trigger for this is the regular negative moderation of people who speak out against the largest and bloodiest genocide of our time, the one in Palestine. In particular they use (or abuse, how you want to look at it) of a German law that seeks to counter so-called Holocaust reversal. With hiding behind this law, the moderators of mastodon.social (and especially its owner) are also unwittingly sitting in the chair of the (German) judge.
Apart from the fact that one local law should not affect the entire Mastodon project, the question is whether this law and the concept of Holocaust reversal are legally tenable in an international context.”
github.com/mastodon/mastodon/d…
Mastodon mod closes the ticket after stating “There is no current plan to make changes to the Mastodon instances operated by Mastodon gGmbH. People are free to choose any Mastodon server when signing up for the platform.”
And this (see screenshot) is what that “choice” looks like.
This decentralisation anti-pattern – along with the fact that they didn’t close registrations after hitting a certain size to create a social precedent and allow distribution to other servers (as I advised Eugen to do back in the day) – is why there is a flagship instance to begin with when it’s an absolute contradiction of terms in a system that purports to be decentralised.

Discussing a breaking change in Python's setuptools.
The really interesting part is in the discussion section.... and it shows once more how incredibly well-designed the GNU Guix package manager is -- which solves these problems very very well, for arbitrary languages and with a fast growing distribution of, by now, about 50,000 packages.
In late March, version 78.0.1 of Setuptools — an important Python packaging tool — was released [...]LWN.net
Guix is really making fantastic progress and is a good alternative in the space between stable and fully FOSS distributions, likes Debian, and distributions which are more up-to-date, like Arch.
And one interesting thing is that the number of packages is now so large that one can frequently install additional more recent packages on a Debian systems, or ones that are not packaged by Debian.
For example, I run Debian stable as base system, Guix as extra package manager (and Arch in a VM for trying out latest software for programming).
The thing is now Guix often provides more recent packages tham Debian, like many Rust command line tools, where Debian is lagging a bit. There are many interesting ones, and most are recent because Rust is progressing so fast. Using Guix, I can install them without using the language package manager, regardless whether iy is written in Rust, Go, or Python 3.13.
Or, today I read an article about improvements in spaced repetition learning algorithms. It mentioned that the FLOSS software Anki provided it, and I became curious and wanted to have a look at Anki. Well, Debian has no "anki" package - and it is written, among other languages, im Python and Rust, so good luck getting it on Debian stable. But for Guix, I only had to do "guix install anki" and had it installed.
This works a tad slower than apt-get ... but it still saves time compared to installing stuff and dependencies manually.

This guide presumes that we're starting from a minimalist Debian LXC container, setting up the username server76
and the installation path /opt/server76/
. From within a root
shell simply run the following commands to create the user and the directory.
useradd -m -d /opt/server76/ -G sudo -s /sbin/nologin server76 && mkdir /opt/server76 && chown -R server76:server76 /opt/server76
sudo
the user will be able to run commands as root
later which will ease up the installation process.The user needs a password so supply one with the passwd
command. If you're feeling lucky, you can also delete the randomized password by running passwd
with the parameter -d
. Be aware that deleting the password will lead to security nightmares if there is ever an RCE exploit for Server76.
passwd server76
Install necessary packages and add support for i386 packages (needed for steamcmd
). Make sure to have Debian's non-free
component activated in your sources.list
if you want to install steamcmd
.
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt update
apt install wget p7zip sudo nano anacron steamcmd:i386
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/debian/$(cut -d. -f1 /etc/debian_version)/packages-microsoft-prod.deb && apt install ./packages-microsoft-prod.deb && rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb
apt update && apt install dotnet-runtime-8.0
/opt/server76
and run a shell you like as server76
.cd /opt/server76 && su -s /bin/bash server76
Fetch the latest version of Server76 with the following command.
wget https://myfo.online/releases/linuxrelease_$(date -I).7z
wget
returns a 404, check out the project's discord for a new download URL. At the time of writing they were storing their releases with a simple ISO formatted date suffix.Extract the archive's content to the subdirectory bin
with p7zip
. The directory doesn't have to exist, it will be created automatically if needed.
7zr x -obin linuxrelease_$(date -I).7z
chmod
.rm linuxrelease_$(date -I).7z && chmod +x bin/Server76.Server
Now dump your Fallout76 1.4.1.6 ESM and BA2 files into the ServerData directory /opt/server76/bin/ServerData
. If you need to upload them from a remote location, keep in mind that you might have to enable login for the user if you want to use rsync
or scp
/sftp
.
If you want to use steamcmd
, modify the following script to represent your login data and save it as ~/download_f76
:
login <user> <password>
download_depot 1151340 1151343 9006394379407093964
download_depot 1151340 1151342 1065890720657377764
/usr/games/steamcmd +runscript ~/download_f76
. If you've activated 2FA for your Steam account, you'll be asked for your Steam Guard code. It'll take a while until everything's downloaded.Once the downloads have finished, you may move the files to the directory mentioned above and tidy up your downloads. Don't forget to remove or protect the above script because you probably don't want to have your Steam account's credentials lying around in plain text.
find ~/.local/share/Steam/steamcmd/linux32/steamapps/content/app_1151340/ -type f -iname *.esm -exec mv {} ~/bin/ServerData/ \; -o -iname *.ba2 -exec mv {} ~/bin/ServerData/ \;
rm -r ~/.local/share/Steam/steamcmd
Run the server ~/bin/Server76.Server
once to let it build initial structures. This will take a while. If it fails with an error message suggesting that CSV files could not be found because the devs once forgot that Linux is case-sensitive, add a symlink with ln -s /opt/server76/bin/ServerData/CSV /opt/server76/bin/ServerData/csv
.
It also may fail because of a missing override
directory so create one with mkdir -p /opt/server76/bin/ServerData/overrides
. You may stop the process when you spot Verbose: World State Service ready...
.
Now add a systemd service for Server76. This allows us to start/stop/restart Server76 without lousy tricks like screen
or tmux
and adds a nice way of logging. Additionally, it automatically restarts Server76 if something went wrong.
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/server76.service
[Unit]
Description=Server76 - a stand-alone private Fallout76 server
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/opt/server76/bin/Server76.Server
WorkingDirectory=/opt/server76/bin
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
KillMode=process
Restart=always
User=server76
\#Nice=-5
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
#
when Server76 runs choppy.Now it's time to reload systemd, enable our new service and start it.
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now server76
sudo systemctl status server76
or it's stdout log with sudo journalctl -u server76.service
. Add the user server76
to the group adm
if you want to omit sudo
for journalctl
.
While not necessary, one might find joy in having a fresh copy of Server76 delivered on a daily or weekly basis. To simplify the process we've already installed anacron
above. Just throw the below script in one of the /etc/cron.*
-directories (e. g. /etc/cron.daily
or /etc/cron.weekly
).
\#!/bin/bash
SRVDIR="/opt/server76/bin"
ZIPFILE=$(mktemp --suffix .7z)
systemctl stop server76
wget https://myfo.online/releases/linuxrelease_$(date -I).7z -O $ZIPFILE
7zr x -o$SRVDIR -aoa $ZIPFILE
rm $ZIPFILE
chown -R server76:server76 $SRVDIR

They want the ability to critique and control women's participation in the public sphere. It's fucking horribly regressive, and it *will* get out of hand quickly. It already is.
Artemis
in reply to Artemis • • •Trans women are an easily vilified group of women, whose "otherness" can be used an excuse to police all women.
Trans rights are human rights, and trans women's rights are women's rights.
Women have a right not to be scrutinized for how we choose to participate (or not) in femininity. We have a right to live our lives without proving anything to anyone. We should not need to ask for permission to exist in public.
Artemis
in reply to Artemis • • •Meanwhile to these people, trans men don't exist.
Persons perceived as feminine are not granted the right of self-determination, are not granted their own identities. When persons designated "feminine" by society cease to perform femininity as demanded, it is tantamount to ceasing to exist.
For these people, to be a trans woman is to be a pariah. To be a trans man is to be a ghost. There is only one way for female-designated persons to exist.
That is not freedom. That is a denial of humanity.
Artemis
in reply to Artemis • • •Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Non-binary people are...well, whatever they say they are... that's a mixed bag of individual identities, to say the least.
People who want to restrict trans rights want to restrict human rights. They want to set the boundaries of what it means to be human and force everyone to obey.
Transphobia is a form of proto-fascism.
Artemis
in reply to Artemis • • •As a genderqueer cis-ish woman (it's complicated), anything that hurts trans women hurts me. Any right people want to deny to trans women is a right that now can be refused to me also.
If there is a standard for who is and isn't a woman in the "right" way that determines how you are allowed to interact with the world, then women don't have rights. We have obligations. We have to earn our participation in the world. We have to prove we are deserving of it by the degree of our femininity.
Artemis
in reply to Artemis • • •I wish more cis women would understand that the way society treats trans people is inextricably related to our rights as women to individuality and self-determination and to our ability to freely exist in society.
The idea that trans men are "lost" women should tell you that they believe that your feminine body and your existence as a feminine person is something you *owe* to the world. If you cease to perform femininity, you have taken something away from others that was rightfully owed them.
Artemis
in reply to Artemis • • •When someone "grieves the loss" of "girls" who are actually trans men, they are saying that those men's bodies never belonged to themselves but to others. Especially when they talk about things like top-surgery or sterilization.
Bodies perceived as "feminine" are not to be altered because somehow it is important to others that we have breasts and functioning wombs.
Cis women, this should concern you. Deeply.

I wouldn't say "don't exist". Quite the opposite. To them, trans men exist, and are a dangerous deviation from femininity, that needs to be corrected. Ater the UK Supreme Court ruling, it was made clear (I think by the EHRC?) that trans men can be barred from both men and womens toilets, for instance.
The TERF "lost sisters" rhetoric, one camp further to the right, amounts to violent detransition, conversion torture, and ultimately mandatory breeding. The TERF crusades against "person with uterus", "menstruating people", etc. rhetoric has proven that excluding trans men from all things womens rights – contraception, abortion, etc. – is the plan and the point.
To say "trans men don't exist" is to miss the entire flip side of the coin which is not only to villfy trans women as a means of controlling women's public existence in general, but also to punish deviation from the feminine/female norm to the fullest extent.
Don't let them divide us.

Thinking about the contrast between that, and the accounts I read from 2012-2018 of highschool women's teams beating their male counterparts in friendly matches.

in reply to Artemis • • •I kinda disagree: misogyny in ALLLL it's forms (misogynoir, transmisogyny, lesbophobia, etc... ) is the core threat.
The current climate is starting with trying to kill off transrights, because it gets the biggest buy-in with religious folks. But the project 2025 goal is seriously to return all womb-bearers to the role of property and not a fully recognize human.
transphobes are afraid of women being considered fully human, so they do everything to make sure that anyone they don't consider a "real male" are being subjected to enforced "norms" that don't allow for bodily autonomy.
transphobes come in all genders, too.
terfygirls who fear strong women are just as evil toward transwomen as the skeeered menz are, because terfygirl is afraid to or unable to stand up for their own bodily autonomy and/or life goals. It doesn't matter if the Person that intimidates them is AFAB&non-feminine, AFAB-transmasc, or AMAB-transfem.
These all are fully SELF-recognized persons. Terfygirl feels her entrapment, but instead of working to free herself - she must Oppress others. She does not believe in her own personhood, or it's been beaten out of her.
A friend of mine (now passed from cancer) was embracing the terfygirl monologue. She was a battered child, teen, and adult. She was very damaged and lived in pain. But even through that - she never accepted that a cis woman would ever abuse her. When her female partner of over a decade (of siphoning off my friends savings) found that friend had cancer - partner became ex really fast when they learned that the savings were gone, and (ex-)partner was expected to be paying for the medical expenses and household expenses from her salary. Ex had freeloaded themselves into the position with promises of future earnings, but when it became a real requirement - ex split fast and ugly.
Even after the ex was gone, and friend was facing the end, transwomen were still (in her mind) the biggest threat to her heath and safety in "women-only" spaces.
To her - her personal safety was jeopardized by their presence in (online/virtual) women-only spaces.
I could not understand it, but I saw it IRL.
So - yes, transphobes and transmisogyny are serious issues, but I see both as cloaking of the true misogyny behind it.
