Proton acquired StandardNotes to much fanfare over a year ago but still hasn't been integrated into Proton's auth or product line more generally, which is a bit odd.

Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over--twelve wicker baskets full. (Matthew 14:19--20)
A key detail in this miracle is often overlooked: Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes through the disciples. He invited them to distribute the food and gather the leftovers. This highlights how God often uses us as channels of His grace. Though He can act directly, He typically chooses to work through others.
Picture yourself as one of the disciples. You're hungry, and Jesus gives you bread--but instructs you to give it away. You might be tempted to eat it first. Similarly, when God blesses us, we often think we must care for ourselves before we can help others. But if the disciples had eaten first, the miracle wouldn't have unfolded as it did. Because they gave before receiving, they ended up with more than enough.
The same principle applies to spiritual gifts. When God gives us peace, joy, or insight, it's not meant to be hoarded. Grace is always given to be shared. And when we give it away, it multiplies. If you receive a spiritual insight, it's meant to be shared. If God gives you consolation or peace, offer it to someone in need. This is the pattern of divine generosity.
Reflect today on this miraculous feeding. See the bread as a symbol of every grace you've received. What has God given you that He wants you to share? Have you held onto certain gifts for yourself? True grace grows when given away. If you trust in this truth and give freely, you too will find yourself holding an overflowing basket.

Bitches. Now, what's an affordable/competitively-priced #VPS option that allows you to pick which region/country the server is hosting from, and includes Japan?
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.
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.
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.
VPS with a lot of computing power for less. All instances have truckloads of RAM (starts from 4 GB), disk space, and 32 TB of traffic. Spin up your VPS now!contabo.com

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.
