This is my version of heaven on earth. Sitting in my tractor watching my daughter practice patterns on her horse while my son practices riding motorcycles in the snow. #farmlife #winning #grownostr #motorcycles #horses #tractor

+1 for KVM. You can try virt-manager https://virt-manager.org/ assuming your host is Linux.

Also, if you plan to use EdgeRouters as nodes or gateways, follow the directions found in this github repository. They work. https://github.com/jamesog/tailscale-edgeos

The installation is much easier that it used to be. I have three instances running, one from the v0.20 days that isn't upgraded. I really don't do anything maintenance related other than install security patches for the host operating system. Been running flawlessly for well over a year. I would say to get comfortable with the few terminal commands that you need like "headscale nodes list" to see the status of all nodes that are configured and connected. Have fun! #headscale

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

They lost control of that URL. It is now zapstore.dev

Seems they lost the URL. zapstore.dev is the new one.

Something's up with it. The URL seems to have been hijacked or something.

If you don't see that we're slipping towards a Frank Herbert envisioned future where we fight, lose, somehow win then ultimately outlaw synthetic thinking machines, then you haven't been paying attention. If you don't use said machines to the maximum before they are set on their creators before the war starts, that's on you. The good news is that I think a good number of us will survive it. The rest of this is a distraction and a 20th century hangover. It may also be the beer talking... #ai #dune #endofdays #newbeginnings #farmlife

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

I finally finished baling and made it to my office to try scanning directly from the screen. It worked but it also said that I needed to add wss://groups.0xchat.com to my relays list to add groups from a QR. Perhaps this was the issue. Also, I found and joined the group simply by searching the groups earlier. I just wanted to circle back to this. I just wanted to give you an update.

Got an invalid qr code notification in the app when trying to import from a saved picture file. Even tried cropping the picture to only contain the qr code. Out in a field at the moment so I'll try scanning from a screen when I get back to my office.

Gm! Enjoying the quiet morning while I wait for the dew to burn off. There is something peaceful about round bales in a field on a misty morning. #farmstr #haystr #grownostr #hay

Here's my WTF moment of the day. They are giving out free Naloxone and Fentanyl test kits away at our county 4-H fair. #wtf

This is 2024. The companies and agencies that are poor custodians of our secrets suffer no real consequences when they become public. We have the technologies to solve these problems, there is no incentive to do so. Our only recourse is to refuse to use as many services that require KYC or personal information. It makes me soooo angry. #kyc #data

Nice milking stand. We have one of very similar design. #goatstr

I've lived in a small town in a red state for most of my life, surrounded by a mix of farmers, factory workers, small business and shop owners, as well as people from the local university. In my daily life, I never hear the term "Christian Nationalism." To me, it's a pejorative label used for obvious political purposes.

In my small town, we rely on each other for survival. Race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, or other factors of our neighbors aren't important to us. These are our neighbors, and we value them regardless of their background. The only thing that tends to cause tension is politics. Loud, “in your face” activism to vomit your views onto another person or group is received as a mild form of violence. Calm conversation or debate is not.

I think the term "Christian Nationalism" is an obvious play to energize Liberals, Progressives, and Democrats against some unseen monster lurking in the dark. There is no tangible, organized force of "Christian Nationalists" waiting to take over cities or sweep the country to take away the rights of anyone.

As a Christian, I live by the principle of nonaggression and strive to be kind. I understand that the Church has been responsible for many historical wrongs, not individual Christians. Nationalists, in general, are proud of their country and want the best for it. I’m not sure why this is threatening. The term "Nationalist" often sounds scary due to its word association with the Nazi party, which was officially known as the "National Socialist Party." This is textbook use of a word or phrase that subconsciously links one unrelated thing to another unrelated thing by picking words that are similar.

Perhaps the larger issue is that life in cities and rural areas is completely different. As foreign as living on a different planet in some cases. I believe that people in cities shouldn't be setting policies for rural people, and rural people shouldn't be setting policies for city people. The silliness of this great terror is in its name. I wish we could focus on building our communities and respecting each other's differences, rather than letting politicized labels drive us further apart.

I went on several tangents there, and I apologize for that. Let your people know that there is no army of teeth gnashing, bible thumpers coming to force them to say the pledge of allegiance. If they believe that there is such a group perhaps they should ask themselves why they believe that, who planted that thought in them, to who stands to benefit from that belief…

Shameful. These companies and government agencies are incapable of keeping a secret, and therefore shouldn't require that we give them secrets to keep. They suffer no consequence when they are bad custodians of our information. #endkyc

Awesome Open Source has reviewed some options you may consider. You'll need to dig through the channel a bit but he has some. https://m.youtube.com/@AwesomeOpenSource/featured

Looks like boilerplate contract/TOS language to me. Not necessarily nefarious. In today's lawsuit happy world it may come to the point that every relay operator will need such language to protect themselves as a platform from some of the content passing through their system. It is good to make everyone aware of this however...

The wild blackberries are coming on strong. Enjoying natures little treats and relaxing with the kids are what life is about. #farmstr #farmlife #grownostr

Making #hay is much like normal lawn maintenance. You cut it, dethatch and sweep it, and remove the clippings...just at an industrial scale. #haystr #farmstr #grownostr #farmlife

A great day for making hay. #haystr #grownostr #farmstr #farmlife

Totally agree.
