Just wanted to share my excitement about switching to Linux! It's been such an incredible journey and learning experience for me. Not only have I been able to customize my operating system to my heart's content, but I've also been able to join a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about open-source software.

If you're considering making the switch, I highly recommend giving Linux a try!

Have had the #self-hosted home server setup for a couple months now and now getting back into building it up. Current task is getting all media from the external HD to the server so it can be accessed by #Jellyfin anyone else taking control of their services and hosting them at home?

Glad you asked! 😊 Anarchy isn’t “no rules” but “no rulers”. The non-aggression principle is paramount - “Don’t hurt others or take their stuff”.

Government does both of those things as a hard rule.

I would agree with Ammous in that government, no matter how small, will always grow and act out of self interest, as all people do.

I believe this human trait is amplified in the worst way through politics, mainly because it’s comprised of people who seek power over others in addition to being guided by self-interest. At this point it’s incredibly corrupted by central planners who have used and abused the system. It will always end up corrupted this way through cycles of revolution.

The best leaders are not drawn to politics and if they are, they are forced to give up good intentions to play the game. You will have heartfelt leaders step up at the end of a cycle, but if the game itself remains, humanity will remain in the same destructive loop.

“No Government” however, doesn’t mean no governance. I believe we would thrive in voluntary governance, whether that be location based or virtual nations (as described by @jackspirko). Having guideposts and community is essential—but we should be free to choose what structure we submit to.

With a belief in Anarchy, one must hold individual responsibility to the highest standard. If I believe that the potential of humans is being squashed by outsourcing our responsibility to the state, then I must take back control of my individual livelihood.

This is often seen through things like:

-entrepreneurship

-homeschooling

-homesteading

-voluntary leadership

-agorism & counter economics

With Bitcoin and blockchain, we could enact governance systems in the most simplistic way, providing true democracy through decentralization.

If you’re interested in learning more, you can check out books by Samuel Konkin lll like “An Agorist Primer” or “New Libertarian Manifesto”. You can also read the wealth of information provided by Murray Rothbard which provides an on ramp to these ideas.

I often refer to the lifestyle as “voluntarism” so it doesn’t scare off normies. That’s essentially what it is. ❤️
