Good point yeah. At least so far, lets hope our democracies are defensible enough to suvive this bullshit for a couple more years

As funny as this is, the populist right is on the rise across europe too

Sweden having the SD in their government, germany looking at the AfD getting a shot at coalition..

All that to say our far right (I think right of the dems) are also real and threatening democracy across the continent

defensiven Architektur

was für ein scheißbegriff.
(menschen-)feindliche Architektur wohl eher.
Das englische "hostile design" triffts echt besser.

Should More of Us Be Moving to Live Near Friends? in c/solarpunk@slrpnk.net
[–] shapesandstuff@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thats a big "depends".

A lot of us are in tech, so remote is a possibility. Alternatively nearby the big city we live in currently would be ideal. However in my heart of hearts I'd hope that we could arrange in a way where only those that want to work do work. The rest take care of the house, the garden..

Idk im from central/western europe too. For me family is a difficult topic, since I'd like to cut some out but i dont have the heart to go through with it fully.

So low contact it is. Idk what the future holds, but i cant see myself caring for that part of the family personally. Sure, I'll arrange caretakers etc but I'm never gonna have that person live in my hypothetical mansion.

Decentralized VPNs - clueless edition (feddit.org)

EDIT: sorry for the rambly post here's a quick clarification I wanted a decentralized/open source variant of something like NordVPN etc.

Crypto-based options I found: Sentinel, Mysterium , Orchid All of those are on the Blockchain and use their own coins as a payment system, both to pay usage fees and to pay out node-hosts. Not sure if that's my jam.

I tried to use the search and came up short - so point me elsewhere if there's already a discussion.

Let me preface this by saying I'm pretty green when it comes to a lot of the deeper aspects of FOSS privacy tools. Meaning that i'm probably more clueless about this topic than I realise.

Had a bit of a shower thought moment earlier and googled if decentralized VPNs are an option for the occasional torrent.
Did a bit of a google and came up with a couple of options, seemingly all tied into a blockchain with their own coin for payments - either using or hosting a node.

I'm a bit allergic to cryptobros and their blockchain-everything-mentality but I suppose it's not a terrible system for the usecase?

So are there people on here who have hands-on experience with this? Is it a valid tool for safer browsing and torrenting?

Are there any obvious alternatives I should look into?

Are there any obvious risks I'm not aware of?

Is the concept flawed altogether?

What's currently the "biggest" metal band? (feddit.org)
 

Basically Title.

Been to Wacken recently and a friend and I were discussing what could be seen as the biggest name in metal currently.
Since we're "old", we could only come up with yesteryears titans.

Are there any more recent names that currently dominate the industry? Get played on day to day radio like our childhood bands did?
