Google, Android -
@peter I was fed up with that BS. I put my music on S3, pointed https://asti.ga at it, then setup DSub on my Android to point at that (but there are many other compatible music apps).
I started by using Nextcloud, but wasn't able to devote enough server resources to it at a cheap enough price for that to be worth the while.
Announcing the 0kb.club
The WWW has become a bloated mess. Many pages are loading megabytes of Javascript to show you a few kilobytes of content. These things are a cancerous growth on the web and we should stand up against it.
We can make a difference - no matter how small it may seem. The 0kb Club is a collection of web pages that focus on performance, efficiency and accessibility.
There’s no need to suggest new web pages for the 0kb Club. All pages that are truly without bloat are already on there.
If your pages exceeds 0kb, you might consider the 250kb.club or the 1MB.club which are the inspiration for this page.
@Demosthenes @freemo and he's just been very confusing. He seemed to believe every side of every story all at the same time. Hard to tell what's going to happen next.
I think Sun Tzu would've approved, I guess.
@freemo @Demosthenes I don't know man, I think it's the media that can influence the masses like that, so that's who you're referring to... And I've seen CNN and Fox, MotherJones and NewsMax, that guy who was recently given the peace medal and NPR... I know which side looks more like fear-based propaganda to me.
But I have seen what you're talking about from CNN too.
@Demosthenes @freemo 😆 she almost got herself kidnapped. Then the right went marching in the streets with open carry rifles.
Nobody gonna start violence in the daytime when everyone's carrying.
@freemo @Demosthenes I would say that neither side is actually advocating for violence. That's what I would say.
Aside from decisions about done strikes, which I put in a different category...
The right does not advocate for violence. The left does not either.
There are people on both sides that are advocating for violence, but they do not represent their whole "side".
There are fine people on both sides also. Just not on that one weekend in Carolina.

"Whitmer blasts 'rise up' tweet from Trump adviser amid new COVID-19 restrictions"
@Demosthenes @freemo thanks for saying it better than I was figuring out...
@freemo @Demosthenes sorry, responded in the wrong spot...
@freemo @Demosthenes Obama and Biden specifically, publicly, repeatedly called for an end to the violence and looting we're talking about, while Trump told his wing to stand by. So @Demosthenes I take it you're talking about how Trump's team would leverage such a "liberal violence" situation...
@freemo @Demosthenes The anti-police-killing-black-people-senselessly protests, and specifically the minority that turned violent, are the main instance of that which I can think of.
I say minority because there were tons of cities and small towns where no such violence occurred, despite protests. Then there were lots of cities where looting or property damage occurred, but we're certainly not talking about a war in those places..
@Demosthenes @freemo based on what? (actually interested, not challenging)
@freemo @Demosthenes we did see violence from the right several times these past few years.
I'll not disagree that folks got way out of hand in Philly...
@freemo @Demosthenes "I think it says a lot if the assumption is that if liberals loose an election they might get violent to the point of killing and starting a civil war"
There's the quote. If you aren't suggesting that liberals losing an election is the cause of violence you're worried about, then I think you aren't being careful with your rhetoric.
And that is probably a large part of what causes left/right misunderstandings in my opinion.
@Demosthenes @freemo Philly does that before a Superbowl.
@freemo @Demosthenes That's not because Trump was elected though. It's not because a liberal lost an election. Which is the specific irrational fear you're discussing.
@freemo @Demosthenes "you have no evidence to support those fears are at all unfounded and remain unanswered."
Except you know, like, the last 4 years when we haven't had violence due to an election result.
@Vollmer the "static site" philosophy in general is pretty awesome, and Hugo is a fantastic way to get there. The community is pretty friendly too, and responsive to the occasional bugs you can find while balancing on the edge of some deep, poorly documented part...
