"Free School" is a term for a movement born from the 1960's / 70's using educational living & learning practice towards #Caring & #DIY with all others (all at the same time - not an after-thought or specialism in 1 field or person who is a #compartmentalised person ignoring others in other fields). Caring to involves more things, increasingly aiming towards everything...

Long comments use CW to shorten post vertically and add a 'show more' button to reveal more text if you want it. Long posts might seem bad but it's giving chance to more connection and understanding.
All things towards #Freedom (life moving from Shorter to Deeper thought).
Freedom doesn't come from short-depth lifestyles / short lines of text / ignoring / #inaction. Not less communication between lovers of similar things. MORE!)

#FreeSchool ➡ Increment Talking + Peacefully solve everything.
TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
Trust comes from "slowly but surely"... Doesn't have to be all-in, but peace doesn't come from one-way short messaging on 'social' Mastodon either - collecting memes and cats only is limited!
Remember we need develop better humans as well as 'develop' code on computers etc.
☮ Peace needs more... even to save all types of cats!
Get in touch - I'm someone that cares for everything because it's all human-related...
Human #chats welcome - I using #Jitsi audio chat which uses JUST browser (ANY PLATFORM + 2minutes to enter !)
(i.e. no-install / no account / no google / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough, etc!) Really the best out there - any platform / device! Instant audio chat !
Just ask for a link and prepare a few topics!
#AltText used (when I remember).
FREE WORK - I do free audio and video editing (anything considered - just ask).
Again - Creating Trust needs a bit of trust given "slowly but surely"... not all-in... being relaxed about it... but has to be more - 'working' like a 2nd job towards peace because your job isn't going to do it / it's now allow by State to get there! War increases prices etc ☮
So do "peace" as a side-job like it was your real job in the world, parallel to the Capitalism (Trap) you (we) were born into. We have to accept that and fight out of that and not be comfortable in it.
Heart and Soul all the way.

I use #IRC and see many still do.
Old tech is harder to hack on a immediate circumstantial basis, but is also harder to actively access portably.
New tech is the inverse of that, two sides of the same coin, which people usually dismiss the latter for the reason of ease of use being the best choice.
I find it hard to describe myself or define myself....

or define myself.
(see I already had trouble with this 1 line about describing or defining myself !) Some people seem to do it effortlessly but I have to assume they really are functioning as those things (not said in a bad way but they have to do x,y,z mostly so it's defined for them)

@freeschool Yeah... it seems notifications from Mastodon have been intermittent recently. I'm scrolling through me feed and seeing lots that I did not know was there!
Fire up your Amiga! FTW!
🔥📞¯\_(ツ)_/¯📞🔥
Ok not quite but IRC for example will do fine (used by DJ people and gamers for instant 1 room for shouts and comments -
nothing else does that so fast and freely)! So yes IRC ... for those that have fans I mean else XMPP / emails probably !
Old Technology = Better Defence - use mostly older technology as prevention of new tactics and problems...
The best defence is to use mostly older technology.
Privacy = Using Old
Can be a trade-off but consider New = #Spyware and they didn't AND COULDN'T embed as much evil hardware and code - so literally they are limited by you protecting yourself when using limited retro hardware (old mobile phones I mean + including old smart phones).
I admit there are exceptions like operating system that have caught up - using Linux Mint - but even old WinXP install would be ok/better for mostly offline use (the trade off is maybe in WinXP's favour for how easy it is to use / manage system than Liinux for newbie). Could be wrong for this but again phones easier example...
Thinking of Android phone MOSTLY here... so less Android version = less problems + less extra overkill hardware (CRAZY 3 camera on phones, triggers for when you move etc).... NOT NEEDED
Happy to hear thoughts, never perfect but seems old is better limited and less mistakes by user that doesn't choose to undo all the settings or find the secrets to dumbing phone down...
📱 Smart phone but basic one...
+ maximising user to use text more intelligently
+ basic imaging even though you can still use old Android for almost everything I've tried!!
APK stores STILL EXIST for old and I saved those I want for next phone!!...
Also old for #sustainability #Ecology

We have a well drilled deep into the fractured bedrock of the Berkshire Hills. It is slightly acidic and moderately low in minerals (electrical conductivity of 50-100 μS/cm). After filtering through a bed of calcium carbonate to protect the pipes and sweeten the water (de-acidify), it is absolutely delicious.
I installed a restaurant grade faucet in my kitchen recently. Among the many other things I enjoy about it, one of the best came as a complete surprise.
Unlike residential faucets, the restaurant faucet does not have a traditional aerator. The faucet outlet is designed so that at high flows, the water forms a turbulent column of aerated water. But at low flows? Absolutely crystal clear laminar flow with hardly any disturbance. Just a slightly twisting bar of laminar flow. It is a thing of beauty.
And now, I find that I can only drink still water that has poured into my glass via laminar flow, like liquid glass, without the addition of tiny air bubbles. I just love watching it.
Has anyone else discovered the joy of laminar flow?
Yes. I’m

The devastating blow for employees comes in the wake of the mega scandal that saw local branch managers working for the Post Office blamed for errors in the Horizon system that was installed by ICL, which Fujitsu later bought. https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/22/fujitsu_to_cease_operations_in_ireland/

Staying hungry even when you have food.... Starving myself + Warm Flavoured Liquids [=Passive Activism / like Liquitarian Diet]
Staying hungry / Starving myself / Warm Flavoured liquids are my diet
I can help simple processes that are like normal eating but more economising... without big jump,
Just put things there and drink mostly everything (eat solids afer cooking/milking/diluting)
In water form is good for body too and keeps warm / hydrated / good recovery.
⚠️ Not Buying luxury food is the best form of activism I can think of.
Hungry still when you have food...
Make it last as your protest against supermarkets / kindness to Earth.
Why? You do it on your own terms, it's kinder to environment and makes everything last
(reflects also Zizek's "No Way Out" about multiculturalism to our own detriment.
Take food when you really feel and be grateful. Lots of the same good is better sometimes- Potato mainly everywhere in the world.
Essentially only buy these most basic food, mainly:
█Potato
█Salt and pepper for above
then be grateful for
█Bread (old / heavily discounted, dumpster)
█Honey (make friends with bee-keeper),
█Veg (old / heavily discounted, dumpster)
█Spreads / Sauces that last and just give taste to above list
█Leftovers (find from people / encourage contact like a form of Christianity / helping people)
█Rice (not best but if you have a stove that's your heater you can drink water from it / milk rice and then eat it / drink solids)
█ Peanuts - also small and help pass the time, salty
Things that chew or crunch as a psychological help too getting though and working on your life.
█ Mungo beans (sprout in sunlight), Any dry / cheap beans (need cooking but cheaper)
█ Big pot for constantly filling with water and drinking (not eating solids until you feel it's time)
█ Fruit, sweetcorn, oats / oat flakes, cucumbers in jars / pickles...
Everything old / heavily discounted, dumpster, milk / dilute everything... find what you naturally can eat and make last
⚠️ Not buying into bullshit like chocolate - use any sugar in tea, warm liquid instead. ☑️
Hungry... even when you have food.... Make it last as your protest against supermarkets / kindness to Earth.
#Liquitarian style Warm Liquids #Diet #Minimal #Basic Uncomplicated #Food Grains
#Flavour + drink rather than whole solid stuff first (eat solid after)
I can help describe simple processes that are like normal eating but more economising...

"[Honduran President Xiomara] Castro has deemed the forum, called the World Bank’s International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, or ICSID, to be an illegitimate usurpation of Honduran sovereignty and has hit upon an elegant solution: She has taken steps to withdraw Honduras from ICSID."

Rascism awareness by mother = public funeral service + open casket of African American boy tortured and mutilated in 1955
Emmett Louis Till (July 25, 1941 – August 28, 1955) was an African American boy who was abducted, tortured, and lynched in Mississippi in 1955 at the age of 14, after being accused of offending a white woman, Carolyn Bryant, in her family's grocery store.
Till's body was returned to Chicago, where his mother insisted on a public funeral service with an open casket, which was held at Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ.[4] It was later said that "The open-coffin funeral held by Mamie Till Bradley[a] exposed the world to more than her son Emmett Till's bloated, mutilated body. Her decision focused attention on not only American racism and the barbarism of lynching but also the limitations and vulnerabilities of American democracy".[5] Tens of thousands attended his funeral or viewed his open casket, and images of his mutilated body were published in black-oriented magazines and newspapers, rallying popular black support and white sympathy across the U.S. Intense scrutiny was brought to bear on the lack of black civil rights in Mississippi, with newspapers around the U.S. critical of the state.

@freeschool Here are some more pics. The long rail is what's used to start the cuts. Lag bolts hold it to the log, then the mill slides down it to make a straight first cut. Then the saw rides down the log. Simple adjustment for thickness desired.
I use a ripping chain on the saw's 28" bar. Regular cross cut chains suck for milling.
