get out and make some noise. seriously - find a group (protest, town hall, whatever) and show up. repeatedly.
the wife and I are heading to another small protest in our very red town today. we have our banner, handouts and cowbells ready. going to get dirty looks (we dont give a fuck anymore) and supportive honks.
the more others see resistance, the more likely they are to agree that this is not normal.
alone you can do very little, but many yous can do a great deal.
reminding myself that this is the second extortion attempt zelenskyy has faced at the (tiny) hands of trump.
the man has had some unbelievably bad luck politically, but has managed to hold his shit together in the face of the most powerful, unhinged nutjob on the planet. twice.
I had the privilege of being in a room, just 10 feet away from bernie for 45 minutes listening to a semi-public stratagy session on the 2020 campaign. I have never met a more forthright, empathetic and human politician.
Both Republican congressmen criticized Sanders' visit, with Van Orden calling him a millionaire who "has never worked an honest day."
funny how writing a series of best selling books about his lived experiences as an advocate, organizer and legislator can bring in money under a capitalist system.
those who dont lose their souls while working within the system to bring about change are rare. while I may not agree with him 100% of the time, bernie has yet to show me any reason to withdraw my support.
exactly. the fascists put in the hard propaganda work for the past 40 years. yesterday is gone but today, and every future day, is the second best time to pull up and push back.
depending on specs it will be a little power hungry, but a good virtualization platform.
yes, the power supplies are likely redundant and the server will complain if they are not both powered.
it will use a VGA connection, but you should be ale to find cheap VGA monitors or cheap adapters.
RAID controllerfor those drives?
how many processors and cores?
how much RAM?
what OS are you planning on running on it?
iDRAC included? (if so, likely idrac6, but still usable)
this hardware is very well supported by linux - I have used these older servers extensively. your boss was right to be excited for you. its a great exploration platform that you will be able to do lots of things with.
fire up a live linux distro and get detailed specs on the box - that will guide what you can play with right away.
properly setup Tor covers both of those. with proper opsec (admittedly quite hard to do), disconnecting the account from an IP or locality is a legitimate part of the protection puzzle.
some instances do block Tor exit nodes, so if your current home instance blocks you will have issues. federation ftw; use an instance that accepts Tor exit nodes.
does anyone know of an instance offering .onion addresses?
I have zero special knowledge, but generic history would suggest that at least some in the officer class, regardless of political leaning, will not be down with the current trajectory.
no idea what this may look like, but my worthless analysis portends something brewing ahead and it may be wise to consider possibilities and prep accordingly. fuck these "interesting times".
Per Silverman’s research, Martynov was an officer in the technical espionage division of the Russian intelligence agency back in 1980, when he was sent to the United States to serve as an undercover agent at the Soviet Embassy in Washington, D.C. About two years into his stay, Martynov got flipped by the FBI and started to feed the US government Soviet secrets.

opinions vary, but I dont think we are at the ammo box stage quite yet.
