Do not forget that there is no democracy out there. No matter if it is USA, EU, Russia, they are all as far from democracy as Andromeda galaxy is from us. Humans "elect" a few others, in questionable ways, and then the few others take whatever decisions they want.
Have Russian creatures voted for this war? Was it a democratic decision? How about the American creatures, did they vote to go to Iraq or Vietnam and massacre those people? None voted.
Democracy is a myth, a ridiculous idea that has nothing to do with how anything is organized on this planet, or should be organized perhaps. Profit, birthed by trade, is a lot more of an influencer than anything else.
And so, if you get angry at Russia, do not forget that are not the Russians attacking anyone, but a handful of powerful people. Also do not forget that USA, EU, and the rest of the world, share the same bloody hands, but yet again it is not the people, but a handful few.
We cannot resolve conflict with conflict in the long run. Sure, it may be necessary to act aggressively if you are attacked, in order to protect yourself, but if there is no plan, no understanding, no approach at how to prevent such situations, your solution is momentary at best.
We need weapons of mass-helping rather than mass-killing. So that we create a global society of humans, who have free time to educate themselves, think, learn, create relationships, research, be creative, help each other. The only way out, long term, is to attack the world with solutions. To move beyond this mass-trading society. To free men from trade. To free the world from its effects.
War is not about who is right, but about who is left.

As a citizen of a country which has done some really terrible things in the past, I want to remind everyone that de-platforming citizens because their government is out of control is not brave or powerful. It's like banning Muslims from your shop after a terror attack, don't do it.
In other news, I'll be looking for a new dns registrar, recommendations welcome.

The government’s action is troubling enough, but what should really disturb us is the ease and invisibility with which it is being done. When we can’t see the consequences of government conduct, the risks of government misconduct increases.
The non-US world really should be looking at Google, Amazon and Microsoft as analogous to Nord Stream 2.
A big one-way money and autonomy pipeline, out of your country, into another one that you don't control, that has an authoritarian political culture with strong Fascist elements, with which you are not *currently* at actual war, but.... if things went sideways, it would be able to hold your entire economy and government hostage.
Yes, US cloud services are cheap. So is Nord Stream 2 gas.

Friday Oct 1, starting at 10:00 and going on until 17:00 (likely a bit later, too—no guarantees!) the hackerspace Lodis will open its doors to any & all people interested in the space! Feel free to drop by at any time and stay for 5 minutes or 5 hours.
Lunch
At 12:00 we will be in the building's restaurant Mygel ordering extremely well-made vegetarian (w/ vegan options!) dishes for lunch. After ordering, we will likely bring our plates to eat together at the long dining table on the floor above the hackerspace. For the person on a budget (or with that lunch box you really just have to eat because—is that mold no wait maybe it's just thyme—) there are also freely available microwave ovens.
People staying longer are welcome to work on their projects (as long as it aligns with at least 4/5th of the space's principles, see the principles section at the bottom of the email), sample our tea collection—or just ask questions, chat and hang out. Responsible for this edition of Öppen Lodis (unsanctioned name) will be Jacob and Louise!
...Workshop rumors??
There are also rumors of a lockpicking workshop that will be held during the day—verifying those rumors are, however, left to the reader as an exercise (2x true if biking).
Contact
If you need to get in, reach out to either Jacob or Louise! If you lack contact details and want to pop by, just reply to this event and we'll hook you up!
Attending
We'd appreciate it if you tried to click attend on this event and let us know how things worked out! (You are also welcome to drop-by the space completely unannounced!)

CodeFest è il Festival della cultura del codice sorgente, della sua storia, del suo futuro. Organizzato da Codexpo.org e da UniTo Oltre 30 eventi sul codice sorgente, online, completamente gratuiti.
Il Festival è aperto a tutti: al mondo della formazione e della ricerca (studenti, docenti, studiosi), a quello della programmazione (sviluppatori e imprenditori) e dell’arte (hackers, musicisti, dj, artisti visuali).
Ma soprattutto è rivolto al pubblico generale, ad appassionati e curiosi, a tutti quelli che hanno sentito parlare di codice sorgente ma non sanno bene cosa sia. Registrazione e partecipazione tramite la piattaforma codefest2021.lynxlab.com
Please note: BEFORE the event (i) you may need to purchase a Single Board Computer (SBC) and (ii) there are some instructions to complete to make sure you can get the most out of the FreedomBox and the Install Event. See below for more information; see also the Install Event Wiki: freedombox.berlin/mediawiki/Ma…
What is FreedomBox?: FreedomBox is a home server for hosting your digital life, designed for non-experts based on 100% free software. Who needs DropBox to sync across devices when you can use SyncThing on the FreedomBox ... with unlimited storage space? Why let WhatsApp/FaceBook analyze your social graph when you can run a decentralized, federated Matrix instance to chat with friends and family in private? Don't let Google Calendar know what's on your schedule, use Radicale to sync your local calendar! And much more: freedombox.org.
Install Event: The goal of the install event is to install FreedomBox. The real work will be at home when making your FreedomBox accessible from your home network, which is the hardest part of the process -- but don't worry, we will help you through it, and it is not that hard once you know what you need to do. A follow-up workshop will take place a couple months later in the late fall or early winter, in which we will explore the many uses of FreedomBox together. Of course, once the FreedomBox is accessible from your home network there is a lot you can already do on your own.
This event is for beginners, noobs, newbies, novices, home-server curious, etc. No particular computer knowledge is necessary: we will do our best to walk everyone through the installation process so they can run a home server and keep their data under their control, at home on their own hardware, using their own internet connection.
Where: Rooms 5003/5005 (Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft, HTW Berlin, Peter-Behrens-Hallen)
What you need before and during the event: This is described in more detail at the FreedomBox Install Event Wiki: freedombox.berlin/mediawiki/Ma…. In particular, please read through the 'BEFORE' instructions thoroughly. It is recommended to read these instructions well in advance of the event so you have time to ask questions or make changes.
Contact us in the comments below or per email if there are questions or problems. How much you get out of the event depends to a large extent on completing these steps.

Bitte beachte: VOR dem Event (i) musst du eventuell einen Single Board Computer (SBC) kaufen und (ii) gibt es einige Anweisungen, die du ausfüllen musst, um sicherzustellen, dass du das Beste aus der FreedomBox und dem Install Event herausholen kannst. Siehe Informationen unten; siehe auch das Install Event Wiki: freedombox.berlin/mediawiki/Ma…
Was ist FreedomBox?: FreedomBox ist ein Heimserver für das Hosting deines digitalen Lebens, entwickelt für Nicht-Expert*innen, basierend auf 100% freier Software. Wer braucht schon DropBox für die Synchronisierung, wenn man SyncThing auf der FreedomBox nutzen kann ... mit unbegrenztem Speicherplatz? Warum WhatsApp/FaceBook deinen Social Graph analysieren lassen, wenn du eine dezentralisierte, föderierte Matrix-Instanz betreiben kannst, um mit Freund*innen und Familie privat zu chatten? Lass Google Calendar nicht wissen, was in deinem Terminkalender steht, nutz Radicale, um deinen lokalen Kalender zu synchronisieren! Und vieles mehr: freedombox.org.
Installations-Event: Das Ziel des Installations-Events ist die Installation der FreedomBox. Die eigentliche Arbeit wird zu Hause stattfinden, wenn du deine FreedomBox von deinem Heimnetzwerk aus zugänglich machst, was der schwierigste Teil des Prozesses ist -- aber keine Sorge, wir werden dir dabei helfen, und es ist gar nicht so schwer, wenn du erst einmal weißt, was du tun musst. Der Folge-Workshop findet einige Monate später im Spätherbst oder Frühwinter statt, bei dem wir gemeinsam die vielfältigen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der FreedomBox erkunden werden. Sobald die FreedomBox über dein Heimnetzwerk zugänglich ist, kannst du natürlich schon eine Menge selbst tun.
Diese Veranstaltung ist für Anfänger, Noobs, Newbies, Heimserver-Neugierige, etc. Es sind keine besonderen Computerkenntnisse erforderlich: Wir werden unser Bestes tun, um alle durch den Installationsprozess zu führen, damit du einen Heimserver betreiben und deine Daten unter deiner Kontrolle halten kannst, zu Hause auf deiner eigenen Hardware und mit deiner eigenen Internetverbindung.
Wo: Räume 5003/5005 (Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft, HTW Berlin, Peter-Behrens-Hallen)
Was du vor und während des Events brauchst: Dies wird im FreedomBox Install Event Wiki genauer beschrieben: freedombox.berlin/mediawiki/Ma… Bitte lies dir insbesondere die 'VOR'-Anweisungen gründlich durch. Es wird empfohlen, diese Anweisungen rechtzeitig vor der Veranstaltung zu lesen, damit du Zeit hast, Fragen zu stellen oder Änderungen vorzunehmen.
Kontaktiere uns in den Kommentaren unten oder per E-Mail, wenn es Fragen oder Probleme gibt. Wie viel du von dem Event hast, hängt zu einem großen Teil von der Durchführung dieser Schritte ab.
Vor dem Event
Wenn du noch keinen hast, kaufe einen Single Board Computer (z.B. FreedomBox Pioneer Edition: freedombox.org/buy/)
Überprüfe bei deinem Internet Service Provider (ISP), ob du eine öffentliche IPv4 Adresse hast
Überprüfe deinen Heimrouter auf die Möglichkeit der Portweiterleitung
Während des Events
Bringe (i) deinen Laptop und (ii) den Single Board Computer plus Kabel mit (z.B., FreedomBox Pioneer Edition)
Wenn du Mac OS/Windows auf deinem Laptop verwendest, solltest du balenaEtcher (Apache License 2.0) installieren: github.com/balena-io/etcher%7C
