Step 1(b) was securing my digital #Privacy, which meant controlling my home network, which meant... 
I'll be 32 in 4 weeks, and for the first time in my life, I'm living alone in my own apartment. More on this later.
Step 2 is #SelfHosting my own data and services. I'm working on that now, on a #RaspberryPi 5 running #yunohost (much appreciation to @_elena for sharing her journey). I've got some DNS/proxy issues to work out before inviting you into my digital home, but stay tuned.
Step 3 will be expanding my pocket universe to my #Community. I've got some #LoRa communication nodes and will be setting up some repeaters, hopefully sometime soon. Hopefully, I'll also be able to host a #Bonfire instance to serve the area.
( @bonfire Social 1.0 arrived literally as I was putting my Pi 5 together. Thanks for your hard work!)
Working towards these goals, while struggling with #ExecutiveDysfunction has been...a lot. And in September, I:
- Moved out on my own
- Got a new job
- Got a new car
I've essentially rebooted my life, with the purpose of creating a rally point to survive, and eventually fight, #fascism. And because the general public is unwilling to process or deal with our collapsing society, I'm going it alone.
The honest truth is that I'm not the right person for this job. I'm not technically skilled enough to ensure digital security. I'm not smart enough to ensure operational security. I'm not functional enough to get any of this done in a reasonable timeframe.
But until The Guy™ shows up, I've gotta do what I can. Bear with me.
