I'll be 51 years old, on February 3rd, 2026. I don't feel my age 😆
Photo is of me, paralyzed at #RefugeesCamp & me as an adult, decades later.

"A newbie's guide to self-hosting with #YunoHost. Part 2: installation & setup"
with a special shout-out to @shollyethan and @ilja who, a year ago, encouraged me to try self-hosting. And of course immense gratitude to the @yunohost team for making all this possible ❤️
I hope this guide may inspire others to try it, too. The path to digital independence and empowerment is easier than you thought...

The bicycle - as it has been since its popularity grew, a tool for empowerment and freedom
As well as World Bicycle relief, many charities in Europe also support, by collecting, repairing and donating machines that their owners no longer us, including the excellent Just cycle in the Scottish Borders who provide affordable bikes to local people as well as sending them overseas where they are needed.
Bring Back Innovation That Empowers, Rather Than Extracts: The Resonant Computing Manifesto
Everyone’s pissed at the tech industry. And for good reason. The term enshittification is super popular for many valid reasons. Companies that used to provide real value, are now focused on extracting more value from users, rather than improving their products and services. People used to be excited by new innovations. There was a time […]

I'm on @delta delta chat now! I want to host a group for abuse survivors and those who question whether they were or are experiencing or witnessing abuse or coercive control or undue influence or someone is using power over them and retaliating against them when they don't "behave".
I myself survived childhood sexual abuse, incest, abuse by a cult, my therapist, psychiatry nurses, sibling, friends, queerplatonic partner/girlfriend, roommate and harrassment from a nazi neighbor plus landlords. I kinda got a bad start to life (in germany) and then people tended to make it worse instead of helping me or they took advantage of me.
So I learned a lot about what does and doesn't help!
And I want to help you out, whether you went through something you fear no one will believe or be able to stomach hearing about, or you think it was probably nothing and you overreact. You don't overreact! Nothing is too small to be worth talking about.
I'm making a space to have a warm, supportive, good vibes atmosphere that we co-create together. We'll help each other grow and see through confusions and distortions of the truth and gain more agency, to make choices, decisions and do stuff and have an impact on the world.
We'll also have fun and laugh and cry and eat cookies and discover what it's like to argue with someone who doesn't slice you to ribbons emotionally.
Anyone is welcome regardless of age, gender, ability, neurotype, location or background. I just ask that you help make the group a good space, be that by complaining when everyone else is too polite to say anything or by listening or by sharing. Please don't worry that by joining you'll take up too much space or take resources away from someone who might need them more — you ARE our space and our resources!
The first step is, once we have at least a handful of people, to decide when and how often to meet.
I use @delta delta chat for its privacy and because it works with spotty internet and very little tech knowledge. It works on desktop and mobile. You can download the app from google's or apple's appstore or FDroid or their website delta.chat (watch me not get the preview to work)
It was super easy to make an account and didn't require anything other than a username - no phone number or email address (or password).
DM me for an invite, which is a link that you click to join the group. The group is invite only to keep out bots and abusers.
Please boost and share this post, including on other sites or however it works for you, or by talking about it and linking here.
