One can dream about that indeed!

Of course it's not a 10 years from now thing, but it's probably going to happen someday, and a dude like Musk or Trump with an artificially extended lifespan could be absolutely devastating.

For that, you need to make ID mandatory and easily accessible first. Otherwise it's just voter suppression.

The power vacuum would be insane, realistically speaking, Meta, Xitter, Amazon and Microsoft would race to fill it. It could be a good thing to split Google but it could also go sideways very quickly.

Are the 3rd and TPS that bad? I'm a massive fan of the first 2

Well, it's becoming a genuine concern because of the advances of medicine and the growing understanding of the aging process. Imagine a guy like Musk living for a 100 or 200 years, imagine the accumulation of wealth.

Call me chauvinistic but France is absolutely special in many ways. The diversity of landscapes for a country this size is absolutely mad, not even considering the Outre Mer. The history is insanely rich, the culture is definitely worthwhile, and I'm not even talking about the food and its sheer diversity.

The problem is us, Frenchies, we've definitely lost our spark and are getting propaganded to hell. It's a very sad state of affairs.

Less chauvinistically, I really like Norway and the Nordics in general.

If you buy three of them you can set up a Ceph cluster I suppose ahah. That would solve part of your issue of having storage and compute on the same node.

If you don't need enterprise level hardware and support, I can suggest MinisForum. They released the MS01 fairly recently and I believe it fits your specs.

For a lot of them, they're probably already there

A thought experiment is a valid philosophical process though, it's supposed to be theoretical and for the sake of the argument.
And here, it's clearly not a thought experiment, because they'll definitely go though if they can, he's just being a racist shitbag using big words to appear smart to his electorate.

In French we call that the PDC, aka Passage Des Couilles. Coincidentally, it also works for women, Passage Du Clito.

Sex work is going to happen whether it's legal or not. Might as well regulate it and provide sex workers with a legal framework, healthcare, retirement funds, etc.

Brain worm vs syphilis brain ! Speaks volume about Republicans

It's a tough read (as in long and highly detailed), but I feel it's worth it to help understand how the media treats and reports information.

I live in France, and roughly 90% of the media is between the hands of a dozen people at most. You can really feel the impact in the general population.

Not American, but my views of America being "the good guy" completely crumbled when I read Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent.
It made me put into perspective the amount of propaganda we're being fed by mass media, just by reporting with carefully chosen words. It's obviously not limited to America, because the same patterns are being used all around the world to justify imperialism, nationalism and ruthless capitalism.
It also helped me realise how fucked up some of the things my government did (and is still doing to be fair) and we just gobble it up, because it's insanely hard to get out of the bubbles we've created for ourselves.

That's the problem, if anyone somehow gets your root CA key, your encryption is pretty much gone and they can sign whatever they want with your CA.
It's a lot of work to make sure it's safe in a home setup.

I'm talking about home hosting and private keys. Not businesses with people whose full time job is to make sure everything runs fine.
I'm a nobody and I regularly have people/bots testing my router. I'm not monitoring my whole setup yet and if someone gets in I would probably not notice until it's too late.
So hosting my own CA is a hassle and a security risk I'm not willing to put work into.

The domain certificate is public and its key is private? That's basically it, if anyone gets access to your key, they can sign with your name and generate certificates without your knowledge. That's my opinion and the main reason why I wouldn't have a self hosted CA, maybe I'm wrong or misled, but it's a lot of work to ensure everything is safe, only for a self hosted setup.
