Another deliberate, calculated distraction from the Epstein Files.

Child rapist pardons child rapist. Nothing to see here.

I’m no security expert and my biggest concern with self-hosting is making a configuration error in the OS or some app, or missing a critical update that allows someone access to my personal data. In order to reduce the attack surface and management requirements my network can only be accessed through Wireguard. The random open WG ports do not respond to unauthenticated packets, so someone would have to have access to my configurations to be able to get past my firewall, at least in the absence of some yet unknown vulnerability. Of course that won’t prevent mistakes being made on PCs (especially Windows) but it’s one less thing to worry about.

Wireguard clients on our PCs and phones make connecting and accessing media and files a breeze. There are no third parties involved so enshittification by some company’s security breach or sudden monthly fee isn’t going to happen.

I have a Bosgame mini-PC that is completely inaudible unless you get close to it. Power draw is <15 watts under light load meaning that even with the high electricity rates where I live it costs less than $3.50 a month to operate. I’ve avoided hard drives because I don’t want to listen to them whine, so no comment there. Two simultaneous 1080p Jellyfin streams increase CPU utilization by less than a percent and it still is under 5% with a couple of other Docker containers running.

Good luck setting everything up to your liking.

The Amazon CEO is terrified of angering the Toddler-in-Chief. Tariffs have already drastically raised prices for Americans. Here’s an Amazon example - this tool is 55% more expensive in the US than in Canada. Tariffs are 47.5% so apparently there’s an an additional fee tacked on, perhaps a tariff handling fee?

Surprise! Trump’s tariffs and more are being paid only by Americans. And we have to pay sales taxes on the Trump tariffs taxes.

68% of Cubans supported Trump in the last election.

Those being deported have friends and family who can vote and still support Trump.

Each time I’ve lost someone the intensity of the dreams and grief began to taper off at around the 6 month mark. Things got better after that.

So sorry you lost your mom.

One last time. The evidence that proves guilt was deleted and that is exactly what I’ve been saying from the start.

Your blind faith in the Secret Service is based on pure fantasy, not fact, and the rest of the world is not required to respect your own private religion or you.

Unfucking believable. The entire point is that the SS made damn sure all evidence was deleted and you’re asking me if I have any evidence? What is wrong with you?

This is obviously a hill you will die on. You’re welcome to do so without any help from me.

Trump corrupts everything he touches.

So to recap - according to you the SS agents actually involved in the insurrection are blameless and get a pass simply because someone else helped covered it up. Got it.

Fact: The SS deleted all text messages related to January 6th. They would have no reason to do so unless they had something huge to hide, like knowingly supporting an insurrection.

Fiction: Your fabulist claims that you’re knowledgeable about what the organization is today despite the fact your experience with them is decades old. Your experience is so far out of date that your claims are laughable.

BTW - “bloviating hens” is cute, but you should really look up the word “bloviating” before using it in your name-calling routine.

It’s different than other agencies.

Absolute BS - They were directly involved in Trump’s January 6th insurrection and deleted incriminating data to cover it up. They’ve been corrupted just like everything else Trump touches. https://www.yahoo.com/news/jan-6-pentagon-secret-service-texts-deleted-cover-up-accusations-170030306.html

I’d like to see the official GOP sponsors of deportations without Due Process deported without Due Process.

I know there’s a ton of hate for everything government at this time, but I worked with them decades ago when I did union stagehand work setting up for Presidential debates.

The Secret Service of today is not the one you worked with decades ago. Trump corrupts everything he touches.

Oh dear, leopards ate my face again! Trump 2028!

With few exceptions, ICE and the GOP are targeting protesters and brown people. As a rule they aren’t GOP voters.

Germany 1933 (Wikipedia): The election saw Nazi stormtroopers unleash a widespread campaign of violence against the Communist Party (KPD), left-wingers, trade unionists, the Social Democratic Party, and the Centre Party. They were the last multi-party elections in a united Germany until the all-German vote in 1990, though by 1933, the democratic process had ceased to be free or fair.

The GOP using ICE has already unleashed a widespread campaign of violence and IMO they’re well on the way to making sure the democratic process no longer exists in 2026.

Let’s give credit where credit is due - This is what the GOP wants. They have complete ownership of ICE’s terrorist activities and applaud what is being done.

Republicans could reign this in in a couple of days if ICE didn’t have their blessing. The same is true if our corporate/billionaire media began referring to what’s happening as GOP, rather than ICE activity.

The Nazis used IBM, the GOP use Palantir.
