The world is such a depressing inhumane shit show at the moment. And I'm tired of being gaslit by every government from my local borough administration all the way to the federal government.

Capitalism and fascism had taken a hold on the world's nations the likes of which we have never seen in the history of humankind.

And the worst part is I feel people have been indoctrinated to as point where we're never gong to collectively get out of it. I don't even think a violent revolution is possible because people are too fucking dumb to notice what's wrong.

And the "fuck you, I got mine" attitude that capitalism has brought has ruined any chance of salvation. Empathy and solidarity are ridiculed as being some woke mind virus.

The world's climate is beyond fucked. There's wars and crimes against humanity being perpetrated by the Epstein class in our name. We keep electing wolves in sheep's clothing who win our votes on fake promises to help us then turn against us and double down on policies that make life more difficult and increase our level of misery. Unless you're a billionaire CEO or a politician, your life is absolutely worthless. You're nothing more than a low value resource. And you don't have freedom. Neither of speech or otherwise. Not as long as what you say or do goes against what the elites want.

We're fucked. I don't foresee any future worth living in.

Depends on what you are looking for, there are raspberry (or other flavour) pi communities/forms. The services I use daily are two pihole installs (across two pi’s one acts as a secondary DNS), Nextcloud (I have a 1TB NVMe drive on a hat with it not all of it is for Nextcloud but I think 1TB may have been overkill, the medium link is just an example), Vaultwarden (With Vaultwarden you get all the pay extra things for free with Bitwarden, pimylifeup.com maybe a bit dated but it is still a good resource for ideas), Immich (I used it to replace Apple photos), Wireguard (to access my services away from home), CUPS (because I really do not need my printer calling Samsung HQ), Scanserjs (Again Samsung HQ), paperless-ngx (I have just started it in the past month or so but it OCR’s PDFs and I can forward email to it so that it gets saved as a pdf), SearXNG (you will have to look for the pi instructions as I could not easily find them, which is funny as it is my self hosted search engine), on my second pi 5 I have Jellyfin (I would suggest Jellyfin be on a second pi as it can be demanding, I like Jellyfin because it is FOSS were Plex and Enby are not), on my Jellyfin pi I also run the *arr srack, Caddy Because I own a couple of domains and some of the services I have listed want https). Those are most if not all the services I have running on 2 of my pi 5’s.

On a pi 4 I have HAOS (it replaced homebridge, which helped bring things into the apple eco system and Home Assistant is helping me get out). That being said there are a few things that I am having troubles with breaking them out of the Apple ecosystem and into the HA platform so I may install Homebridge again on one of the first 2 pi 5’s I mentioned so that those Homekit devices can be brought into HA.

I have another Pi 5 that I plan on setting up as my blog host, using software I do not know about yet as I have not done all that much looking around yet maybe I could do that tonight and/or tomorrow night? I am wanting to post more on Mastodon and as I understand it Ghost which I may use to self host my blog will allow me to cross post. I am hoping to try and get it to also be my email server, my current setup is rather expensive because I have unlimited email address as I use a different email address for everything (service name+random word+three random digits) so that I do not get spam, if I do I look at the address and decide if I need the service and close the address.

I have a fourth pi 5 in the mail and it should be at my place on Thursday I am going to use it as my OpenWRT firewall, so that I can use my static IP addresses to self host my domains. I plan on using LuCI with it like I use webpages for my other services. Today I just could not hold my excitement in for knowing I am getting Fibre next week and my firewall is coming on Thursday that I flashed a SD card with the OpenWRT OS on a new file system I was unfamiliar with, I have experience with ext3 and ext4 (FAT32, FAT64, HFS, HFS+, ZFS, AFS, and I am sure other ones before I knew anything about file systems) so I was just going to stick with the ext4 image, but thought I have time I can learn about SquashFS so glad that I did as I decided that is what I was going to use as it fits so much better for a firewall.
