  • With UBI, its assumed to be part of a surplus economy is my understanding? Use some of the remaining surplus to pay workers who want a marginally improved quality of life (no billionaires to limit wealth hoarding).

    Offer child care to those who wish to have a career, maintain a community garden, teach part time, etc.

    Optionally or additionally, provide enough funding to allow for passion projects.

    Fund open projects for those who want to work together to push the limits of humanity.

    If I didn’t have to slog and worry about keeping a roof over my family’s head and food on the table, I’d be dedicating all my spare time to space exploration instead of making APIs for some company.

    Overly simple and likely impossible to implement, but there are ways to enable finding a purpose outside of art and culture.










  • Thanks! Also trying out these just to evaluate this past week, lol.

    • EteSync - Contact sync since Proton won’t integrate natively with android (grr). Probably self host this one when I get time to rebuild my server also.
    • Jmp.chat - More of a curiosity, but thought it was cool I could get a number with voice/text over XMPP (native dialer integration, tex t in XMPP client) plus a data eSIM all with Monero and without giving any info. Not private due to the calls/text come in the clear. Could be anonymous if you get a phone not tied to your name. Obviously you can be narrowed down to a tower you’re connecting to also. Using a free xmpp server now but want to self host this one also.
    • Frugal Usenet / NZBgeek - Bought with crypto over VPN and no personal info. Working on rebuilding my mini-pc server as an *arr stack, then look into self hosting everything else.


  • Not the OP but currently have:

    • Kagi - Search…
    • Proton - Email, Calendar, VPN, Pass (I just use for aliases). Now that I’ve upped my privacy knowledge I need to reevaluate. I do like their products though from a useability perspective. VPN supporting port forwarding is a bonus.
    • Backblaze B2 - off site backups using rclone and Round Sync (android rclone) to sync files
    • Mullvad VPN - Just got based on the XMR payment option and RAM only servers. Still deciding where I have a VPN included with Proton. I don’t like putting my eggs all in one basket though as I did with Google so its attractive to keep.
    • Bitwarden - Password manager. May switch to self hosted in the future.
    • Standard Notes - May switch to self hosted if I don’t lose any features I use.
