Did @LockeCJ see that? I ran a Discourse instance for a bit, but didn’t get into the weeds with it. I’m not sure how hard they are to backup and restore. :thinking:

The database, including images, is backed up nightly, encrypted, and sent to offsite storage. If we needed to move to a new host, the worst case is that we might lose 24 hours of data. Our host and the offsite backup are both based in the US. We can consider additionally storing the backups on a non-US host fairly easily, but there is likely a cost to be considered there. The backups, as mentioned above, are encrypted, so it’s more or less impossible for them to be removed due to content.

Restoring a Discourse instance from backup is possible, but not as straightforward as I’d like…

No, they didn’t.
Just the usual repackaging of something that has been around for quite some time.

I imagine, just like Uber and AirBnb and such, these henchmen work as independent contractors and will be responsible for their own legal and healthcare costs when they inevitably get involved in something illegal or get hurt.

Yarvin seeks to reengineer governments by breaking them up into smaller entities called “patchworks,” which would be controlled by tech corporations.

You don’t get to just rename burbclaves and then pretend you’ve come up with the whole idea.

The whole thing reminds me of Scientology. Turning ideas from sci-fi into a cult. One used pulp sci-fi and called the cult a religion and the other uses cyberpunk and calls the cult a philosophy
