I've been checking this site on and off from Europe for about a month. Can someone who knows more than me explain the expected timeline for what remains?

I feel like it jumped up into the mid 30%s after only a month or so and then stagnated for weeks.

Now it seems to have jumped again. But I guess I’m wondering at what sort of percentage does everything go to shit (not that it isn't already!). Are there points where there is a no turning back or civil war becomes inevitable, etc.? Or does it hit a certain percentage where it will jump to 100% overnight due to certain protections being removed.

I guess I’m struggling to wrap my head around what I’m seeing, what it looks like between 40% and 100% and how quickly this might happen?

Even a guide somewhere on the net that breaks it down would be great.

There is an Organic Maps ios app which I use to mostly good effect. Occasionally have to fall back to Google maps and then I make a note to update OSM with the details missing where possible later.

Thanks so much for sharing this Bookwyrm is on my radar to try (currently use storygraph). I've been looking for ways to contribute to the open source community as a non-coder so def going to check out bookbrainz. Freedom of information is one of my biggest passions and this goes hand in hand with those goals as they form the backbone of meaningful archival efforts.

Thanks so much for the reply, I'll give it a download to play with it - I certainly am a big fan of simple!

This looks great. Thanks so much for your work on this and sharing with us.

What in your opinion sets your software apart from the other options you mention?

I have recently setup dockers for plex, immich, nextcloud and paperlessngx but have yet to look at longterm maintenence inc. things like auto updates (I know to avoid on immich).

As someone who prob knows the options inside and out - would you recommend your option to this relative newbie or do you think one of the other options might be a better place to start?

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense to me, part of me balks at meeting in the middle with such extremes already in play especially given that even these numbers will still be seen as nigh poverty enforced by evil socialist to the ultra wealthy.

Yeah I can see that, very interesting example. I have to think about that more as I'm already thinking of loads of similar examples. I guess at the end of the day a 90-99% tax above $x would still be "fair" but it def is a different perspective on ultra wealth that might not necessarily be "stolen."

So zero critique but to me these numbers still seem insurmountably huge. I wonder what makes $10/100 million your cut off points?

I ask because it's hard for me to imagine how one individual can amass $100 million in wealth without theft from those actually producing value. But I’m also aware that somewhere along the way actual lines have to be drawn and don't necessarily have my own metric for where that should be.

I had a quick search but couldn't identify anything obvious... Could you clarify what cloudflare did recently/why one might want to avoid them?
