For a long time, back in my conservative Christian days throughout the 2000s, the hated enemy and the absolute worst was the “mainstream media”—or lamestream media as it was often derisively called.

Conservatives considered their media the alternative, a scrappy underground dropping truth bombs and speaking for the “silent majority” of true red-blooded patriotic Americans.

Oh what a difference a couple of decades makes! Now it seems conservative, or conservative-lite media, has become the mainstream media—and even the lamest of the lamestream aka MSNBC is starting to capitulate to the interests of timid corporations not wanting to rock the boat quite so much in this era of Trumpian #politics.

But perhaps a larger trend is at play here which is that for all intents and purposes, independent online media—newsletters, podcasts, YouTube channels, and the like—has won the day. Traditional broadcasters are on their way out. Indie is in. Young people couldn’t care less about cable news networks. It’s just not where they are.

I sure hope the people who have a modicum of power in progressive circles realize how desperately behind they are on this compared to MAGA. Because the future of our country is quite literally at stake!

Last week I published my first Cybersecurity Friday post with three key steps for indieweb cybersecurity. In summary:

1. Email MFA/2FA. Add multi-factor authentication (sometimes called two-factor authentication) to everywhere you store or check email. Do not use phone/cell numbers.
2. Domain Registrar MFA. Add multi-factor authentication to your domain registrar account.
3. Web Host MFA. Same for your web host and any intermediate name servers (DNS) or content delivery network (CDN) service accounts.

Next time: entropy is your friend in security.

🗓️ The Level Up

The entry chandelier is in! I met with the electrician today to go over all the details of the finish electrical work, and they already put up the chandelier!
The extremely custom range hood is getting closer! The hood insert will slide in from the bottom, and the top part will have storage in front of the duct!
Had some fun testing out the AVKANS Go they sent me during the livestream today! At around the same price as a GoPro, it's a clear winner vs the GoPro for livestreaming!
