Good to know, thanks.

Will look into square space, thanks.

Agreed. But stability and reliability would be a priority for this so like emuspawn said “cost of doing business” :c

Will look into it. Thanks!

That seems to be the consensus. Thanks!

So don’t take this as rude I know this is literally not what you asked, but…

No no no, this is the exact reason I asked. I honestly thought selfhosting would be better and easier once its all set up. Thank you very much.

As far as I know the website is not an indispensable part of the business but its not a static page either. Its gonna be like a landing page to (hype up the business), some catalogue pages to show their products, and a page with contact info (maybe also an “about us” page. Its mainly to look more professional and to have a bit of an internet presence. What would you recommend for that? Either selfhosted or commercial solution.

Thanks again.

Thanks!

Thanks.

I dont think website uptime is a vital issue since it is basically just advertising, catalogue, and then links to their emails and phone numbers but it wont handle any type of sales or orders and I think its the only part that they can realistically self-host. Im aware of the static IP and bandwith issues, still, we have to look into the costs of that.

For the rest, Im looking into comercial options right now. Whats your opinion on proton for e-mail? (If you have any)

Thanks, I’ve looked into proton, seems like a good option for mail. Digitalocean I dont really understand it but it seems more oriented towards software developement. No?

I had thought about redundancy and backups but I wasnt aware of how much it would require. Thanks!

Thanks. Will look into those, they seem like a promising alternative.

Thanks

Well, yes, if you’re looking for a place where political violence has never happened, that will be much more difficult to find. We certainly do not live in a utopia and possibly never will.

??? I was just arguing (and expanding on said argument) against your description of politics as “an unarmed, nonviolent activity”

Interesting wiki read about New Zealand, I wasnt aware of it. Thanks.

Imposed through violence

How do you think monarchies and governments were first created? What about colonialism? What would hapen if trump becomes president and the us becomes an openly fascist state? Wouldnt it be imposed on all americans through violence?

Even if there are cases where power was nonviolently transfered to “local control” (which AFAIK its not true) the structures and institutions of government that remain were first established through violence and these countries still serve the interests of their former “conquerors” either through collusion, International laws (which those colonialist powers mostly controll) and/or the threat of sanctions and violence.

In all the history of nation states around the world politics have been imposed through violence, they are enforced through violence and perpetuated through violence.

This is not to say that politics are inherently violent but the idea that they are inherently non-violent is a falacy.

They already are. Thats why they can do whatever the fuck they want.

Edit: Added the spoiler thing. Quite interesting to read others replies.

The thing is that the candidates for judges will be chosen by commitees from “the 3 powers” which are, basically, under controll of MORENA.

Thanks and you’re welcome ^.

Ah, I see what you mean now.

Not exactly at gunpoint and, as always, all the evidence for the claims is circumstantial but here it is:

Senator for Veracruz, Miguel Ángel Yunes Márquez (the one who “flipped”), is currently being investigated for falsifying his residence documents when he attempted to run for mayor of Veracruz in 2021. He then accused the current government of Veracruz (MORENA) of political prosecution and denounced the local courts for being under MORENA’s controll. He claimed it was an attempt to stop him from becoming senator. (sorry, dont know the technical terms in english)

An arrest warrant was issued against him in july since he was out of the country and they declared him as “fleeing”. He appealed, claiming he was outside for medical reasons and the warrant was suspended.

He had stated that he would vote against the reform as it is the position of his party (PAN) then 3 days ago stopped all comunications with his party and yesterday his father went to the senate as his representative to present his vote in favour of the reform, since he is apparently still to sick to attend the senate himself. Later that night, or quite early this morning, he was seen alongside his father when leaving the senate’s session.

But the plot thickens!

His father and former governor of the state of Veracruz (2016-2018), Miguel Ángel Yunes Linares, is also being investigated for corruption as during his administration a millionaire security system for the state was installed in the state of which several cameras dont work and many others were never installed in the first place.

He is also being investigated for a very similar crime, “Illicit enrichment”, when he was director of the “Institute for social security and safety for state workers” (ISSSTE; mostly public healthcare for state workers). Apparently the institute paid for several medicaments, equipment, and services that were never recieved during his administration.

But wait! Theres more.

His brother and former mayor of the city of Veracruz, Fernando Yunes Márquez is also being investigated for electoral crimes during his administration as he allegedly forced city workers, under threat of unemployment and blacklisting, to support his brothers candidacy (when he attempted, and failed, to run for mayor of the same city)

And for the cherry on top, his wife, Patricia Lobeira Rodríguez, is the current mayor of that city (Not that it really matters since there are no accusations against her but I always get uneasy when a whole familly is in the government)

The claim of “wrangling votes” is that they offered him inmunity for himself and his family if he changed his vote; Which MORENA can totally do when the courts fall under their control now that the reform has been aprooved. (It still needs ratifying but everything points that it will be soon)

Also worth noting is that the Yunes familly and MORENA (AMLO included) have been very “critical” of each other for several years so this seems like a very strange and unexpected “change of heart”.

I can post some sources if you want but they are in spanish.
