I haven’t had it take that long, but I have noticed that loading time varies between mobile and desktop. Not surprisingly, the more powerful device loads the document faster
Edit: You’re right- it takes like 10 seconds on my phone. I decided to time it
I actually haven’t found it that slow, but I’ve also kept my expectations low. I’m willing to allow some slowness in the initial document load time if it means I get some privacy.
Is that this tool?
I haven’t heard of it before- is it kind of similar to cryotomator?
I haven’t heard of that competition, but it looks really cool.
Outside of the competition, does your team self host cryptpad?
I ended up paying for a subscription- I wanted to support the development + it being E2E alleviates most of my concerns about storing info in the cloud.
Also, I’m honest with myself to know that cryptpad.fr probably has a better backup setup than my Proxmox mini PC + Synology combo 😅
you’re welcome!
Also, https://www.lawfaremedia.org/ is very good.

From that subreddit, there’s this substack, https://keeptrack.substack.com/p/project-2025-tracker-is-now-live which maintains this site: https://www.project2025.observer/
Here’s another good site: https://www.democracy2025.org/response-center

I’m not sure if there’s one in particular, but I’ve found the following to be good:
The Bulwark
Amicus
David Pakman
Ezra Klein
On the written word front:
The Atlantic
Heather Cox Richardson
Paul Krugman
Tim Snyder
Talking Feds
Agreed. It might feel futile, but lawsuits and public outcry do matter.
I think this is accurate. If he had no fear, he wouldn’t say anything at all.
Perfectly said.
I don’t remember Mitch McConnell rolling over and just saying “Aw shucks, we’re the minority party, guess we can’t do anything 🤷♂️”
Anything is better than nothing, even if all it does is generate a small morale boost. Draw attention, gum up the works, do whatever small thing is in your power. This bill will go nowhere, but there’s immense value in the trying.
I find Lemmy to be a better reddit alternative than Mastodon is a twitter alternative.
The lack of an infinitely scrollable algorithmic feed in Mastodon is definitely better societally, but let’s be real, the algorithmic feed is just way more fun to scroll in blue sky.
🤣 I love Mastodon as well… I also have a Proxmox server in my basement.
Good thoughts; thanks for the suggestions
You read my mind- I was just thinking about posting that exact site to this thread- thanks for doing so!
The loss of institutional knowledge is one of the scariest things about this.
I do think Congress will flip in 2 years after Trump and company wreck the economy (though we’ll see how much Congress truly matters then). The thing is, even if we get a Dem sweep, all the knowledge lost won’t magically come back. It’s gone forever.
I’m curious about this too
This is also pretty great. It has some modern suggestions:

He also wrote a short book that expands on each of those points: https://timothysnyder.org/on-tyranny/
I highly recommend his substack as well: https://snyder.substack.com/
Ok, here’s a substack that I came across called tracking project 2025
It purports to track the project 2025 implementation. I’ve only read the most recent post, but the reporting seems solid.
Agreed. Now’s the time to appreciate any small wins that we get.
