Every time you see a Flock license plate reader, add it to the map.
They look like this:
It only costs a bit of your time 😊
As far as what I understand you are saying…
these are free solar panels and cameras?
I read through the website, but I don’t understand how this is helpful. Is it so that people can avoid driving past them, changing their route each time one is added?
Presumably so the people can dismantle the surveillance capabilities of a government turned fascist.
Through vandalism?
You speak like that’s a bad thing.
I literally did not.
Oh goody then
If Organic Maps supported it as an overlay that would be game changing.

Pi-hole and Vance(YouTube ad blocker.) I can’t watch YouTube with ads now.
The services of your local library. Sign up and use them, and get your friends & family on too because the more regular users and the more people aware of their services, the harder they are for politicians to take away or slash the budget of.
Common services offered:
- Kanopy, hoopla (free TV shows and movies, similar to Netflix)
- Local/national newspapers digital versions
- PressReader for various (usually subscription-only) magazines
- ebooks and audiobooks via OverDrive/Libby, BorrowBox, hoopla, etc.
- Educational resources like language learning apps
Harvard just released a free civics course. I’ve been looking into starting that.
I should take advantage of this tread
not that useful but cute: https://http.cat/ and https://http.dog/ give cute pictures to http error codes like 404: file not found or (the better one) 418: im a teapod
When i dont know what an errer code means i often put http.gat/{errorcode} and then i am pleased because of insight and cat- https://haveibeenpwned.com/ is very useful, it takes a few seconds for you to check if some accounts got found in public breaches
Not really „free“ but „mostly free“: Each week you can get a different game from the Epic game store
Linux, torrents, youtube (if you use a account-less frontend), Wikipedia.
Rss feeds.
Your question’s answer is encapsulated to a high degree here:
Not everyone likes the way these images are built, but the liinuxserver.io containers are so easy to use. You can replace so many cloud services using these, I’ve replaced:
- All streaming platforms
- Google drive
- Google photos
- Every note app
- The library (sorta, I just host an ebook server for manga that won’t fit on my reader)
- Grocery lists
- Exercise tracking apps
Plus I’ve setup some awesome new stuff like a website for one of my collectives and a few things to automate server maintenance.
You need somewhere to host your services (I’m using an old PC) and a little linux experience, but it’s absolutely worth giving it a crack. I might work in the industry but I learnt more making my little server than I ever did on the job.
