"UPDATE: So sorry for the delay in coming back online with zchg.org (and others, kindly see the below). We have spent the better part of this morning on the phone with Black Hills Energy and last night I was very “The Art of Not Giving a F#$%.” I was also waiting in earnest for more Greenwave power filters to arrive before bolstering my host with a homelab for redundancy. Oh and I took my kid to get pebbles for the aquarium, 30 gallon 
. $10 at Goodwilllllll. Price gouges usual. What’s with the evil eye on their logo? Did you know comet goldfish can grow larger if their tank is the same? I think people are even still and also the same, it’s why I mention. You ever seen that oddball movie ‘Big Fish?’
Another story is brewing and has been since at least three years ago for us back when we lived in Cheyenne. This has to do with the horrific price gouging this company is in the practice of engaging, that is my honest and shared opinion with the people of Cheyenne and creeping also into sleepy Nebraska. We have until tomorrow to choose between a rock and a hard place for the year - three different and equally misleading futures contracts or the like to choose from for fear of the next year being any worse or the same as the ones prior, perhaps the reader has or has not experienced this themselves?
Speaking, we had a Black Hills truck about half a year ago follow us into the KFC parking lot, shine their unnaturally bright lights into our car, and generally intimidate. I think there’s a connection here to what happened to us with Core Power as rebranded, that is my honest opinion. Is it all one big anti-trust hot mess?
What is a public utility? Are these so-called public and even private companies not beholden to strict anti-scalping Law? What is “just following orders,” “criminality by proxy,” as may well relate? Does the right hand ever seem to know what the left hand is doing with these corporations? Just how do these people sleep at night when it’s good enough to put food on the table at the expense of innocent families who do not have a means to absorb all the gouging? And just where is our oversight and gov. regulation? Food for thought?
This is a good time to mention all of my links in the likely event that the censorship continues:zchg.org, chgcoin.org, chgcoin.com, wecharg.com, josefkmedia.com, josefkmedia.org, lovelettermedia.org, Redirecting..., youtube.com/@josefk, Josef K Love, trisandcats.com, trimaransandcatamarans.com, stealthmachines.com.There’s a few more I don’t mention for safe keeping. Are you learning from me how to lawfully fight this and improve upon my strategies?
With my shoestring budget I don’t really have the funds for more than a few dollars a month for hosting, while the dream would be to host everything myself, budget permitting. I’ve got hoop dreams, coach!
I did get the first customer StealthMachines has had in about a year, he is very loyal and I appreciate him waiting weeks for funds to clear. Amazon is part and parcel to the financial censorship, as is Paypal, as I have written prior. As are the rainbow of banks; and when you don’t qualify for even small loans going on decade(s) it’s no small coincidence beside the enormity of finally fighting back with the letters addressing those predators on top of all the other SH!T that I didn’t immediately take my power back on the first, or even the eleventy-second punch. But you know what? You get your A$$ back up when you fall down.
Google doesn’t really let me have results worth writing home about these days either, while paid advertising is just asking to have my A$$ handed back to me at this time. Keep the powder dry, as it were. All of the financial censorship is what inspired zchg.org, did you know?
Anyways, best practice would be to hire a different host for each of these with cross-load balancing to put the cherry on top, but it’s just not in the cards until funds open up. Instead I’ve got everything containerized for easier migration, you know in case I stumble upon yet another corrupt host. Anyways, kindly bookmark those links, thanks in advance!
During the American Revolution, some of our greatest heroes were in financial plight just about the entire time. Real tycoons humbled before the redcoats. Now I ain’t complainin’, rather I’m communicatin’, I mean it’d be nice to have business as usual but I’m pretty well adjusted at this time to the planned austerity working its way back out of the veins of the collective.
I’ll be honest in saying some of the austerity is voluntary, akin to atelausterity, crisis-conditioned ambition in the plural, ascendaphobia, precarious triumph syndrome, Jonah Complex or something ultimately self-imposed like that. I’ve always had a bit of fear of success, being a head case in the pool also. It took me years, but by the time we left the pool in Denver for the mountains I was dunking them in and I mean really having complete control over my opponents, that’s not me being boastful, but honest..
When you are reduced to nothing that can mean even taking two steps forward is challenge enough for the day. At the end of the day, if you force yourself to have a good attitude, “what doesn’t kill you…” while if you just. Keep. Moving. Eventually no weapon formed against you will prosper, and I will add you can grow stronger than you ever were. Rationalize not, evildoers!
I remember the first time I had a sign for StealthMachines I stewed for weeks and weeks before I finally put the sign up and then nobody came for about two weeks, lol! Nowadays people still show up to the old warehouse time to time, I am told. Momentum is funny that way while nature truly abhors the void!
And I remember my dear neighbor in Cheyenne, who taught me you only need to keep moving on the hard and slow days. Military family, they were and are…
By and by, we will get by. One step atta’ time the ice will melt in the springtime, of this I am sure.
I’m looking forward to my kids being able to make money with whatever they put their hands to. I intend to teach them how to better themselves better than I ever could. Hard times make strong men, while strong men have a duty to raise strong boys (and girls!). If you’ve stayed this long, I thank you for listening.
When it’s all said and done, I’ll know that “I did it my way.” Writing has been my greatest therapy in all that has happened to us over the years. That was what necessitated the creation of my media companies, at first. Last but not least, my relationship with God, my beloved God. Weakness becomes strength. Give yourself permission to express your highest self. I feel better now… God bless.
Original post: Different host took me down again, guess I am over the mark, stand by. Redirecting... "
" For the fourth and probably final time, Hostinger has frozen my account with a two year contract against my will, no refund. Zchg.org is down. My only crime was refusing to install their malware spyware upsell scheme. Wish I could say this was an isolated thing, but corporate tyranny is a common proxy death of a thousand cuts. What centralized host or isp can be trusted not to censor you? Are you sure?
Ironically, my prior host (after Vultr) was a Russian outfit. Into the lion’s den, I thought at the time, before switching to this Ukraine sympathizing Hostinger. Na’r a problem although I left the Ruski host because they wanted to charge me for password reset. I ain’t no commie either, I’m an economist businessman disenfranchised the more by an eye-opening visit to Cuba, you feel me? Say, what’s the difference between socialism and communism? How fast the train gets there!! wocka wocka
Time to boot up my LoRa’s…. Isn’t it fun being forced to learn new things? If tyranny never happened to me, I’d probably still just be selling computers for a purposeless existence, or chopping wood and carrying water in the mountains as a stone Buddha of sorts. Thanks big brother!
