Running Out of Options
To recap: We're still waiting for our new home to be ready for us to move in. As far as I know, my manuscripts are still safe near the edge of that wildfire.

Now another fire has popped up to the west of us, sending a thick plume of smoke overhead. Ashes are falling out of that plume, sitting on things like

No News is Good News
So far I haven't heard any bad news about our stuff which is stored in the wildfire zone, so I'm going to assume that it hasn't been burned up. I don't think any major structures have been lost in that fire and the efforts at containment appear to be successful. The majority of the smoke coming from the area lately has been from the plan

נראה לי שאני אעשה חיצרוץ מתגלגל של קיטורים על הגירה.

עכשיו גיליתי שאתר #CouchSurfing שהשתמשתי בו לפני כעשור, כדי לארח קווירים על הספה, ושהיה חינמי וקהילתי - כיום עולה כסף ואפליקציית המובייל שלו קיבלה ציון של 2.5 מה שגורם לי לחשוב שזה כנראה ממש לא שווה. 😳
יש משהו דומה מומלץ בימינו?

Getting Serious
As you know, if you've been following this, we're currently "between homes." The home we were living in sold and the one we're moving in to hasn't been installed. So we're floating around, living here and there, while our stuff is in storage. Well, as of last night, the place where o

It’s Getting Worse
I'm in a motel now, trying to balance the imposition of my presence in my niece's house. They say I'm welcome there whenever and for as long as necessary. In fact they said they hoped I would be back soon when I left to come here. I believe them, but who knows how they will fe

Still Moving
The house sold and changed hands with minimal fuss, other than having to live in a show home all that time. We got our stuff moved out but now we're stuck without a place to move into. Our manufactured home was supposed to be installed by now -- or, at least, we were hoping that it would b

"#NewZealand housing stock is extremely expensive, says Grimes, pointing to the 50% increase in house prices between 2016 and 2021. The average cost of a home in New Zealand is about NZ$900,000 ($555,000/£435,000), compared to a little under NZ$600,000 in the #UK."

Selbst erlebt: Der #Gastgeber bietet bei Airbnb nicht vermietete Plätze bei Couchsurfing an und verbringt mit den Couchsurfern viel intensiver die Zeit als mit den Bezahlgästen.

Alternative: 49-Euroticket und #1nitetent.com

#surfhosting is #selfhosting while #couchsurfing.

The surfhosting project is a HOWTO of one way to do this.

It's also a community for cyberpunks, cyberserfs, and surfery cybers who live the lifestyle by choice or not.

Oder man ist 1 vorbildliche:r GenossX und nutzt, wie man das unter Sozialist:innen so macht, #bewelcome & Co.
Anfragen für Pfingsten: null. Aber passt irgendwie ja auch schon, wenn das nicht jede:r weiß. 🥴

I have a sweet friend who's looking for a place to crash in Minneapolis for a few days. They live here in New Orleans and are driving up there to attend the famous May Day celebrations with a group of comrades from here. :boost_anim_vanilla: #antifa #MutualAid #CouchSurfing

The #OGB uses the example of #Couchsurfing, where the website redesign removed the #DIY tools active Couchsurfers had used to self-organize, leading to disappointment among members. The #OGB argues that letting members make their own process, open vs. closed, is necessary to overcome the #geekproblem and have hope for alt-tech.

Which alternatives to #Couchsurfing can you recommend, since the original Couchsurfing site decided to go for the big money some time ago?

@fasnix Ich bin eher zufällig auf dem #Vokabeltrainer #babadum .com mal über #Esperanto "gestolpert" und war fasziniert,wie oft ich das richtige Einzelwort in Esperanto erraten konnte. Könnte eine neue Sprache für mich werden. Ich verstehe ehrlich gesagt nicht, warum die #EU nach dem #Brexit nicht stärker auf diese Sprache setzt. Und dann gibt es ja auch noch eine soziales #Netzwerk, das #Couchsurfing geklaut und dann digitalisiert hat: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servas_International
