I'm a mountain biker, but I can appreciate BMX.

I really liked this video. If you're a biker, you'll probably like it as well. youtube.com/watch?v=UDZpsjtfYu

Governments world wide have no control over @wikileaks and that scares them, what scares me is the notion that all other news outlets are more or less controlled.

I don't know if Signal is completely safe. What if they were required to send out an update to the application that also transmitted data in cleartext to a third party. It would look exactly the same to the user.

As long as you don't have reproducible builds and there is no way for the community to verify that everybody is running the same code (using a separate process that is independent of the application vendor) this is incredibly difficult to guard against.

An Advanced SWR meter I built about a month ago. It calculates phase shift so can compute a complex impedance and complex SWR, something most meters cant do. Schematics included.

If you are here on Mastodon. You have made the first step to liberation.
Now, please speak up about Julian Assange and participate in the global movement so that his dignity is given back to him.

Most censorship techniques adopted by ISPs around the world are subtle, so it can be hard to distinguish intentional government censorship from transient network failures or other issues.

Transparency is essential.

OONI's dataset is probably the largest publicly-available resource on internet censorship to date:

I had a good time watching the old "Mystery Of The Sphinx" youtube.com/watch?v=5Nf6kYum6g where the skeptic Egyptologists argue that no advanced civilization older than 4500 B.C. have existed.

Then comparing it with the recently discovered ruins of Göbekli Tepe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6b which was founded 10 000 B.C.

While contemplating this, imagine if you had advanced cultures in the past who believed in sustainable life, as in living in harmony and balance with nature without depleting its resources. Then we would never know, because they wouldn't leave anything behind.

The criteria for leaving a mark in history seems to be power hungry kings/leaders, massive use of resources, fanatic religions or slavery. So, I guess it is safe to assume peaceful societies living in harmony with nature will always be forgotten over time.
