@freemo that's impressive
@alastc DDoS? 
@design_RG haha thanks
@freemo The only pen I use is a Fisher AG7. My daughter loves the Fisher Bullet. She's been using it for 3 years (she's 7). I'm sure a fountain pen is on an even crazier level, but never used one.
@freemo Probably true, I didn't follow him that closely during the last election, there was too much to keep up with just figuring out how many shitty things Hillary did back then.
@freemo I don't what happened behind closed doors some months back with him, but something did, and he flipped completely.
@freemo Awesome to see the newly conforming Bernie not even bothering to show for the vote

For people who might need occasional anonymity and privacy when accessing websites, Tor Browser provides a quick and easy way to use the Tor network. Review our guide on Tor for Windows to get set up. https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/how-use-tor-windows
Thank god for the Patriot Act and its additions. Before I had very little faith and trust in our gov't, and now I have 0. That makes things easier. Thanks!
@liam_reilly@fosstodon.org already removed everything but the account. I'm still thinking it might work for identity verification only. But I want to just delete it. So sad @unicornfarts @cooper
My media server had a powerless and rebooted. Got everything back up and running except VNC. Everything looks good but can't VNC in. I wanna Hulk SMASH

Zoom acquired Keybase today.
Keybase helped me to identify a trend in the software industry: using a pretty UI to cover up the disruption of an open ecosystem with a closed, centralized replacement. Keybase seemed cool on the face of it - making encryption easier is a laudible goal, and PGP certainly could use the improvement. But, thanks to Keybase, now I ask different questions upfront.
Beware the Keybase formula:
1. Integrates with an existing, open ecosystem
2. May have open-source clients, but server is closed source and does not federate
3. Pretty UI and good marketing
4. VC funded

Re all the #stellar coins in your soon to be terminated keybase account, please remember that @torproject accepts donations too
Keybase being acquired by Zoom is the worst thing that could have happened to keybase 😭

Forcing contract tracing apps upon the public may be the first wave of an all out war on privacy.
Consider avoiding all technology that real-time tracks & shares your location.
Saying ‘no’ is a superpower that we all share.

If you want to fight back - Choose to be vocal about saying no. Discuss with friends & family in all social channels. Immediately contact your politician. Avoid supportive purchases.
