Self Privacy is set of utilities designed for non-professional users and installation on a small VPS or home server with limited resources and with minimal knowledge in IT specifics.
selfprivacy.org/en/
A commoner can set up his own private server in semi-automated mode with step-by-step instructions. And a special NixOS package set with installer allows to automatically install a basic set of decentralized utils:
- Private email server
- Bitwarden password manager
- Jitsi-meet for video conferences, etc
- VPN with OpenConnect for safe network browsing and creating private networks
- Delta-chat secure messenger
- Nextcloud for network file storage and sharing
- Gitea as source control and storage
- Pleroma as an entry to Fediverse
The installation is designed for a wide circle of users that want to get their own safe and secure server without getting into the complicated software setup process.
The alpha-version is launched and is tested now.
Developers accept comments and suggestions at https://t.me/selfprivacy
Thanks to @kirill
Please, spread the information for more users to learn about this project.

Is GDPR worth the paper it’s printed on? According to these fine folks, “browser fingerprinting … incognito mode detection … geolocation … anonymous user detection”, etc., are all apparently GDPR-compliant without consent if done for “fraud protection.”

I copy this here from my LinkedIn:
Still look for an interesting job. Remotely.
I would say in short - C/Linux. Ideally, this is so.
I can write in C++. It's not a problem by itself, but its standard turned into something strange the past years. They steered up together programming language and system features like threads and this is not good. So I would prefer pure C because it stays consistent and universal tool for development and the guys upstairs can differ programming abstractions from system architecture, at least.
But please, no Windows, no Python, nothing like that. This is out of scope. Not my cup.
I deal with back-ends, system, hardware and networks-related programming. Threading and synchronization is not a problem: I haven't written a single threaded application since I graduated from Uni and it was decades ago. And yes, I'm a BS of math. Cannot call myself a mathematician (too big thing) but I'm smart enough to operate with any logical constructions and cope with complicated models.
I have quite a lot of experience in telecommunications, networks, real-time industrial automation software. Both architectural design from the base ground and/or development, getting into big massive of existing code, optimizing and profiling, tracing out and fixing difficult and rare bugs and quirks, optimizing for speed and/or for memory consumption. But I'm not into UI development and prefer to stay in console/daemons/system realms.
Physically I reside in Russia, but I fluently speak English and the past years I worked remotely. So remote job is not covid-related issue, it's just a common remote job for preferably long term. I like big and complicated projects that need a lot of work and have some meaning, when the results are useful for people, for industry or science. No military or Russian Govt related projects (strong personal animosity to that species). I welcome any job related with improving network safety and stability, user privacy, people's welfare and any progressive and useful tasks that make civilization progress. If the code is open source - this is excellent. I support the open source movement and try to contribute if I have a chance.

Everyone gets these invitations here in Moscow, there's propaganda on every corner, inside every public transport. They are opening vaccination points in supermarkets, shopping centers. In some cities they are gifting food or money for injecting yourself.
Most people don't trust this vaccine. They would like to wait and see if there are any long-term adverse effects.

Signal created targeted ads for Instagram that show the personal data that Facebook collects about you and sells access to.

> define "hurt"
To inflict physical pain or damage, or to inflict financial damage.
Ok, I understood your point and I disagree. I put personal freedom above everything else you mentioned. To put morals, ethicts, nation above a personal freedom looks like USSR to me, where a person was expected to live in service of a political party. I was born in USSR and some people I know would like to bring it back, but I don't like the idea.
Also, who says what's moral, ethical and in nation's interests? In other words, who defines what personal freedoms can be taken away today? Is it religion, or is it a party, a government? I believe people in power often abuse that power, given the chance.

Some blocklists from Pi-hole default setup and more I found on the net + Quad9 as an upstream DNS server.
Pi-hole did not work for me, so I made a similar setup with some other software.

Had some weird experience at my previous work!
Some people would come in the morning (when we still worked in the office) and discuss the daily infected and dead count, other virus related news every day. They seemed happy to talk about it. That sounded crazy, do these folks feel more alive when someone is dead? Or is it just entertainment for them, like a movie?
@awethon
Why do you think decriminalization = promoting?
I would say it's stupid to punish someone for something when no one has been hurt, that's it.

Yes I did - gave them my phone number 😑

Same experience a couple of years ago, only I got banned before the first login. Without a VPN.
@EmbraceTheGray@social.privacytools.io
It's been a nice learning experience for me, too. Feel free to ping or DM me if you face some obstacles.

It's possible but it's not gonna be noob-friendly.
CoreDNS can do DoH and DoT and forward everything to Pi-hole.
