I'm tired of hearing the empty and misguiding "ads are the price of an open and free internet".

The new OnionShare is out!

It adds a bunch of great features like tabs, anonymous chat that never logs anything, and better command line support.

Here's the blog post: micahflee.com/2021/02/onionsha

Download OnionShare 2.3 from: onionshare.org

Install it on a headless server:

`pip3 install --user onionshare-cli`

Read the amazing new docs that are translated to a bunch of languages: docs.onionshare.org/2.3/en/

Is the Verizon 5G pitch based purely on surveillance?

Enjoy live streaming?
Prefer self-hosting?

Check out Owncast, a neat self-hosted live streaming server!

Opensource, written in #golang, easy to install & setup!

It's still fairly young, but looks super promising and already works amazingly well 😍

I have to praise the quality of customer support by @ungleich

Definitely recommended! These people know what they are doing :)

Chilling out after work with the latest 8-Bit Show And Tell episode, on 6502 assembly :commodore:

Robin's calm exposition and one-handed typing are so... soothing. The nerd equivalent of a knitting show 😌

The fediverse’s first public Managed Group Server is live!

  • Sign up while all the good names are available *

You can go to groups.qoto.org and register for a group. But be sure to read the about/more page first to understand how it works! groups.qoto.org/about/more

Anyway, as far as I know this is the first time the fediverse has had an open, managed group server.

QOTO also has the group directory. Attached is what the group directory, and a group timeline looks like on QOTO, but we did some streamlining, your client may render groups differently and most wont have the directory, which is a federated list of active groups.

Anyway, anyone who wants a group, go sign up for one! Its open now!

Use a mask, use Tor.

Today we’re launching our year-end campaign centered on the ways we can care for ourselves and our community: by masking up and using Tor. Anonymity loves company, after all.

Help resist the surveillance pandemic. #UseAMaskUseTor

My 6yo son yesterday during family boardgame time:
"Dad are we in my brain?"
"What do you mean son?"
"What if I'm sleeping and dreaming all of you? What if you are sleeping and I'm just one of your dreams?"

Woah, I wasn't prepared to discuss this so early, but we had a great time.

Looking for an EPUB reader for my tablet with a single use case: reading EPUB books.
No analytics. No crash reports. No sync. No cloud access.
Let me read my book, alone.

My energy provider sent me this nice report with the source type breakdown. More information for better decision making.

Lunduke's argument should cause some discomfort:

if you're out there defending the replacement of master/slave terminology because it *reminds* people of slavery, but at the same time use a MacBook, an iPad or an iPhone, which are produced by slave-like labor, you should rethink some choices.

First recommendation for today's playlist.
Come on YouTube, why do you want to see me cry this early in the morning?

For those who celebrate (or demand) a political stand from companies, media channels, celebrities, a poet once said:

"Your friendship is a fog
That disappears when the wind redirects"

I always pronounced Gemini as "Gem-uh-knee" and today a friend pronounced as "Gem-uh-nigh" so I went to check on the dictionary and it had the latter as the correct one. WHAT?!

I was pretty sure all the documentaries I watched used "knee" - I went back and watched some again, there it is.

Then I found this posted by the NYT.

I'm assuming the protocol is also pronounced with a "knee" given it's name was inspired by the space program.
