Looking for more #motivation in my everyday #life !
Everyone talks about federating and P2P... I wonder how many people know of/remember the Seeks Project. A P2P metasearch engine that could legit become a decentralized full-fledged search engine if people got into it. https://beniz.github.io/seeks/
I just want everything to be text based in my terminal. Is that so hard?
Good morning #sdf, #gopher users and #fediversers ! So, I compiled #synchronet on one of my pis. I think that BBSes are cool, and this one also supports having a gopher daemon. I'm not very artistic, but I do want to create a BBS for activists who want to shape a new and better internet, as well as for other things as well(Games, music etc lol).
#grassrootwavelengths is build on the #RootIO #radio platform, a free/open hardware and software stack that allows the creation of a station based on an inexpensive smart phone. Community members listen on #FM radio, and interact with the station through the Web and their phones''
I love this project: a riverbed in Amsterdam was drained and the ~700,000 found objects dating from the 1300s to present were photographed and presented online:
Good morning #SDF, #fediverse and #phloggers! I ordered another Raspberry #pi since I felt my older one just wasn't cutting it anymore. I'll put a #gopher server and #BBS on the new one coming.
I'm thinking of experimenting with #arduino, so I wanna know, what kind of things can you do with a arduino and a pi together? Have you peeps done anything cool lately with your pis and arduinos?

Any non-geek buying a win10 pc and clicking through will be sending a *mountain* of info to redmond.
Even a geek can't stop it entirely during install on a business pc. The only 100% cure is to cfg the router I suppose.
For a friend I'd... <screech!> ... well, I wouldn't let a friend use the thing or any ms code.
20 years ago I told everyone if they wouldn't use gnu/linux or bsd they could find another someone to help them. Lost exactly zero friends, but lost a lot of probs
Right now I plan to use #Ikiwiki or #mediawiki for the planned application/site resource, since that's what #freedombox comes with. So far I've been putting in the ideas in a blog post draft, but now I'm thinking of just first putting it in a personal wiki, and then exporting that to one of those wikis. I want to feature #howtos, #hacks, #links, and so on and so forth to make a full featured resource.
After looking at sites like #disroot, I would like to make a site like that.
Trimet (an entity that is supposed to provide public transit for ppl) has jurisdiction over the area where demonstrators are curr camped.
This "public service" is now demanding protesters vacate, despite other agencies not wanting to carry this out. Spoke with their cust service line. Was not fun
This is no surprise from an agency more concerned with giving tickets and criminalizing poverty than providing transport

Call them if you can. Pressure matters:

Good afternoon #sdfers, #fediversers and #phloggers! So today I worked more on switching my accounts from google. It was surprisingly easy and felt liberating. I'd say I'm 97% of the way done, and as far as dropbox and google drive go, I'm just gonna use syncthing. I'm still compiling a list of resources that concern recommended sites, applications and so on and so forth for people to use that are decentralized, open source and secure. I want to make a wiki about it eventually.
Reclaiming RSS
“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”
Good afternoon #SDFers. #fediversers and #phloggers! So today #Protonmail was under attack by a DDoS, and a group claimed responsibility. I have most of my email on there, and I couldn't access it today, which got me worried. Even if there's good solutions to everything, it's gotta be decentralized and you can't put your trust into just one piece of the puzzle. Ultimately, it's harder having multiple accounts for everything, but in the end, it's safer and more reliable. What all do you think?
Good evening #SDFers, #fediversers and #phloggers! Yesterday is when I seriously started to move almost all my email out of gmail. I'd say I'm almost completely done with the email bit of my de-google-fying. I'd say I'm 90% with things now, and now with the help of the #freedombox, I am also successfully moving things out of other services as well and making them my own instead of being owned by a third-party! Onward and upward we go!

Heya all, I'm back. I was on vacation with family for about a month and that's why I wasn't posting like I usually do! Anyways, while I was gone I bought a cheap HP laptop for now until I get a job or something to get a better desktop. So far it works like a dream. The only problem? Linux doesn't recognize the wireless card. It's a realtek card, but I think that in maybe a few months the driver will be integrated into the kernel. Here's to hoping!
Good afternoon #sdf, #fediverse! The #neogeo mini looks fun! And it comes with all my favorite games!
Good morning #sdf, #fediverse! So I’m back at my family’s place. They have a win xp machine that’s agonizingly slow. I would like to replace with a fast and cheap Linux machine. I mean, this thing has 512 mb of ram and like 20 gb or less of hd space. Dunno of any good Linux machines that are cheap tho...
