@switchingsocial I dont know if you caught this. But just after I started on Mastodon I ran across your profile. Your web site inspired me to get rid of the big tech, introduced me to Yunohost and start a podcast to show other people like me how easy it really is. If you wouldnt mind it giving it a listen and some tips on what things I should cover over the course of the podcast.
https://boneheadmedia.com/blog/series/tshp/ there is also a vidcast for tutorials.

Hi. I am Jacob. I am into movies, music, most things computer related and I like to build homemade instruments when I have time. I really like Linux and Open Source software, but I don't shun other operating systems or software. I am the IT Department for a public library and like talking about library related topics as well.

whenever i see someone ask a question about computers that i feel is obvious, rather than saying READ THE MANUAL DO IT YOURSELF or HOW COULD YOU BE THIS UNINTELLIGENT i just explain how to do the thing, thus giving people a good experience with the community instead of making people associate linux users with smug, condescending, self-righteous asses

As 2019 dawns, end-to-end encryption is still legal. The FBI, the United Kingdom, and Australia don't like that fact. Or math. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/12/2018-encryption
