@sir todo.sr.ht speed and minimalism makes it easy to focus only on the things that matter.
When the evidence debunking "nothing to hide" is overwhelming but you still cant say the name of the movement that has been criticizing you since day 1 because you cannot bite the hand that feeds you.

I spent money to buy an "amateur hacker" account on sourcehut.org! One of the main reasons I started hacking on sxmo was cause it was hosted on sourcehut.
This video explains why free software needs free tools and how git came into existence cause the linux project got the license to their version control system revoked:

Git is good but we must do more and getting away from github is a worthwhile goal!

@heavenly_general What's a good FOSS commenting system that respects user privacy and freedoms?
I currently just use sr.ht's mailing lists (public-inbox).

@jbauer I just found out that pleroma has a similar option! I really love how customizable pleroma/fediverse is.
@jbauer Also kind of sucks how most social media encourages groupthink. Like sending a screenshot of a tweet with 5k likes as if you and 5k other people couldn't be wrong collectively.
Honk has the right idea - disable number of likes and reposts.

@celia I saw this project and thought it was cool: https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism
Haven't tried it but you might find it useful.

Whoa. Livestreaming support for peertube was merged 2 weeks ago! Very happy I donated to the project. I might livestream myself working on software for the pinephone.
Why should you work on free software (or other technology issues)?

I would add that free software allows us to talk about these issues. Consider how alot of nonfree software has a EULA that says "the proprietor has the right to take away your license to use at anytime". Basically if you come in between the proprietor and their profits, your means to work, conduct activism, etc will be cut.

Email is much harder to selfhost. My current provider is migadu. You should read their privacy policy and such. Ive heard good things about posteo and other places. Ofc. Email is very insecure and ideally, someone makes some software to make pgp easier for normal people and it gets adoption from big organizations (banks, companies that bill you, etc.).

@heavenly_general @morenonatural For chat, I selfhost prosody. Prosody is very easy to setup and can be run on a raspberrypi.
For video calls, I am an fsf member so I can use their jitsi instance.

@heavenly_general @morenonatural Ya, that post definitely made me very skeptical of "privacy respecting services" that dont federate. (ie. protonmail, signal, etc.)

@heavenly_general @morenonatural I think Daniel (maintainer of conversations.im) had a good point about this:
Things like federation can help with the metadata problem because it is not kept in a central place.
See: https://gultsch.de/xmpp_2016.html
AFAIK, nextcloud federates or at least it did when I used it on my university's instance. I personally prefer syncthing cause it solves the metadata problem by being peer-to-peer.

@samanthasometimes @Shardiech Be advised if you live with others - some websites that FOSS nerds would never go on don't work with adblock on. So your family members will just quietly suffer since they dont know why a site isnt working...
On the plus side, it removes lowers the network traffic by ALOT alongside improving privacy.

@colinl @PierreCol LOL, Google creating a training set to teach computers how to program themselves would be a 4D chess move.
