@maj It would be a shame if someone scanned a face from any one of these sites:

@GrapheneOS is being threatened by French authorities for refusing to add backdoors and they're dealing with coordinated attacks in French media right now. They're pulling out of France entirely, moving all their servers, and fighting off a wave of bullshit one-sided reporting that makes them look like they're helping criminals.

They need us to fight back. Support them however you can, whether that's a dollar, sharing their story, pushing back on the garbage news coverage when you see it, or just telling someone you know about what's happening. All of it matters because they're drowning in attacks from governments and media and bad actors who want them gone.

This is the only Android OS that actually makes me feel like privacy isn't just marketing. They fight for us now they need us to fight for them.

The EU is pushing Chat Control and creating an environment where governments feel empowered to threaten developers into compliance, and if we stay quiet we're letting it happen. Show up for them in whatever way you're able to.

Today marks 7 months of unemployment and I am very much down to the wire.

I am a full-stack & backend web developer, fluent in TypeScript, with experience building data-focused applications and both SQLite and Postrges databases.

I’m located in the northeast United States and have experience working and successfully collaborating with small, remote teams.

Boosts are appreciated. 🙏

How to Setup WireGuard on OpenBSD

A guide from "The Lone Stack" - may it helps you to build this.

Wow, #OpenSSH is now warning you if your terminal session might be decrypted by #QuantumComputers in the future.

On the off-chance this technology magically succeeds unlike all the other unfounded hype out there, we will have much bigger problems than people in the future knowing how many times I needed to clear the cache before this damn website would work properly.

@smallsco @twvd Crazy to think what the world would be like if the Fedi started in the late 90's... Honestly, Mastodon would have worked quite well over dial-up!

@mwl Totally stealing this idea. When I closed my office last year I repurposed a bunch of old drives and build a big ZFS zraid3 array with cheap USB enclosures -- and copied everything important onto it.

Right now, I only spin it up quarterly for last-resort backups, and I fear the day that I try to find a failed drive in the mess I've created for myself...

@james Not exactly what you're asking for, but I bought some stuff from their online store and it arrived in around a week -- I was startled by how fast it arrived, since it said it was coming from China to Canada.

Moderately surprising: Avi Lewis, NDP leadership candidate, is posting social media posts on Mastodon.

Mildly surprising: Avi Lewis is making social media posts in French

Incredibly surprising: Avi Lewis's French social media posts on Mastodon have the language indicator set correctly

@rext It’s likely a scam - if they give you the ticket, you stay in your seat, then can’t find that person after the movie is over…. They artificially increase ticket sales, you get nothing.

@jsmall If it knew the difference…. Why ask?

@morattisec Wondering if I should add this to the header of every web page to deter scraping...

Called it…

@fesshole I think the issue is that they're boys, not men. :)

@HoffmanLabs This is why I hate the ever-more-frequent nags from iOS and macOS to upgrade…. Like, fix the bugs first, and then I’ll see about it later.

Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion:
Armed Forces envision insurgency tactics like those used by Afghan mujahedeen, sources say. But officials and experts stress a U.S. operation is unlikely, and the scenarios are conceptual

I'm just passin' by
