Happy new year! 🥳 Here's a recap of the work we did last year at BusKill 👆
Have you ever been locked-out of your own account "for your protection"? 🤦

This guide 👆 shows how to setup a Persistent, Sandboxed, Single-Site-Browser using #firejail and #proxychains to minimize the risk of Evil-Corp effectively issuing a #DOS attack against you (due to false positives)
@MakerTube A password reset does work to regain access (though it's a bit scary how someone can gain access to an account by intercepting an unencrypted email sent from your server, without authenticating in any way)

This year we continued our land search in #Ecuador, created a new logo, and a second prototype of our water sanitation system 🇪🇨💧🏠🚾
@MakerTube Thanks for your work keeping this instance up-to-date.
Unfortunatley, after this update, I can no longer login

It appears to be a bug with v8.0.0 :(

Dead Man Switch, Interdiction, and Open Source Hardware (Buskill Interview)
@MarquisofMinge @henry I am not a house painter 🤣
@MichaelAltfield just wanted to say thanks for mentioning that Darknet Diaries episode about Citizen Labs on the Techlore interview. Was an older episode I wasn't aware before, had heard of Citizen Labs before but didn't really know what they did.
@CliffsEsport For reference, this is the link to the video in-question, where I talk about #DarknetDiaries and @citizenlab
@CliffsEsport Jack interviews folks at Citizen Lab *a lot*! See episodes:
47: Project Raven
79: Dark Basin
99: The Spy
100: NSO
137: Predator
And I also highly recommend this one. It's with EFF's Threat Lab, which does similar work to Citizen Lab
38: Dark Caracal
We’ve shared a new blog post about our phone! 📱

How can you check if a #Tor .onion is alive or dead? 🤔
🔗 https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2025/11/05/onion-service-alive-dead/
👆Not all @torproject #Onion Services run on port 80, so it's better to query the #HiddenService Descriptor 💡
