  RE: https://mastodon.thenewoil.org/@thenewoil/116737494345198084 Giving police this much data is like leaving a fat kid alone in a candy store.They are going to use it. Officers have been arrested multiple times for using Flock systems to track ex-partners, activists, and journalists. #Flock #Privacy

  I'm thinking about (maybe this weekend?) moving this Mastodon account to being self hosted. I still need to bring back my Linkstack (it has been down since migrating my server off of proxmox). Just stinking thinking.

• Post #3305543

  OK, I created my own Mastodon server at https://social.terminaltilt.com and I will begin migrating this account (if still on climatejustice.social) to @TerminalTilt@social.terminaltilt.com If I stop following you or you stop following me, please know it is because of bugs in the system and nothing personal. Thank you!

  This is my current pragmatic privacy stack. I am happy with where it sits. It is mostly sovereign, some necessary compromises. Note: There is no right answer here. I am not telling you what to do. I am only sharing my experience after spending the last couple of years taking back my sovereignty. Wins: Linux was my gateway drug. CachyOS + kernel tweaks keep me in control without losing convenience. Self hosting on two homelab nodes lets me experiment freely. Proton replaced 90% of my Google dep...

  The parallel between Proton's sponsorship of Vincent Lapierre and Framework's DHH/Omarchy sponsorship is striking. What separates them is the response: Proton terminated the deal and acknowledged the misstep. Framework doubled down on "software first" neutrality while critics raised legitimate concerns about who they were financially backing. Different outcomes, same underlying issue, companies claiming ethical stances need to vet partnerships consistently, not just reactivel...

  The proposed California law requiring age verification on all OSs is just silly. How do you enforce a border on a kernel? Unless they mandate locked bootloaders at the OEM level, which is a direct attack on #RightToRepair , they can't stop anyone from installing a #Linux distro. It is a move that only hurts law abiding users while being trivial for anyone with a thumb drive to bypass. Privacy is a right, not a verified privilege. #GNULinux #DigitalSovereignty #Privacy #California #Tec...

  I enjoy learning and nerding out about a lot of different technologies. However, I don't get excited about AI for the same reasons I don't care about weapons tech: I don't think it's cool to harm people. #NoAI :NoAI:

  It's been fun riding the non-systemd wave for a few weeks, but I think I might move onto CachyOS. Sometimes those out of the box kernel optimizations just call your name. #Linux #CachyOS #DistroHopping

  I have officially deleted my Amazon account and cut ties with their ecosystem entirely. For a long time, the convenience of Prime felt like a necessary evil, especially since they have a warehouse in my city and can do same day shipping. But I can no longer reconcile the big tech giant's behavior with the values I promote at Terminal Tilt. As a privacy advocate and FOSS supporter, continuing to feed the machine feels increasingly hypocritical. Ethically, their treatment of labor is inde...

  🚨 New Video: YubiKey 5 Review - Security Essential or Overpriced? The "Industry Standard" is usually a warning sign. In this video, we are looking at the YubiKey 5 NFC and 5C NFC. These are arguably the best engineered security keys on the planet. They are injection molded, "violence-proof," and they work with just about everything. But for those of us in the Linux and FOSS community, they present a problem. Can you trust a security tool if you aren&#39...

  Jeff Bezos is saying the quiet part out loud. They want to kill local computing. You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your computing power from the cloud. You pay a subscription for the privilege of using a computer. AI demand is artificially spiking DRAM prices and Big Tech is pushing "AI PCs," the squeeze is on to force us into a rental model. Reject this future. :NoAI: Keep your hardware local. Run #Linux. :tux: Own your data. The "cloud&quo...

  Stop being scared of being disliked by people you don't actually like. It is exhausting burning energy trying to appease the unappeasable or fit into spaces that don't respect your values. Build your own spaces, stick to your principles, and let the rest sort itself out. #LifeAdvice #Mindset #Boundaries #DigitalSovereignty #Fediverse #CommunityBuilding #PersonalGrowth

  The greatest threat isn't a catastrophic system failure. It is the slow creep of apathy. When we stop demanding transparency and settle for convenience at the cost of our agency we lose the will to build better ones. The end will be a whisper of "it doesn't matter anyway." #Apathy #NoAI #enshittification #DigitalSovereignty #Privacy

  NordVPN is the Starbucks of privacy: it is everywhere, too expensive for what you get, and bad for you. If you are considering it after a YouTube creator told you about it, consider a better alternative like @mullvadnet , @ivpn , Proton VPN, or Windscribe. Explore your options before you hand over your credit card. #TerminalTilt #FOSS #Privacy #Linux #SelfHosted #NordVPN #Mullvad #IVPN #Proton #ProtonVPN #Windscribe

  Sonnet 18 (The Laundry Day Variant) Shall I compare thee to a laundry day? Thou art more endless and less temperate: Rough spins do shake the fragile seams away, And cotton's lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the dryer's breath doth glow, And often is its linty trap obscured; And every matching sock its mate lets go, By chance or tumbling mechanism lured. But thy eternal pile shall never fade, Nor lose possession of the stains thou ow'st; Nor shall the...

  What if I told you there is a totally open-source security key that is also a crypto-wallet and it costs about the same as some Yubikeys?
