  Headed to a local Free Swap event! Going to be at a table for our Free Fridge & Food Rescue group. We have free food to hand out and we'll be there to receive food as well - so we'll act as an exchange node at the event. Anything left over from the event will be immediately put into the fridges afterwards. I love Free Swaps. Just bring what you have and pick up what you want. #solarPunk #mutualAid #freeSwap

  "Human in the Loop" is the new "Air Gap". It's used as a common platitude of a security best practice... ...but does not, never has, and never will exist.

  At my library's repair cafe as a volunteer. It's the first time they're running it and they're hoping to do this regularly. I came in thinking I would help with computer troubleshooting... but they have enough people doing that. So I figured I could help with Linux OS install... but the local Linux Install Party is here and has enough people. Then a guy brought in a bicycle! And no one is here doing bike repair. But I brought my allen wrench set and a multitool. So I just go...

  My food group (Free Fridges, Food Rescue, and Indoor Gardening) has an official logo now. ( -This feels like a significant benchmark- ) A member of my group proposed us getting an official logo so we could start printing out business cards, make T-shirts and Polos, print out an event booth banner, and make giveaway swag, etc.... ...all of which will really help grow the group and its operations as we attend events and reach out in the local community. We all agreed and that group member in...

  This affects the Fediverse. This affects the Internet. This is the equivalent of the "rubber hose method" of decryption. All technical solutions (read: all technology) is subject to politics. To political power. To political interactions. You cannot rely on purely technical approaches. You have to have social approaches, too. Like. Actual policy and procedure geared around social and political group dynamics. Like. How will we react when the US Govt requires that @jerry@infos...

  Aw snap! I'm late for this week's #monsterdon !!! Just turned on the movie on Tubi (I've already used all of my Hoopla rentals this month!) Other places to watch: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/the-stuff #thestuff1985

  My library gives me free access to other apps and services through the Hoopla app's Binge Passes. So now I'm watching classic anime for free through the RetroCrush app via the Hoopla app via my library card. I love this #solarpunk future.

  Y'all know I like indoor hydroponics for growing food in small spaces like apartments, condos, and townhomes. Check this project out! Indoor aquaponics! Combine raising fish/shrimp and using their waste to grow your veggies! #solarPunk #hydroponics #aquaponics https://erinmurphy.dev/projects/project-2/

  I post up a lot of things that I do. That's nice. I'm going to post up a failure real quick. Nothing major. But still Trying to put up wallpaper in my room. Peel and stick. With a pattern. I'm so tired of millennial gray. I need aesthetics. Anyhow. I'm about to puke out of pain. With my body breaking down, doing this level of weird body postures has me hurting so much that my body juiced me with so much endorphins that I feel like I've taken a fistful of hydrocodone....

  @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org - Oh gosh... I mean, the first time I did it all I had was a leatherman and some allen wrenches, lol. Umm... the ideal kit I'm building out contains (will contain): - Portable folding bike stand - Set of allen wrenches/hex keys - Set of wrenches - flat head / philips head screwdrivers - Cable housing cutter - Cable wire cutter - Channelocks - CLP (not WD-40, WD-40 is terrible for bikes, it gathers a lot of gunk. I use CLP instead.) - Rags, Disposable Floor cover/pad for o...

  @BB@scicomm.xyz @Cycrev@infosec.exchange - Hosted Rootable asks for non-profits to pay according to their budget. We're very small and don't pay anything. Also, Rootable is open sourced so you can host it yourself without paying Rootable themselves. Olio is wonderful, very peer-to-peer. The simplest way to do it is to run a spread sheet and coordinate your volunteers that way locally, as you mention.

  Alright, sent an email to the head of my local library about setting up a seed library there. Seeds libraries are places you can go and "check out" seeds. Grow the seeds. Let one of the grown plants go to seed. Harvest the seeds. Then "return" the seeds back to the seed library! Free seeds!!!! Check and see if you have a seed library near you: https://www.communityseednetwork.org/map/ Or connect and share seeds with folks online: https://exchange.seedsavers.org #solarPun...

  Had a Repair Cafe today! The local library hosts one every quarter. This was the second one and we had 50 people show up! We're hoping to start offering it more frequently, they're just ramping up. I was there for bike repair. I used to have a solid kit built out, but lost a lot of my tools in previous moves, so I'm building it out again. I had two bikes that came in today. I tuned rear derailleurs and break lines. Swapped out some break pads. Pumped up tires and did sole basic...

  The argument that "AI works therefore we should use it" is akin to "Torture works therefore we should use it." I don't mean that as hyperbole. The underlying purpose of AI is at least twofold: 1) It puts a layer of abstraction over information. - Primary Source: Raw data (eg video footage of an event) - Secondary Source: Analysis (eg Low bias news and analysis of what this event means in the context of other events) - Tertiary Source: Meta Analysis (eg Encyclopedia e...

  Regarding AI slop permeating everything... It's incredibly important to know that right now there is a MASSIVE amount of money and effort by corporations, financial institutions, and governments to get people to use it. (There are motivations behind pushing that use that go well beyond just making a buck. AI is a layer of abstraction over information control, it's a method of locking in compute control, etc etc) But that use is still heavily subsidized - from cheap tokens and use sub...

  Damn. This quote from Linus Torvalds is... well... damning. In response to a discussion around use of generative AI as it relates to contributions to the Linux code base, Linus (creator and lead contributor to Linux) firmly states that AI contributions are welcome. But then he goes on and concludes with this: "The kernel project has been and will continue to be about the technology. Sure, the social angle of working on open source is important and often a very motivating part of the p...

  RE: https://floss.social/@doctormo/116927739358578223 So serious question... What is #OpenBSD's take on AI? (in general and as a whole, i imagine individual contributors have their own stances of course). I'm running out of places to run to (and I'm already standing and fighting as much as I am able).
