I sincerely hope that photos of google public DNS addresses spray painted on walls makes it out of our cyberpunk dystopia and into history books

sure, it's not decentralization, but it's censorship circumvention and a stern reminder that what you build has an effect on people beyond your wildest imagination

I'm leaving @apple and @google. This is #eelo, a new project to provide privacy-enabled smartphones and web services to humans. The kickstarter campaign is now open, support eelo! indidea.org/gael/blog/leaving- mastodon.social/media/iXl9XYSQ

Thanks for the advice tootles. I think I'll setup my family up with . If you want to support an open source project with autofill I've been using BitWarden - bitwarden.com

Any suggestions for a password manager service for family members on a budget that is easy to use.

Hey cyberfriends! Merry christmas, happy holidays or whatever your traditional is this time of the year. Mastodon is such a lovely place to hang. You're my peeps!

Sending love & Jedi hugs to everyone who is enduring a day(s) of not being able to be themselves because of 'Obligatory Family Holiday' time.

You are still valid, still good, still wanted in the world, even if your family can't/won't see you, or if it's not safe for you to be seen as you really are.

❤️ for you. #lgbtqai

Set up a bot to randomly post a Doctor Who quote every day. Now I wait 24 hours to see if I got my crontab line correct.

I just died and went to curry heaven. Turns out it’s at まんてん (Manten) Curry, this little hole in the wall restaurant in Tokyo! They only make curry with different amounts of of tempura meat, and it’s fucking amazing. I can’t even appropriately express how good it is.

Japanese curry is just the best thing in the whole goddamn world. I want it to be the last thing I eat before I die and also the only thing I ever eat every day of my life.

I'm in for the day, what are the best joints these days? last night was lovely.

honestly, HumanBody is the worst hacked-together nonsense i've ever seen.
- no documentation (_everything_ we have is from reverse engineering by enthusiasts)
- little to no runtime modification, everything's baked in at DNA compilation time
- all the sensory hardware is fragile and pretty much impossible to replace when it inevitably breaks
- the built in security is decent but has to constantly download patches to cope with the latest malware, and is only necessary cause of larger systemic problems

I'm playing tunes on the radio, kinda... 🍍 Wanna listen? It won't change your life but it might be nice :sigil: radio8k.airtime.pro/

Like a secure physical folder or something?

Any advice on securing 10x A4 pieces of paper with important InfoSec deets on it?
