My way of rebelling against techbros and autocrats:
December 2024: quit all Big Tech platforms and start #selfhosting essential services
December 2025: write guides for newbies about how to self-host
I'm also in discussion with a blogger I admire to start a podcast about tech... where we'll focus on solutions (instead of problems)... aiming to inspire others to join in...
It's been a really heavy year but these little acts of rebellion give me hope ✨

@_elena I would love to move from a lot of the big tech services that I use.
The likes of Adobe CC, Webflow and Intuit are destroying me with the price increases. But they are all essential for my work.

@andycarolan every once in a while some creator does a show & tell of tools they adopted as alternatives to Adobe. I know it's super hard to quit it... in my domain, I argue there is no sophisticated alternative to AfterEffects, especially when it comes to the wealth of ready-made templates. I'm lucky I'm basically on a filmmaking hiatus so I don't have to deal with that...

@_elena I have looked into it on a few occasions, and was close to moving to Affinity. But then Canva bought them.
I remember you saying about AE. It's definitely most people's go-to app for that kind of thing.
Even between just Adobe, Webflow and Quickbooks, I'm paying over £100 a month 😩

@Iloo thanks! Most people on the Fediverse will already be familiar with privacy and FOSS tools we'll recommend. But we think the podcast could be great for Fedi people's spouses, parents, siblings, cousins and friends who think that adopting these tools is "too hard" or "too time consuming".
Oh and the cherry on top is that we plan to use @Castopod for it 🤗

@andycarolan £100 a month for these three?!?! OMGGGGGGGGG 😱
This is precisely why I switched to Pixelmator Pro for graphics and DaVinci Resolve for video editing.
These prices are extortionate!!!

Great idea 🙌🏻 !
I think a podcast could reach even more ppl, who rather listen to podcasts than reading longer blogs. Maybe even with guests sometimes 🤷🏻?
With your projects you’re not just giving yourself hope, but also others 😊 🚀

Announcing Key Transparency for the Fediverse
I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of a reference implementation for the Public Key Directory server. This software implements the Key Transparency specification I've been working on since last year, and is an important stepping stone towards secure end-to-end encryption for the Fediverse. You can find the software publicly available on GitHub: PHP Server software: PHP SDK (client-side):

So, my dad was a nurse so he knows how the medical system works very well.
I asked him if he could book me a visit last month.
He told me the visit was for the 15 of January.
Two days ago he goes
"Raccoon remember that in two days you have the visit"
"You told me it was next month tho..."
"WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, why would I book it for January? You only need 15 days to tell at work you need a day off, I booked it for this month!"
"Uh. K."
So now I was getting ready to go. I get the papers.
And I see it.
15 of next month.
Now, you may be about to type lol dumb raccoon you could have checked!
And you'd be absolutely right.
But I still called him to tell him he's a dum dum.

When I moved across the bus to take this photo, my husband looked at me like, "what in the world are you doing?", and then I showed him the photo, and he was like, "oh, ok, I see."

🫒 Mai fidarsi di un barattolo solo perché è ben etichettato.
Mario Brega lo sapeva già negli anni ’80. I fornitori sono una cosa importante e dietro un barattolo di Olive può esserci un mondo!
Quindi pima di fidarti di un barattolo, chiediti:
👉 chi le ha raccolte?
👉 chi le ha confezionate?
👉 chi le ha trasportate?
👉 chi ha fatto l’etichetta?
👉 chi ha aggiornato il software del camion refrigerato?
👉 …e se qualcuno, nel frattempo, non ci ha piazzato un malware nell’olio extravergine?#redhotcyber #meme #memengineering #comics #ridere #cringe #hacking #cybersecurity #cybercrime #intelligence #intelligenzaartificiale #informationsecurity #ethicalhacking #infosecurity #RHCmeme #Awareness

Did a family thing (note to self: never let anyone convince you to use an airport again).
Now I’m back in the USSR.
Don’t know how lucky you are, boy…Oh, show me 'round your snow-peaked mountains way down South
Take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear your donkey honking ringing out,
Come and keep your comrade warm

Certo.
Quel che mi incuriosisce, semmai, è:Sul telefono di lavoro, dove devo avere WA, ho negato tutte le autorizzazioni (tranne la rubrica, obbligatoria).
Ho anche inibito ogni notifica: per sapere se ho msg devo aprirla a mano.
Quindi no telefono: però la connettività internet ovviamente è implicita.
Credo non cambi nulla, vero?
Non che ci perda il sonno, cmq.
