What if we could create a single server "cloud", to which anyone could contribute storage and processing power? All accounts exist in that "cloud", rather than on any given droplet within it. There could be multiple ways of contributing; dedicated VPS, desktop apps contributing processing power when connected, mobile apps when plugged in and on unmetred data, SETI@home style tools that contribute unused timeslice etc. My understanding of #HoloChain is that this is their goal.

#Nitter.net is to Titter as Invidio.us is to ThemTube. It provides a freely licensed (#AGPL) web app for their backend. You can login to your T account without using their nonfree Javascript, and manage it in ways that are a pain with the JS-free, legacy version of the T web UI.

Watched this video about #Mastodon 3.0 by @geotechland and apparently mastodon now supports moving accounts and taking your followers with you?! That's really a game changer imo.
Also, doing the soundcloud thing for music uploads is pretty cool as well!

Ahead of the December expiration of key elements of the Patriot Act, @eff has teamed up with a number of other organizations to launch http://Reform215.org as a home for demands and actions concerning mass surveillance. https://Reform215.org

NordVPN experienced a security breach when one of their data centers exposed a private key and an outside (unidentified) party retrieved it. The breach happened in March of 2018 and wasn't discovered until a few months ago.

Nord is only now commenting on it because Tech Crunch found the white hat hacker report detailing the breach and called them out on it. https://techcrunch.com/2019/10/21/nordvpn-confirms-it-was-hacked/

This isn't Nord's only issue. Cancel your subscription and switch to someone else.

anarcho-primitivism sounds nice until you realize it's basically saying that anybody who couldn't have survived before modern medicine and specialization(the vast majority of people) deserves to die.

It's just more extreme anarcho-capitalism.

That kids have got to take time out of their childhoods to explain climate science to us should be a matter of profound shame

Would you replace your existing internet provider with a community-based ISP, assuming that you'd (at the very least) keep the same speed? If so/not, why?

"today’s widespread obsession with smart contracts, platform capitalism and economies of scale... only serve to reinforce last century’s dominant and extractive modes of production. Instead, dive into this report and discover the possibilities of Ostrom contracts, platform cooperativism and economies of scope... the seeds of a generative commons-based economy that is fit for the 21st century’s social and ecological challenges."

Some Chromebooks mistakenly declared themselves end-of-life last week

When your Chromebook or Chromebox approaches its built-in expiration date, it will warn you that it's time to go buy a new device entirely. Not long after that, it will refuse to apply any further security or feature updates. In addition to leaving users vulnerable to unpatched security exploits, this means that constantly evolving services such as Gmail will eventually stop working entirely.
