Fed up with https://pleroma.mastodon.host not working again. I'll need to find another instance...
X Files, oh boy...
So... https://mastodon.host is down again.
https://mastodon.host is down together with its sibling https://pleroma.mastodon.host.
Is there a big thread of DIY resources for newbies anywhere in the fediverse already? Making clothes, art, doing repairs, repurposing old stuff, etc. I want to start putting my own knowledge into an open format like on Wikibooks or something.
Yesterday, Slovakia’s National Crime Agency seized a mobile phone belonging to @OCCRP 's partner, investigative reporter Pavla Holcova.
Slovak police invited Pavla for an interview for what we believed was a friendly meeting to aid the investigation into the murder of Jan Kuciak.
Instead, Pavla was interrogated for over eight hours. (...) Police made comments during the interrogation suggesting the Holcova’s professional history was “always against the system.”
I've just replaced Firefox with Fennec on my phone. Thank you, @fdroidorg!
So, @OCCRP just published a feature about #encryption:

"In a 2017 cyber attack, intruders were able to access the mailboxes of some people collaborating with the OCCRP for a short time. But whoever the intruders were, they could only see scrambled letters and numbers. The sensitive communication was encrypted.
The encryption may have saved the lives of whistleblowers, journalists, and their sources."

At a corporation near you....
"Due to some excellent work by an international team we can now say, that we _must_ turn off html mail and inline graphics - go to pure text as we've been recommending for years"
"But dancing reindeer Christmas cards, corporate logos and newsletters that don't look like they fell through a time warp from 1995!"
"I'm sorry..."
*places fatherly hand on shoulder of Head of Communications, whilst squeezing out a tear*
"They're gone!"
I wanted to figure out the etymology of the term “shell” in computing and I found a profile of the person instrumental in creating the protocols the modern #Internet still runs on today—in addition to coining “shell” https://www.economist.com/news/technology-quarterly/21590765-louis-pouzin-helped-create-internet-now-he-campaigning-ensure-its #History

This crappy email from S.O. starts with quite strong assumptions.
Riding my raid bike Saturday at noon, feeling great. 😊
I'm listening to "Rank" album by The Smiths, thinking how interesting it is that the only song without any words seems (at least to me) to be the most expressive.
"The Draize Train" is so full of emotions, last time I was listening to it I had tears in my eyes. There's been only one other song to touch me that deep (though I remember that moment to this day).
The #InternetOfShit has expanded to require smartlocks & a required app to use the bathroom.😒
