I'm currently compiling a bunch of info & guides for setting up your digital life to be secure, private, encrypted, decentralised, and unsurveillable and uncensorable.
Including:
VPN
DNS
Firewall
Antivirus
Encrypted cloud storage
Encrypted messaging
Decentralised social media
Decentralised messaging
Encrypted email
Blocking telemetry
This is especially important for those of you who live in authoritarian countries.

if you keep refollowing me in an attempt to get me to follow you back, i will mute you. (this probably only applies to generic faceless accounts so don't worry if you're a human account, i'll follow you if you are interesting for me & my path)
something that keeps returning to mind
self sovereignty versus large scale majix
we ARE being used in occult major arcana
used by the rulers in alchemica megalo
to achieve their societal manipulation
twisting us into polarity inside their economy artifice
so the thought is:
too many of us are totally unaware
thus we cannot align our power to escape
if another actor manipulates us without our knowledge or consent
with potentially good purpose
to combat the rulers
is that... ok?
______________
we are SO incongruent that I just don't see how enough of us can EVER become aligned to overthrow the Rulers
but if someone were to intervene, through large-scale alchemical manipulation
then perhaps we'd unknowingly reach critical mass
i suppose this is comparable to the inherent issues of democracy:
a) people often want what's best for themselves & don't think of others
b) people often don't know what they themselves actually need
c) people are uneducated & unaware of politics so vote poorly
_______________
i think this might also be something we NEED to think about, sooner rather than later
democracy is CLEARLY collapsing
the current society and hierarchy are collapsing
the economy (as we know it) is collapsing
and the ecosystem is also collapsing
someone and something IS going to rise to fill the power vacuum
perhaps we should be thinking about which form of manipulation we would allow and benefit from
something is going to manipulate us
may as well be aware and allow the right one in.
What would be awesome is if govt legislation and restrictions were irrelevant, and that companies and corporations simply behaved well because it is right, treated the environment well because it is right, treated employees well because it is right
Imagine that

smokers really arrive somewhere, sit down next to a stranger and start breathing smoke into their airspace

so I was looking for zeronet last week and that's what led me to nostr, via someone's recommendation on reddit
and yesterday I realised that — at least on the surface — nostr appears to operate fairly similarly to zeronet, it just doesn't need a local web-server-like aspect
can any nostr developers confirm this?
of course, I could go learn about it, and at some point I probably will cos I am due to get my teeth into programming pretty soon so I might start with a nostr-related project
oh hi I'll get back to all y'all's replies soon! things going on like moving house and other personal issues, brb, afk, ttyl
fun fact:
you can take full ownership of windowsapps folders and delete any apps that keep running in the background using up your ram and network
beware: this increases risks with viruses etc so be super careful to not install anything using administrator privileges unless you really trust it
i've deleted:
clipchamp
feedback hub
outlook
idk, some other things that kept running
my computer is MY computer, thanks very much microsoft
Just been fighting a virus/malware situation on my computer.
I went to post some comments on VirusTotal but my long comment explaining how to handle it was rejected, maybe it was too long.
I've posted it on my gitbook website.
(Yeah I know I know, it's regular server-based internet)

ok I'm looking for some software that automatically force-expires all session tokens for all logged-in accounts on my computer.
Malicious cracked software that steals session tokens is becoming increasingly common.
Does this exist? Can it be programmed? Can a session token be identified as active or expired?
((Yes, I do steal Adobe's and others' software. No, most creative workers around the world cannot afford their ridiculous licensing fees.))
How do I connect my existing Nostr ID to my Alby account?
It seems that it just creates a new Nostr ID and I can't find any way to add this Nostr ID to it.
Seems somewhat useless if that's the case...
I have a degree in biological sciences, with a focus on ecosystem science and genetics.
I'm here for us to discuss real ways of rebuilding the world regarding our dependence on electricity, sources of energy generation, our dependence on plastic, alternatives to plastics (for reducing plastic waste and also reducing oil requirements), and stuff like that.
environmentalism, ecosystem defence & protection, integration with nature, stuff like this.
I'm aware that the reality of this goes directly against the oil companies and most governments.
I want to find, connect with, and create a group (or groups), for focussed development of solutions for our climate problem.
We will do research projects like: data research; meta reviews (reviewing & comparing other research articles); primary research; multi-region research.
We will do other projects like: data analysis; data visualisation (thinking about tools like Microsoft Fabric, and maybe animation like Blender/etc).
We'll also have a focus on how to gather more people, how to train people to be scientific in mentality and approach, how to create articles and media that attracts people and educates people regarding sustainable practices and sustainable alterations to the fabric of our current civilisation.
We need to replace things like fossil fuels and plastic, and we need to stop destroying all the natural habitats and forests.
Yo hi! I usually post things about linguistics, science, biology, environmental science, health, and recently, some stuff on numbers. I'm an advocate for freedom of communication, but I've been busy with other things and have only just discovered Nostr.
I'm a bunch of things but I mainly focus on environmental science, training people into becoming scientists, and an array of aspects about communication. A strong future for humanity and life depends on good community and good communication. I accidentally became a linguist, and I've made a few alphabets, my latest one is called NewEng and it does a good job of encapsulating both English pronunciation & its accents, and English etymology.
I'm looking forward to connecting with other likeminded folk on here. It already feels great to be able to post here in the knowledge that this data is not inside Meta (etc) and cannot be controlled, suppressed or banned by them.
Just finding out about the whole nostr etc networks now. Been looking for this kind of thing for a while but not many things had much traction... Now may be a better time because of the recent tiktok events in the USA, people are realising what's up and are looking for alternatives. Imagine if we get a sizeable majority using decentralised, uncensorable social networking.
