"Inspired by Wikileaks, I imagined in Another Now a group of rebels writing and uploading digital viruses whose purpose would simply be transparency: to trace and reveal to the world the hidden digital connections between cloudalists, government agencies and bad actors like fossil fuel companies. How and whether this is possible, I do not know, but I am convinced that if by whatever means these institutions knew that they had billions of eyes trained on their actions, they would be paralysed - and the scales fell from those billions of eyes, the coalition would summon further allies and support.

Focused Sunday tinkering with Wireguard and iptables. Split-horizon dns resolution? 🤔

I found this Wikipedia article open on my browser's inactive tabs and I had to, of course, go back and read most of it.

#Coingecko doesn't seem to like my using a VPN... 🤔

I was thinking about how money incentives influence channel owners as they reach a certain number of followers and have to stay competitive. Maybe cut down on watching those channels, instead find smaller ones and contribute to (#v4v) regularly? Obviously the algos won't easily suggest these.. 🤔

Panem et circenses 😴

Today I finished a predictably rude and unproductive convo with a GenZ by sending him "back to Tiktok". Everybody please remember to bring your (good) manners wherever you go.

Excited about the Assange documentary tonight.

Chatting with other Munks at @CYPHERMUNK HOUSE | LONDON about future subjects to talk about. What would you like to hear about? Presentation subjects, also level (beginner, intermediate, expert, ninja)? It doesn't have to be a single subject or something you have to present, but maybe something you'd like to hear about or have questions. #talks #community #suggestASubject

When you walk into a cafe, and the batista prepare your order before you opened your mouth, that's predictability... 😆 #Coffee #rituals

Phishing emails received on the email address I use for coingecko... 😡

Watching Shrek (#sorryNotSorry)

I had a great time last evening with other Munks at @CYPHERMUNK HOUSE | LONDON and also managed (judging by feedback) to distill some fundamentals about the so-called information super-highways. The #Internet has come so far in 50+ years. We must defend its openness and have governments restore net neutrality where lacking.

GM. This weekend I played with LibreOffice's presentation editor and I am pleasantly surprised. 👌 #FOSS

Watching Armaggeddon on a Sunday eve after dinner as you would.

Sort of disappointed that Gabriel is not active on Nostr. #privacy #watchmanPrivacy View quoted note →
