Just gave a talk on the project I've been working for six months: Start Your Own Internet Resiliency Club
Short version: collect a group of networking experts in the same city, buy them all LoRa radios and power banks, install Meshtastic, and pick a channel to communicate on. If you lose all power and communications, you can communicate over LoRa to bootstrap the recovery of the real internet

"So, when we first hear about the Insurrection Act, it may trigger our alarmism. But better to face it now, before it comes, than learn about it on-the-fly."

Signal provides:
- Excellent protection against third party interception of communications (wiretapping).
- Limited protection against compromised (hacked) or lost devices
- No protection against certain common usage mistakes (accidentally including a reporter in your large group war planning chat).

You haven't been following the downfall of Twitter, have you ?

If you work in government and are asked to remove content from websites (as a result of executive orders), please use the HTTP status code 451 instead of 404.
451 is the correct status code to use for these cases, and you'll be doing the rest of the country a service by using it.
Addendum: you should also include a Link header with the link relation "blocked-by" that "Identifies the entity that blocks access to a resource following receipt of a legal demand."

Starting to get the itch to re-do my server, as this is the year Ubuntu 20.04 LTS loses support. Was thinking TrueNAS but wanted a little more freedom with lower ports. Now thinking about using #ZFSBootMenu on Alpine as a host for converting most everything to #docker :
docs.zfsbootmenu.org/en/v3.0.x…
Then make a few zpools for different benefits for my nextcloud docks and the other services I use...
Now not to get tempted with getting a refurb DL580 G9. 😅

Anyway, if you also want to be cool and help in archiving the US government, head on over to the Archive Team wiki at:
You'll need the technical ability to be able to install VirtualBox or Docker and run an appliance/container.
You can also help archive other things, not just the US gov. There's a lot of the web that's at risk.
On the little server I have running here at home, I'm now helping @internetarchive back up US Government websites and data.
You can help, too:
1. Download and run the ArchiveTeam Warrior
2. Set the selected project to "usgovernment" (or select US Government from the available projects in the web interface)
I'm running Warrior as a container with podman, but there are various other ways to run it.
More details at wiki.archiveteam.org/

docker-compose up -d, and allowed the appropriate ports on the yaml file through ufw. Looks like it's scanning NIH now. 😎 Probably the easiest deployment I've ever run!
The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
NOAA had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

Thought I'd write an #introduction for all those #newhere from the Musk exodus:
I'm an analytical chemist. I've hosted my own #Friendica node (instance) at my home since 2018, shortly after the Cambridge Analytica scandal. From there, I got bit by the #selfhosting bug and am now hosting my own #opensource replacements for many FAANG services.
Welcome all to the #fediverse ! If you are thinking about self-hosting and have questions, would be happy to help as able!
