I've been quite busy latelly, but today I am at #opencamp in #Bratislava where I'll have a talk about #Turris - #secure #opensource #router
Did you know that #GNU/ #FSF has its own #darknet application and protocol stack?
What is #GNUnet?https://www.gnunet.org/en/index.html
GNUnet is an #alternative #network stack for building #secure, #decentralized and #privacy-preserving #distributed applications. Our goal is to replace the old insecure Internet protocol stack. Starting from an application for secure #publication of #files, it has grown to include all kinds of basic protocol components and applications towards the creation of a GNU internet.
Today, the actual use and thus the social requirements for a global network differs widely from those goals of 1970. While the Internet remains suitable for military use, where the network equipment is operated by a command hierarchy and when necessary isolated from the rest of the world, the situation is less tenable for civil society.
Due to fundamental Internet design choices, Internet traffic can be misdirected, intercepted, censored and manipulated by hostile routers on the network. And indeed, the modern Internet has evolved exactly to the point where, as Matthew Green put it, "the network is hostile".
We believe liberal societies need a #network #architecture that uses the #anti-authoritarian #decentralized #peer-to-peer paradigm and #privacy-preserving #cryptographic #protocols. The goal of the GNUnet project is to provide a Free Software realization of this ideal.

Granted, @tails_live @tails / #Tails and @torproject / #TorBrowser are propably one of the best & most battle-tested options that are useable for #TechIlliterates...
THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
If not for being absurd then for the fact that people need to get things done!
So you can imagine how glad I was when @thunderbird merged #Enigmail into #Thunderbird so there's no more fiddling around getting #PGP/MIME to work!
VictoriaMetrics Enterprise our reliable, #secure, and #cost-efficient solution to help solve your organization’s #monitoring and #observability set-ups — even the most complex ones. This is for organizations with mission-critical, large, or rapidly scaling monitoring environments.
Want to learn more about #VictoriaMetrics Enterprise? Let's connect at #KubeCon Europe, happening April 1-4 in #London, at booth #N503 .
@bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen That's exactly the problem, cuz #KaiOS nee #FirefoxOS was a good and solid basis not just for #LowEnd-Devices but could've been excellent for a more #secure mobile OS, as it has good potential for #sandboxing and #KISS-principle'd #Apps that are lean and efficient.
But then again when enthusiasts like @fuchsiii and I were shouting "#ShutUpAndTakeMyMoney!" to #Mozilla, they basically refused to sell any #device, and then we get the "#PSvita-Effect":

Giving #Tutamail a try. I currently have a Proton Pro account, and I really like them, just thinking about the 'all your eggs in one basket' argument. By the way, 'tutanota' is derived from Latin meaning, 'secure message'.
OK y'all, keep it breezy and lock your shit down. Later.

Great news for those looking to securely store your #photos online, and keep other apps from prying (Google!), I highly recommend Ente. The founder and lead Dev is a former Google employee and committed to P R I V A C Y.
https://ente.io is cross platform, under rigorous development, Open Source, E2EE, and you can use it for free with 10GB of storage (up from 5GB previously).
** They just announced their first major version update today (Ente v1.0). **
Easily import your Google Photos and Instagram pics too.
And... if you need more storage, use MY referral code below. If you are on a paid plan, we each get an extra 10GB of FREE storage.
My paid plan of 50GB is only $2.99/mo.
⟶ Ente referral code: ** RVCAPI **
⟶ Apply it in Settings → General → Referrals, to get additional 10 GB free, after you signup for a paid plan.
#porkbun has #email with @protonprivacy, really affordably. So I switched my business mail to that, and I have it all setup in #emacs! :D @daviwil is a goddamned treasure. I would not be able to setup my workflow this well without Systems Crafters! I'm happy! I feel so #secure and #cozy, and I can do #gpg for a little extra. Just don't let crazy Christians on my e-mail chains. I don't want to pull a Hegseth.

@teriradichel I also refuse to take on unfixable mess as in literally impossible demands (i.e. making #Windows #secure, which is an oxymoron like #Privacy on #Facebook and Human Rights in the "D.P.R." [North-]Korea...
