I am not a web designer. I was, at one point, a pretty good web admin. I know mostly server back end stuff from before things like NodeJS took off. I know some PHP and CSS and I am very comfortable with a WHM Cpanel server.

I say all of this to say, when I make websites I use templates. (Usually free, some paid) and I have recently started going to all of the sites I own and manage and working to ensure they don't have google fonts. This is just another way google is tracking who is doing what when they have no business doing so.

so I implore you web people of the world, DITCH THE GOOGLE FONTS!

So I love teaching....and I know CyberSec....what it don't know is social media.

What I need right now is a way to video capture on fedora that will follow my mouse for vertical video?

Reddit is only letting me browse for about 2 min before locking the page with a 'downlaod the app' banner....looks like i am quittibg reddit

So I think the biggest problem I have is I am looking for two products in one.

1. Secure/private cloud storage. Encrypted at rest but with a good sync option. https://tresorit.com/

2. A collaboration tool that will allow users with free/no account to collab on docs in a web based editor like https://cryptpad.fr/

Looking for something that does this well at the same time. bonus points for good open standards support so its easy to sync/import/backup myself

I have been using #cheerlights for literally years! I felt like they died with Twitter. (Twitter is dead to me). I am glad so see them alive and well thanks to @CheerLights@mastodon.art.

If you don't know what they are I am happy to help you get you started! just leave a comment below.

Also the bruins just won so make them yellow!

So about a week ago, I blocked youtube and reddit at my router. Social media algorithms have been a cancer on my mental health. I start watching a video on woodworking or 3D printing and end up somewhere where each video leaves me angrier and angrier.

It was strange to realize this as an addiction. But cutting it out has improved my mood and I have been getting more projects done around the house.

All of this by blocking social media sites I only use in browser when not logged in!

OK so someone talk me down here.. Can I build a custom live distro with just the apps I use and use something like a self hosted sh file that I can pipe to shell to setup my customization and download dotfiles and have a ephemeral OS that I can be at "home" with any x64 PC with an internet connection? How feasible is this? anyone doing somehting similar. I mean I web browse, email and write some code..

@sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz my family still uses Amazon. With smaller children and lots of needs the quick shipping is easy. If it wasn't them it would be someone else and it would be the same thing...

So the FBI can log in and change setting ob privately owned devices because they are a threat to the country. However if any security research group did this it would be a violation of the computer fraud and abuse act. I feel like this is an huge overreach, even if its for the better. How about notify ISP and have them notify customers?

Fediverse got me out here defending #proton mail.

Just a general reminder, PGP/GPG protects the inside of the email, it does not protect the following:

- Who you sent it to
- the address you used to send it
- The Subject of the message
- The IPs you used to connect to mail severs
- the name and payment information you used when you signed up for the provier

It takes a lot of work and privacy is a sliding scale

RE: @elfin@mstdn.social

This is fuckng fantastic!

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social because paint s always loaded in the background...so it can be there as soon as you need it.

So #privacy people...I currently use pCloud with EU servers for my cloud storage/backup. The price is right, I don't have to worry with it too much (though their WebDAV support is terrible)

I pay for space and the 1year modification retention.

Is there something else I should be looking at for this? Is their something they do/don't do? How do they rate on the privacy scale?

If you have a product that is licensed by some form of consumable(user count, device count, domains) and you have an API. Please let me pull number of licenses I have, how many are used and when my term expires via that damn API...one call preferably!

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social please end the simulation and let me out of this timeline
