Roe v Wade implications for privacy online
With the overturning of Roe v Wade, this org. called "Digital Defense Fund" made this bulletin specifically for women looking for information about abortion online, as their browser history, text messages etc. may now be used as evidence against them... (by the way WTF...)
Apps and services that are mentioned are Tor, Firefox, DuckDuckGo, no logs VPN, and E2E messengers including Matrix (!)

opinion piece on the privacy issues raised by Apple's policy shift (landslide....) pushing user side content screening (yikes)

I got the AstraZeneca shot today! I feel a little bit of the vaccination reaction coming on, but not too bad. I am glad I got it. There is a little bit of a hysteria developing around this particular brand of vaccine in Germany. I think it's important that people look at getting vaccinated as a community project, and not as a race for a resource, where you have to make sure you get the shot with the biggest possible advantage for yourself (arguably Pfizer or Moderna).
Managed to install MSOffice on Ubuntu using Winapps! Performance is really good, almost seamless. Also had to convert my Linux partition to LVM to be able to extend the root partition and make space for the Windows VM (should have setup LVM in the first place). Was quite a task. If this setup works, I will seriously consider getting rid of my Windows partition for good.

Hello #nextcloud, goodbye #owncloud - now running up-to-date version of Nextcloud!
The move from Owncloud V 10.5 was a real pain in the bum... 😃
Shout out to all the people encouraging me to make the switch
#speedtest I made some scripts for Ubuntu Server to regularly run internet speed tests and send a graphical report once a week to the sysadmin by email. To see if I am getting what I am paying my ISP for :-) The download speeds are relatively constant, but the uploads almost always fall short of the 50 Mbps
Anyone else here a fan of #tapedrive ? For me it's by far the cheapest way to store just about anything... I can still find new LTO-3 tapes (400-800 GB) on ebay for under 10 EUR and I only payed 50 EUR for this old HP drive :-) I wrote a few scripts to do regular automated backups of our server that are also logged and reported in emails
#mycroftai now Mycroft has a tiny screen! Still need to build him a casing. And I am working on getting him to send reminders etc as a Telegram push so he could be a real digital assistant...
Thai cats, Ubuntu, hiking, Mozart, OwnCloud -> Nextcloud :-), a little bit of politics, a rescue dog, pediatrics, prosody.im, independent journalism, LineageOS, T cells, KingsofLeon, EdwardSnowden
