Updating #UbuntuTouch #ubports #linux you don’t have to throw old phones away, they can be repurposed depending on the model. One of these was an #Android phone, now it’s free and running #linux. #reuse #recycle #eco

Please remember that #Git is by nature distributed. So when migrating from (for example) #GitHub to (for example) #GitLab please, please, please do NOT create a brand new repository and git add the files, or the entire commit history will be lost. Instead, just push the existing repository to your new hosting service.

I finally got the chance to play a bit with Svelte web framework, so far so (very) good

Yes: Anything @laura and @aral do at #SmallTech-foundation!

@rudolf @cavaliertusky that kind of stuff is covered elsewhere in our CoC. TL;DR we’re not opposed to these topics as long as they’re behind a CW and the views mentioned aren’t extreme etc. Ultimately we take them on a case by case basis.

@orbjet I’ve used tiddlywiki in the past, that works well.

@orbjet PmWiki, TinyWiki. Off the top of my head. There was a time when I was looking into this loads, but I have mostly forgotten that now.

My Favorite Internet Privacy Resources

1. privacytools.io
(the best privacy services recommendation site)
2. prism-break.org
(my first encounter to internet privacy & recommendation resources, thanks to Trisquel Forum)
3. pack.resetthenet.org
(friendly & eye-catching list of privacy oriented software for all platforms)
4. restoreprivacy.com
(by sven, independent review of VPN services & list of Google alternatives)
5. directory.fsf.org/wiki/Collection:Privacy_pack

If you use Fennec/Firefox on Android, you should consider the First Party Isolation addon. All it does is to eneable or disable the first party isolation. In Android there is no switch, so you else need to fiddle around in about:config.
This protects against cross site tracking, but your logins still work.

Well, it's official, #Slackware will have PAM in the base system in its next version.

Patrick Volkerding's reasons for integrating PAM into Slackware are interesting and well worth a read:

I thought his shout out to different people were also nice. Volkerding has always come across as a nice and respectful person, unlike a lot of others BDFL.

#slackware linux just landed PAM in /testing!

I work in IT which is the reason this house has:

- mechanical windows
- mechanical door locks
- no Alexa/HomeKit/Google
- no Internet connected thermostats, lamps, or whatnots
- a dumb TV
- wall switches for lights

@orbjet I like the #commandlineheroes series.

@orbjet I enjoy the Ask Noah Show and Destination Linux.

> Any good tech podcasts to recommend?

I like the Jupiter broadcasting shows (Linux Unplugged, etc.) And the #ubuntuPodcast is good fun too.

But I'd be interested in branching out.
