I am of two minds on this. Yes it would be preferred for the government to not be involved. But prior to the existence of UTOPIA, cable and telecom companies were awful and also working with the government themselves. UTOPIA is an open access model that is semi competitive. #utah #utopia #FiberOptics

Just the other day I was thinking of self hosting family photos with ownCloud. Not so fast. My family members have been complaining about running out of cloud storage and talking about paying for proprietary Big Tech subscriptions. So I was kinda shopping around for them. Any suggestions?

I am still here, but due to a family tragedy last month I will not be as active as I have been. Expect sporadic appearances.

Halloween was so fun in Shibuya. This is sad to hear. After the Seoul Halloween crowd crush in 2022 it is an understandable precaution. If only Halloween celebrations spread out to multiple Tokyo cities, then there would be less crowding and much safer.

Shibuya City cracks down on Halloween 2023 with massive “Stay Away!” campaign

The vibe around Shibuya is tense right now, as the city attempts to abolish "the craziest Halloween in the world".

--EDIT-- I have removed how easy it is to break YT's ToS. Gold Star if you saw them. --EDIT-- ******* is still blocking YouTube ads. YT is as of yet not blocking *******. Also... there is *******, *******, *******, *******, etc. View quoted note →

I will leave YouTube before I remove ad blocker. Case in point, I am already on Odysee. Only support Content Creators as long as they adopt Odysee, Rumble, PeerTube, etc. Want to be monetized by me on YT?? Join Brave Creators and earn some $BAT and/or create a paid community on Locals, SubscribeStar, BackedBy, etc. Join Nostr and maybe I will zap some $SATS at you. There are plenty of alternative options. YT needs to be relegated to the dustbins of history.

Ubuntu was my 3rd Linux Distribution. For me it all began in 2002 with Linspire>Freespire>Ubuntu. In 2007 Freespire began being based on Ubuntu. Linspire had some short lived partnership with Canonical and in exchange tried to distribute CNR on Ubuntu and other Distros. When Xandros acquired Linspire and Freespire in 2008, I switched to Ubuntu since it was familiar. That kept me interested a few years. View quoted note →

Minds is now connected to the Fediverse with ActivityPub 🤘 But what exactly does that mean, and why does it matter? Catch up with this quick video intro. https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1561483565290491907?referrer=mozychan

noStrudel might be my favorite #nostr web client. Speaking of... will any of the @minds@minds.com Nostr Relays ever be online again? They've been down at least a month.

is lies.

It is only a $1 annual subscription. That may help some, but it is not a great idea for anonymity. Could X not instead verify human with web3 and sign gas free transactions. For example, EtherMail enables anyone who has made any $ETH activity to send free web3 email. Is that not a better solution for X? View quoted note →

Unfortunately the Minds Relay has been down for about a month. And the only Nostr client (Coracle) that I knew supported NIP-26, stopped working with it a few months ago after an update. Of the very limited GitLab dev comments read, I surmise that Minds has possibly decided to rework the implementation to reduce engine load and avoid duplicate storage. As an aside, Minds recently Federated on ActivityPub and is probably working towards getting that functional. Being that, I have decided to crosspost here directly for the time being and see how it goes. View quoted note →

Step 1: add Minds Nostr relay node wss://relay.minds.com/nostr/v1/ws Step 2: Follow me at @npub1mcd2...u0dz This NIP-26 delegated event signing by Minds may or may not work. Two likely reasons for this to not work are the Nostr client is not supported or the relay is down.
