Hey fediverse, I've recently created a privacy recommendations site (see previous posts) and since I want it to be community based, I need a place to discuss what should be recommended.

Something like a forum, but self-hosting a forum requires a lot of spam moderation and that's something I'd like to avoid.

There's also Lemmy (a federated and libre Reddit alternative) but it's JS heavy. I'm considering the possibility of a mailing list.

I want to hear your opinions, boosts appreciated

Trying tut, a TUI client for Mastodon. I really love how it works. It's much better than opening a modern browser just for browsing my timeline. And writing my posts in vi make me feel just at home.

Probably the best TUI client for Mastodon, since I've only found other one written in Python. I avoid as much as possible Python programs because they're awfully slow and they pull a ton of dependencies. Anyway, if you have recommendations for any other TUI client for Mastodon, just let me know.

If forgot to add the link to their announcement:
https://signal.org/blog/keeping-spam-off-signal/

Signal is making a part of their server source code proprietary software:

"To keep Signal a free global communication service without spam, we must depart from our totally-open posture and develop one piece of the server in private".

Taking into account it's centralized nature and that they don't allow third party clients, Signal seems to be just as bad as other "privacy" oriented companies.

Leave Signal and join a truly private, decentralized and libre protocol like #XMPP

@noticias @pybonacci es un buscador que indexa solo páginas que no usen JS (o usen lo justo y necesario) y normalmente páginas no comerciales. Se enfoca en páginas personales sobretodo.

Y si, el buscador aún tiene mucho que mejorar, no es nada preciso. Pero solo muestra páginas personales y sin rastreadores en su gran mayoría

@pybonacci parece que hablas de wiby.me

@admin bueno yo prefiero tener downtime a las 4 de la mañana que en horas del día donde tendrías mucho más tráfico

@admin lo del móvil lo veo más bien como una curiosidad, instalar debian sobre android para un servidor lo veo ineficiente. Una raspberry pi zero te cuesta 5€ y no consume nada. Para un sitio estático da de sobra.

Por lo demás parece un servicio interesante para todo aquel que no pueda abrir puertos ya sea por la cgnat o porque no tienen los conocimientos. Es más seguro hacerlo por ssh. Aunque más que una VPN parece una proxy

@maestrodenada @admin yo recomiendo https://iredmail.org/ ya que se encarga de configurar casi todo por ti. Otra opción parecida sería mailcow, pero no lo he probado así que no puedo recomendarlo con seguridad

Great news, uBlock Origin have added Adguard URL tracking filter to it's stock lists.

I've been testing it and it works as expected. So everyone that has both uBlock Origin and ClearURLs installed can now remove ClearURLs and enable this list in UBO.

AdGuard URL Tracking Protection uses the relatively new removeparam modifier filters to automatically remove the tracking crap at the end of URLs before you connect

@admin a mí me gustaría intentarlo, pero soy un poco paranoico con la privacidad y he pensado en hacerlos modulando la voz, pero tengo que darle vueltas. Podría usar una voz artificial tipo loquendo, pero queda bastante cutre.

I've finished a blog post about Brave's false privacy. I give you arguments that will prevent yourself from falling for Brave’s marketing lies.

Why GNU/Linux journalism (and free software journalism in general) sucks?

It seems that pretty much every medium-big blog/news portal about GNU/Linux doesn't give a shit about content quality. I've found a ton of misleading tutorials and misinformation. Most of them are full of advertisement and analytics. And they link to proprietary social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc). They only care about monetization.

The only good content about GNU/Linux are personal blogs truly written by users.

I've added a few 88x31 banners to my blog and I was thinking about joining or creating a webring.

It'd a fun way to promote a people-first web, instead of this crappy corporation web that we have today.

@admin yo no soy partidario de censurar nada, ni siquiera a GAFAM.

Aunque claro, si ofreces un servicio para escaparles y lo usan para redirigir a GAFAM pues parece un sinsentido

@admin bueno lo tengo desactivado así que no es un inconveniente en absoluto. Por no hablar de que Chromium quitó el soporte FTP hace bastante tiempo

@demoakracia @admin @qorg11 deberían pedir una licencia para usar internet, igual que la piden para conducir. No digo que restrinjan el acceso a internet, defiendo toda libertad. Pero deberían exigir cierto nivel de educación sobre el tema para que la gente use sus dispositivos de manera segura
