Source? And fyi, if you use Signal you are generating your own encryption keys. Your private keys are generated on your phone and stay on it. So what gives you the idea that

the US government has all the keys

?? Sounds a lot like a conspiracy theory

Ah nice, I didn’t know that was possible

Which one? There’s three in my post. And I do use an ad blocking DNS, but this can’t block message-like ads from Telegram. Otherwise it would have to somehow read the encrypted message content…

I know! But I don’t really have a choice currently; which app would you suggest for tickers / info channels? Mastodon would be an option, but it’s not quite the same. Abd I’d first have to convince everyone to use it :/

I use telegram mainly for info channels and tickers. To my knowledge that’s not possible in Signal, because you can’t restrict participants to be read-only (right?)

Can you give a source on the Hetzner claim? I’m curious and didn’t find anything online

This is quite centered around hetero dudes, which I find sad.

FlorisBoard (at least the beta) is getting there (swiped on FlorisBoard), though it’s not quite there yet

Lol

Can’t relate. It’s not harder to get your hands on a matrix account in comparison to a mail account. And for those that want it even easier, just download Element and you are guided through the default registration at matrix.org

Why not use VIM though?

Nah, I like my VIM keys

Well it seems they don’t publish a signing key, so that’s a good reason against it.

I’ve been using metager for some while and really like it. They’re also part of an initiative pushing for a free as in freedom search index, so that’s nice

In my understanding a problem often is that electricity isn’t used when renewable electricity sources can provide it. One solution to this is storing it, another (complementary) one is to adjust the usage to times when there is a lot of renewable energy available. This especially makes sense for big consumers (like factories), but a lot of washing machines also sum up to a lot of electricity demand. So we have to adjust to mainly use electricity when it’s available via renewable sources, and this thing can hopefully help with that.

By saying that it cost around 5€ I meant that the material to build this cost me around 5€. I would happily set them up for free if one gave me the material for free, but the microcontroller and so on do cost some money.

The API and (of course) the source code are free (as in freedom, being AGPL licensed). And since I did my best to document it well and provide easy to follow instructions in the README, I do think I managed to make it free as in freedom.

Or just use Molly

Just use librewolf or any other installation method

That looks perfect, thanks!

Ah I should have added I’m looking for an android app
