I love OSMAND~ ... is that ironic?

I'm sure there are others, but I have not bothered looknig for 'em because I like that one :)
Maybe it's a taste that must be acquired ... 🤔

Holy Crap
Ethical Coop [ http://www.ethical.org.za ]
uses #OpenStreetMap on their contact info page
How refreshing!

Almost - starts renewing my faith in #SouthAfrica with regards to #FreeSoftware and #Decentralization

@thegibson they're involved in all the vaccination efforts in #Africa, but that does not mean they will be directly mentioned in every article

@thegibson please don't stop at just one link provided by just one guy.
Please remember that all (so-called) "scientific data" is skewed to serve the interests of financially invested parties.
Take the time to watch this whole thing:

@thegibson
the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation is responsible for over half-a-million forced sterilizations in #Africa.
Is this ok as well?

(pro-tip: using the polio vaccine on a population known to have HIV issues, actually aggravates the HIV issue - it's right there on the label of the polio vaccine packaging!)

how about a "Add to List -> [choose lists]" option on the #Toot "more" menu thingy ... ?

@elomatreb *with GnuPG / Pretty Good Privacy implementation
?

(for clarity) If I set my router to use the dns that is provided by the ISP - DNS and web browsing works just great. So I *know* the problem is only when I configure one of these others.
...
Anyway, using my own dns server is doing great so far ...

#selfhost #rollyourown #rollurown #diy #netneutrality #internet #dns

So I actually just setup my own (very basic caching/forwarding) dns server. and configured the PiHole to use that.
Fuck these ISP's.
Holy shit - I still find it hard to believe .... if I set dns.watch, quad9 or even frkn OpenDNS as the dns resolver in my network - nothing works.
It's crazy.

I am convinced my ISP is blocking dns.watch ... I can view the site, but I can't use it for DNS in any configuration (at the router, at the pc manually, in my pi-hole .... )

Does it sound tinfoilhat-ish?

I like some web things to be desktop apps with tray icons, because in my browsers I'm always opening, closing and shifting tabs around, so I like some things to hide away there in the tray until I need them.
The only Gnu/Linux desktop client for #Mastodon is #MSTDN - https://github.com/rhysd/Mstdn

It's one flaw is that the tray icon thingy doesn't work properly. It like crashes and closes all the time (but the main window stays open). #IRONIC
Well, that and there have been no updates in almost a year

@uxintro Try that with Stargate SG-1 and the word: "device"

@nextcloud NC as a WebID / OpenID / Auth provider (but without the proprietary components from Gluu)

I want out of this backwards, volatile, inane society.

Everything which is natural seems to be constantly at war with everything that is man-made,
But I think that is probably only because everything which is man-made, is at first violent toward everything which occurs naturally
