It’s pretty wild to me that when I was a kid, most of the lightbulbs in my house were drawing 60W a piece and today I’m running a home server that’s replaces Google Drive, Netflix, Spotify, Audible, Kindle—for multiple users—on around half of that.

I built my own custom social post embed cards for use with Hugo (though they should be easy to port to Astro or 11ty). There’s one for Farcaster, Bluesky, and Mastodon. They can be styled however you want with CSS. On my blog they match the theme colours. They render everything at build so they don’t make api calls on page load, meaning no visitor data should be shared. I spent the last week getting them just right with carousels for multi photo/link posts, lightbox previews, and more. https://thumbsup.me/posts/building-custom-social-post-embed-cards/ https://github.com/thumbsupdotme/social-cards

What's the best strategy for self-hosted git privacy? Like let's say I wanted to switch from github to gitea or forgejo or tangled (but on a self-hosted PDS), how would one go about hiding the IP address/geo-location of the host from those viewing, forking, and making PRs? Sorry if this is obvious? I'm very new to git and only around a year into exploring self-hosting in general.

Nice little video demonstrating the many services you can connect to with your AT Protocol identity. This is only a small subset of the actual services but there’s a lot here. Multiple blogging sites (all of which synchronize with each other), a SoundCloud-like social music app, a git service, a news digest app, a media logging/rating app, and more. https://bsky.app/profile/pckt.blog/post/3mgh4crd7ws2d

Does forgejo/gitea have actions? That’s how I’m building my site currently. For now using GitHub just to familiarize myself with the platform, but I was thinking maybe moving to Codeberg, but that won’t solve my issue of wanting to talk about piracy which directly violates their ToS. So then I thought, maybe the self-hosted options. Was thinking to run them in a virtual machine on my server so that they don’t leak my IP. Any input on this approach or alternatives that could meet my needs are very welcome 🙏

This is effectively my take on 404 Media’s viral headline about Proton. I say headline because the article itself does cover that this is all that happened and quotes Proton’s response that if people pay with crypto they won’t have anything for the govt to subpoena. Nonetheless, everyone has been up in arms. I’ve been a Proton fan for years and this changed nothing for me. Well not nothing, I’ll probably pay in Monero when I renew. https://infosec.exchange/@k3ym0/116180027522716179

hot take: @protonprivacy@mastodon.social didn’t fail you. YOUR OPSEC failed you. encryption ≠ anonymity. these are not the same thing and never have been. Proton did exactly what they said they’d do - encrypted your emails and complied with lawful Swiss legal orders. that’s the whole deal. that’s what you signed up for. the credit card you used to pay for your “anonymous” account was never part of the encryption. that was always traceable. that was always a liability. and here’s the kicker - Proton literally accepts Monero and cash. they gave you the tools. you chose the Visa. #infosec #opsec #privacy #ProtonMail #threatmodeling #monero

Some more things I want to add to the blog: 1. Custom 404 page. 2. A more interesting site preview card. For now it’s just the one you’ve seen with the avatar on the Cattpuccin Machiato background. Will reach out to some illustrators when I’ve got some money to spare.

One thing you will notice about my new blog is that it no longer relies on Zora, coins, or even nfts for patronage. Folks who want to support can simply send tokens. Those who don’t want to or can’t, don’t have to. Nothing will be gatekept. No promises to break. @tipdotmd is integrated because it’s awesome and because I plan to post components GitHub for others to reuse (including these tip buttons) eventually. Wish tip.md supported other options though. I’m trying to leave Base behind too. Beyond that, I’m just doing non-smart blockchains for simplicity.
