Great class last night with our first @privacysafe cohort. What did we cover? First, we did a quick intro into concepts of digital self-defense. Privacy is an ecosystem problem, so we talked about the rise of proximity tracking, and what that may mean after #COVID19

Data retention - the fight continues: By calling for data retention, politicians put our freedom and security at risk. Instead, we need freedom laws.

Refreshingly GOOD (in all dimensions of the word’s meaning)
When a government overreaches, do tech companies have an obligation to fight privacy violations on your behalf?

Oh damn, didn't need to touch #Apache configs for years, now diving into this again and... This is hell.
Somehow #Nginx configs seem so much cleaner, and documentation better.
There are pitfalls, but at least it doesn't seem like I need to spend hours reading the docs to differentiate between mod_ldap, mod_authn_ldap, mod_authz_ldap, mod_authnz_ldap, and using LDAP with AuthBasicProvider.

it's incredibly easy to repackage an app with a malicious payload. Scatterscam alerts you when that has happened and the app is in Google Play. This @exodus post explains how it works: #privacy #security #android https://exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/post/scam/
I see #CancelYale is a thing now. Though it began as a trolling hashtag, we need to be on the right side of history and rename, rebuild. Going further, we need to close the gap between "town and gown". The University can start by paying its dues to New Haven residents during this economic crisis. #TaxYale
