Some of the coolest decentralization projects ever *EYELIDS WIDEN*
Deciding between mdadm and mergerfs & snapraid for my new home server.
I decided to go the mdadm route. I bought NAS HDDs so there should be no problem having them running 24/7 for years.
CVE-2018-1111
"A malicious DHCP server, or an attacker on the local network able to spoof DHCP responses, could use this flaw to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on systems using NetworkManager which is configured to obtain network configuration using the DHCP protocol."
Cost of a good home theater projector in the US: $1500, same model in Europe 2500€ (almost $3000). How is this possible?
We really need a #FollowFriday meme on Mastodon. Here I go:

“Three easy rules that keep ‘smart people from spreading dumb ideas’: don't share #news that doesn't have substantiating links, be wary of stories that perfectly confirm your pre-existing #biases, and (for god's sake!) always ask yourself why you're talking in the first place.”

I forgot to link to the Github issue: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/7598
Signal has just closed around 1100 issues in a "spring cleaning" sweep. I must say that I'm disappointed that as popular as Signal is it cannot improve its UX to acceptable levels (sharing or storing multiple photos at a time, for example, or reencoding videos to lower resolutions).
If you aren’t using HTTPS Everywhere to protect your browsing, this is a great time to start: our new update changes how we deliver rulesets of HTTPS-supporting sites, ensuring you’ll see even more secure pages when they’re available.

I guess one thing I'm curious about is what arguments would be valid in making a case for #decentralization?
The ones I can think of are virtues of self-sufficency, resistance to censorship, agency for data ownership, ad-hoc communication between many peers, connecting together many spaces on the web, controlling who can see certain things that you post, and ability to examine/modify/share the code your data is hosted on.
If anyone has other arguments, I'd love to hear them! 😀
Aaaaaaand it's gone!
Eventually I would like to have my fediverse id in my fidelramos.net domain, but I don't want to set up a full server for that. Any alternatives? Is it possible to just proxy to a different server?
In the process of deleting all my Facebook content using the Social Book Post Manager Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/social-book-post-manager/ljfidlkcmdmmibngdfikhffffdmphjae
Facebook really makes it hard to delete your content, no wonder.
Once it's done it will be account deletion time! #DeleteFacebook
Oh shit, git!

Git is hard: screwing up is easy, and figuring out how to fix your mistakes is fucking impossible. Git documentation has this chicken and egg problem where you can't search for how to get yourself out of a mess, unless you already know the name of the thing you need to know about in order to fix your problem.
So here are some bad situations I've gotten myself into, and how I eventually got myself out of them in plain english*.
I will delete my Facebook account on April 1st, I will make it my first photo for the yearly April 30 pictures photo project. https://www.flickr.com/groups/30pictures/
Holy fuck, #Craigslist just shut down their personals.

I'm trying to move over to Mastodon as much as possible. What accounts in the cryptocurrency space are there?
I already gave my 2 week notice to delete my Facebook account, should have done it sooner. #DeleteFacebook
I'm planning on following https://deletefacebook.com/ I need some time to back up whatever I can.
