I've updated Wi-Fi Reminders to work with Android 8. Oreo is super strict about background jobs, so compromises had to be made. On the bright side, I've added mobile cell polling option! https://f-droid.org/app/ru.glesik.wifireminders

Wait, what. Windows 10 sends info on USB devices plugged in directly to Microsoft?
And it does that using pure HTTP?

You gotta be kidding me.
Reclaiming RSS
“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”
It's #FollowFriday! Here are some #alternatives to follow:
@cloutstream CloutStream: An open source federated alternative to LinkedIn, just launched its new website
@Chocobozzz Chocobozzz: Lead developer of #PeerTube, the ethical alternative to YouTube
@Purism Purism: Makers of privacy-oriented computers and the upcoming Librem5 smartphone
@fdroidorg F-Droid: The open source alternative to Google Play
@krita Krita: Open source painting software aimed at artists and illustrators
#nextcloud was swept up in the attempt of the Russian gov't to censor @Telegram@twitter.com - our IP address was blocked.

https://isitblockedinrussia.com/?host=https%3A%2F%2Fnextcloud.com
We requested unblocking by @roskomnadzor@twitter.com
Happy that gov't censorship is messy. Might not be, some day, so #DECENTRALIZE !
Thanks to this commit LineageOS 15.1 now works properly without Google apps when upgraded from 14.1: https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/LineageOS/android_packages_apps_SetupWizard/+/218025/. Pretty happy with Oreo on my Mido so far.

Where can I buy the whole album?
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Brits.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Brits.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Brits.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Brits.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Brits.
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you
I've made an audio mixer with two inputs using this tutorial: http://www.instructables.com/id/Altoids-Tin-18-Stereo-Mixer/. Works fine for TV and Bluetooth receiver with 1kOhm resistors.
Someone FINALLY did a good tutorial on how to install RAM
By all means, #movingtogitlab-dot-com does not solve the problem GitHub has (centralization), and moving to a privately hosted GitLab re-introduces the problem GitHub mostly solved (separation).
#GitPub is trying to solve this problem by defining a federation protocol for git services: https://github.com/git-federation/gitpub
Microsoft is acquiring GitHub. Some folks may not remember the mean war Microsoft waged against free and open source software just a few years back, but I do. Goodbye GitHub, it's been a fun ride. Hello again GitLab, thanks for being there for me!
