Since #g20 is getting closer, I can't help but think about Genoa 2001.

"Genoa tells us that when the state feels threatened, the rule of law can be suspended. Anywhere."

This is a video of Russian media and pop culture in response to Donald Trump getting elected. Omg it's so bizarre and terrible and weird fieldofvision.org/our-new-pres

@Bobo_PK Bezüglich ZFS und LUKS: Grundsätzlich harmoniert LUKS sehr gut mit ZFS. Aber wenn du ZFS als Root Filesystem verwenden willst, dann musst du alles manuell einrichten, da der Ubuntu Installer noch nicht mit ZFS klar kommt. Ich habe mein System z.B mit so einer Anleitung eingerichtet. github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki Alls root fs würde ich es nicht jedem empfehlen, aber als Datenpartition ist es wirklich eine uneingeschränkte Empfehlung.

Mastodon's federation introduces UX challenges.

One that worries me a lot is about message forgery. Anyone can forge a twoot, even cross-server.

Whereas Twitter Inc might be trustworthy enough to not forge transcripts. Anyone can run a Mastodon server and might want to abuse it to influence people (see Russian troll campaigns).

Should Mastodon "home servers" cryptographically sign updates? Should there be end-to-end signatures? Anyone has thoughts on this?
