Going Luddite :-)
sazius at 2017-11-29T20:25:43Z
I turned off my Nextcloud some time ago. I plan my work in a paper notebook, and use an old fashioned paper calendar. My address book is just locally on my devices (of course backed up). I don't use email on my phone so that works out surprisingly well.
I use Syncthing for syncing a few files between my phone and laptop, which doesn't require a server. The only thing still running on my server is this pump.io instance. I'm afraid when my server dies (it's a pretty old computer) I won't be replacing it.
I guess I'm getting old and going Luddite :-)

The way the "common" technology is evolving, and how creepy everything is these days, this is probably the only sane thing to do =)

I definitely support this, but we'll be sad to see you go :-)
Yeah, that's a big part of it. Also being parent to a small child means I have much less time to devote to being a sysadmin for my stuff :-)
syncthing sounds interesting .. its annoying having to go to the play store to get an ssh server app so i can do scp,
why isn't there one on f-droid?
theres a client there but thats less useful because typing on phones is too annoying.

Switching to Mastodon - see you soon!
mray INACTIVE at 2017-08-16T11:51:13Z
Mastodon will soon be supporting ActivityPub . So I'm going to switch there for good now. If everything works as expected I'd be in touch with everybody still sticking with pump.io anyway. But for now I'm not maintaining two timelines anymore.
My new home is https://social.tchncs.de/@mray - follow me there, or wait for ActicityPub here. See you soon!

Bits from Debian: Debian turns 23!
Debian Project at 2016-08-16T12:35:06Z
Link to original post: Debian turns 23!Today is Debian's 23rd anniversary. If you are close to any of the cities celebrating Debian Day 2016, you're very welcome to join the party!
If not, there's still time for you to organize a little celebration or contribution to Debian. For example, you can have a look at the Debian timeline and learn about the history of the project. If you notice that some piece of information is still missing, feel free to add it to the timeline.
Or you can scratch your creative itch and suggest a wallpaper to be part of the artwork for the next release.
Our favorite operating system is the result of all the work we have done together. Thanks to everybody who has contributed in these 23 years, and happy birthday Debian!

First I thought it's kind of cute how websites ask me to disable my adblocker. Then I was convinced it was pure stupidity. Now I regard it as an insult.

Playing the lottery is probably like not flying because there’s a chance of a plane crash, or it might be like going/staying inside to avoid lightning.

If you can be replaced by a video, you should be.

A simple rule =)
Signal (formerly TextSecure and RedPhone) can actually be run without Google via F-Droid! I had to jump to lots of hoops, but it turns out to work. Looks like a simpler approach based on WebSocket instead of Googles service is in sight.

Software development anno 1973
Claes Wallin (韋嘉誠) at 2015-11-07T11:15:55Z
Wow, software development roadmaps were often too optimistic and projects tended to slip behind schedule? I'm sure glad we mastered those issues in the 40 years since then.

One of the most satisfying things ever is filing an issue (whether because of a bug or a feature), having the maintainer accept and implement it, and seeing it ship to thousands of users.
I love that about free software.Elena ``of Valhalla'', gdk, Claes Wallin (韋嘉誠), Sarah Elkins and 8 others likes this.
