Another great speech by Eben Moglen.

The last two days @tokata_ie and I visited Takini School, Standing Rock Community School and the beautiful Standing Rock Reservation. Thank you everyone for your leadership, your resistance and your incredible hospitality! #NoDAPL #NoKXL #WaterIsLife

Stay strong rebels.

We love you all.

@freedomboxfndn @imcmjha I wrote about my experiments running FreedomBox on a mobile device here
https://njoseph.me/mediawiki/FreedomBox/Experiments

I think @imcmjha if asking is FreedomBox can run on mobile data. A colleague of mine was trying to create a fully portable FreedomBox with mobile data from a USB SIM adapter and powered by a mobile battery bank. Haven't heard back from him yet.

Maybe old Purism phones can be recycled to run FreedomBox in the future, since PureOS is also a Debian variant.

A conversation with @elonmusk about Starship! Thanks for getting nerdy with me about aerospikes. We should definitely talk about more stuff like those heat shields and stuff next time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIQ36Kt7UVg&feature=youtu.be

Starship will use in-space propellant transfer to enable the delivery of over 100t of useful mass to the surface of the Moon or Mars

Starship will be the most powerful rocket in history, capable of carrying humans to the Moon, Mars, and beyond
