If you're concerned about your internet traffic being monitored, use our Tor hidden service to publish: writeas7pm7rcdqg.onion. Then, in the URLs you share, replace this part with "write.as", so others can easily read it.

Spent more time than necessary today playing with #Hugo, but I like how it comes together and the future workflow. I'll write about it more later and how my workflow with it will work vs the common #git workflow, it involves #resilio #sync
Rough site with junk filler post at: https://blog.techzerker.com
Testing load times tomorrow, right now it's running off a mounted #wasabi s3 drive, vs the server SSDs limited space.

You may find a list of #FreeSoftware solutions for doing graphics and photo editing to replace the proprietary products of #adobe with.

I'm not sure how the entire situation could become even weirder and worse, but at this rate I'm fully expecting 2020 to surprise us with a fleet of alien starships to attack Earth in July 😂
Huh, found an interesting bug that only seems to show up between Goofys (s3fs alternative) and Subsonic Music server, barring some more testing.
When a podcast tries to download with its target being the Goofys mount point, it downloads only a 320 KB file named with some UUID looking format, and isn't valid audio. If the podcast downloads to local storage, no prob!
Was using s3fs fuse until recently, need to test Subsonic against that to confirm if its Goofys at fault...

During these times of great uncertainty, we are being asked to trust industry and governments with their#COVID-19 fighting solutions. Governments and companies claim they are not going to exploit this data. Their track records do not engender trust.
I'm impressed with PiGallery2, I was looking for a non-platform lock-in method to share public photos, and this just plain old worked!
Thoughts?
The aim for something that isn't lock in meant no rearranging or renaming my photos, no full dependency on an SQL Database. If I move on later, with PiGallery I'll still just have folders of photos, as is, no data exports etc. required.
I'll write about it in more detail soon...

I've setup a new Mastodon server on mastodon.online. The idea is to provide another space for people who would've landed on mastodon.social but can't because it's closed.
Even though I am currently in charge of both there are still logical and infrastructural separations between the two that give this move meaning in the context of decentralization.
Not to mention I've already scaled to mastodon.social's size once, so it would be easier for me to do again than to scale mastodon.social further.

We know many of you are waiting for #PinePhone @ubports CE - it will be shipping very soon. Meanwhile, here are pictures taken the day production wrapped up. We're not going to spoil the phenomenal box design for this CE (by @cibersheep on Twitter) however, pictures don't do it justice.

@comment Interesting read, I've had awkward discussions with some, generally non-tech folks, that are oddly (to me), more concerned with potential chinese spying vs well established NSA and eyes monitoring.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Privacy allows us to set limits between our professional and personal spaces, to be free to work with dignity and to be free to rest.

I heard Gab is leaving the fediverse, good riddance!
The fediverse has no place for bigots, racists and nazis.
@kev Good read, I've been having the same debates, as I started to create seperate blogs, with TechZerker being about Tech amd Games, then a seperate general personally rambling blog, and then an Auto and Racing one... but I'm thinking similar... TechZerker is my main online ID beyond real name, so maybe it too just becomes an everything blog, and tags can help seperate if someone only wants to see Tech or Racing related content... hmm.
@comment Well written, not relying on tracking and metric based advertising I find helps quality, as the driver does not exist to over "SEO" content to get views and clicks. I'm ok with the quantity of content, in his time, Marcus Aurilus wasn't writing daily ever expecting his words to be read by others.
