I am raising $50 to pick up a pair of open-source security keys (SoloKeys or Nitrokey). I'd love to do a review or series about these!

The Mission: Kill off SMS based 2FA and move to hardware backed FIDO2 for my desktop and Proxmox logins. It is time to move my security away from a SIM card and into my own hands.

Testing Password Managers: Moving on from KeePassXC + Syncthing (it has served me well but can be fickle) to try out Proton Pass, which also supports hardware keys. I also had good experiences from Bitwarden and VaultWarden.

Which do you prefer for Linux? :gnu: :tux:

I would greatly appreciate any support of the goal here: ko-fi.com/terminaltilt/goal?g=0

I also have a LibrePay (which is much more privacy respecting) here: liberapay.com/terminaltilt/don

A noir-style illustrated poster titled “The Case of the Disappearing Copyright.” The Lockette—a cartoon character whose body is an open yellow padlock—cautiously steps out of an open vault marked with a copyright symbol. A strong beam of light shines from outside the frame, casting a large copyright symbol onto the floor. Floating eyes and a magnifying glass with a question mark evoke a detective mystery. Red footprints lead toward the open vault door. Text reads: “Public Domain Day 2026” and “Jan 21st @10am PT: Virtual.” Illustrated by Freya Morgan.

I rode passenger today on a patrol watching for ICE in my neighborhood in Minneapolis.

Our ride was mostly uneventful, the neighborhood we patrolled has been a target but just not this afternoon.
It took me a while to follow everything that is going on, and I felt rather incompetent even as a passenger. These communities are rapidly developing processes and their own kind of professional standards even as new people are constantly joining in. There is a large set of Signal groups covering different portions of the city and into the suburbs, as well as many subdivisions for reactive response. There's a schedule of dispatchers who run calls, formal handoff, other support people to take notes and follow the chat. Drivers are trying to spot ICE, peering into the tinted windows (so many people have tinted windows!), looking up license plates.

There's a protocol that I don't yet understand for what to do when you encounter an ICE vehicle. Several times a day I hear the caravans of ICE and observers honking as they go down one of the streets by my house; protocol is only to do that after a direct encounter and ICE officers leaving their vehicle. I'm not sure what that implies in terms of numbers.

Throughout the neighborhood many corners had people in hi-viz jackets on guard. It was around the time kids were coming home from school. These are being organized separately, by schools, community organizations, churches, and the many ad hoc groups that are popping up block by block.

This is all heartening, and impressive, and also sad because it's not nearly enough. People are doing their best, but their best can only slow down ICE. We can't solve this from here.

"でもバベルの塔は崩れてしまい、私達はまたソーシャルメディア以前のような、散り散りのコミュニティの時代に戻りつつある。"

私は、それでいいと思っている。いずれまた振り子が振り切って、次のバベルの塔を目指し何処か・何かに集まり始める、そのときまで。自分自身が、そういう変化にどこまで追随できるかは、知らんけど。

I've just sent the first end-to-end-encrypted messages from one instance to another.

News from around the USA really has me down, so it's important to celebrate the little wins 🎉

And, there's still so much to do. But with equal quantities of luck and caffeine, I can screencast some early prototypes for you before too long.

I believe is important for the because it will give us more ways to use this network, and expand what people can do here.

Application screenshot of the terminal from my laptop, showing debug output of an ActivityPub message being sent from one account and received by another.

It's really a bunch of gibberish, but that's the point. The messages are "end to end" encrypted using MLS, so there's nothing to actually read. And the lack of readable information is the whole point.

이 예상이 다 어긋나고 큰 위기 없이 모든 일이 지나갔으면 좋겠지만, 아직까지 예보만 봐서는 걱정이 많이 됩니다. 당분간은 이번 달 말 있을 한파를 좀 더 지켜봐야겠네요. 오늘 하루, 블루스카이 가족 여러분 뿐 아니라 지구를 덮는 북극 얼음에도 부디 행운이 찾아와 주었으면 하는 기도를 드립니다. 좋은 하루 되세요.

거기다 지난 1월까지 이어진 따뜻한 날씨와 건조로 인해 전체적으로 오클라호마/텍사스 일대 작물의 내한성이 약해졌고, 눈이 덮어주지 못해 지표면 한기가 뿌리까지 전달될 가능성이 열렸습니다. 갑작스러운 한파가 발생할 경우 동해를 입을 가능성이 높아진 것입니다. 흔히들 아랍의 봄을 단순한 민주화 요구, 자유의 바람에서 찾지만 배후에는 러시아 폭염과 중국 겨울 가뭄이 겹치며 세계 밀 가격이 2개월 사이에 40% 이상 급등했던 이유가 있었습니다. 식량 위기가 기존의 사회적 갈등을 더욱 증폭시킨 것입니다. 이젠 거기 에너지가 겹칩니다.
