Awesome, just configured the Firefox addon "Temporary Containers" to open every non "always open in"-tab as temporary tab.
This prevents a lot of CSRF attacks, even when websites themselves didn't implement proper measures.
To implement it I use those two addons:

and:

Our friend Chris finally did a write-up of his 16 core Z80 alternate future cyberdeck, and it is absolutely beyond bonkers:

@Tutanota I started using Protonmail before Tuta was available and haven't enough round tuits to get off Gmail yet anyway. No real problems with your service.

We have a first "review" of the #Purism #Librem5 Birch:

@dredmorbius Seconded, I've been a satisfied user of their mail and VPN services for years, and have subscribed for two.

steam is discontinuing the Controller it seems, so they're fireselling them at $5 a pop.
FOSS drivers in linux already so you don't have to worry about them stopping working next month or whatever.
Boost for your friends to get in on some cool HID devices.
@dredmorbius is Noah still on the fediverse? Lost track of him after G+ shut down. He doesn't seem to have posted on Pluspora for several months.
@croqaz Pilots sometimes refer to it as "undercast" when they are above it.
@caltlgin@masto.nixnet.xyz You might like cryptomator as well for encrypting cloud storage.

If you have a .org domain name: go renew it now. For the full 10 years.
Registration rights for .org were just bought by a private equity firm. And as part of that contract, the price caps were removed.
Anything in .org will get much more expensive, soon.
A ten year renewal will cost you a bit over a hundred bucks. Which is probably less than one year will cost you in the very near future.

"Do you have something to hide?" is a manipulative rebuke to those that use #encryption.
It would help us all turn this conversation around. Because, the answer is: YES, we do have something to hide.
Things that we should hide, and must question why a government or business NEEDS access to:
- Medical history.
- Sensitive conversations with employers, children, spouses.
- Billing and banking information.
- Purchase information.
- Web search history.
And more...

Introducing Private.sh: A search engine that cryptographically protects your privacy - https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2019/11/introducing-private-sh-a-search-engine-that-cryptographically-protects-your-privacy/ interesting and welcome
@bhtooefr Have you seen the Gemini PDA and the Cosmo Communicator? Modern equivalents of this and possibly right up your alley.
@dredmorbius Alabama had better watch out.
@sheogorath Civil liability. If they directly say they screwed up, it's easier to be successfully sued for it.
@bhtooefr I would also love to see this, and I'm curious about how much bandwidth, etc. it would need. The BBS in my town was small and text-only; I believe it was a QuickBBS instance.
This Firefox extension might be useful to compulsive tab-keeper-openers like @dredmorbius . Basically it will save your tabs as a list.

Authy will back up your keys and sync them to all your devices.
I dunno, give Firefox Preview a whirl? It's the future of their Android browser; FF68 is the end of the line.
