PSA: the fediverse has always brought me much excitement and happiness, but the start of privacytools' instance took it to a new level. I love it here.

As part of our plan to overhaul our VPN section at privacytools.io, we can now proudly present our now VPN layout: privacytools.io/providers/vpn/

Note that we can still add a few refinements later on. Also at the end of 2019 we will re investigate all vpns listed, and lock the amount of providers we recommend to 3.
What do you all think?

Today's stream topics will be an introduction to Mycroft AI with a walkthrough of how to install with and without using the Mycroft AI company's servers and how to create teach Mycroft new things through creating skills.

I'm going to start streaming at 8:08 Eastern which is about 2 hours from now. I chose DLive for streaming because they do not require anything more than a username and email to sign up and stream. Which is less than Twitch with there 2fa text requirement for streaming.

Just ran through a mycroft install without home to make sure the process still works with the newest version and noticed even though I blacklisted skill-pairing it still installed at first boot. The fix is just deleting the folder before using Mycroft, but definitely not following the rules of blacklist at first boot.

Thinking about opening our gitlab instance up to the public. Noticed mormst gitlabs dont have runners and since ours does might as well open it up as an option.

So I think I'm gonna do some streaming tonight, for sure tomorrow. I think topics I will stream about are openAI development (might throw in a how to install and maintain mycroft without Home @jalcine ), OPsec, and Qubes OS basics.

If you are #selfhosting and break it, dont worry. You already bought it.

When completely autonomous cars go into production. The next step for the free software movement is to have the freedom to decide if your cars stops when the cops try to pull you over or if it speeds up lol.

I think I’m going to start streaming my usage of #FarmOS
There’s not a lot of content out there for it. And I think it would be a cool way to network with other farmers.

Am I the only one that feels like RedHat dropping KDE is a deal breaker?

So I would like to stream myself working on Open Ai and Mycroft showing people how to program their own skills. Twitch seems popular but their privacy policy is horrible. Does anyone know of any streaming providers that don't suck a privacy or should I just repurpose my jitsi installation or nextcloud talk installation for the purpose of streaming and share the link here?

PSA if your like me and would like to use a ROM but keep buying the wrong phones for lineage or /e/foundation. Now /e/foundation sells their own phones. They are coming out with a system where you could mail in your phones also. Here is the shop. e.foundation/e-pre-installed-r

@privacytools just a heads up. I'm working on building the sites info into a open ai call and response. Where a users says something like what are some good privacy plugins and it gives them the list from the site.
