@disturbedmt Sorry for my late answer :) I think "private" is based on the setup of the social media. I would say that Mastodon is privacy-respecting, so in this way "private". I mean, you could have a private profile without follower but this defeats the purpose of (un)social media.

I don't think that the main-design point of Okuna is privacy, more like a byproduct of a social- social media. :)

@gritnot First off: Welcome! ;) I'm not active at all but I wish you all the best in this Mastodon-instance.

As other people already said, and you propably already use it: Tusky for Android is awesome. :')
Or use the Browser if you like. That's an option too.

@gritnot I would like to too. They had a donation campaign where you could donate to them X and they would send to you an invitation link. That was a year ago or so :) But they are pretty active on GitHub 🧙‍♀️

Has someone heard of okuna.io/ ? :verified_white: It's a atm wip social media site which looks... at least interesting and promising to me. :)

(I hope it's okay if I do some sort of ""promotion"" for another social media site :blobthinkingeyes: )

Is it appropriate to come back by retooting... boosting a meme? I think so! Hello again. :))

Ich bin immer wieder zutiefst erschüttert, dass selbst Informatiker und technisch versierte Menschen so unreflektiert mit der heutigen Technik umgehen:
- WhatsApp als Messenger
- Facebook-App auf Google Smartphone
- E-Mails bei GMail
- Daten in der Microsoft-Cloud
- und Alexa im Wohnzimmer

Brrrr! Vorbildfunktion hat das nicht gerade... :think_bread:

@merlinscholz Moin and Welcome! ;) I like your website with this minimalistic style!
I would like to have my own little blog (to have some sort of reference for my work etc.) but don't know how to start. Do you have any resources you could recommend me about setting the server up and getting the infrastructure to run properly?

@fluxx Ich Frage mich, wie Firefox die Unabhängigkeit von Google, Apple und co. in der Finanzierung bewältigen möchte. Entlassungen, Firefox Pocket, Firefox PasswordSafe, --Send und VPN halte ich da für keine gute Herangehensweise, oder irre ich mich? :firefoxnew:
Ich frage mich zudem, welche weitreichenden Folgen die Entlassungen auf die Entwicklung von der UI/UX von Firefox, aber auch auf die Entwicklung von :tor: hat.

@nikolal thank you for your help! I'm trying to connect to my home-server (a small raspi) via public-key authentication but: step-by-step. I don't even know YET how to configure it in a secure way :)
It's always the same: you don't know anything, you are frustrated, you try it, again and again, it works... or it doesn't... you are frustrated... but then it works (somehow!) :bash:

@nikolal I can agree with you! I installed Ubuntu 20.04 on my step-fathers Laptop. I knew he wouldn't update his PC very often (if at all) I set a cronjob to do the job of updating once a week & set two aliases for youtube-dl in bash so he can download music/videos with a simple yt3 <link> // yt4 <link>.
I'm happy with :silverblue: , he's happy with *eh, thanks son, it just works* :ubuntu:

I thought configuring GPG was a headache with sub-keys, revocation-certificates, key-servers,...
BUT ssh?! :crazy:
I mean, ssh user@host -- get it. Easy peacy.

-- There are a quadtrillion config-files in /etc/ and $HOME/.ssh, ssh+sshd, ssha, certificates,..... :openbsd:

The more I want to dig into a topic (even if it's a simple thing like ssh), the more I feel overwhelmed by the tremendous deepness of the topic.

Soo... time to dig deeper into a relatively new topic for me :)) :terminal:

Hey devs, please use semantic html. This is important!

When listing things, use ul/li! When writing things, use p! When adding navigation, use nav! When putting the main part of your website inside a div, use main! Please use h1, h2, h3 for your titles! Don't use table for layout, they are for data!

Screen readers users have shortcuts to jump to all those parts of your website instead of reading it from top to bottom. But it only works with semantic html. So please help them! :tealheart:

I feel bad about myself because I didn't have done anything 'productive' on my machine for a very, very long time.

To counterpart the emptiness inside of me 😶, I try to start over again and participate in the Unicorn CTF 2020 this weekend.

I can't go by that I will achieve anything in the tournament but maybe it's fun and I can learn something new! 🧙‍♀️

Today, my son started to show real interest in computers and operating systems. I briefly explained how a computer works and that you can run any OS you want on it.
Also explained what Windows was, and he promptly said:
"But I like using Linux, it is better",
I asked him why, and he said:

"I like the penguin"

:supertuxkart:

Hi @freddy I like your idea and hope you hang on to it! And don't get frustrated if you skip/forget a day! Keep going! There are probably >50 books in my shelf which I didn't read yet and even more on my phone.

I finished "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning'" by Haruki Murakami (short stories 🙂 ) last week and I'm currently reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick

@Mayana Hello Mayana! Thank you for your response - I'm really happy about it!
I needed some clearance in the last 1.5 years - Internet is a stressful place sometimes! It's not always easy if you aren't using mainstream messengers, (I think) especially in my age -- all the more happy am I to be back! 🙂

Hello World! After more than a year social media abstinence, I thought I join at least Mastodon again and give a short of myself!
Sooooo... How should I start? I'm turning 18 this week and start (probably) college in Germany next year (IT-Sec).
I use a Thinkpad T440p with :fedora: Silverblue; googlefree-Moto G7 Power (Custom ROM)

I would like to program, but I don't know anything about it. I did CTF's on-and-off. ATM it's an off.

Thanks to @dngray for the invitation link! TOOT!
