Considering it. Just need to look into the how. I do have two personal VPSs.

Yes I'm occasionally active on the @privacytools channel in #Element, and I love what @matrix are doing, so it's definitely something I've considered. I'd mainly want somewhere public I could get likeminded people together to discuss what I term #freelearning - #elearning created using #FOSS.

Arguments for/against running my own #IRC channel? My understanding is it's a big responsibility and a lot of effort (especially if public and popular). What are the essential things to consider?

#networking #chat #server

I'm really keen to get involved with the @debian Debian Academy #elearning platform, so I've joined the #IRC channel (#debian-academy on #OFTC) and I'm hoping to contribute in any way with writing/dev/design/proofreading, using authoring and #LMS tools like #Adapt and #Moodle etc.

@lps Indeed. It baffles me, but I try to see it objectively too, which is easier when I remember that I was once in the same position: not caring much for privacy and security. It's amazing what's changed in the last two years since I discovered Snowden, related people/topics and this whole amazing community.

I can really relate to everything you mention in this post. It's like reading my own story. I had an especially similar moment recently when asked by my work to give feedback about our home working, in which I proposed all home workers start using the company #VPN. I don't expect much will come of it but I also trust our IT's decision.

@nikolal I expect this also means the gov will always be reluctant to take action against #Amazon. They're in bed with them essentially (consider #Ring's relationship with police etc.)

I've finally figured out the #CLI #ykman tool for managing my #Yubikey credentials. It works nicely and I've also managed to set up a challenge-response key for use with #KeePassXC.

#2FA #MFA #security #passwords #keepass #Linux #Debian #commandline #terminal

Someone please explain how I can manage my OTPs with the Yubikey Authenticator 'ykman' #CLI tool (now that there is a bug in the #GUI preventing normal launch. The CLI is confusing me. It says (correctly) I have slot 1 programmed on my key (multiple 2FA creds for various sites), but I can't see any way of listing or using them.

Yeah I figure it's doable. May not even get the damned thing (partner wants it), but if we do I want to know I can keep an eye on what it's doing.

If I were to have an in-home display for a #smartmeter installed, which had to be connected to my home #network, but claims to not access the internet, how could I verify this at the #router level?

Currently I have a guest network available which is blocked from having access to the #LAN. I suppose I could connect the display to this network and also block access to the internet...
