There was recently a lot of news about DNS over HTTPS. Some people say it's bad for privacy because it centralizes the DNS requests on Google, Cloudflare and Quad9.
Time to change that and run your own DNS over HTTPS server. I spend some time today in writing, documenting and arranging a small container setup to allow you to do this:

Y'all should be using #Firefox containers for your site-isolating and anonymous browsing needs and I wrote about them https://spin.atomicobject.com/2018/10/29/virtual-browsers-firefox-containers/ #privacy

I feel like not enough people focus on the fact that Germany wants to outlaw hosting Tor servers. A significant amount of Tor is hosted from Germany, but more importantly, if Germany outlaws it, many other countries that so far were afraid to do so will follow suite. All intelligence agencies despise Tor and lobby their governments to shut it down. It's a slippery slope.

As a FOSS enthusiast I think I've found the right Mastodon instance for me.
So, what can I tell you about me. Quick 'n' dirty:
* learning #Python
* help people to protect their #privacy with various projects
* use #Debian and #SailfshOS on my main machines
Goals:
* spread & gain knowledge
* meet new people
* build a small forum
* create a magazine (for fun)
That's it for now. I'm looking forward to have interesting conversations.

Wer sich über die teils verpixelten Gesichter auf meinen Photos von der Demo wundert, ich hab mal #ObscuraCam vom Guardian Project ausprobiert.
https://guardianproject.info/apps/obscuracam/
Schon nicht schlecht, aber bei so Massen werden zu wenige automatisch erkannt.
Wer Guardian Project nicht kennt, die haben eine Handvoll #Android #privacy apps in einem F-Droid Repository. Z.B. auch #Orbot Tor für Android und ehemals #Orfox für Orbot, jetzt Tor Browser.

So putting a data center in Canada is enough effort for #facebook, they feel they should be exempted from having to do further efforts to protect users' #privacy...

Software is trending in the wrong direction. Decreased transparency, centralisation, and proprietary monopolies.
In this article I describe the 5 ingredients to ethical software:
- open data
- open source
- distributed deployment
- decentralised hosting
- end to end encryption

Let's make software less about profit, and more about people again.

#Privacy? I don't have anything to hide.
> Over the last 16 months, as I've debated this issue around the world, every single time somebody has said to me, "I don't really worry about invasions of privacy because I don't have anything to hide." I always say the same thing to them. I get out a pen, I write down my email address. I say, "Here's my email address. What I want you to do when you get home is email me the passwords to all of your email accounts, not just the nice, respectable work one in your name, but all of them, because I want to be able to just troll through what it is you're doing online, read what I want to read and publish whatever I find interesting. After all, if you're not a bad person, if you're doing nothing wrong, you should have nothing to hide." Not a single person has taken me up on that offer.

#Facebook shared a vision about a #privacy. We applaud the idea & goals, with some skepticism.
Meanwhile, it will still be a single platform owned and controlled by a single player - #decentralization is a better way to keep data under control of users.
