#SyncThing is awesome! I wish I'd got around to installing it years ago, when I first heard about it. It solves the file sync problem proprietary tools like #DropBox solve, and #ownCloud/ #NextCloud aim to replace with #FreeCode. All purely #P2P, with no servers or #DNS required. I'm sharing folders between my laptops and some with a friend back in #Aotearoa (#NZ).

How To Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy, By Jenny Odell

"I am not against technology. After all, there are forms of technology - from tools that let us observe that natural world to decentralized, noncommercial social networks - that might situate us more fully in the present.

If anyone is curious what my screen looks like when I'm writing, here's a screenshot.

I'm looking at the pane in the top-right to add new buildings/streets/landmarks elsewhere in the same document (as headings) in the top-left pane.

The pane in the center-left is that document's index, which relies on the macros in the center-right pane, the project's main inheritable, more or less.

Bottom-left is an older version of the document in-progress, bottom-right is personal recordkeeping.

Do I know any Certified Ethical Hackers? Did you find value in it?
