Our latest blog post is aimed at people who 'get it' about online privacy, but who struggle to convince friends and family to take it seriously. We hope it helps!

Great data visualisation on this - new accounts on X and the extreme content the algorithm pushes at them.

Has anyone here managed to set up the email for their Ghost blog, that you hosted using Pikapods? We're using Mailgun, but cannot get it all to work.

I've been trying for ages - no luck. First we're trying to just get it to be able to send the email invite for a new staff member. won't do that. Haven't even got to the bulk emails yet (though I have inputted the Mailgun API key to Ghost).

Peaceful general strikes would be a better first option imho

Contact your representative. And here's F-droid's article about it (including how to find your representative at the end of the article): https://f-droid.org/en/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration-decree.html

hi everyone,

I was just about to self-host a Ghost blog but then was warned that my ISP might change my external IP address at any time, so I would need to pay for a static IP address.

Is that true?

(I'd not seen much about that in stuff I've looked up so far about self hosting)

The UK moves are very worrying. We're trying to help people to move away from big tech at our site https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/

We recommend fediverse protocols wherever possible - so I'm interested in the comments here about how that is affected

Does anyone know if it's possible to cobble together an experience that's like the Positive Grid Spark (small amp with fx modelling) but also able to run a cable out to my 4x12 ?

All those modelling amps only output to powered speakers ๐Ÿ˜’

And the PG Spark has Facebook and Google trackers in the app that comes with it ๐Ÿคข

I've got a Line 6 Toneport UX1 from back in the day - and I love the tones from the amp modelling software that comes with, but that needs to be hooked up to a Windows computer, which is a faff.

I basically want that system but packaged into an amp box with a touch screen, and a line out to my 4x12. That would be sick.

Are there any competitors to Positive Grid that are building something like that?

Tasks.org is an amazing app but it's android only. I've got the back ups showing up on my linux machine via syncthing, but is there a tasks app that can use them?

RSS. And very happy that it is!

Please help promote the hashtags #Deadline2025, #BigTechWalkout2025 and #Reclaim2025 to reach those still using big tech platforms.

And share this great video that a friend of mine made showing how lame the big techbros really are.

If we starve big tech of data, their power diminishes.

Our tech map is European-centric so I thought this community would like to see it. Scroll down a bit on the linked page.

All suggestions for updates welcome!

If there was a Bandcamp for film and TV, then I would buy stuff there. DRM free.

But until then...

Totally. And that "legitimate interest" nonsense takes ages to click through ๐Ÿคฆ

Orgs have to wean themselves off big tech dollars. Painful, but has to happen. They'll have to restructure and refocus. Maybe cut out the AI stuff and focus on core functionality?

lol I thought this was a guerrilla IT warfare post where you snuck in and did it, but you actually did it with permission.... ๐Ÿ˜‚

I'm reading this on a Microsoft Surface that I flashed with Linux Mint. Quite satisfying!

Urgh this is so backwards.

Governments need to fund more FOSS not less!

Hopefully the EU can increase its support to compensate.

Ooooooooh I see! right.... yes that works.

I wasn't familiar with the idea of the instance 'fetching' a post. Thank you!
