#Primal is what has worked most consistently for me on desktop as well. I still run into the odd glitch, which requires me to refresh the page, but overall it works well.

I'm already in the process of implementing a self-hosted options.

So for now, I am looking for an emergency backup in the cloud for the most essential data that I can't replace. You know, in case of a fire or other catastrophic disaster. Regardless of the option, the plan is to use Cryptomator or a similar tool to encrypt everything prior to uploading it.

For long-term backups of crucial personal & professional data (photos, lecture recordings, documents, etc.) already on a home server or NAS device, are there any alternatives to BigTech's cloud storage options? I'm thinking something similar to Azure Archive, Amazon Glacier Deep Archive, etc.

Bonus points if the providers accept #Bitcoin (or #Monero) and respect our customer privacy.

Turning messaging services into government informants is a horrific, dystopian nightmare.

Is there a #privacy preserving alternative to Convert Kit or other newsletter services?

I'd rather not give out my full legal name, phone number, postal address, date of birth, keys to my Bitcoin wallet, nor DNA sequence away...just in order to send out my thoughts via email.

Thanks in advance, folks!

And what percentage of educators' training is spent on student wellness, student & teacher mental health, and other such relevant topics?

From my own experience, it's fairly limited.

Unless you count all of the mandatory reporter lessons. They're crucial too, but we should be supporting our students & teachers in so many other ways.

”You cannot create a back door that only the good [people] can go through,” [Signal president Meredith] Whittaker said, adding that it’s “mathematically impossible” and would “undermine the security of our core communications, core infrastructures.”

Signal says it won't implement government-mandated undermining of encryption:

Do any of the recent #Thailand #Bitcoin conference organizers know if the session recordings will be released to the public? If so, where should I go to find them?

I love queuing up different BTC & #Monero conference recordings and listening to them as I work or do chores.

Neat! Are the two topics intertwined, perhaps?

For example, I'm really curious to learn about 3D printing to make something like a #SeedSigner.

Sounds like quite the diverse range of topics: cryptography, econ, and theology.

I next to nothing about cryptography. Any good layman guides you'd recommend, whether books or articles? It'd be great to read some kind of introductory text.

As to econ and theo, anything specific you're learning about now?

Right now, they're scattered between a number of external drives, but my long-term plan is to learn how to self-host a NextCloud instance and to organize all of my photos therein.

You must take ownership of your own learning. Nobody else will prioritize it for you.

Make a plan, however simple, and execute on it. It can be as basic as bookmarking some articles or selecting a book and devoting 20 minutes a day.

Get after it, folks.

For all of our #privacy nerds here on #Nostr:

Do you know of a privacy-friendly newsletter provider, which won't ask me to give away my full legal name, postal address, and first child?
