Thanks Melisa and Susie for showing us that as parents we need to be accountable and seek the truth rather than become fooled into thinking that the centralised institutions created by government will keep us and our children safe.

I've come to the realisation I don't want my kids growing up in Australia only to live in a glass prison where violations for civil liberty are taken so lightly.

So it is time to execute on that #PlanB.

Nice! Does it have to be an @alby address? I’ve applied for one but there seems to be a long waitlist 🥲

#AUstrich what do you think? The #Australian Government just announced they’re going to ban children from social media, and their Digital ID system is being rolled out after the Digital ID Act passed the Australian Parliament earlier this year.

Government overreach and control through #surveillance mirrors the oppressive tactics used by authoritarian regimes, like the Soviet Union, to stifle dissent and monitor citizens. The concern is that increasing surveillance, justified under the guise of protecting children or enforcing #security, can lead to significant curtailments of individual #freedom and #anonymity, echoing the power structures of past regimes that sought control over all aspects of life. The #Gulags serve as a historical reminder of the dangers of unchecked state power, and the implementation of Digital ID and online surveillance could be seen as a modern-day parallel, where the state and corporations could potentially misuse data and remove #privacy in a similar bid for control. While the situation is not identical, the fear is that excessive #surveillance can pave the way for similar abuses, albeit in a digital context.

Be warned and be careful what you wish for #AUstriches', for what is taken will not be returned.

Becoming a sovereign individual with sovereign computing thanks to nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll: Building your own server for hosting things like file storage thanks to #Nextcloud, a #Bitcoin full node, a #lightening node on a refurbished Dell Optiplex Mini PC, with Start9 OS lowers the barrier of entry.

In the digital age, becoming a sovereign individual means reclaiming control over your digital assets, data, and privacy. One powerful way to achieve this is by running your own server, especially with privacy-focused tools like Start9 OS. #degoogle your life and no more need for iCloud.

You can do all this without needing any linux command line knowledge or breaking the bank, for example using a refurbished Dell Optiplex Mini PC for as little as $200.

Thank you. I'm up and running connected nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 wallet and donated to nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll via #lightening

Yep, I tried that. The only way around this was to disable nostr:npub1mea2vwcu06qf7e4x00wd902vj54qnn2jacq76ldntrgfhtvhlpqqrvqane VPN and turn off the kill switch, a suboptimal workaround... Help

Coxinha, BBQ corn ribs and all the good stuff. you?

Hey, I appreciate the reply. Yes, I followed the guide both for iOS and Android. iOS works fine, but I still have issues with .local on the Android with GOS installed. I can see the Root CA in the User’s Trusted credentials. I have tried Vanadium and Firefox beta with no success.

I've since: added CA certificate, added the nextcloud app to VPN split tunnelling and disabled block connections without VPN. Still not having any luck. How do you trust CA in Firefox beta dev option?

I finally got around to #selfhosting NextCloud on nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll server. I'm able to sync from my desktop but having trouble from my #GOS Android device. It says cannot find local host when I try to enter the servers LAN address. Have you managed to get the mobile device connected to NextCloud?? nostr:npub1c9d95evcdeatgy6dacats5j5mfw96jcyu79579kg9qm3jtf42xzs07sqfm are you aware of any limitations due to security?

Madex, please check DM's

#asknostr what is your favorite lightening wallet to run on #GOS without GSF running in the background.

I thought it was 2.5/second, according to your article. Or was that the test!?

What about nostr:npub14kw5ygpl6fyqagh9cnrytyaqyacg46lzkq42vz7hk8txdk49kzxs04j7y0 ?

I no longer have X on my phone and only use my account on my PC browser when I'm at my desk. However, we should #asknostr what people think about an alternative to X for breaking news and keeping up with current affairs.

Noted. Thank you

What was the final straw, if any? Have you found an alternative for breaking news and current affairs from a non-mainstream media source? I would love to hear more on this Chris. #nostr

Does this exist? Good idea, but to work the attacker would need to keep cellular service turned on. With #GOS you can set up separate user profiles to 'hide' sensitive app's or data. Plus they have recently introduced a duress pin, which wipes the phone if entered.
