Hmmm

Who would've thought the communists in China think it's OK to take from others and give to themselves.

Germany is joining China on the pursuit, eh?

Aren't Canada and Australia doing the same tyrannical thing?

This woke intersectional identy Marxism that is sweeping the globe has got to go.

Socialists ... Communists ... they're all the same. Evil to the core.

A lot of states in the USA outlawed chemtrails this year.

Immorality is destroying human happiness.

That's creepy.

Don't be that way.

That's what I've been saying...

Aww shucks. I never emptied my Phoenix wallet. LOL.

I ignore such requests and laws that infringe in my unalienable rights.

Voting harder doesn't work.

Protesting didn't work.

Not complying works right here, right now.

Did it ever leave the USA? I've had it through Obtainium and Zapstore the while time.

Yep ...

I don't take those people seriously.

She is awesome.

That whole firing thing caught her off guard. She wasn't expecting that at all.

It's a cakewalk if you use the Zapstore. ( Zapstore.dev )

Is there a way to access Start9 using a SSL and a personal domain?

And this will happen on any social media, not just Nostr.

Wha? It's always been in my app stores.

That nine loss like a mirrored e because it's tail goes up more then a 9 should.

I have an Index for my account, in my profile, and it only works in Amethyst. I assume nobody uses it, so it's mainly for me. If other clients refuse to support markdown, oh well.

I've linked your list under the Index's "Nostr" page.

Recently when I post I do a universal note first, and then edit and update the note to markdown, that way it works best on most clients.

Amethyst honors edits, so the markdown works on Amethyst. The other clients see a sub-par post that works best for them.

I love this. How can anyone forget you made that?

### Sherpa TTS

(A Text-to-Speech Engine for DeGoogled Phones)

Sherpa TTS (github.com/woheller69/ttsengine) is a really good open source Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine for Android phones. It runs locally on your phone, which means you aren't sending your data back to some Big Tech company to be collected, analyzed and sold to suspicious 3rd party entities, whether they be government and private.

Sherpa TTS works really well with apps such as:

- Navigation Apps:

- OsmAnd~

- Organic Maps

- Librera - You can turn any ebook file into an audio book using Sherpa as the Librera TTS engine.

- Voca - copy and share any text to Voca, which reads it back to you.

Pros:

- A ton of Language Packs

- Language packs have many voices

- Whisper AI based

- Works really good

- Fully offline (runs on your phone)

- Open Source

Cons:

- Chinese developer with no credibility in the western world (yet)

### To Get Sherpa TTS Working

1. Install Sherpa TTS from the Zapstore (zapstore.dev) or From F-Droid (f-droid.org)

2. Search your DeGoogled phone settings for "text-to-speech output"

- select "text-to-speech output"

- select "Preferred engine"

- select "Sherpa TTS"

3. Open Sherpa TTS app and download a Language

- Most languages come with different voices, so try a few out. You might surprise yourself with a better voice.

### OpenStreetMap - How to Contribute & Edit

-------

OpenStreetMap.org makes it very easy to edit and contribute to their project by letting you edit the world map in a web browser.

Their website has a quick easy tutorial that steps you through the basics in just a few minutes, and the editing interface is very intuitive and easy to use.

You can do things like add and edit houses, businesses, boundaries, and other buildings . . as well as add and edit roads.

After changes are reviewed, they will show up for everyone on OpenStreetMap.org, and will also get pulled into the OsmAnd navigation appand the Organic Maps navigation apps.

In OsmAnd, the updates will not automatically show up. You must have "Live Updates" turned on . . in the Download Maps area.

To contribute to, or edit OpenStreetMap, all you have to do is:

1. Create an account at OpenStreetMap.org & log in

2. Zoom in to the area you want to edit

3. Click the "Edit" button

4. Go through the "Walkthrough" tutorial, which can be found in the lower right "Help" icon, once you are in edit mode.

Orgzly is one of the best apps for taking notes on Android, and it works good with the "Org-Mode" in the command line terminal.

Emacs, running in Org-Mode ( orgmode.org ), is the Linux compliment to Orgzly. When you open a ".org" file in Emacs, it will go into Org-Mode, and Emacs will behave in a way useful for taking notes.

Here's the Org-Mode tutorial website to help you see how it works:

orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/index.html

To get Orgzly / Org-Mode Syncing follow these steps. (See comments for more details)

1. Use your own self-hosted Nextcloud or use a Nextcloud service provider such as Murena Cloud (murena.io) formerly known as eCloud, and create a older for sync in your Nextcloud "Files" using a web browser ... Name this folder "OrgzlyNotes" for this example.

2. Install Orgzly Revived on Android, using F-Droid.org or Zapstore.dev, and sync to the Nextcloud / Murena "OrgzlyNotes" folder.

3. Install "Nextcloud Desktop" onto Linux, & Sync the Nextcloud / Murena "OrgzlyNotes" folder to a local "OrgzlyNotes" folder.

4. Install Emacs and create and edit .org files within the synced "OrgzlyNotes" local folder on your omputer. The "Nextcloud Desktop" software will auto-sync any changes to the folder.

A bunch of Org-Mode Tutorials can be found here:

orgmode.org

### Great American Family

Non-Woke Christmas Movies

Hallmark started putting woke Marxist LGBT queer debauchery in their movies a few years back, ruining their Christmas movie tradition.

When Hallmark announced they were going to add filth to their movies, the "Queen of Hallmark Christmas," Candace Cameron Bure, announced her move to Hallmark's competition, Great American Family, which Hallmark sometimes gets their movies from.

Great American Family is now producing a lineup of Christmas movies every year, just like Hallmark, but without the homo debauchery. It is a great alternative.

The app for watching Great American movies is called "PureFlix". They offer a 7/day free trial of you want to try them out.

You can create a PureFlix account at [PureFlix.com](https:\\pureflix.com). You can also get their app onto DeGoogled phones using the [Aurora Store](nostr:nevent1qqsysfx4gvlqnqy6w7w5346ptjz8kqwa7q6xvnyfr2k0hct9qluhc4gpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsym07t03wahqjfl8r7hrppuqvlpralklk9mm25pzmpgkgtawx3d9grqsqqqqqpu4g6d0).

No... It's typical misleading words used by Marxist to manipulate people into their trap. They use words that have double meaning. A meaning that others will align with, and then the true meaning that they will warp it into later.

Like the word inclusion. They hide behind a meaning that some people align with, like voluntarily including those less fortunate in things, and then the word inclusion warps into the abolishment of private property and private spaces because private means the you have a right to exclude others from your private stuff. This leads to Equity, or equal outcome, and you start to see where the DEI nonsense is leading. 100% communism.

### Nala - A Better Front End for APT

(Brought to our attention by Blueghost05)

Nala is a more user friendly front end to the apt command in Linux.

Nala adds color, progress bars and formats everything in a more human readable format.

This [Tech Hut Nala video](https://odysee.com/@TechHut:1/nala-is-apt-but-way-better:3) goes over the basics.

Here's [the link to get Nala](https://gitlab.com/volian/nala). If you scroll down the page you can find the terminal commands to install it under the Installation section.

You can install it with these three commands:

```

echo "deb [arch=amd64,arm64,armhf] http://deb.volian.org/volian/ scar main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/volian-archive-scar-unstable.list

wget -qO - https://deb.volian.org/volian/scar.key | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/volian-archive-scar-unstable.gpg > /dev/null

sudo apt update && sudo apt install nala

```

Judging from the logo, the Nala name, and the Scar repository, it seems they derived their name from "The Lion King" movie. 😂😂

Sidenote: We couldn't find a decent size Nala logo image for this post, so we had to redraw it from scratch in Inkscape.

### Grub Customizer for Custom Boot Menus in Linux

Boot your Linux laptop with a more professional or fun boot menu using the "Grub Customizer" GUI program, and then grabbing a theme from [Gnome.org Grub Themes](https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=109&page=6&ord=latest), such as the "[Distro Grub Themes](https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1482847)", which has individual custom files for whichever distro you want.

With Grub Customizer you can:

- Install themes from [Gnome.org Grub Themes](https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=109&page=6&ord=latest)

- Move, remove, or rename menu entries

- Edit the contents of menu entries or creating new ones

- Set default operating systems and kernel parameters

- Customizing the appearance of the GRUB menu, including background images and text colors

Sometimes Grub Customizer is not included in the default repos, and sometimes it is, so here is the PPA. (for Ubuntu based distros).

```

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer

sudo apt update

sudo apt install grub-customizer

```

### Set Up Fingerprint Reader in Linux Mint

>Note: This works on the Dell XPS-13 9635 2-in-1, and on the Dell Latitude 5400 fingerprint readers

>For XPS-13, swipe down over sensor. For Latitude 5400 press ... or swipe. The XPS-13 usually take a few tries.

1. Make sure your fingerprint device is compatible with Linux

- type `lsusb`

- check to see if the device is included on this website: https://fprint.freedesktop.org/supported-devices

- If `lsusb` shows a Broadcom device, you may be able to get the driver in the next step.

2. For Broadcom fingerprint devices, such as the "Broadcom Corp. 58200" on the Dell Latitude 5400. grab and install the latest .deb Broadcom driver package from this Ubuntu Canonical website: (Debian based distros only)

>Note: This link is not encrypted or secure

- http://dell.archive.canonical.com/updates/pool/public/libf/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom/

- `libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom_5.12.018-0ubuntu1~22.04.01_amd64.deb` is what worked on the Dell Latitude 5400 running Mint 22.

3. Make sure fingerprint packages are installed.:

```

sudo apt install fprintd libpam-fprintd

```

4. Enroll your fingerprints

```

fprintd-enroll -f right-index-finger

```

- Here's a list of "fingerprint" options. Replace `right-index-finger` in the above command with one of these.

- left-thumb

- left-index-finger

- left-middle-finger

- left-ring-finger

- left-little-finger

- right-thumb

- right-index-finger

- right-middle-finger

- right-ring-finger

- right-little-finger.

5. Enable the fingerprint option in pam. Hit space bare to enable an option. Make sure to leave the other options enabled so if fingerprint fails you can still log in.

`sudo pam-auth-update`

6. Set max fingerprint tries to a larger number, such as 5 or 10

- edit the `/etc/pam.d/common-auth` file and set the `max_tries` equal to something larger than 1.

```

sudo nano /etc/pam.d/common-auth

```

```

max_tries=10

```

7. Verify the fingerprint works

```

fprintd-verify

```

### How To Navigate on DeGoogled Phones

There are great open-source navigation apps for Android available on the [F-Droid App Store](nostr:nevent1qqs0p2dtgr60nkwp6txz3l0qnjy8vjl29kmghj7qq9yfae0ekna33sqpz3mhxw309ucnydewxqhrqt338g6rsd3e9upzqndled79mkuzf8uu06uvy8spnuy0h7m7ch0d2sytv9zep04c6954qvzqqqqqqyw069hs), but they have one serious drawback ... and that is they can't find most addresses. Fortunately there is a work-around for this.

On F-Droid, the [GMaps WV](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.maps/) app will use and abuse Google Maps to get the coordinates of the address you seek, and then forward them to the open-source Navigation App of your choice, all the while blocking Google's telemetry attempts.

Two popular open-source navigation apps are [OsmAnd](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.osmand.plus/) and [Organic Maps](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/app.organicmaps/). Both are available from the F-Droid App Store.

Thanks to GMaps WV, the issue of not being able to find addresses has been mitigated until OpenStreet Maps gets to where address lookup works. OpenStreet Maps has made huge improvements in this area just in the last year.

### Nextcloud Hosting Options

Nextcloud is an open-source online ecosystem that you can use isntead of Google, Apple, or Microsoft, to keep all of your data private, secure, & out of the hands of Big Tech & out of the hands of Big Government.

This post list some Nextcloud options below.

>Note: Out of all of the options below, Cloudamo is the best option for people who aren't super techie, but want the ability to customize their own Nextcloud.

**A Brief List of Nextcloud Options:**

(There are many, many more Nextcloud options)

1. **Pay For a Nextcloud Service Provider.** You pay the Nextcloud provider money, and they DO NOT sell your data to anyone and everyone. If you go this route, you are stuck with whatever Nextcloud apps they install, and cannot customize your Nextcloud.

- [eCloud/Murena](https://murena.io/), a French company that offers a free account w/free email, up to 1Gig.

- [LibertyStratus](https://libertystrat.us/), a conservative Patriotic company out of Arizona.

2. **Host Nextcloud on Someone Else's Server (VPS)**

- [Cloudamo](https://cloudamo.com/) - Company out of Switzerland, with servers in the USA. You 100% control what gets installed on your Nextcloud.

- [Linode/Akamai](https://www.linode.com/) & [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/) are some of the most commonly used hosts for this.

- With Linode and Digital Ocean you can do full disk encryption. This creates even more headache.

- Note: Even with full disk encryption, your Nextcloud VPS provider can still see your data if they really want to by doing a physical memory dump of the server hardware to get your VPS full disk encryption key.

3. **Host Nextcloud on Your Own Hardware at Home.** Self-Hosting on your own hardware is the ideal situation. Nobody can get their hands on your server without going through you.

**Here are some tutorials on setting up Nextcloud:**

- [Installing Nextcloud on a Linode/Akamai VPS](https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/how-to-install-nextcloud-on-ubuntu-22-04/)

- [Video Tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teUlz635ZoA) on Installing Nextcloud on a Linode/Akamai VPS.

- [The Official Nextcloud Install Script](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html#installation-via-install-script)

- Note: You need to set up your LAMP server first. LAMP = Linux Apache MariaDB/MySQL PHP. If you scroll up, that link guides you through a LAMP install.

### Kid Safe DeGoogled Phones Using GrapheneOS

Setting up a DeGoogled phone for kids can be done fairly easily now using the latest version of GrapheneOS.

The basic steps are as follows:

1. [DeGoogle a phone with GrapheneOS](https://grapheneos.org/install/). GrapheneOS's website is the best place to go for instructions on how to DeGoogle a Google Pixel phone. They offer a couple of intallation methods, and keep everything up to date.

2. [Turn on multi-user accounts](https://www.howtogeek.com/333484/how-to-set-up-multiple-user-profiles-on-android/), & create a "kid's" account, naming the account whatever you like.

4. [Install the apps you want onto the "Owner" account, and push those apps to your child's account](https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/2133-question-about-the-install-available-apps-feature-for-user-profiles) under the multi-user setting.

5. [Remove the GrapheneOS web browser "Vanadium"](nostr:nevent1qqs9wa5er9u5n36nhqdfanluyjaxw7l2q7067qnza7y07smm7vjcffspz3mhxw309ucnydewxqhrqt338g6rsd3e9upzqndled79mkuzf8uu06uvy8spnuy0h7m7ch0d2sytv9zep04c6954qvzqqqqqqyxzlz3q) from the kid's account so they can't surf the Internet.

6. [Install an eSIM](https://grapheneos.org/usage#esim-support) so your kids can't take the physical SIM out and put it into any device they want.

### QGIS - Custom Mapping in Linux

[QGIS](https://qgis.org/en/site/) is an open-source, professional grade, GIS (Geographic Information System) mapping and analysis program that is available for Linux. It is very useful for creating any size map, in vector format, which can be exported to .pdf format.

You can do things like build custom maps over Google Maps, and/or import map data from [OpenStreetMap](https://openstreetmap.org)

QGIS comes in handy when you want to quickly make a map for things such as:

- Scout camps

- Church events/activities

- Event parking

- Event building locations

- Family reunions

- [A global map of your ancestory](https://digital-geography.com/map-family-tree-gramps-qgis-digitize-visualize-genealogy-data)

- Cell tower radiation patterns

- Emergency response plans

- etc.

Here are a few examples of what people have done with QGIS -> [QGIS map examples](http://www.flickr.com/groups/qgis/pool/)

This -> [python script](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/klakar/QGIS_resources/master/collections/Geosupportsystem/python/qgis_basemaps.py) can be run inside of QGIS to bring in links to many online mapping servers, such as OpenStreetMap and Google Maps.

Here are some QGIS learning links:

1. [QGIS Course on Udemy.com](https://www.udemy.com/course/gis-in-qgis-3-for-beginners-project-and-e-book/)

- A good course for only $15

### FUTO Voice Input Speech-to-Text Android Keyboard

(Open Source, not FOSS)

Did you know Google's voice to text app records and saves everything you say into it . . . forever? Yikes! No thanks.

Fear no more. Louis Rossman, and the FUTO organization he works for, have finally released their voice recognition app for Android phones.

The app is called Voice Input. It is based on OpenAI Whisper, which is really good. This means it does capitalization, punctuation, & works better than Google's offline version

This is the solution we've been waiting for! No Internet access needed. It's all done locally on your phone

The Voice Input app is open-source, but it's not FOSS, and has a very, very limiting license

Here is 👉 [the FUTO F-Droid repo](https://app.futo.org/fdroid/repo/).

You can download the app directly from the [FUTO company website](https://voiceinput.futo.org).

Learn more about the app in

this 👉 [video](https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/this-gives-google-less-access-to-your:1)

Here is the 👉 [FUTO Voice Input source code](https://gitlab.futo.org/alex/voiceinput). (They run their own GitLab server . . 👍💪)

### Murena Cloud (aka eCloud)

(Replaces Google/Microsoft/Apple Online Ecosystems)

[Murena Cloud](https://e.foundation/ecloud/) (previously called eCloud) is a complete, fully “deGoogled”, online ecosystem.

It gives all the services offered by the tyrannical Big Tech companies, without the any of the privacy invasions or tyranny. Woohoo!

**List of Services**

***

- Free email

- Online file storage

- Contacts

- Calendar

- Notes

- Tasks

- Photos

- Online document collaboration

All done with open-source solutions, such as Nextcloud and Open Office.

eCloud integrates into the Linux desktops, Linux phones, and Android phones very easily. All you need to do in Linux devices is log into the "Online Accounts" app, and apps like Evolution, Geary, Kmail and Kontact see your eCloud email, contacts, calendar and tasks.

If you buy one of their /e/ Murena phones, or install /e/OS on your phone, that phone will automatically be set up to use eCloud services.

You can get an eCloud account 👉 [here](https://e.foundation/ecloud/).

You can get /e/OS 👉 [here](https://e.foundation/e-os/), and install it yourself on one of these [/e/OS compatible phones](https://doc.e.foundation/easy-installer).

You can get an /e/OS phone 👉 [here](https://murena.com/products/smartphones/), such as the [Murena Fairphone 5](nostr:nevent1qqsgzgvtslwxg03624cgafplq894nzw6gytxuuv5u7fccss7yyyh7fcpz3mhxw309ucnydewxqhrqt338g6rsd3e9upzqndled79mkuzf8uu06uvy8spnuy0h7m7ch0d2sytv9zep04c6954qvzqqqqqqy8fp9m3).
