There are really important reasons why the Fediverse (including Mastodon) is spread out on thousands of fully independent servers:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/why-is-the-fediverse-on-so-many-separate-servers

There are also really important reasons why servers don't store every post from every other server:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/why-arent-all-mastodon-and-fediverse-posts-and-accounts-automatically-visible-from-all-servers

The weird quirks of the Fediverse (including Mastodon) are designed this way specifically to keep the network under the control of ordinary people and grassroots communities.

Thanks to @tek’s great guide on setting up encrypted boot from nvme on the uconsole, I’ve now got mine booting off encrypted nvme!

Highly recommend doing this if you’ve got a uconsole and are still using sdcards!

Guide can be found here: https://honeypot.net/2026/07/07/booting-uconsole-cm-from-encrypted.html

Just do yourself a favor and actually read it - it has everything you need, but you do have to pay attention.

The original *size of car attribute == size of my cock* is a creation of a nephew of Sigmund Freud.

So the whole Koch/cock/petromasculinity Venn diagram is kind of a massive Freudian slip up

We signed up for that by solving their CAPTCHAs and by using their "free" CDN that was actually paid for by fucking our users. Too late to complain now.

Next generation Waymo?

"After entering the vehicle, please attach the handcuff shackle to your wrist and raise your arm so our internal cameras can verify that you are secured. Your ride will not commence until this is verified. The shackle will be automatically released when you reach your destination or in case of non-rider-caused emergency. Please note that if you engage in any behavior considered undesirable by the Waymo/President Donald J. Trump Department of Justice partnership, or you appear on any President Trump endorsed watch lists, you will be taken directly to appropriate authorities for processing and incarceration. Thank you for using Waymo!"

EFF’s @evacide joined the Security Cocktail Hour podcast to explain how some of the most damaging cyber threats are not exotic. Stalkerware, shared device access, coercion, and weak privacy defaults can turn an ordinary phone into a tool for surveillance and control.
