The World That Was

It's easy to be overwhelmed by the world. I mean, look at ... everything. Massive ongoing wars everywhere, Fascism on the rise, exploding inequality. Shit is fucked up and more fucked up on a global scale than it ever was in my life time (I was born in 1979). And with the media…

Paranoia, Junior Grade

Recently I needed to do some pro-bono development that would get me hated by the Maple MAGA.

Introduction

For my customer’s project, I needed a git archive, a web site, and an email address, all under an alias. The alias was so that the bad guys would need a court order to figure out who to kill (:-))

The usual way to blow your operational security (OPSEC) is to start out ad-hoc, and leave easter-eggs behind for the bad guys to find. For example, getting a repo using your real email address.

Magic Order

To make this possible in Linux, you need to do it in the correct order.

Start by creating a local account for your alias, to put all its data in
then get the TOR browser, so you can do things as that alias,
apply for an email address for your alter ego at proton.me, in Switzerland,
use that to get a repo at someplace like Codeberg, in Germany,
and use the Codeberg pages of your repo for the web site.

Caveat

If you use Libre Office to do your documentation, it will record who that created a document, modified it, or commented on it. That could turn your documentation into a neon arrow pointing at yourself.

Ditto for most image files. If you take any yourself, they will have the author’s name in the metadata.

@Bonfire I would like to support your current crowdfunding campaign but I do not want anything in return; also I do not want to share my postal address with Indiegogo. Is there a way I can just donate?

🚄 The Bonfire team is rolling into Brussels for FOSDEM 2026!

Come find us at one of Europe’s biggest free software gatherings, with over 8,000 people, dozens of devrooms, and all things open source. We’re giving two talks this weekend (and both will be livestreamed at the links below, so you can join from anywhere, with recordings up afterward):

Building Modular, Consentful, and Federated Social Networks
🎥 Social Web devroom
🗓️ Saturday, Jan 31st, 17:10–17:30 CET
🌐 Local time where you are

Modular Communication Tools on the Open Social Web
🎥 Decentralised Communication devroom
🗓️ Sunday, Feb 1st, 14:45–15:15 CET
🌐 Local time where you are

We’ll be sharing more about the why and how of Bonfire and our ecosystem, hands-on demos, announcing new alliances, and real stories from communities using Bonfire today.

We can’t wait to connect with the open source and fediverse crowd, swap ideas, and meet anyone passionate about building healthier, more flexible, and consentful digital spaces. Whether you’re a developer, community organiser, or just fediverse-curious, come say hi!

Refrattario e controcorrente

Channel • 54 followers • *Segui il sito refrattario.link* Da oltre tre anni il sito "Refrattario e Controcorrente" ti informa, ti documenta, ti fornisce materiale utile ad un approfondimento della realtà nazionale e internazionale, un servizio tanto più necessario in un contesto come quello della sinistra italiana, segnato da un provincialismo linguistico ma anche politico, inaccettabile sempre e soprattutto oggi, quando l'inasprimento della conflittualità interimperialista, il precipitare della crisi climatica, la crescita dell'estrema destra, e la pessima situazione italiana rendono indispensabile cogliere gli spunti che ci vengono dal resto del mondo, senza chiuderci nelle nostre "certezze".

hey @Bonfire ! i saw this thread and thought you might be interested. there are currently solutions like OpenTracks for tracking physical activity statistics, but none have direct integration with ActivityPub for social sharing. A bonfire extension to integrate with an existing activity tracker could help many cyclists, hikers, runners, and more activity clubs migrate from Strava to communities on the fediverse

Anyone know the next place to look for what might be requesting these, or force them to be generated in turn rather than (it appears) concurrently?

"sabato 24 gennaio mobilitazioni in tutto il mondo per difendere la rivoluzione del Rojava e il progetto del confederalismo democratico. Non è un appello rituale, né una convocazione simbolica. È una richiesta urgente di solidarietà mentre Kobane è di nuovo accerchiata, mentre la linea del fronte si avvicina e l’esperimento politico più avanzato mai nato in Medio Oriente rischia di essere schiacciato sotto il peso combinato di eserciti regolari, milizie jihadiste e cinismo geopolitico."

Amazing. W (I kid you not): A bunch of VC-funded European Big Tech assholes attempting to rewrite history by erasing the federated European alternatives that already exist to create their own centralised, surveillance-ridden X clone.

Same shit, different flag.

And I’m sure the usual fools will flock to it the moment it’s ready.
