Technology and Rights are my special interests, but I try to find any news that might get lost

So it seems like CB is still connected

MPs just voted on a motion to remove private schools' £1,700,000,000 tax break. That could pay for free school meals for *all* primary school pupils almost twice over. But Tory MPs voted it down, choosing to protect elite private schools, not improve opportunities for all kids.

Okay so this is slightly #interesting I can no longer see any interactions with my posts. I guess the carmaker is phasing me out. Useful? #Sonar is a anonymous #tor #messenger you use in a browser that takes no personal info at all sonarmsng5vzwqezlvtu2iiwwdn3…

I'm having a rare check-in to make sure I've followed everyone on mastodon I follow here. It seems like I have. As I promised, I won't post now unless I've found something interesting. So I've done some research and come up with an interesting new #e2ee #messenger called #cwtch

I suppose this is goodbye for me. I might move onto #mastodon but I think I'm done here. I think it's fairly likely we'll all be done here by years end. It was never as good as ident.ca but it used to be okay, once upon a time. Life goes on
I need to remind myself when Mr Musk starts overlording us. It's fairly soon now, the emd of an era is nigh

Weird thing. Using #i2p again, first time in a while. Opening peers. Some countries you expect. Germany, India, USA etc. But #Moldova is very well represented too. I didn't expect that #privacy #Anonymous #NetWork #MYSTERY

I wanted to say congratulation to the #Lionesses It's especially sweet to beat Germany in a final. That's not because of anything special about Germany, just we never seem to be able to beat them, so it's broken a psychological barrier. Great football. Great boost. Happy
I found another few interesting #privacy #searchengines peekier.com/ oscobo.com/ yacy.net/ metager.org/
I've been looking at a few private social networks, if that's not a non sequitur. Two I've liked are: Aether getaether.net Retroshare retroshare.cc Very different, both good ideas
I'm trying #manjaro. It's a different prospect to most distros I've tried so far, I think, because it doesn't fit any of the standard #Linux models. It's not an RMP distro or a Debian based distro. It's taking me a while to get a mental map, but I'm getting there
It's amazing how #Anonymous internet use has become so mainstream in 2022. Before my hiatus, this stuff was pretty marginal, but now it's discussed every day reddit.com/r/VPN/comments/vh…
I found an interesting and relatively private #searchengine or three @MetaGer @Searx_engine @hiseekr
How long is it since I posted? I feel like it’s been a while! tmblr.co/ZGmjMyc3lQYLmq00

I've been looking at @mullvadnet a very interesting #privacy VPN. They issue you with a single number for ID. They accept Monero and Cash. And they allow you to create an OpenVPN configuration file so you don't need to install any proprietary software to use it. All ticks!
I have the very realistic expectation, when the new Twitter Don, Mr Musk, takes over, my kind of account will be waved off into the sunset. So, in the very unrealistic hope that anyone here still wants to talk to me, I'll be hanging out on the @matrixdotorg network as rasderry

Well Twitter are just stingy with onion bandwidth. I finally connected to their TOR site again. My useful knowledge for today such as it is is this. @session_app and @BriarApp are two very good new private messengers on the block. Briar has no iOS app. Good ideas both.
Well either Twitter's #TOR site has the most stingy bandwidth allowance ever allowed, or they don't really want us using it. They don't mind you using TOR your side, but they're not going to support it properly. What a hollow #privacy promise?
On my return to the internet, I'm promising myself to post at least one useful thing every day. I don't know if I'll keep it up, or even stay online, but I'll make a start anyway. On testing the biggest engines, the least censored SE results came from @qwantcom and @mojeek

The Republic of Russia is also one of at least 133 countries in the world that have Universal or single-payer healthcare systems something that the media everyone's trusting because a con man called it fake failed to mention and now heads are exploding 🤯 worldpopulationreview.com/co…
