I am pleased, however, that it works perfectly with our SAML login. Hopefully already supports OpenID Connect for when we switch, but that support may lag behind the server software.

Looks like Mastodon for iOS doesn't support WEB_DOMAIN correctly, which should display @ hellsite.net

Hello friends, welcome [back] to Mastodon. Are you ready to take back control of the Internet? … Good, because we need your help. :)

On Hellsite, you can join our Matrix chat to discuss the future of open communications: :hellsite.net

I am wrestling with OBS et. al. badly enough to consider reinstalling Windows on the gaming rig, but there will be video this week, that's for sure.

Matrix is so embarrassing idk what to do with it sometimes. Been loading just user joins on this Matrix.org room for over a half hour

I've struggled for fifteen years to afford the data storage capacity to keep up with all the video and client data I need to store, so to finally have everything in triplicate -- and now encrypted! -- is a good feeling. I should have gone for SED-FIPS drives, but I think a Xeon build is next up anyway.

I've never been busier in my life, but updates to Hellsite are coming soon.

Getting back in shape…

never mind, honestly, it was as bad today as it's ever been. i really did have to go a full month before consistent improvement last time, and it only took just about as long to return with normal use. maybe smartphones aren't for me any more.

Fourth day banned from the phone, and my vision problems are gradually subsiding. I'm only available for voice chat right now! Even glances at the phone do noticeable damage 😵😵😵

Great piece by @pluralistic on why there is not much practical difference between "state surveillance" and "commercial surveillance." pluralistic.net/2022/08/12/reg

If we can't speak or organize in privacy and security, we have nothing. We can do nothing. It's rolling over and giving up. When you organize activism on Facebook or Twitter, you may as well be collating a report listing all names and transcribing all correspondence for cops, Pinkertons, or feds.

The most motivated and thoughtful people I can find toward these ends are mostly liberals and libertarians already chatting on Matrix, so I feel collectively humiliated for leftists completely ignoring or abandoning this crucial element of praxis, especially this late in the game.

I am still always looking for people to collaborate with on community-controlled communication systems. Where are you?

I hope y'all are ready to get started on the big things. The kind of things you can't safely talk about and organize on corporate social media. The things that actually move society in a new direction. That is the purpose of this website and the legacy of the free Internet.

ooh, this is a good one, it's been down a solid ten minutes so far

Product Idea: UPS for electronics that has a handful of 12V barrel jacks and USB ports with a rack of 18650 holders that you populate yourself.
