Last Notes
linux isn't systemd; we have openrc, runit, and many more
android isn't motorola/google/samsung; we have graphene, lineage, f-droid, and more
the people pushing #DeveloperRegistration and #AgeVerification want you to believe there are no alternatives available
that's NOT true, there are solutions out there right now:
flash your phones with an alternate OS
skip the play store, and download apps from open source app stores like F-Droid or zapstore, or even direct download with obtanium (or 'sideload' [install] APKs directly) 📱
linux distros go beyond the ubuntu (with the proprietary snaps anyway) and other ones who ship with systemd
try artix, void, and devuan; use openrc on gentoo instead of opting for systemd 🐧
and hey, there's always BSD 🐡

for someone creating sounds or pictures, webshits are rarely the substance. rather, they're the package. sovereign or not, webshits come and go. Because of a bug, a vc, an unpayed bill, or a superior solution... if myspace taught me anything, it is that the internet is a sand mandala aching to be wiped. i can afford this view, because i consistently archive my creative output: when one webshit dies, i take my shit and package it somewhere else.
good morning!
MOS: The Modular OS That Minds Its Own Business
Meet MOS, a Modular Operating System for #Servers and #Homelabs.
It's what happens when you ask: what if our infrastructure respected us back? Based on #Devuan, built for resourcefulness rather than resource hunger, MOS is a quiet rebellion against the age of appliances that report home, phones that listen, and clouds you can't touch.
What it does:
A clean, modern web interface (Vue + Vuetify) gives you control over:
- Monitoring, storage, and shares
- Users and networking
- Notifications and a web terminal
- Docker, LXC, VMs, all modular, all extensible
What it doesn't do:
- No hidden services phoning headquarters
- No telemetry harvesting your homelab's secrets
- No forced cloud dependencies
- No "you must create an account to use your own server" nonsense
Features arrive as plugins. You decide what runs. The machine belongs to you.
Open source, AGPLv3. REST APIs. WebSockets. The kind of stack that doesn't lock you in, but sets you free.

I think I'm starting to notice some chameleon effect happening among people who interact with ai all day long.
The world is worried about or fascinated by machines mimicking humans, but maybe that concern should be flipped around.
It might be a good time to study up on some shamanism. 😅
Outernational #keyrotationDay: 29th Of February
3 reasons why.
1. With no proper keyrotation mecahnism, 4 years is a good lifetime for a key used daily on the Wild Wild Web.
2. It leaves 2 years for a keyrotation mechanism to emerge before next outernational keyrotation day.
3. If everyome sheds key at the same time, it's easier to keep track each others new key.
Petition to make it an outernational holiday; say yay.
Building is one job, educating is another. The burden of education has been loaded on the back of the builders for too long. UX/UI is great, but often comes at the cost of the user remaining ignorant. The tech world as a whole needs more interdisciplinary cooperation, not just between designers and coders.
It's a slow process, but granted: if we are to become digital societies, we'll have to elevate each other, or we risk never before seen levels of alienation and amounts of clowns.
Live stream of the new ep tonight with videos!

Unfortunately, I spent the entire marketing budget on a new pair of socks but it'll be many fun and much joy imo.
*disclaimer, any lack of fun or joy is clearly a psy-op and should be discounted accordingly, don't let the bastards win. https://mibo.eu.nostria.app/5989d86571bebc5e7b3030fb7619d7a626bbe342e1df655c822461139f5b8f73.webp

Introducing @nprofile…u0gw! 👻
Ghostr is a post delegation tool for short and long-form content.
It’s primarily designed for brands on Nostr, allowing multiple users to create draft posts and submit them to be published. The primary publisher never has to trust anyone else with their nsec.
I made this because it didn't seem to exist yet. It's guaranteed to have bugs. I hope some of you find it useful. Feature requests and PRs are welcome!

#artstr #madeinbr
A couple of years back, my wife announced she was going to take singing classes. I thought it was a great idea, but i never got to hear any. I'd never insisted much on making music with her. I'd want to, though.
As our flat was under renovation, we moved into a much smaller, temporary flat, and I was unable to install my studio. This was early 2021 and i figured I'd explore how far music production software had come on Linux. I was already using Ardour on Linux as a recorder/arranger/mixer, but pretty much none of the virtual synthesizers. I was blown away! The tools were so mature, so abundant! Did i even need my gear anymore? I quickly produced two beats that i proudly played to my wife. And to my delight, she asked if she could sing on them!!!
Thrown over the moon, i complied! Our first two tunes came out sweet, and i will say so myself! The lyrics of the first tune are pretty deep, about relationships with ourselves and fellow peers online, and how easy it is to forget that there's an actual living feeling person on the other side of the WiFi antenna. The second one, my favorite on the album, is much lighter and is a sort of musical postcard from a village in Andalusia that is dear to our heart: Garrucha.
Her name is Lie and mine is Set, and together we're Lies & Sets (Swedish translation of Lie's & Set's :D )
Our first EP is now available on #v4v #Podcast2. Hope you like it!

I made a new noises with a spring, a couple of filters and some echoes, downbeat, dubby, electro stuff.
https://video.mxtthxw.art/w/mH98WqwxoLc518EpSctdTq
If you like the noise, you can save it in a podcast app on the internet or nab the RSS feed ( although not Spotify or Apple lol) and even use boostagrams etc. if that's your thing.
Should display if you search 'inpc - splonk'. I don't intent to put this one out more formally but there's an EP with other tracks coming very soon.
Hopefully the noises find an appreciative ear somewhere on this free and open internet.... The link takes you to the track's homepage. If you like it, you can zap it, it's up to you. There's also a video on my PeerTube, I still need to find an elegant solution for self hosting on Nostr. (And an info welcome in that regard!)
