Fun weekend project to increase public facing #opsec:

Using OpenPGP.js to encrypt contact form messages client-side, thus being able to receive end-to-end encrypted messages even from strangers who've never heard of PGP:

If you want to do the same and are not a developer, this services makes it easy: https://encrypt.to

<<There's a light in the night sky over Canada that's puzzling scientists. It looks like a white-purple ribbon. It's very hot, and doesn't last long. And it's named STEVE.>>

Please don't solicit or reward requests for #Boosts.

This is a small but insidious debasement of trust and quality wwithin the Fediverse.

I'm still trying to put my finger on just /why/ this is bad, so I'm trusting my gut, mostly. If you look at dana boyd's work, especially on 4chan in Jan/Feb 2018 on Medium, there's much in there.

Meantime, I'm reporting & blocking those requesting boosts, and unfollowing those reboosting them.

Boosting on merit is absolutely OK.

Be good.

RT @hwitteman@twitter.com: That $35 that scientific journals charge you to read a paper goes 100% to the publisher, 0% to the authors. If you just email us to ask for our papers, we are allowed to send them to you for free, and we will be genuinely delighted to do so. https://twitter.com/mantia/status/1013559718759956481

Let's not forget who the real enemies are: sites you are visiting for the first time that give you a notification telling you to sign up.
