Israel readies furious response to Macron’s Palestinian statehood push – POLITICO

I am a META employee, and I know for a fact that several corporations are working closely with the United States government.

The U.S. is not a safe jurisdiction.

We're not just targeting criminals or terrorists — we're targeting people. Everyday people. People like YOU — who choose to use a Fediverse site instead of one owned by an American corporation. YOU — who dare to think twice about your privacy and security.

And we're doing this while cracking down on everyone — even celebrities — who speak negatively about Charlie Kirk.

Wake up! You're standing in the fire, and it's time to get out of the building.

Hey #Proxmox community! I would like to hear your thoughts on how you usually update your Proxmox nodes and clusters. How do you handle minor Proxmox and #Debian package upgrades with #APT?

What would you think about a new API endpoint that lets you run unattended upgrades with a simple call like:

/nodes/{node_name}/apt/upgrade
At the moment you need to use the node’s HTML5 console to perform upgrades. Other methods exist such as running unattended Debian upgrade scripts, using patch management tools like #Spacewalk or #QualvoSec, or automating the process with #Ansible over SSH. My idea is to have an API based solution that relies on Proxmox authentication and authorization. This would also allow third party tools such as #ProxLB to provide automated patch management and even handle guest rebalancing in a way that is similar to DRS without requiring direct SSH access.
I have already been running this approach on several internal clusters since the release of PVE 8 without issues. Now I am interested to hear if you would use unattended upgrades in general or if you are already running them today.

𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 is a novel Android app store focused on security, privacy, and usability. We’ve been building Accrescent since 2021 to improve the security and freedom of everyday Android users by providing an alternative to Google Play which doesn’t compromise on technical excellence and protecting our users. Aligned with this mission, over 42,000 people worldwide trust Accrescent to deliver their apps safely. Now, we need your help to continue.⁣⁣

Accrescent has always been free to use because we believe security shouldn’t have to come at a price. We also understand we’re trusted by our users to secure a sensitive and significant portion of their lives — the apps they use — so we’ve built Accrescent transparently, making our code open source so others can run and inspect it as they please.⁣⁣

From the beginning, we’ve been funded purely by donations from generous users who want to sponsor Accrescent’s development and ensure its long-term viability. This approach has so far been successful; incoming donations completely cover Accrescent’s server costs while I (Accrescent’s lead developer) work on Accrescent in my spare time (usually out of my own pocket).

@hosford42 @Em0nM4stodon Of course! Since you're already on Mastodon, the first thing I'd suggest is replacing all Big Tech social platforms with fediverse alternatives. That means Instagram with @pixelfed :pixelfed:, YouTube with @peertube 🚫:youtube:, Reddit with Lemmy 🗨️

📱 Next step - switch from WhatsApp or Messenger to @signalapp :signal: It's a secure, private messenger with end-to-end encryption (E2EE) - actually, WhatsApp is based on Signal's protocol. I also use @matrix 🌐 - it's a decentralized messenger with E2EE too. It works kind of like the fediverse - you choose a server where your messages and data are stored, and when you chat with someone, the servers federate.

:mail_smirk: You should also replace Gmail - it's pure Big Tech. I use Protom Mail :protonmail:, but I'm thinking about switching to @Tutanota. Their company seems more focused on email, while Proton is building a whole ecosystem. Both are encrypted and have great privacy policies 🔒

🌍 Now, about browsing the internet - instead of Chrome or other trackers, I recommend @brave 🦁 It has a built-in ad blocker and blocks tracking scripts. It also protects against fingerprinting and other privacy threats 🚫:eyes_happy:

🔎 And what about search engines? Time to dethrone Google. I use DuckDuckGo :duckduckgo:, @StartpageSearch, and Brave Search. Each has pros and cons, but all claim to protect your privacy.

🔐 You mentioned logging into many accounts with Google :google: - unfortunately, there's no universal way to switch to manual login. You have to check each service's settings one by one. Once you do, I recommend using a password manager that doesn't collect your metadata - @bitwarden 💪 It's open-source, had no major leaks, and you can even host it yourself.

💻 Want to go all in? Replace your operating system. It's a later step, but a powerful one. For desktop - Linux :linux: For smartphone - @GrapheneOS 📱 Both are privacy-focused and offer top-level security 🔐

🚀 Hope this helps you build your long-term path away from Big Tech. If you have questions, feel free to ask!
