Good afternoon #sdf, #fediverse and #phloggers! Today Discord was down for 30 minutes(as far as I know). This isn't a rant about Discord, however. I just know that millions of people place their trust and their business(like streamers) onto proprietary networks like Twitch and Discord. What happens when proprietary software becomes too big to fail? I don't want to see my fav Twitch streamers lose their business, but I'm worried...

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Saturday, 14-Jul-2018 21:39:58 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good evening #sdf, #phloggers and #fediverse! Once again I would like to point out that I created a tilde, which will be a constant WIP from here on out. It's an intentional community like tilde.town. It runs on a freedombox. I want to promote free software, open hardware and more within it. Right now I have Mumble, IRC and Matrix servers running!
https://tildespark.ddns.net/ikiwiki/tildespark/
All are welcome!

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Friday, 13-Jul-2018 10:33:12 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good morning #sdf, #fediverse and #phloggers! Last night I logged into my SDF account and realized I hadn't updated my homepage in forever. Not to mention my gophersite as well. So I updated my phlog and today will update my homepage.
The thing is, I want to completely revamp my site into one that's lynx friendly(Which it already kinda is) and is less messy with the links. So yeah, I need inspiration!

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Monday, 09-Jul-2018 14:26:57 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good afternoon #sdf + #fediverse + #phloggers ! Still waiting for a distro to replace my Win10 machine! I'm thinking that until I can replace it, I'll use the #freebsd desktop I have.
I'm also thinking that I won't be running a #tilde, #gopher, #irc or any other type of instance atm because in order people to want to come to it, it's gotta be advertised and most people just wind up going to either SDF or tilde.town.
I still plan to use the #freedombox because it's amazing!

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Sunday, 08-Jul-2018 14:29:28 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good afternoon #sdf, #fediverse and #phloggers! Normally I would be playing #dnd right about now, but the DM is out of town.
I am thinking of converting my #freedombox setup to a #tilde, and it should be rather easy to do so. As far as my #BBS goes, I am thinking of retiring that and just using that for a box that runs #syncthing and #gopher!

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Saturday, 07-Jul-2018 14:29:55 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good afternoon #sdf, #fediverse and #phloggers! Do you ever see how many online accounts you have, and realize you've probably been data-mined since the beginning of whenever all that Web 2.0 stuff began?
Not to mention all the security breaches we DON'T know about because corporate doesn't think it's worth telling us about?
So I've decided that I'm getting rid of some of my accounts that aren't needed any longer.

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Thursday, 05-Jul-2018 14:17:10 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good afternoon #sdf, #fediverse and #phloggers! Unfortunately, I am still tied down by proprietary services. I think I can get rid of twitter now, I just need to tell my friends about Mastodon! Next on the hit list is google! Then finally, the big one, facebook.
It's been a long road, but I believe that I will become proof that nowadays you don't need to rely on such services and that, depending on your needs, there's a better solution out there just waiting to be used!

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Wednesday, 04-Jul-2018 15:53:14 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good afternoon #sdf, #fediverse and #phloggers! So I setup my wiki site, and it's on the net. I just need to continue to work on it before I let anyone know where to find it. Also I got a #disroot account! It's awesome that they use #nextcloud, #xmpp and a host of other free software for their site! I would like a #riseup account too, but apparently you need an invite link or something.

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Tuesday, 03-Jul-2018 11:09:00 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good morning #sdf, #fediverse and #phloggers! Still working on the synchronet BBS... also on my wiki dedicated to de-google-fying and decentralization and privacy and so on and so forth.
On another note, my new laptop, the sound wasn't working right, and I figured out that it was driver issues. I fixed it! Sadly tho, I can't switch to Linux just yet because the wireless driver hasn't been integrated into the kernel. It's a Realtek 8723de card.
On the DnD front, I found a campaign to DM! Woo!

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Monday, 02-Jul-2018 11:32:37 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good morning #SDF, #fediverse and #phloggers! I got my freedombox running on the big scary 'net last night, and so far I'm running the #coquelicot, #searx and #syncthing services. It's running pretty smooth so far! As far as my #BBS goes, I'm thinking of also making a website that would advertise it and directs people on how to reach it. In effect, I would like it to be like a #tilde. Fortunately #synchronet offers lots of services that anyone can use. So yeah, that's what I'm up to.

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Saturday, 30-Jun-2018 10:44:35 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good morning #SDF, #fediverse and #phloggers! I ordered another Raspberry #pi since I felt my older one just wasn't cutting it anymore. I'll put a #gopher server and #BBS on the new one coming.
I'm thinking of experimenting with #arduino, so I wanna know, what kind of things can you do with a arduino and a pi together? Have you peeps done anything cool lately with your pis and arduinos?

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Thursday, 14-Jun-2018 15:22:24 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good afternoon #sdf, #fediverse! The #neogeo mini looks fun! And it comes with all my favorite games!

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Saturday, 26-May-2018 09:16:49 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good morning #sdf, #fediverse! So I’m back at my family’s place. They have a win xp machine that’s agonizingly slow. I would like to replace with a fast and cheap Linux machine. I mean, this thing has 512 mb of ram and like 20 gb or less of hd space. Dunno of any good Linux machines that are cheap tho...

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Thursday, 17-May-2018 10:40:44 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good morning #fediverse, #sdf! Today I've watched a Retro Man Cave episode and I've got to say, the dude is impressive in his upkeep of retro electronics. He makes me want to make sure I keep my electronics around as long as I possibly can, game systems and computers. I want to anyway, because I hate planned obsolescence! I just have no electronics education when it comes to hardware and also things like soldering and whatnot. I want to learn tho.

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Monday, 14-May-2018 13:57:46 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good afternoon #fediverse, #sdf! Just got a #mechanical keyboard. It definitely feels different from what I'm used to. I like the feeling of it so far though, and the sound of it too. I'm not a touch typist, I learned typing with Mavis Beacon and keyboarding class a long time ago. Anyways, I hope y'all are having a good day! It's rainy and stormy here, so I just feel kinda sleepy...

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Sunday, 13-May-2018 11:35:01 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good morning #SDF, #fediverse! Hope y'all are doing well, and if you're a mother or a parent, you're getting a celebration!
I know unfortunately some of you have lost your mother, or are estranged or what-have-you, so I know this is also a difficult time. Take care of yourself, you matter.
In any case, I hope everyone has a good day!

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Friday, 11-May-2018 21:28:29 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good evening #sdf, #fediverse ! Gonna play some games tonight, and plan out my #dnd DMing session, although I might not be able to play it until I get back... also going to submit more reviews to lib.reviews! So far I've reviewed the #PS4, so I'm going to review the #nintendo #switch next!
On another note, what open-source/free software projects do you feel need more attention?

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Monday, 07-May-2018 16:25:28 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good afternoon #SDF, #fediverse! I'm continuing to make a list of services, applications and tech that respect your privacy, is free software orientated, is decentralized and many other factors. I consider the list to be in it's starting phase, and eventually I would make to make it it's own wiki, I suppose. I want it to be able to help new, medium grade and advanced users. A sort of encyclopedia, tutorial book and all the rest rolled into one, but about the above!

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Saturday, 05-May-2018 22:04:47 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good evening #SDF, #fediverse! Today I am looking for #BBS that have lots of users to recommend to people, preferably ones with a friendly atmosphere and welcoming attitude! Do they still exist? Also, anyone know any good free #USENET providers and #newsgroups that are still active that are also friendly and aren't filled to the brim with spam? I'm not looking for piracy in the case of newsgroups, btw, so don't send anything related to that. Just social interaction/creativity. Same for #gopher!

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Friday, 04-May-2018 22:11:03 EDT Zed Ex Fuuma Good evening #sdf and the #fediverse!
Do you keep a journal/diary? Do you recommend using something like vimwiki or org-mode for emacs?
