In the actual #GlobalBigDay yesterday I was not much lucky, but today have seen this beauty in #Genova .
Unlike the ubiquitous Kramer parrots here, these ones are more rare and harder to find because of their far more modest behaviour. -
@ldexterldesign I had similar thoughts recently, planning to move away from #Gandi. A couple of options I'm considering:
Domains: #BookMyName https://www.bookmyname.com/
E-mail: #PurelyMail https://purelymail.com/
Both seem to have similar values as I do and are reasonably cheap. My only concern for both is lack of payments in crypto which is kind of important for me.

Today I learned that there is a fork of #MozillaStumbler that is able to work with modern versions of Android: https://github.com/GerryFerdinandus/MozStumbler/releases
It's does not show the map (Mozilla's API token must be expired), looks like a 10-years-old app, but still can do what no other app so far is able to: collect the WiFi AP location data and upload it to Mozilla's MLS!
Now I should walk through the same neighbourhoods where I've already collected cell towers with #TowerCollector earlier 😄

@[email protected] Indeed, it's the only database with WiFi APs. There used to be radiocells.org, but it seems dead.
Btw how do you upload WiFi data? The Stumbler app does not work on modern Android versions, and #TowerCollector (an excellent one otherwise) works only with cell towers... -
#OneWeekOneDistro week8: #ALTLinux.
It is developed by a Russian company which got some state support a few years ago (their distros are supplied to public schools and some state enterprises) but its history starts long before, in late 90s, and it is actually the first Linux flavour I tried in my life, some ~20 years ago. I remember that time it had kernel version 1.x.y...

#PrivacyBadger blocks trackers on web pages based on its own database plus some heuristics. It does break the sites sometimes, but one can always find after a few tries which external domain should be whitelisted - it is implemented in a very handy way.
#ClearURLs cleans the URLs from referral redirects (Google, social networks etc.) so that the browser requests the target page immediately. The worst issue is that I cannot whitelist individual web sites - hope the author will implement it soon!

#DecentralEyes pretends to improve the privacy by replacing some common JS libraries served through CDNs with locally stored copies. Not really sure how important the effect is (e.g. what fraction of all CDN requests is blocked this way), but it never broke any site for me, hence why not?
#HTTPSEverywhere ensures that all sites supporting SSL connection do actually use it. A few years ago I took care to write the rules for my favorite sites myself. Now everything works mostly out of box.
