🥳 First goal reached: thank you! 🥳
A.E.S. has received a lot of love in this last week, allowing us to reach the first goal of the donation campaign: server costs are now covered! ✅️
Next goal? Adding funny interactive features in the hub! If you want to support a 100% free-software videogame with no strings attached, keep those donations going!

cerco lavoro in una società di informatica che si occupi di software libero, di Linux e di soluzioni open source. Conosco e uso Linux da 30 anni. Ho partecipato a progetti come KDE. Ho tenuto diversi interventi al Linux Day di Roma e Napoli. Conosco bene la rete, bash, pyhon, openvpn, wireguard, ipsec, ecc...
Se anche fosse a Londra o Parigi mi va benissimo, anzi meglio. Sono disponibile da subito.

#Vivaldi believes the web is one of humanity’s greatest inventions: it should be open to everyone & be explorable
A Free & Open Web still exists
The problem we’re trying to solve is global; too many rely on #BigTech services that exploit our data and dominate our digital lives
What began as a shared, open space has become a profit machine for a few tech #Oligarchs
It is time for a #Dugnad or a #DigitalDugnad !!
Vivaldi along with #Norway hosted the #AwayKkt & #Dugnad campaign in Norway and then brought the campaign to #Iceland -- our second home.
But what the [hell*(heck) ((#fsck))] is a Dugnad?
Dugnad is Norwegian[Norwegisch].
DugNad's a #Gem word[WortSchatz(vocabulary)].
It basically means friends, neighbours $ family'll come together when a task is too big to handle alone.
What should we do?
Step 1
Start with yourself:
Use a F/LOSS or Vivaldi.com Browser
Avoid G00gl3
Avoid #Gmail
Store encrypted data on secure serverStep 2
Bring others
Try: https://Vivaldi.Social"We deal with overgrowth in our community gardens, together."
Icelandic Motto: "margar hendur vinna létt verk" (literally: many hands make light work)

Good day all! Upcoming episode of Fireside Fedi!
Special Guest: @[email protected]
I'm the host of the Kalimera Show, a music show I host on the Fediverse both live using Owncast and then as a podcast using Castopod. The basic premise of the show is me playing music from my record collection, gathered over 40+ years and also in my professional life as a sound engineer (currently predominantly working for long running indie label On U Sound)
So don't miss it!
It will happen on 15/07/26 at 16:30 US Eastern Time ( UTC-4 )
