  1. So it's a big news day today for the UK. In the past I would have followed the live feeds, kept up with the interviews and analysis and watched everyone and his dog throw in their opinion. Now, though, for me, it's just slipped in between Mendelssohn and Bizet as a quick heads up. Discernment in the content we consume is so important, and I also haven't wasted this morning and I feel so much better because of it! Simon did a great job 20 minutes later in the news headlines to offer a short summary of key points. That's all I needed. Informed, aware, but still present and engaged in my own life. #discernment #contentawareness #socialmedia #switchoffthefeed #deletethenewsapp #takecontrol #classicfm #danwalker #KeirStarmer

  4. Doing some serious cleanup! 🔥

    Facebook is gone — nothing of value lost. GitHub projects moved to Codeberg — works just fine without a corporate middleman. Instagram is next — won’t miss the pointless ads or the algorithm. ♟️

    Step by step, moving away from platforms that were never built for us. ✂️

    Erase yourself from the internet: How to take back what’s yours with Incogni, December 3, 2025

    Your name, address, phone number, SSN, family information, and even past employment history could be scattered across hundreds, sometimes thousands, of websites you’ve never even heard of. Data brokers, people-search sites, and shady public databases collect and trade your personal details like currency.

    And once it’s out there, it doesn’t just disappear. You need to remove it manually or use a data removal service, such as Incogni, to simplify the process and save yourself a headache.

    Your data’s not theirs to sell

    Article image…

    The unsettling truth is that these companies gather your information without your consent, slap it on a webpage, and often charge others to access it.

    You may have been aware of this before; if not, you don’t have to take our word for it. Google your full name along with your city. You’ll likely find pages listing your phone numbers, family members, home addresses, and other personal information.

    These aren’t harmless listings — they lead to:

    • Spam calls, emails, and texts
    • Phishing scams that use personal details to trick you
    • Stalkers or exes tracking you down
    • Identity thieves building a profile on you

    Why it’s so hard to remove your personal data

    If you’ve ever tried removing yourself from these sites manually, you know it’s a total headache.

    Some bury their opt-out pages deep in fine print. Others make you jump through hoops and prolong the process by asking for more personal information, documents, and signed requests.

    It’s confusing, time-consuming, and deliberately frustrating. Even if you do manage to get your personal information pulled off sites, data broker sites often re-list you after a few months, so you need to continuously monitor where your information is appearing.

  15. Shit like this... Going along committing and pulling to the remote server and then BAM "Nah man"

    Nothing changed on my end, no settings clicked apply no config changes. Just nope. No real resolution possible, just like the joke "Call Google" am I supposed to "Call Microsoft" and ask for the "GitHub Department" to discuss my "Randomly not working account" Nope.

    Time to take control of the means of production fellow workers of the world. I'm migrating everything from GitHub to a local mini-server. I expect to setup many of those little mini-servers here soon. GMKTec, RasPi, who else?
