offer: i run a mattermost server (which has a mobile app that does notifications) which i can create arbitrary private channels on, which can receive webhooks. i also run a statping instance on the same server. if you'd like some free offsite service monitoring, i'm happy to set up some icmp or http checks for you and hook them up to a private channel (so you get mobile notifications). inquire via email.
For reference, Apple leaked ~21,000 user accounts of data to the USG in the first half of 2020 without search warrants/probable cause via FISA (aka PRISM, aka FAA702) orders.
TIL Apple had a Section 215 not-a-warrant warrant canary in early 2013, which of course had to be removed from the same reports later in 2013 and onward as it was no longer true.

neat reading, and while i don't subscribe to the sars-cov-2 lab leak theory, it's interesting that the 1977 flu has a lot of the same circumstantial clues around it.
Discord's meteoric rise continues, with even more people jumping on the bandwagon. It's a very bad thing, as Discord is likely going to sell your entire DM history, in plaintext, to their acquirer in a deal for cash and stock in the next 24-36 months.
It's not e2e encrypted. Everything you've ever typed into Discord in a DM is about to become readable to Microsoft or whoever else buys them, tied to your email and phone number and payment card.
i am really bored with the non-programming internet, and i don't have the attention span this quarter to do a lot of programming, and i won't play in the corporate censorship social pool (thereby making it more valuable/attracting others) so please link me to your favorite places on the internet to interact with strangers.
forums, clubs, communities - i miss them, and i know we're still all here, but i won't use twitter or discord or instagram or facebook or youtube.
