soc.octade.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
With threats like Chat Control, local networks are hostile. Standard VPNs won't save you when DPI firewalls easily flag and throttle their handshakes.
Celestride uses VLESS-Reality to hijack trusted TLS 1.3 signatures. To your ISP, you’re just visiting a normal site like Microsoft. Zero logs, passwordless OTP auth.

The EU is re-inventing the wheel with their CBDC. And they're doing a really mediocre job with it.
And why? Because they want to remain in control (and ultimately have the ability to censor).

US Supreme Court ruled police generally need a valid warrant backed by probable cause before using geofence searches for cellphone location data. ⚖️
The 6-3 Chatrie ruling recognizes location records as private, limiting broad geofence warrants and strengthening digital privacy protections. 🔒

Connecticut just overhauled its data privacy law. From July 1, businesses must say if they use your data to train AI, you can ask for a list of who bought your data, and selling the data of anyone under 18 is banned. Where a few states go, more follow.

Privacy, mental privacy and Freedom of Thought (FoT) are the building blocks of civilisation. It's buckling under pressure from centuries of market-based social experimentation. It's failed on all accounts - our planet is fast becoming inhabitable and social structures that keep us safe and secure is fading away - it's time to put the misguided experiment to rest.

Tchap, the French government's messaging app, was breached in June: attackers claim ~13.5GB exfiltrated — 643,000+ messages, 876 rooms with full history, 59,000+ media files.
A breach that size means the server was sitting on plaintext-adjacent history at rest, regardless of transport encryption. The real question isn't "is it encrypted in transit" but "what does the server retain, and for how long." Minimize what's stored, not just exposed.

I now have daily anxiety thinking about the future of the fediverse.
So how do I channel this fear and turn it into something constructive? I'm going back to writing #selfhosting guides for newbies.
It's a great distraction, which gives me a bit of hope. Especially the next guide, which will cover my favorite fediverse software - #GoToSocial (which is powering this instance) - and how to install and configure it. Your own little home on the fediverse! Lightweight and features-packed.
Surely something like this would fall outside the scope of regulation. Right? Right?

Trouble ahead for US data transfers 🧨
The US Supreme Court has overturned the precedent that Presidents can't remove heads of independent agencies at will.
They've taken a sledgehammer to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework on which the UK also depends.
