Hi. 👋

I am JayVii, a data enthusiast with a passion for Free and Open Source Software. I am an environmentalist and care about social inclusion & privacy. This is my personal Fediverse server, powered by ktistec. I modified its appearance with my own adjustments.

I typically remove shared posts after ca. 3–6 months. I do keep most of my own posts (for now).

I post about a variety of topics, both in German and English, such as:

I also developed a few tiny & simple self-hostable tools to ease my life (and that of others), such as:

Question to the #LinuxPhone/#PostmarketOS/#PinePhone community: I still have the OG Pinephone from 2020 in a drawer and was playing around with the idea of using it as a semi-#dumphone / less distraction riddled device for day to day usage.

How is the current state of Linux on a Phone and what about this particular device? The PmOS wiki page looks promising,, so does the Debian wiki (which was my main phone OS back then) but I am unsure how well this is maintained. IIRC, it became somewhat abandoned when the #PinePhonePro arrived.

The other day I must have cooked the most true-to-my-origins (and fun to pronounce) dinner in a while. I present: #Dibbelabbes from the #Saarland region. Only with the special Maggie seasoning sauce, applesauce and a Karlsberg beer (alc free here) from the region.

There is typically bacon bits in there, so naturally my #vegan go-to was smoked tofu, which matches really well! #food

Image description: a table with two plates opposite of each other. Both plates are loaded with some golden mix of a scrambled leek, potatoes and smoked tofu as well as some apple sauce. Next to the table is a can of alcohol free beer, some seasoning sauce and a jar of applesauce as well as two glasses of water.

Partner and myself didn't really have the time to cook properly tonight, so instead we made some toast Hawaii (which was planned for another day). I'd say, that's pretty nice! #vegan #food

Image description: two slices of toast on a black plate. On both of them is a thin piece of vegan boiled ham, a round slice of pineapple, vegan cheese and lingonberry jam stacked on top of one another. The cheese melted, such that you can see the form of the pineapple below it. In the centre hole is the lingonberry jam.

Das ist für mich ein wichtiger Schritt, um mein #Paypal-Konto zu löschen ✅

politik, Deutschland: Wahl von Verfassungsrichter:innen

Da steuert die Union mal wieder ohne Not auf einen weiteren Dammbruch zu. Ich bin es so leid...

"Notfalls mit der AfD: Weil die Union nicht mit der Linkspartei reden will, wird es bei den Verfassungs­richter­wahlen am Freitag eventuell auf AfD-Stimmen ankommen."

depol, eupol, FRONTEX

Klar, das ist alles nichts Neues in der menschenverachtenden Migrationspolitik der #EU, aber diese zynische Perversion ist nochmal echt schmerzhaft...

"Ein buntes Abenteuer und ein spannender Start in ein neues Leben. So verkauft die EU-Grenzagentur Frontex Kindern und Jugendlichen ihre Abschiebung in einer perfiden Broschüre. Wen es da nicht schüttelt vor Abscheu, der hat kein Herz."

Depol, Zeitungsartikel über Abschiebepraktiken

Artikel wie dieser zeigen einmal mehr die vollkommene Absurdität von Abschiebungen in Deutschland und die damit verbundenen menschenfeindlichen Praktiken europäischer Regierungen. Das macht wütend...

Abschiebungen in Deutschland: Überfälle des Rechtsstaats (Paywall) [hier mit Geschenklink]

"Die Gewaltanwendung, die Familientrennung, die Abschiebung kranker Menschen, Abschiebungen bei Nacht – all das ergibt das Bild eines inhumanen Systems. Laut Rose dienen Abschiebungen hauptsächlich der Symbolpolitik, für die Migrationsbewegung insgesamt spielen sie kaum eine Rolle. Nur ein bis drei Prozent der nichtdeutschen Staatsangehörigen werden aus Deutschland abgeschoben, weit über 95 Prozent verlassen Deutschland selbstbestimmt. „Daher ist die Zahlenfokussierung bei Abschiebungen in der Politik vor allem auch Symbolpolitik. Für die Betroffenen sind Abschiebungen aber kein Symbol, sondern eine schwere, oft noch Jahre oder jahrzehntelang wirkende Erfahrung“, so Rose."

@parismarx hey, I listened to the System Crash episode from May 23rd yesterday (a little bit behind on my podcasts...), where at some point you briefly talk about search engines you have been trying out, including ecosia and qwant.

Not sure, what else you have tried, so I thought maybe I just throw in two that I have experiemented with and had great success. Perhaps you already know them. But those were not mentioned in the podcast. Until the european Open Search Index is ready, there unfortunately is no perfect solution, but meta-search engines have been the best compromise for me personally until then.

Obviously you still rely on big tech to some extent, but at least you diversify the reliance a little bit. Sometimes, this also takes the form of competitive compatibility, which is a notion I really like towards big tech.

#SearX/#SearXng is of course great and extremely customizable, open source and self hostable (for trying out, here is a German provider: gruble.de).

Personally, I have been using #MetaGer (metager.de), a German meta search engine, for quite a while now. I like the minimal and brutalist-esque UI of it. For me,  it just gets the job done for me, both in my personal life and in my academic life. A little disclaimer here: MetaGer is run by a German NGO, which I joined as a passive member a few months back, because I really like their mission. They also plan to create a new search engine, entirely based on the Open Search Index, called "nolm" (no LLM), which will also find its way as a search provider into MetaGer.

I do have some little gripes with MetaGer, which I remedied with my own flimsy solution stacked on top of it, that  provides  a similar feature like DDG's "Bangs".

Anyways, thanks for the great podcast and this episode in particular, which was very entertaining.

Does anyone have experience with either #Yubikey, #Nitrokey or any other hardware security token for both #MFA/#2FA as well as #encryption via #PGP/#GPG or #SMIME?

In particular, I am looking at the Nitrokey 3A NFC. As far as I can tell, Yubico only sells #MFA tokens(?), unless the YubiKey 5 FIPS Series can hold encryption keys as well?

Both price and open hardware aspect definitely speak for Nitrokey, but I do not know anyone who owns such a token... Anyone who I can talk to?
