Hi. 👋

I am JayVii, a data enthusiast with a passion for Free and Open Source Software. I 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:

You can find out more about myself on my website or in my introduction post.

If someone ever tells you they got nothing to hide and do not care about #tracking and #spying by companies or the commercialization of #privacy, show them this:

Techcrunch: Google’s call-scanning AI could dial up censorship by default, privacy experts warn


“From detecting ‘scams’ it’s a short step to ‘detecting patterns commonly associated w[ith] seeking reproductive care’ or ‘commonly associated w[ith] providing LGBTQ resources’ or ‘commonly associated with tech worker whistleblowing.’”

Frage an die #vegan Bubble in Deutschland: kennt ihr außer alpro noch andere Marken, die #Sojadrink/#Sojamilch (oder auch Erbse) mit #Calcium verkaufen?

Bis dato hatte ich noch Alnatura Soja-Alge gefunden, aber die gibt es seit kurzem nicht mehr hier im Handel.

Bei Hafermilch mit Calcium gibt es eine halbwegs breite Auswahl, bei #Soja aber anscheinend fast nichts...

Recently started listening to online #Radio for music rather than using #Spotify et al. and it did really help me find a lot more amazing #metal #metalcore bands and songs.

I highly recommend listening to music only online radio for this use. They are typically pretty good at curating a "playlist" you can listen to all day long.

Na geht doch! Was #ARD und #ZDF hier hier für den #ÖRR beschreiben ist exakt die Grundforderung von #PublicMoneyPublicCode #PMPC

Schön zu sehen, dass die Kampagne immer mehr Früchte trägt. Freie, #Opensource Software #FOSS ist die Zukunft gemeinschaftlich bezahlter Software!

Dabbling with (deploying) #stagit again and reading more into #git hooks is a fun ride! I am quite happy already with https://src.jayvii.de, expanding stagit with a few custom scripts and organising automatic packaging and deployment via hooks

JayVii

I spent the day fiddling with #stagit and (re-) building my #selfhosted, tiny #git server using  my custom adjustment framework. #OpenSource #FreeSoftware

On some days, simple #soulfood is where it's at #vegan

Playing with #Wayfire for the past few days brought back a lot of memories about distro-hopping during the past 11 years of using #Linux.

Although in the meantime I'm not playing with my system(s) so often anymore and pretty much settled on #Debian with the #GNOME desktop (both at work and at home), It is fun to tinker with a minimal compositor like Wayfire again. I'll keep it on my private laptop for a while :) #Wayland

Image description 2: Wayfire's virtual desktop overview showing 6 virtual desktops in 2 rows. On the first desktop in the upper left, one can see a browser window drafting this very post. On the fifth desktop in the lower center is a terminal window showing the cava music visualiser in pink on a black background, which is very similar to the desktops background image.

3.5 books in, I have to recharge my #ebooks-reader I got at the start of December last year. I wish my other devices were so extremely battery efficient
