Wanted to check out #Smithereen? Well, now you can! I've just set up a demo server that lets you sign up for a temporary account to play around:
A weird discovery: you MUST have these lines
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
in your nginx virtual host config for certbot to work. Otherwise it would just tell you that it got a 404 while trying to verify your domain.
I'm sure this error message totally makes sense when you see it as part of the code.
Except most people don't read the code for the software they use. And in that case, such an error message feels like I'm being mocked.
Your phone is about to stop being yours.

125 days until lockdown
Starting September 2026, a silent update, nonconsensually pushed by Google, will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with Google, signed their contract, paid up, and handed over government ID.
Every app and every device, worldwide, with no opt-out.
It appears that VKontakte has just killed its largest third-party client app. Even though that app was previously officially approved by VK themselves, and implemented ads and music restrictions.
