Mastodon, I need your help! As more European countries and orgs look to ditch US technology and move to sovereign or open source alternatives, I'm trying to track these efforts.

So far, I've found more than half a dozen government agencies, cities, orgs, that are embracing digital sovereignty but want to hear about other examples that I've missed. Who else should I be adding to this?

Here's a list of what I have so far:

*Edit: This list is now on Proton Sheets, as I should have seen that coming*

I vibe coded a webapp called Teams Roulette where it joins you to random Microsoft Teams meetings, using Teams meeting links scraped from the internet.

Yet another day in the life of a security consultant.

COO (and vCISO at ‘Client’): We should do NIST CSF assessments. Make it so.
Me and Team: Got it! Here we go, who will be the first client?
COO: We’ll be the first client!
Me: Great!
Me: - Reminder: No wrong answers! The whole point is to see what you have in place when compared to the various domains and controls/requirements identified by NIST.
COO: WOAH WOAH WOAH this is NOT what I wanted. This scope is too broad! We gotta pare this down.
Me: …

60 Minutes Australia has always had some interesting DPRK coverage. This one on fake IT workers is really good. They actually catch a few on the line and talk to them. https://youtu.be/kIcw6vpmAHI?si=qWDQXLnaZKmhMiJK

I’d encourage companies build tabletops around this insider scenario.
