If you use a VPN for privacy reasons, it might be good to take a look at this:

You might not get the privacy you expect.

Get off Facebook. Get off every Facebook service. Block Facebook. Don't work for Facebook. Don't provide services to Facebook. Find every way you can to get them out of your life and support others in doing the same.

They are ethically indefensible.

@dcid
doing ad for another central service if one central service goes down is probably the wrong way. #matrix is decentralized and open source. IMHO the better way to go.

Facebook's DNS is back:

$ dig +short facebook[.]com
157.240.22.35

$ dig +short www.facebook[.]com
star-mini.c10r.facebook[.]com.
157.240.22.35

Was good while it lasted.

Don't forget #Matrix. That has the advantage of not having one central infrastructure, and we've seen what happens if that goes down...

So @dcid and I are having a debate at the moment.. a very heated one..

Context:

We pushed out the documentation for API's recently and on the page I wrote: "Application Programming Interface (API)"

This led to a multi-day debate and argument on who spells out API... thoughts? It's ok to tell Daniel he is wrong, he is strong..

Web 1.0: Decentralized. Every company hosted their own email servers, sites, DNS, etc.

Web 2.0: Centralized. Controlled by Google, Facebook, Amazon, Slack, CloudFlare and others.

Web 3.0: Decentralized again? I doubt the web2.0 owners will allow it without a fight.
