As soon as I am legally able to, I am changing my name from Dmytro to Dima. "Dmytro" is basically a document-only name. Growing up, it was only ever used by strict teachers. Everyone else has called me Dima since birth. But now, this legal name essentially functions as a deadname that follows me everywhere. It is completely unpronounceable and unreadable for most people I interact with. The resulting typos in emails and chats are endless - I regularly get addressed as Dymi, Demi, Dymo, or Dema because people have no idea how to spell my actual name based on the legal one. It is exhausting to constantly explain the mechanics of Slavic name shortening, and having to reassure colleagues that no, calling me Dima is not rude or overly informal. It just creates an unnecessary daily social tax and constant friction. #LifeUpdates #NameChange #EverydayStruggles #Fediverse #Blog #Thoughts

Aus aktuellem Anlass: Du kannst kein Opfer einer Messenger-Phishing-Attacke werden, wenn du keinen Messenger verwendest, der auf einer Telefonnummer basiert (auch, wenn es inzwischen Usernames gibt). Was ist nur aus der guten alten E-Mail geworden? Die, die man auch systematisch archivieren kann, wenn es darum geht, dass Politiker Absprachen mit anderen Menschen treffen? Die, die man trotzdem verschlüsseln kann, wenn man sich als Regierung nur nicht immer hinter „Technologieoffenheit“ versteckt, wenn es heißt: „Warum ist das noch nicht eingeführt worden?“ 🔗 #shortpost #blogpost #blog #Signal #Politik #Mail #Verschlüsselung

Static websites are the future. Not every site needs to be dynamically generated. Having a #blog served by a complex CMS like WordPress feels unnecessary after using #11ty . Compute is growing in cost and becoming scarce. Why waste it on sites suited for static generation? Plus, who wants to host a server with a database, a CMS, a bunch of plugins and all the security headaches that comes with it? #SSG #IndieWeb #Blogging

I recently stumbled upon a new privacy-focused email provider called https://atomicmail.io You may have heard of them already. The landing page is very convincing, full of aggressive comparisons to Proton Mail, Tuta, GMail and others. But there is zero information about the people behind the product. Just an anonymous "team of enthusiasts and developers". I decided to do a quick audit of their legal entity. It turns out the registered share capital of this company is exactly €1. Well, that completely clears up any doubts about trusting them with my private data. Absolutely bulletproof. #Privacy #InfoSec #EmailSecurity #TechAudit #CyberSecurity #OSINT #Proton #Fediverse #Blog #Thoughts

Apologetics: Atheism Confuses Me – The Religion That Denies Being a Religion. As I’ve been studying various religions as an elective for my senior year, I have come to the realization that atheism – despite the vehement claims of its followers – is a religion, whether you like it or not. After all, if you look at the definition of “religion,” Google defines it as, “The belief in and worship of a superhuman power or powers, especially a God or gods.” From this definition, though atheism denies the existence of God or other gods and, for the most part, lacks any sort of organization or liturgy (unless you count the Satanic Temple or Church of Satan,) its core tenants rely on the belief in the superhuman powers of nature in varying forms. Just think about it for a sec. Atheists, in their pursuit to deny the existence of God, direct their subconscious need for faith in something beyond themselves to nature and Man’s creation (which Paul talked about in Romans 1.) In the absence of God, they turn to various forms of naturalism, materialism, etc. or a combination of various “-isms,” making those the ultimate forces that run the universe. They even have doctrines (though they wouldn’t call them that) in the form of theories such as evolution. Ironically, though atheists would say that their beliefs are based on science and thus, isn’t blind faith, much less religion, there is very little to support their theories. For example, with evolution, while it’s treated as scientific fact, it’s been shown that often, what’s taught about it in the classroom is faulty at best, completely fraudulent at worst. Further, with the belief that the world randomly exploded into being from nothing, this is faulty as it relies on the belief that things can spontaneously generate from nothing through the power of…well, they’ll have to get back to you on how exactly nature did that. That’s also not mentioning the absurdity of the belief that things could become more complex through chance and time. But don’t worry. The atheists are convinced that as science advances, perhaps we’ll figure out how it happened, maybe through a couple hundred more theories that are ultimately untestable. How this isn’t blind faith in the power of science and various theories is beyond me. Additionally, atheism could be considered a sort of pantheistic religion. Pantheism is the belief that God is one with the universe and vice versa. That means that you, your house, the pebble in your shoe, and what your cat left in the litterbox are all God. In the case of atheism, the reason why I say that it could be considered to be a pantheistic religion is because it treats nature as God. And since humans are a part of nature, man is treated almost on the level of a god in the atheist mindset as the final arbiter of truth. Basically, atheism is a religion in denial that it’s a religion, constantly gaslighting itself and its followers to continue in its delusional belief that it’s purely secular.
