I'm trying out pihole and have both my MacBook and Windows PC using it. Can you guess when I powered up my Windows PC?

Too many people don't know that platforms can read their private messages.

That's why we did the hard, slow thing: built our company around end-to-end encryption. So no one can read what you write except you and who you send it to. 🔒🤫

MS BASIC 6502 was one of the platforms I learned BASIC before moving on to Pascal and others. Good to see this open sourced! Brings back some memories..

atproto is like if you could post tweets to your own website and then twitter would be able to draw in all the tweets from across the web into a normal-looking social app

Printed this sweet enclosure for a Raspberry Pi Zero 2w with a waveshare ethernet/usb HAT. Fits perfectly!

End-to-end encrypted means we can't read anything that happens in our app. Your cards, messages, friends--they're yours, not ours. And that's a promise we can't help but keep. 🤐
