For those who advocate for surfing privacy, here comes good news - I just downloaded all required assets from Google APIs to my homepage’s directory, and fucked off all gstatics.com and googleapis.com requests on my homepage. Another good news is a new website of mine, which is written from scratch by me and has a 1990s retro style, is now available! Currently, it is only available as an onion hidden service , but a clearnet site will soon be available on tilde.

WARNING: This article is not for perfectionists who reject non-free JS. Currently, there is no music streaming solution without non-free JS: Libre.fm’s streaming service is currently down, and even Funkwhale will not work with LibreJS enabled; go to your local record shop for music CDs! WARNING: If you are against music recommendation algorithms, you can now close this window: this article is not for you. To be brief: Spotify. What? Aren’t you a free software advocate?

This article explains how I use instant messaging services. Jabber Jabber is my first recommended instant messaging service. I use one Jabber account, which is provided by my mail service provider Autistici/Inventati for all purposes, including private or public communications. Matrix I have 2 Matrix accounts, one for public communications, and the other for private communications. I use Matrix very often; however, if someone can be contacted using either Matrix or Jabber, I prefer Jabber.

Since I promote the use of e2ee communication approaches due to the frustrating experience brought to me by CMCC , I will write a registration guide for the most endorsed libre IM protocol, Jabber. First of All: Jabber and XMPP Usually Refer to the Same Thing Jabber originally referred to the open-source instant messaging protocol that was developed in the late 1990s. Over time, Jabber evolved into XMPP, which is the formalised standard for the protocol.

Otherwise, in some critically special or emergency cases, since today, all emails sent to my mailbox must be OpenPGP-encrypted. My OpenPGP public key can be obtained here . If you don’t encrypt your email with OpenPGP, your email will generally be ignored. Since China Mobile’s censorship on my messages has really hurt me, I began promoting e2ee communication approaches, and gradually stopped using unencrypted communication approaches. Rejecting unencrypted mails is a major step on that journey.

As a free software advocate, I am enraged by the fucking crDroid maintainers as they bundled a fucking proprietary MIUI Camera app in their crDroid builds for some Xiaomi devices. crDroid claimed to be free and open source (I don’t endorse the term “open source” and here I am just referring to their original text), I don’t know why the fuck they did so, and also don’t know who the fuck has given them the courage to bundle that shit.

Hello everyone. Due to my withdrawal from the Free Software Fans community recently, I will no longer use the email service they provide via czl92783719@fsfans.club , and I revoked the identity of this email address from my OpenPGP keys. Please DO NOT send emails to that email address any longer. And if you receive emails from that address, it’s spam or a scam; please add that email address to the blocklist.

Shocked by the immoral and unethical behaviour of Vector Ltd , I decided that from today I will use Jabber over Matrix. My Matrix accounts will remain; however, I will give Jabber more priority than Matrix.

After joining such a wonderful group, the Free Software Fans, which is a group for Chinese free software advocates and offers mail service to its members, I was very surprised to receive a fresh, new mailbox from the group, and it’s czl92783719@fsfans.club . This email address has been added to the homepage of my personal website, and my OpenPGP has also been updated. This will be my second preferred email address, only after czl92783719@autistici.

Frustrated by the censorship imposed by carriers on unencrypted SMS/MMS, as they refuse to send messages containing links to websites outside mainland China, and even worse, eventually blocking my SMS/MMS function, I have decided to no longer endorse the use of SMS/MMS. SMS/MMS has long been the primary communication method for regular people who do not use free software instant messaging services like Matrix and Jabber. However, while SMS/MMS does not require nonfree apps to use, the censorship and surveillance on SMS/MMS are no less than those on proprietary instant messaging services.
