In a world of closed doors and coded chains, Where whispers are tracked and freedoms wane, Weixin and QQ—names carved in silence, Enforce secret rules with digital violence. They mask our chats in proprietary shrouds, Censor our truths beneath opaque clouds, Surveillance hidden behind glossy facades, Restricting voices, stifling the odds. Yet in the heart of the open, a revolution sings, Where Matrix and XMPP spread liberated wings— A network of friends, unbound and free,

Hello guys! I have just got access to the ~tilde server tilde.club and became a part of the ~tilde community! At the same time, I also got a new email address from the community, and that is czl92783719@tilde.club . The new identity with the new email address has been added to my OpenPGP key and the key has been uploaded to the OpenPGP keyserver. Feel free to download the new OpenPGP key from the keyserver!

Though my tilde.club request is still pending and the clearnet site is still unavailable currently, the site is now accessible on I2P! It’s already available through the Base32 address xz5fs5yickd6wnikpjmck67yco52igj2zjns7y5wifjgcnfynrpq.b32.i2p now. The shorter address czllfs.i2p is available through the addresshelper and will be distributed to everyone’s addressbooks in the following days.

In the digital realm where connections are made, Weixin emerges, a platform displayed. But why the fuck does this fucking app persist, When freedoms and privacy cease to exist? They fucking monitor each fucking word, Every fucking message, every sound heard. Censorship’s grip tightens the noose, Silencing voices with no fucking excuse. Proprietary chains disguised as threads, Binding our data, fucking with our heads. Harvesting info with each fucking click,

This article briefly introduce how my hardware and software is set up (as of 3/6/25). Regular Computers I own 3 laptops, one at home, and two carried with me. All of them runs free operating system, without non-free firmware, drivers and binary kernel blobs. czl92783719-PC1 This is my primary computer used for various tasks, such as programming, surfing the internet, and listening to music. Model: Lenovo ThinkPad X200 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo P8600 (2) @ 2.

For those who advocate for surfing privacy here comes a 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 request 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 be soon available on tilde.

WARNING: This article is not for perfectionists that 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 won’t work with LibreJS running; Go to your local disc store for music CDs! WARNING: If you are against music recommendation algorithm, you can now close this window: this article is not for you. To be short: Spotify. What? Are you not a free software advocate?

This article explains how I use instant messaging services. Jabber Jabber is my firstly recommended instant messaging service. I use one Jabber account, which is provided by my mail service provider Autistici/Inventati for all purposes, incl. 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 apporaches due to the frustrating experience brought to me by CMCC , I will write an registration guide for the most endorsed libre IM protocol, Jabber. First of All: Jabber and XMPP Usually Refers 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 formalized standard for the protocol.

Otherwise in some critically special or emergency cases, since today, all emails send 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 be ignored, generally. Since China Mobile’s censorship on my messages has really hurted me, I began promoting e2ee communication approaches, and gradually stop using unencrypted communication apporaches. Rejecting unencrypted mails is a major step on that journey.
