Today I revised the mission statement / overview of #TBOT. What do you think?

Take Back Our Tech (#TBOT) was founded in 2021. We see technology as an extension of human consciousness, an important tool that can be used for good.

Unfortunately technology and its users (us) are under threat of being surveilled and controlled by malicious forces. 90% of the current population rely on abusive software services and companies to communicate who then analyze, monetize, and sterilize our thoughts, words, and ideas.

Take Back Our Tech is here to help. We are an educational movement & community.

Together we'll learn about friendly technology and how to use it effectively across many areas. Desktop, web, mobile, hardware, communications, and much more!

When we are successful at connecting aware users with friendly developers, technologists, and companies it creates an ecosystem in which technology can be used as a force for good.

When this ecosystem grows large enough, it will starve out abusive organizations and their attempts to surveil and control their users.

This leaves us to create a better world where our digital exchange and actions are in alignment with how we choose to live, upholding individual freedom, peace, and collaboration.

We've taken care to design the site so that it uses completely self-hosted solutions, and doesn't leak our readers' information. You may sign up to our newsletter anonymously, and all the content will be free forever.

We post our content on alternative media platforms, such as Telegram, Odysee, Minds, and Hive, please follow us using the links below.

I've been researching more about detoxification & nutrition, and finding ways to change up my favorite foods/drinks.

Instead of having dairy & processed sugar in a coffee drink this morning, I had:

- Black Tea
- Coconut Crystals Sugar
- Macadamia Milk
- A bit of Ghee for richness

Its quite good! I'm going to play around with a few different non-dairy milks to find the one I really like.

I wanna know, how are you changing up your lifestyle?

THEN, Help them install Linux ❤️

Why its better: https://takebackourtech.org/leap-to-linux/

How to install (we recommend Linux Mint at this time): https://takebackourtech.org/installing-linux-from-scratch/

Nowadays instead of searching things on Google Maps, I use FacilMaps (built ontop of Open Street Maps)

Currently doing an international shipping analysis for Above Phone.

What Search Engine Should I Use: You Don't Really Have To Choose

Many people are now talking about moving search engines now that DuckDuckGo is censoring Russian sites.

The obvious choice (for me) is a meta-search engine like Searx. This is because you can configure it to search whatever search engine you want. Here's a screenshot of the Above Privacy Suite Searx Instance being configured. Your chosen search engine other options all get saved locally!

There are a bunch of public Searx instances available as well:

And lastly, there's a browser extension that'll redirect searches to a randomized Searx instance (makes it harder to tie you to one instance):

Reprogram Your Destiny: Tech Strategy for Parallel Systems - Ramiro Romani (The Greater Reset 3: Integration)

On January 29, 2022, Ramiro Romani spoke at The Greater Reset 3: Integration on Day 4: Take Back Our Tech.

Ramiro Romani is a technologist, activist, educator, and entrepreneur who dropped his corporate career to work on meaningful social movements. He is a core member of the Freedom Cell Network, and co-producer of The Greater Reset. He’s helped grow both of these movements to tens and thousands of people while protecting the privacy of their users. Since then he has began educating and assisting others through his own projects. #TakeBackOurTech is an educational initiative that releases free content on how individuals can increase their privacy and security by using friendly technologies. He’s also launched his own company, Above Agency which recently released Above Phone – a complete privacy phone solution that combines secure hardware, open-source operating systems, and cutting-edge privacy services.

Finally - after half-dozen attempts, clean sweep/wipe, install/reinstall, I got Linux Mint running on the Lenovo laptop. It''s a thin & light model so will be using that on the road.

I got the HP workhorse laptop working 2 weeks earlier, and it will stay on the desktop

- no opt-in, only opt-out
- opt-out only after installation, when tracking already happend
- Telemetry of Firefox is worse than chrome because in Chrome it's an opt-in, while in Firefox it's an opt-out; average users won't opt-out anyway

Great work Mozilla, thats how you violate the GDPR 😁

Working with USBs In The Field
https://takebackourtech.org
Telegram Channel: @takebackourtech

Hey fam! Long time no see, I've been on-site at a construction project for the past week and will be for the next 3 weeks. What are we building?

A hemp house! 🏡

I'm there to record the entire process from start to finish which will eventually be released as a course. I'm using a DSLR camera and capturing plenty of footage, leading up to 40GBs of data a day.

I needed to use USBs to share the footage with my team in the field, not all of whom were using Linux!

Here are some lessons that were refreshed for me when working with USBs:

- Many USBs use a FAT32 filesystem by default, which works across all OSs, but cannot store files larger than 4 GB. (good luck copying large video files)

- There is no file system that covers all OS platforms while still having large file sizes (chart), but the closest would be NTFS, which Windows & Linux can read natively, and macOS can read with use of with ntfs-3g

- You can use GParted to format a drive's partition to a new file system, allowing you to have a cross-compatible USB.

- Lastly, it became painful to copy over files to USB due to the slow write speeds, it was a good reminder that USBs will not even come close to having the write speeds of external HDDs or SSDs.

I hope you use these lessons to setup your external storage before going out into the field, so you can be ready to exchange energy in the form of data!

Hey 🐝 devs! Beechat Gateway test network is up and live!

Beechat Gateway will allow your radio messages to reach other continents over Internet connected anonymous Gateways that take your radio signal and broadcast it over Kademlia.

To install:
Head on over to the Gateway Repo (https://github.com/BeechatNetworkSystemsLtd/BeechatGateway). Download the repo as a .zip file.
The install.sh file in the main folder will install Kademlia and Lokinet. (Tested on Ubuntu and Debian)

To run a Gateway node:
Make sure Lokinet is up and running. Then, navigate to /support_node and run node.py within your terminal.

mr.penguin: The exFAT file system is supported out of the box in any distribution with a 5.4 or newer kernel which included Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Linux Mint 20, Trisquel 10, Arch, Manjaro, and other rolling release distributions, but also Fedora 32+, among many other distributions and releases. Most distributions should basically have support out of the box at this point.

Thanks for all the work you do on the tech end, everyone has an important role. I'm not a techie, but have been able to really transform by moving to above phone, linux, and get off google services all in just a few months with help of you, your team, and #TBOT website. It's allowing me to focus on spreading my passions in non tech things like teaching different mindfullness and meditation practices to others and learning more about plant identification, foraging, permaculture, and food. Love, Brian.

Let's connect in real life!?

Catch me at FloteFest end of April / early May!

I'll be giving a refined version of my TGRIII talk and previews of new content (organic technologies, crypto strats) in store for TBOT.
Of course I'll have units of Above Phone for sale, first edition #TBOT T-Shirts, and free hugs for you ❤️
