@djsundog@KitRedgrave it's so weird too, the copy could instead say "automatically curated friends of friends stream driven by what you like, not corporate interests in Keeping you Engaged" and that would have made it sound like a thing that you'd actually want

Holy crap y'all Streisand is an impressive piece of #FLOSS. https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand - If you're running Linux or Mac and can follow instructions *at all* then you can have a VPN set up in 20 minutes that you own and control, using any #cloud provider you like. Great for #privacy and also for evading annoying restrictions like JetBlue blocking everything other than ports 80/443 :) (Gonna tell me I can't SSH? Really? I think not :)

anyways I usually complain about my students, but today, they did a presentation of their work, which when practicing last week was still a disaster but this week they cleaned both app they were presenting and presentation up a lot and did a really good job! well done, students!
