I think after #DEFCON I will invest more time to enhance my #Mastodon alerter for when I am live on #Twitch, and see about how I can do the same with my @matrix server.
I do have to spin up my AWS environment for my cloud labs, and setup Twingate connectors for Zero Trust Network Access. Once I get the restreamer setup, I will work on adding Simulcast to #YouTube and #Owncast or #Peertube (thanks to @DavBot hosting me), but will require reworking my OBS scenes to be compliant with rules.
My goal is to ensure my community can access me on the platforms they desire so I have a simulcast to #Tiktok, #Twitch, #Youtube, and the #Fediverse (with #Owncast and/or #Peertube ) with alerts to my Discord, Mastodon, and Matrix in part to also be a learning experience to see how to interact programmatically with these chat platforms.
These days when I see irrelevant ads on websites or #YouTube, I smile instead of getting pissed, for one simple reason: #Google [most probably] have no idea about my preferences. The downside is that it also suggests BS videos on YouTube.
There is also a conspiracy theory take on this too: Google knows me well, but it choose to show me irrelevant ads just to pretend.
NEW! To me, anyway... from the FutureFiber channel on #YouTube. Soooo funny! And clever. Are you in the chicken nugget at 3am quadrant of summer? Find out here!... "An unhinged summer knitting review."
I literally just got a Donald #Trump ad on #YouTube asking us to donate to him. A criminal billionaire who tried to stage a coups wants ME to donate to HIM. Fuck that guy and the horse he rode in on.
@randahl is fresh air and is somehow both hard hitting and fun. He’s getting established so he’s up top as someone to support first. You need a Patreon Randahl! Take the minimum fees option. https://youtu.be/Z7fsxRI7SHc
@KyivIndependent produces outstanding, best in the world reporting. No joke. See their latest. Here is an earlier one. I’ve moved off Patreon to direct funding once they could take it. https://youtu.be/Mskr4VDxgog
Denys Daydov is the nicest guy you’d ever want as a war correspondent. The best daily source. Patreon for him. https://youtu.be/VKMxugv0RGA

Anders Puck Nielsen is a world class military analyst. When he does speak, I listen. https://youtu.be/OZ-R1WVGwQg
Ryan McBeth. This was the guy who went to YouTube at the start of the assault on #Kyiv, specifically to teach Ukrainians how to kill a tank. Outstanding! Probably had an impact on the war, not kidding, so it would behove you to listen. Check the date on this: https://youtube.com/shorts/e5UsENUts-c
Ukraine Matters. Georgie is one of those people whom you quietly realise is really smart and really plugged in. https://youtu.be/iRLeeG2JIe8
Jake Broe. Smart, clear and common sense. An amazing guy with a big heart. Decided to raise $40k for his 40th birthday. Raised $1.2million. https://youtu.be/0mKrlbZO3qU
Is it me or is Denmark 🇩🇰 really representing this #FollowFriday
If you have a Samsung washing machine, you'll probably be familiar with its self-satisfied "I'm finished" chime — the 40-second jingle that plays when your wash cycle is complete. It's a version of Schubert's "Die Forelle," which was composed in 1817. Now, it's sparked an absurd copyright abuse flag on YouTube, with a Twitch streamer claiming his play-through of Fallout was demonetized because his washing machine finished while he was streaming. Seemingly YouTube's automatic scan had detected the washing machine chime as a song called "Done," which was uploaded to YouTube by a musician known as Audego nine years ago. Albino suggested that YouTube had potentially allowed Audego to make invalid copyright claims for years. Here's more from @arstechnica
I finally found a rare gem of a supporter who cares enough about my fight for abolishing #gender specific #censorship that he goes the extra mile and PUTS UP HIS OWN VIDEO RESPONSES 🤯 Except now he's banned on #youtube from posting for a week, simply for linking to my website toplesstopics(dot)org 🙃 there's nothing whatsoever sksual on my site, literally just links to the "patriarchy unfriendly" versions of my videos I host on Peertube where my heinous female npls are visible as I just sit there talking about whatever, not at all sksual like the MILLIONS of "people who look male" posting top (less) thirst traps on every mainstream platform. I've known YouTube has blocklisted my website for years (and basically anything else I've ever linked to, see toplesstopics(dot)org/banned for hundreds of screenshots of proof), but someone ELSE, an MAN even, getting a week long ban for linking to my website is a new frontier of blatantly misogynistic fascist censorship that I've yet to see crossed.
It's so enraging, because this guy is such a BAMF for not only commenting on my social media posts, but making FULL-A** VIDEO RESPONSES, which is something I've had happen maybe five times ever in the ten years I've been making videos about top freedom. He says he'll still keep making new videos after the ban ends, and I appreciate him more than words can say for doing this. The ONLY way we can EVER convince these capitalist institutions to stop assigning different levels of censorship based on "what gender you look like" is if A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE are VERY LOUD in pointing out the hypocrisy, and dudes like this are precious all-stars in this fight ❤️
