trying to setup my server to connect to internet with ethernet, and work as a router serving internet through wifi connection.
it was easy to do in previous iteration of FB, but now they changed the Networks settings in Setup.

Just stumbled over the stunning talk given by Eben Moglen about behavior, attention, privacy and freedom at #republica19 in May this year.

I really liked his point that it's not required to invent new stuff to fix what's wrong today but "just" to undo stuff that went wrong in last years. Aligned very well with the idea of #indieweb and the fediverse. And he even mentioned #freedombox as a concrete solution.

Can we protect privacy and the planet at the same time?🤔
We put it to the test using:1. @olimex's power-efficient LIME22. The lightweight #FreedomBox server software3. A solar panel
We shared our results at FOSSCON last week. Read about it here: https://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/news/fosscon_2019/

#FreedomBox was born in 2010 in a lecture by Eben Moglen. In the nine years since, FreedomBox has grown from an idea to a software system and a hardware product.

#FreeSoftware has a lot of potential in the developing world.
In rural India, 12 villages use #FreedomBox to host free digital services. Activists have re-purposed old computers into FreedomBoxes, mounted them on posts, and served entire villages with free wi-fi and digital services.
These rural #FreedomBox networks got covered in the Times of India.

Last RT. I participated in crowdfunding #FreedomBox some years ago. Time and again, looking at the sticker I received and put in an external hdd, I thought about what happened to the project. I am happy to see that it is alive and kicking.

@freedomboxfndn I dislike #FreedomBox due to their position in regards to the status towards the freedom of the software, see their take on https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2017-April/007984.html . #OpenSource #FreeSoftware

9 years ago this month, Eben Moglen delivered the oration that started it all: "Freedom in the Cloud."
This speech inspired the #FreedomBox project. Part history of the web and part call to action, this speech continues to orient our community today. It's worth revisiting each year.

Great privacy software exists. But what the world needs next is privacy infrastructure on which to deploy that software.
To make your own infrastructure, just install the free #FreedomBox private server system on a single-board computer.
We like the LIME2 made by Olimex. What single-board computer do you like?
