   @mmeier
   Lots of good stuff here.

   Yes, writing a complete beginner's guide is hard. It takes dedication and inspiration. Don't beat yourself over it. Some people can do it, some can't. If "intermediate" is your niche, go for it.

   As to self-hosting: I completely agree it's not for everyone, and also it's not possible to do everything. On top of "one person can't know it all", there are financial and social costs for that. Sometimes it's better to just pay someone to do some of the stuff you need, just be mindful of how you select who you're paying to (and why).

   @joynewacc That’s because you’re a wonderful human being, Joy.

   The sad truth is that Gazans are far more likely to be the victims of fraud than the instigators of it.

   As you know, in the time we’ve been running it we’ve had just two families misrepresent their situation to some degree in order to try and get more donations. And now this. Out of close to 130 or so families now.

   Nabil’s extortion attempt, while not pleasant to say the least, is an anomality.

   Here’s to putting it behind us and evolving Gaza Verified so it can do the most good with what little resources we have at hand :)

   #Russia channels happily discussing their rocket attacks on gas and coal processing plants, plant producing high voltage isolators and new water filtering station in #Mikolaiv #Ukraine.

   The first three had been already hit, for the last they are on one hand a bit envious (“we couldn’t build anything like that in Donetsk for 14 years”) and at the same time wondering what kind of bombs can be used to destroy it.

   As a reminder, all of these targets are protected under articles 48 and 51 of the International Humanitarian Law as strictly civilian objects supporting basic survival infrastructure to the population.

   Not that this ever discouraged Russians, who target civilian infrastructure since 2022, but this year Ukraine has means to retaliate. Happy winter to all residents of Russian #Belgorod, #Bryansk and #Rostov regions.

   It's increasingly obvious that Russia funded and supported the Pro-Brexit and now Reform movements. And it worked. But we're not yet doing much to actually counter it.

   As well as this we should be shining a light on Israeli and US influence on UK politics. It's non-trivial and damaging.

   Traditional shitstorm about #Android device attestation in EU Identity Wallet with Age Verification project:

   https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-doc-technical-specification/discussions/19

   Previously, I have commented on the project stating that it’s neither right nor necessary to rely on a single commercial proprietary function (Google Play) for the device attestation and I hold this.

   But in this thread there’s plenty of voices who contest the whole idea of attestation, the argument boiling down to “I own my device and nobody’s going to tell me what to do!!!” which is just as naive as incorrect:

   1. Ownership doesn’t imply 100% control over every single aspect of your hardware. Starting from WiFi hardware enforcing legal transmitting power limits and DFS feature required in your region, because messing with the latter would interfere with tons of other, often safety critical communications, or air traffic safety.
   2. The fact that you own e.g. a car doesn’t mean you are allowed to freely modify its hardware and firmware beyond the legal limits, and this is right because that’s the point where the safety of other road users depends on your brakes, lights etc. So yeah, you can even build your own car from scratch in your garage and control every single bolt in it, but you won’t be allowed to drive it on the public roads - and I’m personally fine with it.
   3. As can be implied from the examples, about the device you own is not always only about you. When you enter mutual legal relationship with another party - be it private individual or the government - both of them want to have assurance about the legal effects of the agreement.
   4. For example, using Polish app mObywatel you can legally sign a binding contract with another private person - and as the other person I don’t want you to sign an intellectual property sale contract with a fake identity from a phone that is really an Android emulator running in China or Russia.
   5. That’s why I, as the other party, I’m interesting in you being forced to use chain of trust as strong as technically as legally possible. If you don’t like it, that’s fine, we can sign the contract in person too.
   6. As far as I’m aware, nobody makes you to “have a phone similar to an ATM”. The argument is that if you want to enter mutually binding legal agreements with assurance higher than today using your phone, then this phone will need to be attested. If you don’t want your phone to be attested, then the status quo remains, you won’t be able to enter these agreements, just like you are today. Sounds fair to me.

   In other words, freedom to tinker - which I generally agree with - ends where other humans are expected to interact and potentially bear consequences of your tinkering.

   WATCH THIS VIDEO CLIP -> 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝘼𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙢 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨—𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙥𝙞𝙚𝙘𝙚.

   In that legendary scene, while everyone else ran for cover, Astaire grabbed an umbrella and turned a downpour into one of cinema's most joyful moments. He didn't fight the rain—𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘞𝘐𝘛𝘏 𝘪𝘵.

   That's exactly what bold leaders do during economic uncertainty.

   While others hunker down and wait for "normal" to return, breakthrough leaders see opportunity in the storm. They don't let volatility freeze their future—they use it as fuel for innovation and growth.

   The data proves it: Organizations that invest strategically during downturns don't just survive—they emerge 30% stronger than competitors who played it safe.

   Your choice isn't whether to face the storm. It's whether you'll cower from it or learn to dance in it.

   As I write: "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴. 𝘐𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘭𝘥." That's what's in my new book, 𝘿𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙖𝙞𝙣: 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝘽𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙂𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙣 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙮 𝙏𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨. It's the powerful guidance you need RIGHT NOW.
