‘My family held a funeral for me’: Bangladesh’s ‘disappeared’ emerge from secret prisons.

"The latest tactic of pro-Awami League activists in the U.S. is to press the Biden Administration to criticize Bangladesh’s interim government by comparing it to Hamas. This false narrative does not hold up to any serious scrutiny but gains traction with those seeking to influence the Administration’s Middle East Policy. It also feeds into an Islamophobic narrative and deliberately denies Bangladesh’s brave student protesters agency. The interim government will need a proactive strategic communications effort to counter this false narrative."

I’ve made the decision to stop using Spotify again. While I’ve considered setting up a self-hosted Navidrome server as an alternative, I’m currently focused on minimizing my living expenses as much as possible, so that’s not an option right now.

I’ve also shut down all the proxy and VPN servers I was running, after confirming that regular VPNs are working fine for now. My funds are running low, so I’m being very cautious with my spending.

I was running an Akkoma instance at Buddyverse.one, but with only five users who weren’t active, it didn’t make sense to keep it going, so I shut it down. After talking to some people, it seems that Mastodon might be a better fit for what I’m trying to achieve.

I’m currently working on bringing more South Asians, especially Bangladeshis, to the Fediverse. I’m also writing blog posts to help with this, and Buddyverse.one will be back soon—this time using Mastodon with the Mastodon Bird UI theme.

I’m planning to spend around $20/month to run my personal instance, which will also host my blog, techbites.info.

I initially wanted to use WordPress for the blog, but I just can’t ignore how simple and clean Ghost is. The downside is that I won’t be able to publish premium content since Stripe isn’t available in Bangladesh, but I’m okay with that for now.

The situation in Bangladesh is still far from normal. We’ve successfully prevented multiple coup attempts, and there’s a high chance we’ll face another one soon. The amount of misinformation we’re currently battling, much of it coming from India, is overwhelming and beyond our control. I plan to write about these issues tomorrow, InShaAllah.

Your support during these times means a lot to me.

I'm forver grateful to all Hindu brothers & sisters who actively participated (and participating) in the mass student movement and helped us to fight back Indian conspiracy.

@BeAware "tootctl accounts refresh --all" is working 💪

Not sure how to refetch avatars.

After a lot of trial and error, I finally got object storage configured for this instance. I had originally planned to use Backblaze, but ended up going with Linode Object Storage. Unfortunately, the guides I found online didn't work for me, and I also had to make the switch from Caddy to Nginx. I'm thinking about writing a blog post to share my experience.

@BeAware How long it might take?

Mastodon is not refetching avatars and headers I've removed with "tootctl remove" command. Any solution to this problem?

@reiver Yeah! Probably that would be possible if all softwares implement custom domain support.

@reiver Similar to Nostr?
