PRAYER

Lord, there’s so many things I’d like to say to you on this day, You know all of them already, but one thought needs to be said publicly, so I’ll say it here.

We ask You for help and so many other things, we always need from You, and You’re always there listening to our prayers. Today I’ve got nothing to ask, just something to say.

Thank you Lord Jesus, thank you.

Thank you, for being You.

With all my heart,

Jeffrey Peterson.

Iphone users: If you’re using a VPN on your phone, it appears iOS 16 leaks data packets to Apple apps in a non-secure way outside of your VPN tunnel.

Did you recently upgrade your iOS version? Were you forced or harassed by your device until you accepted the upgrade? 🤔

Tech interested friends remember when they promote “low code computer programming”, “easy app builders” and so forth, it’s not because they have our best interests in mind.

It’s because they don’t want us to have meaningful influence or control over our technology. They want us to be peasants who rely on them to build our tech, while we can only fiddle around with the parts of our systems that don’t matter much.

We should not waste our time falling for this deception. Instead, put in the effort to learn a legitimate computer programming language such as C, Python, or Java, which will truly empower you with legitimate skills that you can use to do important & valuable things.

Learning to break away from the emerging government/'big tech' technocracy is one of the most important, healthy things you can do for yourself, now and for your digital future.

On this Telegram channel, we teach you how to eliminate 'big tech' spying and abuses from your life with Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and the Linux Operating System.

Now Bill Gates, talking about “covid,” says, "We didn't understand ... it's a fairly low fatality rate … kind of like the flu.” 🤯

☝️☝️ We can’t trust our digital lives to these psychos. The trust is not coming back. It’s time to GET OUT NOW from big tech software and services. And not just Farmer Gates. All of it. Where ever we can.

If you are one of the several hundred learners enrolled in the Linux for Beginners private course run by this Telegram channel, your invitations for tomorrow's Weekend Linux Workshop (to be held Sat. Oct. 15th @ 5:00pm ET) are being sent out to your email right now! (If you can't be there live, the wekeend workshops are always recorded so you can watch them later on the LMS!)

This week, for our more experienced subscribers, we take a close-up look at The Linux File System vs. Windows Files. What’s the difference using a .pdf file on Linux vs. Windows? What makes the best designed filesystem in the history of technology so much better and more secure? What about other kinds of files, such as pictures, important documents, and saved archives?

Everything you need to know about moving your files to Linux, your new home away from ‘big tech’ software on your computer.

In Unix-like systems, unlike Windows, nothing is hidden. You can know every single thing happening, and take back full control of your computer from 'big tech', once and for all!

If you can't make it to this weekend's live workshop, don't worry, it will be recorded (as always) and posted in our LMS system, for you to view with your login and password, at any time, 24/7.

This is what 5 megabytes of computer data looked like in the 1960’s.

62,500 punch cards … would take a few days to load and process.

Today, even your digital watch, or your portable music player can store much more data than this.

The iPod nano was released in mid-2005. It fit in the palm of your hand and could store 2GB or 4GB of storage, many hundreds of times more data than the pile of punched cards you see above ☝️☝️

Although Apple products started becoming more like spyware in recent years, back in 2005 the iPod seemed pretty harmless 🤷‍♂️

Anyone remember going to Blockbuster to rent a VHS tape for the weekend? 😂

Apparently there is still one open. This picture is of the last remaining blockbuster store. It is in Bend, Oregon.

According to the NSA, if you read the Linux Journal, you might be an “extremist.”

It’s been this way for some time now.

Why? Probably because you’re independent minded, probably because you dare to stand up for your digital rights and move your most important data outside of their “Matrix,” Windows, and the Microsoft “NSA key” (proven to exist).

Computer expert Chris Titus talks about the horrible design of Windows file systems.

It is amazing people have trusted their important documents, pictures and other files to such poorly designed software as Windows, for so many years. Even harder to believe when we start to realize the privacy abuses.

PRAYER

Father God, thank You for reminding us that You are with us every moment and wherever we go. Only You are capable of such incredible presence in our lives. Lead us Lord. Teach us Your ways, and may we know You more and love you better with each passing day. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
