Build your own open-source Bitcoin signing device with a Raspberry Pi Zero, camera and display! We have kits for 45€
Seedsigners are open-source DIY signing devices which can be built using "normal" hardware like a Raspberry Pi and act as kind of hardware wallets to sign Bitcoin transactions. Since the hardware is missing a secure element chip, the keys are saved externally, usually via self-drawn QR-codes which are read again for every use via the build-in camera. We brought a few kits with us which we sell for 45€ and build together. We will solder the 40pin GPIO header to the Raspberry Pi Zero, flashing the firmware on the MicroSD card and then build everything together in the 3d-printed enclosure. The kit includes: Raspberry Pi Zero 1.3 (without Wifi or Bluetooth chip), GPIO-header to solder Display-Hat with joystick and buttons Camera 64GB MicroSD card MicroUSB to USB-C cable 3D printed enclosure 6 printed templates for self-drawn QR-Codes

Learn modern OpenPGP with the new RFC 9580 and Sequoia’s sq CLI. In two hours you’ll generate a v6 certificate, create a revocation cert, and practice daily ops: encrypt/decrypt, sign/verify, and publish via WKD/keyservers. We’ll cover Web-of-Trust basics (link vs vouch, trusted introducers, approvals) and note a GnuPG/v4 compatibility path. Optional: quick smart-card demo. Bring: laptop with terminal, email address; Sequoia sq preferred.

Wie wählt man zwischen mehreren Optionen? Und zwar so, dass danach möglichst viele Leute zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis sind? Es gibt mehr Möglichkeiten als nur "die Option mit den meisten Stimmen gewinnt". Wir möchten möglichst viele davon mit euch ausprobieren!

Aufgrund des Supportendes von Windows 10, zielt die endof10-Kampagne darauf ab, Unterstützungsnetzwerke aufzubauen, um Menschen beim Umstieg auf Linux zu unterstützen. Aber wie können die betroffenen Menschen erreicht werden, die vielleicht noch nie von Linux gehört haben?

Free/libre software promotes users' rights, safeguards privacy, individual control over technology and fosters autonomy and decentralisation within our communities. In contrast, proprietary software limits user freedoms leading to centralised monopolies that often misuse their power to oppress and exploit. This imbalance can result in malware, degradation of privacy and service enshitification. Unfortunately, many remain unaware of the unjustices created by proprietary software, but increased ...
