I'm curious to hear from the really opinionated people about the pros and cons of using Cloudflare.

My Pi-hole/Unbound server was down for a few days, and seeing all those ads on the internet felt really weird.

"In the next 10 years, 1.1 billion young people across the Global South will become working age adults. Yet, in the same period and same countries, we are only expected to create 325 million jobs."

🤯 This is staggering... and now, think about what #AI will do to accelerate job cuts... #Capitalism permeates every corner of the world, and we must think about #UBI for our global population, not just in the US or countries pioneering tech.

Wowza the #Internews symposium and @fosdem were amazing - I met lots of smart and passionate new people and have meetings lined up for when I’m back home - but how could I spend my last day in Brussels and not see the René Magritte exhibit?

Here we have a framed artwork displaying a surreal scene with a giant finger pointing upwards towards a floating sphere, with a staircase leading up to the sky in the background. The word “L’avenir” is written at the bottom, meaning “The future.”
In this photograph, we see a framed portrait of a man with a bowler hat, and his face is obscured by a floating pipe. The painting creates a curious blend of the ordinary and the surreal.
This is a framed image featuring a realistic painting of a tobacco pipe on a brown background, with the phrase “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” written below it, which translates to “This is not a pipe.” The painting plays with the concept of reality and representation.

Was just told that I look younger in person than on screen. Win? Or an indication that I should shower before more video meetings in the future?

Nah, I'll just take the win.

🎉 The cases for the Hush Line Personal Server arrived yesterday, and I couldn’t be happier with the result!

We worked with an OEM in Taiwan on a custom-designed, security-focused case for our forthcoming self-hosted tip line product, and what was just a concept is now real!

Only 100 exist, and they’ll go on sale after our security audit, and once all the findings are addressed. 🔥

This image showcases our Hush Line personal server device next to its packaging box. The server is a compact, black unit with ventilation slits and the Hush Line logo at the bottom. To its right stands the cardboard box it comes in, featuring the same logo along with playful iconography related to our product's features. Both items are set against a plain white background, highlighting the simplicity and sleek design of our technology.
In this image, our Hush Line personal server is displayed in the foreground with its display screen on, showing text and a QR code indicating the device's operational status. Behind it, to the left, the server's packaging box is visible, with the "Hush Line Personal Server" label clearly presented. The product and its box are placed on a white surface with a white background, emphasizing the device's active state and the informative packaging.
This image presents a close-up of stacked cardboard boxes of our Hush Line personal servers. The prominent Hush Line logos are visible on several boxes, complemented by playful graphics that symbolize various features of our product. The depth of field is shallow, with the focus on the logos in the foreground, while the background features more boxes slightly blurred, conveying the readiness of our stock for distribution.

Just noticed this cool new (?) feature in Firefox - WCAG color contrast ratios directly in the native color picker tool! 🎨 Great to see @mozilla showing their commitment to accessibility! Well done to the team that shipped such a fantastic idea 👏

I'm exploring the interface design of Hush Line and would love your feedback!

A: Our current UI, viewable here: try.hushline.app
B: An alternative design that uses the full viewport for the form

As a reminder, Hush Line is an anonymous tip line or suggestion box for journalists, educators, or employers.

Any and all feedback is welcomed!

The products we build at @scidsg have deep, personal meaning for me. Hush Line, our lightweight, anonymous tip line, is partially inspired by events I'm sharing here.

This story is about abuse of authority and how I came to blow the whistle as a US Marine.
