DisNews 25.08 - Disroot 十年
当 Disroot 在 2015 年开始成型时，世界似乎正朝着不同的方向发展。人们在谈论气候协议、建设替代方案......顺着同样的浪潮——几乎是一种必要的反应——Disroot 诞生了：我们谦虚但坚定地尝试提供数字工具，这些工具不会将我们的隐私、自由和选择出卖给出价最高的人。现在 10 年过去了，看起来世界已经继续了 螺旋式下降。隐私似乎已成为过去。赞助内容、数字暴露狂和名声美化是新标准。短内容格式已经席卷了世界。人工智能的邋遢正在慢慢占领互联网。虽然这一切正在发生，但仍然有希望。仍然有大量的人无休止地努力创造另一个可能性的视野，编码、测试和托管替代方案试图远离企业互联网的大部分 世界每天使用。我们很高兴成为这一运动的一部分，并想与大家一起庆祝，简要回顾十年前开始的这一旅程中的一些最重要的里程碑。

2016 年，事情变得更加激烈。当英国投票决定离开欧盟，特朗普准备入主白宫时，我们朝着真正的独立迈出了关键一步。为了真正独立并朝着自我可持续迈出一步，我们决定使用我们自己的硬件来运行 Disroot。全年我们一直在制定基础知识，例如 ToS、网站 内容以及设置基础设施并向平台添加越来越多的服务。我们还从 OwnCloud 迁移到 Nextcloud，加倍投入免费软件。在一个自我封闭的世界里，这个项目正在打开大门。

第二年，即 2017 年，整个世界似乎都精神崩溃了——丑闻、抗议活动、#MeToo 运动震动了尘土飞扬的旧建筑。与此同时，Disroot 经历了第一波新用户浪潮——这要归功于 openmailbox-gate——并以增长作为回应：一个新网站、推出 Howtos 和指南网站，也许最重要的是，成为一个正式的基金会。在全球混乱中， 项目正在进行长期挖掘。

2018 年并没有平静下来。毁灭性的野火、大规模的抗议活动，以及仍然在互联网的一个安静角落里，Disroot 继续建设：添加额外的新服务器，关闭我们的 Matrix 实例（一个艰难但必要且正确的决定），以及 Disroot 应用程序的诞生，这要归功于我们的一位 Disrooter Massimiliano 的贡献。这是扎根的一年。

2019 年，当巴黎圣母院被烧毁，数百万人为气候游行时，该项目发生了更多的政治转变。它开始向 FLOSS 项目捐款，最终发布了使命宣言，并欢迎两位关键人物加入核心团队：Fede 和 Meaz。Disroot 不再只是基础设施——它是一个有发言权的社区。

然后是 2020 年。我们能说什么呢？大流行暴露了一切。当政府争先恐后，大型科技平台变得无处不在时，Disroot 与许多其他草根倡议一样，成为了一个避难所。我们关闭了 Diaspora* 实例，启动了COVID19工具包，并开始开发加密电子邮件存储。保护这个词，当其他一切都是噪音时。

2021 年，在疫苗、军事撤军和试图重建自己的世界之间，Disroot 欢迎avg_joe加入核心团队;Muppeth 辞去了他“正常”的日常工作，全身心地投入到这个项目中。铁。Disroot（封闭的侨民的替代品）完全融入了 Fediverse，我们的电子邮件加密项目 Lacre 获得了 NLNET 的资助。Disroot 不再只是做出反应——而是主动构建。

2022 年以俄罗斯入侵乌克兰、能源危机和对倒退的恐惧为标志。然而，在这种氛围下，Disroot 不断完善其生态系统。我们将多年来收到的大量捐款投入到全新的服务器中。我们将网络邮件软件切换到 Roundcube，并在 Disroot.org 基础设施上对 Lacre（邮箱加密）进行了第一次真正的测试。喜欢某人 静静地为长期做准备。

2023 年，当生成式 AI 充斥着头条新闻和公众想象力时，我们的项目做出了一个小而重要的举措：我们从 Gitea 迁移到社区驱动的分叉 Forgejo。因为代码开放是不够的——重要的是谁是它的幕后黑手。虽然对于 Disroot 来说，这似乎不那么忙碌，但我们非常关注内部。重新定义我们组织工作的方式，同时也致力于改善基础设施 实施自动化。这也是 Meaz 与 Muppeth 一起执行系统管理任务的转折点。我们不再为单点故障而苦苦挣扎，这一增加提高了我们的生产力，并允许完成更多的工作。

2024 年，也相当激烈。我们推出了几项新服务。我们提供了一个名为 D·Scribe的 Lemmy 实例，链接聚合器和讨论论坛类似于 reddit，但开源且最重要的是联合。我们还部署了 Movim 一个新的 XMPP 网络聊天，并提供了 LibreTranslate的实例。
为了进一步改进我们在 Disroot 上准备和部署更新的方式，我们设置了一个暂存服务器，它基本上是整个团队模拟我们平台的测试服务器，允许我们在更新登陆之前对其进行双重测试。
这就是我们进入 2025 年的方式。而我们又一个坎坷的一年已经过了一半。世界仍然处于紧张状态——加沙、气候、迫在眉睫的选举。但 Disroot 并没有停止。我们比以往任何时候都更有动力和决心，并将继续努力实现自由开放和道德的互联网，直到最后一个 tcp 数据包！
十年。
十年来，世界发生了变化——但并不总是变得更好。但也是十年来，有些东西团结在一起，重塑了自己，并得到了一致和谨慎的捍卫。Disroot 并不完美。它不会试图成为。但这是必要的奇怪之处之一：一个自下而上构建的网络，非营利性，无所有者，无算法。在当今世界，这就是一些东西。
我们祝您一切顺利，我们很高兴您决定信任我们并使用我们的平台。我们的存在多亏了你！
最后但并非最不重要的一点是，我们要特别感谢所有 FLOSS 开发人员。多亏了您，我们才能在互联网上享受自由。你们才是真正的英雄，我们只是拿着扳手的猴子！我们祝您一切顺利！

英文原文：
When Disroot began to take shape back in 2015, the world seemed to be heading in a different direction. People were talking about climate agreements, building alternatives... and riding that same wave — almost as a necessary reaction — Disroot was born: our modest but determined attempt to offer digital tools that do not sell our privacy, freedom and choice to the highest bidder. Now 10 years in and looks like the world has gone on the downward spiral. Privacy seems to be a term of the past. Sponsored content, digital exhibitionism and glorification of fame is the new standard. Short content format has taken over the world. AI slop is slowly taking over the internet. While all this is happening, there is still hope. There are still ton of people working endlessly to create another horizon of possibilities, coding, testing and hosting alternatives that tries to distant itself from the corporate internet most of the world uses on daily basis. We are happy to be a part of that movement and would like to celebrate with all of you briefly reviewing some of the most important milestones on this journey that began ten years ago.
In 2016, things got more intense. While the UK voted to leave the EU and Trump was getting ready to enter the White House, we took a key step toward real independence. To become trully independent and make a step towards self-sustainability we have decided to run Disroot off of our own hardware. Throughout the year we have been working out basics like ToS, website content as well as setting up infrastructure and adding more and more services to the platform. We also migrated from OwnCloud to Nextcloud, doubling down on free software. In a world closing in on itself, the project was opening doors.
The following year, 2017, the whole world seemed to be having a nervous breakdown — scandals, protests, the #MeToo movement shaking dusty old structures. Meanwhile, Disroot experienced its first major wave of new users — thanks to the openmailbox-gate — and responded with growth: a new website, the launch of the Howtos and guides site, and perhaps most importantly, becoming a formal foundation. Amid global chaos, the project was digging in for the long haul.
2018 wasn't any calmer. Devastating wildfires, massive protests, and still, from a quiet corner of the internet, Disroot kept building: Adding extra new servers, shutting down our Matrix instance (a tough but necessary and correct decision), and the birth of the Disroot app, thanks to contribution from one of our disrooters, Massimiliano. It was a year to plant roots.
In 2019, while Notre-Dame burned and millions marched for the climate, the project took a more political turn. It began donating to FLOSS projects, finally published the Mission Statement, and welcomed two key people to the core team: Fede and Meaz. Disroot was no longer just infrastructure — it was a community with a voice.
Then came 2020. What can we say? The pandemic exposed everything. While governments scrambled and Big Tech platforms became ubiquitous, Disroot— like many other grassroots initiatives — became a refuge. We shut down our Diaspora* instance, launched the COVID19 kit, and began working on encrypted email storage. Protecting the word, when everything else was noise.
In 2021, between vaccines, military withdrawals, and a world trying to rebuild itself, Disroot welcomed avg_joe to the core team; Muppeth left his "normal" day job to fully dedicate himself to the project. FE.Disroot (replacement to closed Diaspora) became fully integrated into the Fediverse, and our email encryption project Lacre received funding from NLNET. Disroot wasn't just reacting anymore — it was building proactively.
2022 was marked by the Russia's invasion of Ukraine, an energy crisis, and the fear of backsliding. And yet, within that climate, Disroot kept refining its ecosystem. We have invested big chunk of donations we have recieved throught the years into brand new servers. We switched webmail software to Roundcube, and have done the first real tests of Lacre (mailbox encryption) on Disroot.org infrastructure. Like someone quietly preparing for the long term.
In 2023, while generative AIs flooded the headlines and public imagination, our project made a small but significant move: we migrated from Gitea to Forgejo, the community-driven fork. Because it's not enough for code to be open — it matters who's behind it. Although seeming like less busy year for Disroot, we have focused a lot on internals. Redefining the way we organize our work, but also working on improvements of the infrastructure implementing automations. It is also a turning point year where Meaz has joined Muppeth in system-administration tasks. No longer we struggle with single point of failure and this addition has boosted our productivty and allowed for more work to be done.
2024, was also pretty intense. We launched several new services. We have provided a Lemmy instance called D·Scribe, link-aggragator and discussion forum similar to reddit, but open source and most importantly federated. We have also deployed Movim a new XMPP webchat, and provided instance of LibreTranslate.
To further improve the way we prepare and deploy updates on Disroot we have setup a staging server which is basically a test server for the entire team emulating our platform, allowing us to double test the updates before they land on it.
That's how we got to 2025. And we are already halfway through another bumpy year. The world remains on edge — Gaza, the climate, looming elections. But Disroot hasn't stopped. We are more motivated and determined then ever before and will continue to strive for free-open and ethical internet until the last tcp packet!
Ten years.
Ten years in which the world changed — and not always for the better. But also ten years in which something held together, reinvented itself, and was defended with consistency and care. Disroot isn't perfect. It doesn't try to be. But it is one of those necessary oddities: a network built from the bottom up, non-profit, ownerless, algorithm-free. And in today's world, that's something.
We wish you all the best and we are greatful you decided to trust us and use our platform. We exist thanks to you!
Last but not least, we would like to give special thanks to all the FLOSS developers. It is thanks to you we can enjoy the freedom on the internet. You are the real heroes, we are just monkeys with a wrench! We wish you all the best!

[Disroot] - DisNews 25.12 - 我们共享的时间

DisNews 25.12 - 我们共享的时光
随着2025年进入最后几周，我们想祝大家2026年一切顺利，并祝愿精彩的年终庆祝活动顺利！我们祝愿你们和我们自己都能拥有十年开源且道德的企业互联网替代方案。明年也要像我们希望的那样充满成果和喜悦。

我们共享的时光
在我们当前生活的世界里，所有生命最常拥有并共享的东西——时间——已成为稀缺、可交换且可销售的资源。我们在一个衡量、规范并捕捉时间的系统中工作、生产、消费和休息，将其转化为一个经济单位。曾经共享且重要的流动如今被当作商品管理。随着一切似乎加速，我们发现自己的时间越来越少。

我们被各种平台包围，这些平台自称是连接、协作或娱乐的空间，但它们真正的目的是用户的时间。他们不提供服务：他们榨取注意力、数据、免费劳动力和创造力，并将其转化为利润。每一次互动、每一次点击、每一条信息都为他人创造经济价值。在这种不平等的交换中，我们用户不仅提供信息，还付出了数小时的生命。 与此同时，管理这些基础设施的人构建了一个运转良好的时间贩运系统：将大量人力转移给只带来依赖和不稳定的企业。在这种背景下，自主机、自我管理、开放和社区驱动的项目不仅提出了不同的技术模型，也提出了与时间不同的关系。

我们的项目旨在开辟一种不同的空间：一个自我管理的平台，提供免费且开源的服务。我们相信技术可以成为公共利益，而非商品。我们组织时不做广告，不卖数据，也不依赖投资者。但这并不意味着我们脱离了所处的体系：无论项目多么协作或崇高，都无法完全逃脱组织经济和社会生活的结构。

软件可以免费，但人们的时间却不是。维护基础设施、确保安全、支持用户、修复问题、文档记录、学习、协调和改进，这些都需要人力时间。如今，只有五个人几乎完全依靠志愿者维系着这个项目。我们中的一些人会因志愿工作获得一小笔费用，这直接依赖于捐款。这不足以维持生活，但能让项目继续。

这不是给我们所做的事定价;而是认识到我们投入的时间不是抽象的。这些时间本可以用来陪伴家人和自己，而它有价值，因为我们把它投入到共同的建设上。捐赠或参与不是慈善行为;这是一种重新分配时间的方式，支持那些不必以利润或生产力衡量所有事物的空间。

在一个把每一分钟都变成商品的世界里，支持寻求其他组织方式的项目是一种具体的抵抗形式。每一次贡献、每一次参与、每一个集体关怀的举动，都帮助保持了一个空间，让时间能够恢复往昔的样子：我们共享的东西。

今年，我们可能无法达到最初计划的预算。作为核心团队，我们承担起未能推动足够动力的筹款活动负责，并且已经在努力明年做得更好。

我们衷心感谢多年来所有捐赠的朋友。你的支持是项目保持活力和独立的关键。

如果你今年还没机会捐助，我们邀请你考虑小额捐款——哪怕只是一杯咖啡的费用。像我们这样的独立平台的未来直接取决于社区的财政支持。

如果您想了解更多关于我们财务状况的信息，请访问我们的网站。

最后，我们还要表达对 Undernet.uy 项目及其管理员Santiago（@[email protected]）十年来令人钦佩的工作的喜爱和感谢！干杯，圣地亚哥！愿Undernet未来有更多年，以及更多独立、自主管理、社区基础的项目继续抵抗。

冬至快乐，新年快乐，离家者们！2026年见！

[Disroot] - DisNews 26.02 - WTF!

DisNews 26.02 - WTF!
The first month of 2026 is already behind us. It feels heavier than it should — not because time accelerated, but because decisions did.

Across the world, we're watching a familiar pattern re-emerge: power concentrating, rights being rolled back, and repression being normalized under different flags and justifications. This is not a return to "dark ages" by accident, but the result of deliberate political choices.

In this context, we want to express our solidarity with those who are paying the highest price for resisting such choices.

We stand with the people of Iran who have confronted religious authoritarianism and repression, often at the cost of their freedom or their lives. Words are insufficient, but silence would be worse.

We stand with the people of Greenland resisting land-grabbing projects driven by geopolitical ambition and corporate interests, where territory is treated as an asset and communities as obstacles.

We stand with all those who have lost everything under military invasion and occupation — in Ukraine, following Russia's invasion, and in Palestine, under Israel's ongoing assault. Behind every geopolitical narrative, there are lives uprooted, families destroyed, and futures erased.

We stand with those in the United States who have faced imprisonment or deportation in recent months, and with all who oppose a system of enforcement that increasingly relies on fear, detention, and dehumanization as tools of governance.

And while we extend our solidarity to those resisting dispossession and violence, we also want to be clear about where responsibility lies. The oligarchs and billionaires who gathered in Davos last week to lecture the world on "how to live" are not neutral observers. They're active beneficiaries of an economic and political order built on extraction, war, and inequality.

Their prescriptions are not solutions. They are part of the problem.

None of this is inevitable. It's happening because it's being allowed, enabled, and enforced — and therefore, it can also be challenged.

While all that is happening we keep pushing the platform forward and so, we would like to let you know what's new on Disroot.

Finances
After amazing financial support in December which allowed us to reach and even pass the planned budget, we are entering strong to 2026. The 4348 Euro collected in January has suprased all months in 2025 \o/ We are very excited about this and we hope you will keep on suprising us through out the year. We are still working on the budget for this year (yes a bit late we know) but we hope we can raise the bar significantly. Just look at this awesome graph


Deployment 83
As every first Sunday of the month, we have rolled out some of the scheduled improvements on the platform. Here is some notable highlights this time around:

Etherpad
Etherpad has been updated to version 2.6.1 and it brings possibility to migrate your session between browsers. If you use multiple browsers or different PCs for Etherpad they are different sessions. This means typing on one PC and then switching to another one in the same pad will result in different authorship colors. With this new feature you can now transfer your session to another browser or PC. To do so:

open the home page and click on the wheel icon in the top right corner.
After that click through the first dialog prompting you to copy a code to your clipboard.
On your second browser open the same dialog and switch to "Receive Session" tab. There you can paste the code you copied before and click on "Receive Session".
After that your session is transferred, and you can continue editing with the same authorship color as before.
Just be aware that you can't have two active sessions at once in a pad.

Vaultwarden
Vaultwarden, which is our lastest addition to Disroot, has been updated to version 1.35.2. A notable feature introduced to this version is openid single sign-on feature. This will become especially helpful once we switch Disroot to new authentication system as it will allow you to login to Vaultwarden with your Disroot credentials as an option.

Another, nuanced improvement though more on the technical level is immutable releases. Those are releases where the assets and associated Git tag cannot be changed after publication. The use of this type of release increases security by blocking supply chain attacks. Attackers cannot:

Inject vulnerabilities or malware into current project releases.
Make changes to assets and tags that may break developer workflows.
We are very suprised with the amount of people who have decided to make use of the service already. Although working smooth and without issues so far, there is still few things we wanted to work on the setup and provide things like, you know, proper internal documentation (yes, this is our new years resolution: "Write docs or die"), so we keep the beta tag for another month.

Forgejo
Great folks at Forgejo have provided us with yet another update. This time around it's a major version, that besides bug fixes and improvements, brings some new features too:

Search filters - Similar to fitlers in Github, you can now add filters to your issue/PR search such as ispen, is:closed
New web editor - Sometimes it's useful to make a quick edit to a single file via web interface. Previous editor: Monaco has been replaced with simplier one called CodeMirror.
Validation of ssh keys - This improves security where Forgejo upon restart validated authorized keys and will terminate if unexpected keys are found.
Some of you have asked us recently about Actions for Forgejo. At this moment we need to assess resources required to provide runners. This is something that needs a bit more thought to it. Our resources are limited and we need to find a good way to provide them for interesting projects without discriminating others. That said, we will be opening up actions for all those that bring their runners with them in February.

Did you know about Lufi and PrivateBin?
Disroot is mostly known for its email service. However, many people who use it on a daily basis are not aware of the other services we provide. In this section, we would like to introduce some features you may find useful but might not even know exist.

In each newsletter, we will highlight a different aspect of our platform. This month, we start with Lufi and PrivateBin.

At some point, everyone needs to share a file or a piece of text with someone — quickly, simply, without signing up, logging in, or forcing the recipient to do the same. Some of you may have used services like WeTransfer for that purpose. Lufi and PrivateBin offer a similar experience, and more.

These two lightweight services allow you to upload files (Lufi) or share text (PrivateBin) in a straightforward way. Unlike mainstream corporate alternatives, both services are fully end-to-end encrypted. This means that no one — not even system administrators — can access the content, unless they possess the full sharing link. Even in the event of a data breach, your data remains protected.

Both Lufi and PrivateBin feature intuitive interfaces.



You simply upload a file or paste your text, choose how long it should remain available on the server, and optionally protect it with a password. Once the upload is complete, you receive a link that you can share with others. Please make sure not to lose this link, as it is the only way to access the content. No account is required — neither for uploading nor for downloading.

Your files are not scanned, shared with advertisers, used for profiling, or fed into AI training systems.

One feature we are particularly fond of is "burn after reading", which ensures that the file or text is permanently deleted from the server as soon as the link is opened.

So next time you need to send something to someone quick and secure, check lufi and PrivateBin. Bookmark it and enjoy!

See you next month! Take care of yourself and people around you.

[Disroot] - DisNews 26.03 - Google tries to kill Open Android

**DisNews 26.03 - 谷歌试图扼杀开放安卓**

大家好，Disrooters。

好吧。这不再好笑了。二月已经结束，全球局势非但没有好转的希望，反而在三秒内从0飙升到100。我们今年每次发帖都要重复这个梗吗？！

几周前，伊朗人民还在为反抗压迫性的宗教政权而遭受巨大损失，如今却成了美国和以色列在中东戏弄的中心。一场毫无明确目标的 pointless 冲突，最重要的是，其形式绝非旨在帮助受压迫者，而是再次确保海湾地区的石油。

左翼和右翼的政府官员与富人们，卷入了历史上最大的性贩卖和直白的恋童癖团伙，正试图以保护儿童为借口审查互联网。

与此同时，当这一切在台前上演时，回到幕后，谷歌正竭力阻止像 F-Droid 这样的第三方应用商店存在——在那里，所有软件都是开源、自由且合乎道德的。这实质上是在扼杀曾经那个开放平台的独立性。套在我们脖子上的绳索收得飞快。有些人正在奋起反抗，所以请阅读相关内容，看看你是否能为此做些什么来帮助阻止它。

……而这还只是三月？！
我们可以没完没了地讲述事情如何每况愈下，但这可能正是这些天大家在负面信息刷屏时都看到的。我们想说的是，所有那些当权者之所以能影响我们的生活，是因为我们允许他们这样做。我们需要组织起来，帮助创造一个我们愿意看到的、没有苦难、剥削和暴力的世界。我们不能坐等别人为我们做这件事。那永远不会发生。如果不是我们，那又是谁？如果不是现在，那又待何时？

支持你本地的商家、农民、制造商和服务提供商。

让我们看看本月 Disroot 和相关自由软件项目的情况。

**Vaultwarden**
我们服务产品线的最新成员，一个在线密码管理器，已经获得了一系列安全补丁。由于这里发表的一篇论文，过去几周 Vaultwarden 增加了相当多的修复。我们一有新补丁发布就更新到了最新版本。这让我们决定将 Vaultwarden 从 Beta 测试阶段带入更广阔的、可投入生产环境的解决方案之列。我们对众多 Disrooters 大胆尝试这个新密码管理器感到印象深刻，我们向你们的勇气致敬！我们希望你们发现这个新工具像我们一样有用，并喜欢使用它。但请记住，始终确保你有密码的备份副本。尽管它很方便，但如果事情搞砸了，你将一无所有。

**Cryptpad**
Cryptpad 的冬季版本带来了许多日常改进、错误修复，并专注于将底层的 Onlyoffice 应用程序升级到版本 9。
除了 Onlyoffice 更新之外，值得注意的改进包括改进了文档历史浏览，以及重新设计了网盘中的文件夹树视图。更多详情请查看 Cryptpad 的发布说明。

**LibreTranslate**
对于所有尝试使用我们的 LibreTranslate 实例将文本翻译成西班牙语的人，我们有好消息。导致翻译尝试失败的错误已解决 \o/。未来，我们将研究如何提高翻译质量，因为目前的翻译质量并不总是那么好，同时我们或许能腾出一些额外的计算能力用于此。

**Kuma**
如果你在使用我们的某项服务时遇到问题，并且不确定该问题是只影响你还是影响所有人，查看由 Uptime Kuma 项目社区提供的状态页面总是一个好主意。在我们的状态页面上，你可以实时查看服务的健康状况，以及有关问题、计划内或计划外停机、即将进行的维护窗口的任何附加信息。这次值得一提的改进是可见的过往事件历史记录，以及改进后的正常运行时间图表和排序功能。

**Akkoma 和 Forgejo**
我们 Akkoma 的主要前端，由 bdx.town 的友好人士提供的名为 Mangane 的界面，已经获得了一系列错误修复。与 Mangane 一样，Forgejo 团队也发布了版本 14.0.2，引入了许多错误修复。

**被 Hotmail 屏蔽**
微软再次表现不佳。看起来微软那边进展不太顺利。也许是因为用被过度炒作的模型取代了人类员工，过去几周 Hotmail 一直在处理一个问题，即随机域名受到无法解释的屏蔽的影响。尽管这次，与几年前的问题不同，情况在一周内得到了解决。他们用于"发件人域名信誉平台"的一半内部服务已经/正在出故障。我们希望大家都未因此受到太大影响，但如果确实遇到了问题，请务必向我们反映，以便我们调查并尝试解决邮件投递问题。

**二月份财务概览**
二月份的概览看起来不如前几个月那么亮眼。看起来，一年中的第一个月和最后一个月通常是捐款最多的月份。尽管如此，如果过去两个月设定的趋势能持续全年，那就太好了。如果你有闲钱，并且想用一些热乎乎、苦苦的咖啡来支持你心目中世界上最好的管理员们，请不要犹豫。你可能认为你的捐款不会带来任何改变，但每月成千上万杯咖啡就会有所不同。所以下次你喝东西的时候，请记得我们。让我们努力保持一月份的势头吧！

**Jitsi 已禁用**
我们收到很多邮件询问为什么我们的 Jitsi 服务无法访问。也许是时候说明一下了。感谢一位 Disrooter 提醒我们注意，我们发现有一段时间，我们的实例被用来分享可怕的信息。从令人不安的露骨色情聊天室，到儿童色情、暴力和虐待聊天室，不一而足。由于我们实施的特性（任何人都可以创建房间），任何形式的审核都是不可能的。尽管我们尝试通过屏蔽房间、IP地址、房间名称，显示警告来应对这些突然爆发的问题，但参与其中的人似乎非常坚决地要使用这个平台。由于我们已经穷尽所有选项，别无选择，只能禁用 Jitsi。
我们仍未就这项服务的未来做出最终决定。保持开放是不可能的。另一方面，要求登录又让我们怀疑，是否将资源重新导向我们已经提供的 Nextcloud Talk 服务会更好。我们尚未决定这项服务的命运，因此非常欢迎社区提供反馈。我们希望在下一次核心团队会议（4月5日）上做出最终决定。

一群混蛋败类毁掉了一项对其他人来说体面、易用且开放的服务，真是令人遗憾。
对于所有其他的 Jitsi 服务提供商，请密切关注你们的房间。那些人肯定会跳到另一个实例上！

**Mumble**

上周我们提到了 PrivateBin 和 Lufi，作为与他人分享文本和文件的简单、轻量级且安全的方式。在轻量快速服务的范畴内，我们想提请大家注意 Mumble。Mumble 是一个低延迟的语音聊天服务。它简单、快速，并针对在低规格硬件和低网速连接上运行进行了优化。
在在线会议中，你真正需要视频反馈的频率有多高？我们多久会应用滤镜来遮盖身后凌乱的房间，或者穿上衬衫让自己看起来体面，而下面却穿着睡衣？老实说，十次里有九次我们只用音频就完全没问题。这正是 Mumble 大放异彩的地方。一个简单的应用程序，允许你在服务器上创建一个房间，邀请他人，然后在你头发乱糟糟、或者干脆穿着睡衣、不用担心被评头论足的凌乱房间里聊天。
因为 Mumble 非常轻量，它提供了极佳稳定的连接，没有卡顿、冻结以及我们在通话中习以为常的其他烦恼。这是一项经过游戏玩家实战检验的服务，早在 Zoom 还是个想法之前就存在了。你只需要在电脑或手机上安装一个应用程序，一个能用的麦克风，就准备好了。
Mumble 提供了各种各样的选项，但界面并不杂乱。语音聊天所需的一切：按键说话、语音激活、轻松静音、房间管理、音源和质量设置等等。尽管 Mumble 不需要密码和登录，但你可以为你的用户名创建一个证书，这允许你的账户被其他人验证（例如，允许基于证书进行特定访问的封闭房间）。
鉴于其资源占用要求低，Mumble 也是创建社区、简单聚会和大型会议的绝佳解决方案。
我们多年来一直将其用于我们的月度核心团队会议，对它赞不绝口。

所以，下次你需要和别人通话时，如果你看重纯音频的好处和低能耗，Mumble 就是你的不二之选。查看更多信息并试一试吧。我们在虚拟的 Disroot 办公室也有一个向公众开放的"咖啡角"小房间，一些核心成员有时在工作时会待在那里，偶然路过的 Disrooters 会进来聊上几句。

所以，系好安全带吧，因为世界决定要登上一个比以往任何时候都更疯狂的过山车。照顾好自己，照顾好你周围的环境，照顾好你所爱的人。北半球的朋友们，尽情享受春天吧，过去几天春天显然已经透过窗户探进了头；南半球的朋友们，希望你们在过去这个季节晒够了太阳，为即将到来的秋夜做好准备。让我们保持专注，保持活跃，组织起来。艰难时期，创造了巨大的抵抗机会！
为了让你开心点，来看看"管子哥"吧。

下个月见！

DisNews 26.03 - Google tries to kill Open Android
Hi there Disrooters,

Ok. This isn't funny anymore. February has ended and instead of any hope for things on global scene getting any better things gone from 0 to 100 in 3 seconds. Are we going to repeat the meme from last post every time this year?!

Iranian people suffering tremendous loses trying to fight oppressive religious regime just few weeks ago now have become a center of US and Israeli theater in the Middle East. Pointless conflict with no clear objective and most importantly in no shape or form intended to help the oppressed but rather secure oil in the gulf yet again.

Government officials and rich folks left and right involved in the biggest sex-trafficking and straight up pedophile ring in the history are trying to censor the internet under the pretext of protecting said children.

Meanwhile, when all this is going on in the front, back on the sidelines Google is trying their best to prevent existence of third party app stores like f-droid, where all software is open source, free and ethical. Essentially killing the independence of what once has been the open platform. The rope on our necks is tightening very fast. Some people are putting up a fight so please read about it and see if there is anything you could do to help stop it.

... and it's just March?!
We could go on and on about how things get from bad to worse but that's probably what everyone has seen these days while doomscrolling. All we have to say is that all those people in power have influence over our life because we let them do it. We need to organize and help create the world we would like to see, without suffering, exploitation and violence. We cannot wait for someone to do it for us. That will never happen. If not us then who? If not now then when?

Support your local businesses, farmers, manufacturers and service providers.

Let's see what has been going on in Disroot and related free software projects this month.

Vaultwarden
Our latest addition to the service offerings, an online password manager, has gotten bunch of security patches. As a result of a paper published here, there's been quite few fixes added to Vaultwarden the past few weeks. We've updated to the latest version as soon as new patches have been released. This brings us to the point where we decided to bring Vaultwarden out our beta testing onto the wide waters of production ready solution. We are quite impressed with the amount of Disrooters going towards the new password manager solution head first and we salut your bravery! We hope you find this new tool as useful as we do and will enjoy using it. Remember though, make sure you always have a backup copy of your passwords. As convenient as it is, if things go kaboom you will be left with nothing.

Cryptpad
Cryptpad's winter release brings handful of every day improvements, bug fixes and focused on upgrading underlying Onlyoffice application to version 9.
Notable improvements apart from the Onlyoffice update is improved document history browsing as well as redesign folder tree view in the drive. For more details check Cryptpad's release notes

LibreTranslate
For all those who try to use our instance of LibreTranslate to translate text to Spanish we have good news. The bug causing issues when attempting to translate has been resolved \o/. In the future we will look into improving quality of translations seeing as it's not always that great while we might have some additional computing power to spear for this.

Kuma
If you have a problem with one of our services and don't know if the issue affects you or everyone, it's always a good idea to check out the status page provided by the community around the Uptime Kuma project. On our status page you can see in real time the health of the service as well as any additional information regarding issues, planned or unplanned downtimes or information about upcoming maintenance windows. Notable improvements this time around is visible history of past incidents as well as improved uptime graph and sorting.

Akkoma and Forgejo
Our main frontend for Akkoma called Mangane provided by beautiful folks at bdx.town has received bunch of bug fixes. Just like Mangane, the team surrounding Forgejo has released version 14.0.2 introducing number of bug fixes.

Blocked by Hotmail
Microsoft is again not at its best behavior. Looks like things aren't going well at Microsoft. Perhaps due to replacing human staff with over hyped language model counterparts, last weeks Hotmail has been dealing with an issue where random domains have been affected by unexplained blocks. Although this time, unlike issue from few years ago, situation has been resolved within a week. Half of their internal services dedicated to "postmaster domain reputation platform" has been/is broken. We hope you all did not suffer much from the issue, however if you do, please always give us a shout so we can investigate and try to resolve the delivery issues.

Financial overview February
The overview in February does not look as impressive as the previous months. As it seems, the first and last month of the year are usually the ones with the most donations. Still, it would be great to see the trend set by the last two months continue through out the year. If you have a spare change and would like to support your best admins in the world with some warm, dark and bitter coffee, please don't hesitate. You may think your donation will not make any difference but thousands of coffees every month would do. So next time you are having a drink, just keep us in mind. Let's try to keep the January trend going!


Jitsi disabled
We are getting a lot of emails asking for the reason our Jitsi service has not been accessible. Perhaps it's a good moment to address this. Thanks to one Disrooter who drew our attention to it, we have discovered that for some time our instance has been used to share horific information. From disturbing sexual display hangout rooms all the way to child porn, violence and abuse rooms. Because of the nature of our implementation where anyone can create a room, any type of moderation was impossible. Even though we tried to combat the outbursts by blocking rooms, IP addresses, blocking room names, displaying warnings, seems like people involved in this were very determined to use the platform. As we have run out of all options, we had no choice but to disable Jitsi.
We still have not made a final decision about the future of the service. Leaving it open is out of the question. Requiring login on the other hand makes us wonder if it wouldn't be better to redirect resources to already existing Nextcloud Talk service we offer. We have not decided on the fate of the service so feedback from the community is of course more then welcome. We hope to make a final decision on the upcoming core team meeting (5th April).

It's sad that bunch of a-hole predators can ruin a decent easy to use and open service for everyone else.
To all other jitsi providers out there, please keep an eye on your rooms. Those individuals will surely hop on another instance!

Mumble


Last week we mention PrivateBin and Lufi as simple, lightweight and secure way to share text and file with others. Staying within the realm of light and fast services, we would like to bring up Mumble to your attention. Mumble is a low latency voice chat service. It's simple, fast, and optimized to work on low spec hardware and low internet speed connections.
How often do you really need video feedback during your online meetings? How often we apply filters covering our messy rooms in the background or put on shirt to look decent while we wear pajamas underneath. Let's be honest 9 out of 10 times we would be just fine with audio. This is where Mumble shines. Simple application that allows you to create a room on the server, invite others and have a chat in messy room with your hair standing in all directions or just simply wearing pajamas without the fear of being judged.
Because Mumble is so lightweight, it offers great stability connection without friction, freezes, and other annoyances we are so familiar with during calls. It's a battle tested service used by gamers and been around long before Zoom was even an idea. All you need is an app on your computer or mobile, working microphone and you are set.
Mumble offers wide variety of options without too much clutter. All you need for voice chat: push to talk, voice activation, easy muting, room moderation, sound source and quality settings etc. Although Mumble does not require passwords and logins, you can create a certificate for your username which allows your account to be verified by others (for example closed rooms that allow specific access based on the certificate).

Mumble is also a great solution to create community and simple hangout and large conferences given its low resource footprint requirement.
We've been using it for our monthly core team meetings for years and we couldn't recommend it more.

So next time you need to have a call with others, and you value the perks of audio only and low energy footprint, Mumble is the way to go. Check out more information and give it a shot. We have also a small "Coffee corner" room in out virtual Disroot office open to the public, where some of the core members sometimes hangout while working and bump into random Disrooters who pass by and have a little chat.

So buckle your seat belts as the world decided to get on a roller coaster bigger then ever. Take care of yourself, your surroundings and your loved ones. Those in the north, enjoy the spring which clearly has been poking through our windows the past days, and those in the south hope you had enough sun the past season to prepare you for dark evenings in the upcoming fall. Let's stay focused, stay active and organize. Tough times. create great opportunities for resistance!
To cheer you up, check out Pipe guy

See you next month!
