Freedom of the Press Foundation is hiring again :)

This role has more of an administrative bent -- managing relationships with news orgs who use our services, e.g., SecureDrop support & digital security trainings -- but it also includes tier 1 support for SecureDrop, and room for technical advancement.

A great "starter" role if you want to get into tech nonprofit work, are super-organized, & are into digital security in particular. Remote -friendly (US time zones):

Anyway, I am putting a lot of care into the narrative of this, and I'm still not sure if too much. The next section gets into the technical details, but even there we'll have some narrative.

For me personally, I feel that technology is used by people, so it's important to put things in a context where we think about how it may affect people, or allow the reader to think of that, at least?

But some people just want reference documentation I suppose; there's a space for that too.

Please remember that #Git is by nature distributed. So when migrating from (for example) #GitHub to (for example) #GitLab please, please, please do NOT create a brand new repository and git add the files, or the entire commit history will be lost. Instead, just push the existing repository to your new hosting service.

We now support Indieweb's WebMentions on prismo.xyz!
