Just in case you are as confused as I am about all of the various Amazon Web Services
Amazon Web Services
To everyone following this the best option I found (at first, wait a second) was GNU Mailman. It had everything you’d want but in typical GNU fashion was basically impossible to get set up on a server in less than the long weekend.
So after sinking three days into poorly documented docker-compose files I just ended up going with groups.io. Took 10 minutes, the free tier is great and it allows private boards.

Developer Pro Tip:
When you copy code from stackoverflow, make sure it's from the answer, not the question.
Anyone have any good mailing list alternatives to Google Groups? Looking to start a new collaboration but I don’t want to require a Google account. Preferably that I don’t have to host myself (but it can be arranged if necessary).

Deployed 82nd Airborne unit told to use these encrypted messaging apps on government cell phones
“Unfortunately, those apps are more secure than texting in the clear, which is more or less the alternative. Granted, if a hostile party has access to the handset, that encryption isn’t particularly helpful.”

Hey FEDIVERSE 🌏
2 people are currently working on an #opensource federated #reddit alternative, called #lemmy.
They need some open source #developers to help them enable the federating function.. #activitypub
BOOST to help development...
Well this is properly terrifying. https://apple.news/ApVBkkFHrTgy2jwx2LQ_5MA
Anyone happen to be unloading a ticket to Shmoocon in DC at the end of the month? Turns out I’ll be in town and would love to join in.
Remember, anyone at #36c3 who's having problems with being overwhelemed, you can always dip out and see "Cats" to remind you it can always get much, much weirder.
Turns out opting out of @JFKairport
's new super creepy (and definitely not secure https://npr.org/2019/06/11/731551123/hackers-grabbed-security-camera-images-taken-at-border-crossing-cbp-says?t=1577356232806) face scanning boarding means you board even earlier because the counter doesn't want to deal. (Also, it takes exactly the same amount of time to scan your pass as your face)
First I should get the hashtag right. Which is probably #36c3
Going to try this federated thing through #3c36 this year and see how it goes. Any good accounts to follow around journalism, Ruby or New York City?

Signal Foundation has ~100M USD assets. And yet Signal Desktop is still annoyingly crappy Electron app.
It literally locks up for a second or two when I write a message longer than 5 characters.
Guys, seriously. Can you please get your shit together.

Ethereum classic blocks rolled back (51% attack)
Looks like spending vast amounts of electricity still isn't enough to get distributed consensus for an e-currency:

In 2014, when Sierra Leone was hit by the Ebola outbreak, three local software developers kept the country's infrastructure working by rewriting it to #FLOSS. They saved hundreds of thousands lives when companies like Google and IBM backed off, calling the project too risky.
And their own recollection of the events with some technical descriptions:
