Keyoxide is a privacy-friendly #FOSS to create and verify decentralized online identities.
Since years there have been similar tools like Keybase, but because it is provided as proprietary and centralized one, you are supposed to fully trust that it should work as expected. Keyoxide, on the other hand, is free software, therefore it is possible for anyone to audit, copy, modify the code as you want to, and run it on a server of your choice. (keyoxide.org is maintained and provided by the developers as a public server). The identities you can verify with Keyoxide include: DNS, Forgejo, GitHub, services on ActivityPub, IRC, Liberapay, OpenPGP, Reddit, Twitter, XMPP, etc.
One of the projects which I like to do when I have free time is to localize #FOSS projects which I actually use for myself, to collaborate with my colleagues, etc., into my primary language (Japanese). Localization is an enjoyable experience for me and I'm convinced it is one of the meaningful ways to empower users who are not native English speakers.
Below is the list of the projects to which I have contributed or actively localize on mainly voluntarily basis:
This year I participated #FOSDEM for the first time. FOSDEM is an annual conference of Free and Open Source Software (#FOSS) in Europe, which usually takes place at Brussels, Belgium.
Due to COVID-19 it took place completely online this year, and developers, programmers, lawyers, activists, and citizens like me gathered at chat rooms on #Matrix network, discussed and shared ideas on many themes related to FOSS, from how to write a code to how the free software movement should be progressed today.
