The Threat Model

Tue, 06 Oct 2020 08:48:45 +0000

LibreTechnica broadly responds to the advents of surveillance capitalism, hyper-consumerism, and other encroachments on our digital rights. These threats are grouped into five domains- one or two of which may be most important to you.

How can I reduce the environmental impact of the technology that I use?

Take a challenge

Three paths to technology freedom

We’ve devised three challenges that will help you liberate your technology and protect your data.

FOSS Challenge

Tue, 06 Oct 2020 08:48:45 +0000

Using free and open-source (FOSS) software is one of the best ways you can liberate your technology. The deeper you go into this challenge, the less dependent you are on commercial software ecosystems like Microsoft and Apple. So let’s begin the FOSS Challenge!

About LibreTechnica

Tue, 06 Oct 2020 08:48:45 +0000

LibreTechnica shares knowledge about technologies developed for the benefit of the commons. By promoting open-source technologies that are free from and resistant to corporate control, government censorship, political coercion, and environmental harm, we can together heighten and sustain the common good.

Privacy Challenge

Tue, 06 Oct 2020 08:48:45 +0000

Digital Privacy is more important now than ever before. Countless concessions of our personal data in exchange for convenient online services have eroded our awareness of what others know about you. By taking this challenge, you can significantly reduce the amount of information that is collected about you and your online activities.

Seeking Contributors!

Tue, 06 Oct 2020 08:48:45 +0000

LibreTechnica spun-off from CryptoParty, the decentralized movement to share knowledge about protecting yourself in the digital space. If you are looking to contribute by writing some guides, designing graphics and branding, building a static site, or organizing, please reach out to us on Mastodon @libretechnica@fosstodon.org. You can also post to General Project Discussion issues page.
