@schestowitz I don't trust those 'equal opportunity monitoring forms' i feel if you know my age, gender etc then you can easily make your mind up based on that, and then find something else (however small) to use not to hire someone.

Coronavirus: Google reveals travel habits during the pandemic

If google can track you, surely others do too anyway, such as Facebook. Maybe time leave your phone at home. Get a cheap non tracking phone to take out with you.

The @foldingathome
project that has been studying the proteins of SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind #COVID19, saw a 20x increase in demand. Unfortunately, their server infrastructure needs to expand to utilise new volunteer resources. https://mou.sr/2UVIhMx via @hackaday

MIT initiates mass manufacture of disposable face shields for Covid-19 response

Paintbox, another activity in module 1 for #codeclub at Paignton Library. This is cut down but works fine.
@schestowitz I agree, foolish elections can wait, lives matter.
@lightweight Great stuff, have shared, yeah looks like zoom are having issues, a BBC report the other day suggested they were not too pleased about people questioning security. Surely any company would welcome scrutiny and it leads to reflection to make sure everything IS working properly in that respect.

To all the NZ schools out there who're (quite rightly) worried about privacy and security problems with Zoom (not to mention cost) - here's a local community-run alternative that's easy and free: https://nzoss.nz/learnfromhome
@lordalveric Come the election it seems the US has a choice Trump or it seems Biden. Plus a political class more interested in arguing and infighting. Doesn't bode well for the next 4 years really, something has to change with the western political systems.

### FYI The #Feneas Matrix server will go down in a bit for migration to the new cluster
After several dry-runs and some failed attempts, I think we're confident to move things over :P
**IMPORTANT** Final sync of media has already started to the new cluster. Media uploaded between now and the migration may or may not be moved over.
The downtime for the migration will be approx 2-3 hours. If you do want to keep tabs on the migration status, please join using another alias, for example `#feneas:federator.dev`, from another account than 1) feneas.org matrix server or 2) telegram (which goes via the latter).
Server will go down in approx ... 30-45 minutes, depending when the media sync finishes (Synapse needs to be running). Then approx 2 hours of database moving around and importing. If no problems, things should be finished in about exactly 3 hours from now.
