Introduction

Changes in the way of publishing

Version 3.0 of "Notes on Survival in the Age of Digital Totalitarianism" will be released using GitHub Pages instead. The benefits of using GitHub/GitHub Pages over other platforms are:
- Native support for Markdown
- Native support for Git
- Anti-censorship/blocking China's Internet industry is highly dependent on GitHub, and it is not economical to completely block it (GitHub Pages can still be blocked, but at least the repositories that store manuscripts can be accessed without overturning the wall)

Different from the conventional static website construction method based on GitHub Pages, the construction of reconsidera.github.io is completely carried out in the browser, without the use of command line tools throughout the process. This idea of using GitHub Pages "out of the box" stems from the terminus-jekyll-template used by Terminus and its upstream kiko-now and Jekyll Now .

However, Jekyll, the default static website generator of GitHub Pages, does not provide a theme similar to GitBook. Luterngun finally chose VuePress, which is used by many open source projects to produce technical documents, as the generator, and used GitHub Actions to automate the deployment of websites.

Changes in the content of the work

- Adjusted chapter arrangement, divided into breaking through network blockade, resisting information censorship, defending digital rights, and side story
- Added "lazy bag" before the text
- Added new advanced reference tutorial in appendix
- Removed items that haven't been updated for a long time
- Removed projects with limited influence and difficult to popularize
- Indicate whether the recommended software is [free and open source software], or whether it is [public source code]
- Referring to the early content of the blog on Programming Caprice, increased the weight of the technical principle part
- Corrected some cognitive errors (such as confusion about pre-proxies and bridges)
- Responded to events such as the termination of services by many well-known agency service providers in early 2020 and early 2021, netizens in many places being fined for jumping over the wall, and the Hong Kong police citing the National Security Law to block the Internet.
- No longer treat Hong Kong differently from mainland China (remove Yaji Space Card, and traditional VPNs that are currently available in Hong Kong but can be easily blocked by the authorities)
