Not sure if this is the right community, but I didn't see a general one. What search engine do you use? Besides Google increasingly spying on its users, the quality of its search results seems to have gotten significantly worse over the last decade. What search engine(s) do you use?
Same, it's super simple with Docker and you don't even need to fiddle with ports or anything. I should probably try running it at my work PC now that I think of it.. Anyway, duckduckgo has been good to me for all these years.
FOSS thrives in options, and that's just great. There's a compromise between security (i.e. anonymity) and convenience (i.e. speed). This tool focus on the security side. Meanwhile, seedboxes strike a good balance to both. That's the current scenario, there are many ways to share. That diversity provides resilience to the communities ;)
I don't know if it's what you want but on Linux I had guiscrcpy to open my phone screen as a window and control it with my keyboard and mouse seamlessly. Nowadays I have switched to kdeconnect (there's gsconnect for gtk desktops environments)
No, but there are key steps in the installation process that are different. Guiscrcpy uses a binary blob, I'm unsure on how safe it is. Meanwhile, kdeconnect is open source and has many interesting features of their own. (Sending links to open a website between devices, using it in combination with openvpn, and so on..)

Hey hello, self-hosting noob here. I just want to know if anyone would know a good way to host my writing. Something akin to those webcomic sites, except for writing.

This is good advice. Learn about markdown syntax, try Obsidian to write notes that can be interrelated in a network, add drawings, and export selected notes to HTML. You can further stylize all of them with some custom CSS. There are many "content management system" (CMS) like Obsidian does. I'd self host ghostwriter. But just search for a CMS on awesome self hosted list and find something popular that's akin to you for whatever features or underlying tech (e.g. Wagtail for django web devs)
I'm just curious as I've permanently dedicated my laptop to torrenting. I've been too nervous to install anything but the VPN and Firefox on it. Now, I'm curious to mess around with Linux some more, which is what I use on it, but I can't fully test out what all I can do with it without signing into accounts....
How about installing RustDesk server con the laptop? Have you heard about Docker and self-hosting? That's a fun rollercoaster surrounded by rabbit holes ;P GL, HF.
I like the fact that my Android phone records my location timeline from Google Maps, but the fact that this is stored in Google servers creeps me out....
Been there, the issue I encountered is that most other apps would rely on active GPS and drain battery with it. Also, not many apps can access the GPS without a prompt, at least on xiaomi I had that... Maybe it's something to do with their OS customization... Anyway, Ideally you'd like to access in intervals and only wake GPS if other means (e.g. WLAN passive scan of surrounding SSIDs, like google services does) lack certain accuracy.
Many people struggle with usability. It's easy to set things up to get them started, and then you can showcase their use-case. Of course, they need to understand limitations (together with advantages, which you will showcase for sure). The issue is that you might end up providing long term support for them, and you can get tired of it. That's why is good to do this kind of things in community, I have participated in a hacklab and we wrote zines too. This also helped homogenize what we shared and supported, because everyone has their own taste and FLOSS is all about flavors (which is great, but also brings complications)
Oh, one more thing I deem relevant. I have seen many people break this rule: don't recommend software you never used. Go for stable apps that have been long established on whatever their use-case is. The bleeding edge (and hype) can be lethal to newcomers!
Discussion between fellow "expert" hackers about why the latest new distro bundling x, y, and z apps is so cool is one thing and should be differentiated from promoting the adoption of, say, Debian or MX Linux.

Aren't premiunize and realdebrid mentioned in the wiki? I heard of them so many times... Never used them tho. They should work with VPN, or so I thought. And you can pay with paysafecard to be safe about scammers.
Just thinking of ditching nextcloud and its just too much for my family use. All i needis carddav, caldav and file sync. Have a Debian VM running on Scale and was thinking of using Cloudron docker install. Is this the way others are installing on VMs?
For most personal projects, hosting on the cloud may be overkill, but tempting with its supposed ease of use and benefits of scale. Self-hosting is often overlooked as a solution with the benefit of simplicity and cost....
There's a reason why most providers don't allow that feature anymore. It's said that port forwarding is a security risk. Also, qBitTorrent works just fine without it.
I'm looking into hosting one of these for the first time. From my limited research, XMPP seems to win in every way, which makes me think I must be missing something. Matrix is almost always mentioned as the de-facto standard, but I rarely saw arguments why it is better than XMPP?...
Tinode and Snikket should be discussed too. They're server and clients, built upon XMPP and including the many extensions, "XEPs" that an admin would want in order to give their users a modern experience.
Does cloud providers share the IP addresses and the alloted users to these big corps and defect the whole purpose of a privacy frontend? Are there any service (FOSS) that could randomise my servers IP?...
True, but.. First, they get way less data because most JavaScript was cleared out and that cuts tracking by 95% (just to put some figure). Secondly, the idea with those frontend is to have some control (e.g. recommendation algorithm is cleared, or you get to access content without an account, etc.) so, overall there are advantages. Of course, it's a compromise situation.
The default setting is probably showing the menu, up to a duration of some seconds, so that you can choose other OS (e.g. windows as dual boot). Then you probably need to edit a text file and run Update-Grube. Here's an example set of instructions doing the exact opposite (turning off the hiding); hope it helps... https://askubuntu.com/a/1187104
Julia Evans has great articles on everything about Internet. Recently, she started to blog about git. I don't think those are great for beginners but they are great quality. For beginners I would recommend other texts like Atlassian guides (the company behind bitbucket, alternative to GitHub), https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials or the Game ohmygit.org
Can you share what would be a concrete example of the risk taken by running a RM program with a memory leak or dangling pointers? I fail to see, by my own ignorance, the benefit of memory safety everywhere. But I do enjoy the rust rewrites of shell tools because of the ergonomics, speed, and new functionalities. I'm asking because the first thing you mentioned as a benefit was memory safety.
Afaik it's either LTO tapes or a RAIDZ array, I like ZFS on Linux for that matter. Check the TrueNAS Scale distro for example. There are different raid levels, I use raid5..
Maybe the colors were set before syncing? Try adjusting one to a new color, see if that change is synced. It would be silly, but maybe that's the case.
Schleswig-Holstein, Germany's most northern state, is starting its switch from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, and is planning to move from Windows to Linux on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions....
Lol, it took a while to see the mountain. Also, they should sue Microsoft, if data was transfered and stored in US.. AH, no. There's probably the usual default dialog that you click 'Agree' on blindly. Anyway, good news. I hope they invest the money on further development, sponsoring, support, and training of employees.
I thought r/piracy was dead but I see is very active, I don't know if mods changed or something though. Where do you guys think is best to ask questions?
Assuming that is really an issue (depends on who you are, what you're doing, and the motivation of the actor mounting such spying infrastructure), how is it any different on Reddit? First, being closed source and everything, we can't rule out that easier and large scale logging isn't already implemented. Secondly, such actor would probably just pay the API and scrape the same data if not with more details. It would also get extra metadata from brokers, etc.
Ultimately, if you want privacy, I agree that federation is undesired. That's why there are Lemmy instances that block all other instances by default. AFAIK those were from right extremists and pesos, at least judging by the name of their URLs.
Well, on Reddit any party can pay the API prices that are needed to scrape data. So, the paywall. I guess it's some measure... But if you are being tracked by such an actor, your threat model can't really include reddit... It's defeating the purpose. All this is discussion on air.
Oh yes, that's an issue with Lemmy. Edits don't get federated, they stay on the instance. I didn't knew but it makes sense that it's the same with votes.
I believe the issue is that to keep every updated you'd need a far more complex system, like streaming the changes or CRDTs.
