Edit: sadly, Auto Tab Discard did not fix my issue. Firefox is also set to block audio (including video with audio to my understanding) by default, which I never changed so I don't think that helps with this issue either....
Given the extistence of technologies like Monero and SimpleX chat, I wonder if it is possible for a truly anonymous content sharing platform to exist? And does it?...
I'd prefer to get a VPN to avoid the risk of my internet getting shut down, but I'm not aware of what the options for Linux are. I figured this would be a good place to ask.
They do have built in DNS protection, it's just not DNS servers controlled by them. You can pick presets from AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc. Or, use your own.
Regarding logging, I'm not sure I understand entirely how it's relevant to a service such as SPN. Have you used Tor and wondered if the nodes are logging? SPN is also an onion router. So, the exit node will not know your origin, even if they are logging. Of course, we could go down rabbit holes about speculative traffic correlation and/or timing attacks, but that's a separate discussion. A large portion of the SPN network is also community operated nodes.
SPN nodes can also be run by anyone without needing a large investment of staked cryptocurrency, unlike another onion router Lokinet. This lowers the barrier to entry for a more diverse number of community contributed nodes to SPN.
These aren't necessarily multiple VPN connections. Instead, every network request is sprayed across the SPN network based upon your desired number of hops and other settings. This means one app might see you as being in Iceland while another in Australia, etc. It bounces every connection around the network. If someone were trying to track you, it'd make it just a little more difficult than a static location connection with a traditional VPN.
SPN has a maximum of 3 hops (same as Tor), unlike Proton, IVPN, Nord, etc that do a dual-VPN, multihop, whatever you want to call it, with only 2 hops.
I've added 2 additional hops via hardware network infra through VPN chaining and I still achieve upwards of 150mbps down on a 1gbps connection with a total of 5 hops. So, I feel the speed achieved considering so many hops is pretty amazing. Of course, depending on the locations routed, may have high ms ping.
Even if you just purchase 1 month, the worst case scenario is you've lost $8. The best case scenario is you've found your new fav open-source Linux network manager with an onion router like me.
Also, if you're worried about logging, you could set up a bulletproof, anon VPS you paid for in cash/crypto from a host who doesn't KYC. Then, set it as a community node, and then configure Portmaster to only accept your SPN entry node as your own VPS. That way, you can know that when you enter the SPN it's through a VPS you've ensured isn't tied to your identity, doesn't log, and is your starting point before being routed through other random locations.
Bitcoin is not a Venture Capitalist controlled, pseudo-decentralized scam. There is no CEO. The rest of crypto are all scams or were built to "fix" a utility that didn't need fixing. Only the money supply and its ownership needed fixing, which is why Bitcoin was created as a permissionless, immutable, decentralized, and deflationary currency. Unlike all fiats, which have been grossly debased in recent years through manipulation by bankers.
No, you're still missing the point. Bitcoin is the only one that was built out of a self-less, cypherpunk cause, to allow the dismantling of central banker's grasp on people's financial sovereignty. The crypto that spun up after bitcoin are all garbage, save for maybe Monero.

Hello, I have seted up my lemmy server couple months back and am loving it. One problem I have with it is that I can't follow individual users so I have been thinking about selfhosting another fediverse service that will satiate my need to follow specific users....
The simplest solution would be to use a Nostr app to create a keypair (aka account). Then add the Mostr.pub relay. This will let you search for ActivityPub users and follow them as if it were a Twitter-style feed.
So I know, I know you're not really supposed to change the domain of an already existing Mastodon server. But I did anyway and set the previous domain as alt domain in config. However, to see content of accounts I previously followed, I need to keep the old domain running. With a redirect in place to the new domain it breaks...
Probably a stupid question, but when signing up for an IPTV service, do you give real details? If not, how do you make them up?! Or do they require real details?
Yup Yup! I've got it uploading objects. It seems to be an issue with fetching them. The hash is either mismatched or it's not correctly trying to grab from the sled repo. So, I get a 500 error in store response. Not really sure how to fix it.
I've been aware of pi-hole for a while now, but never bothered with it because I do most web browsing on a laptop where browser extensions like uBlock origin are good enough. However, with multiple streaming services starting to insert adds into my paid subscriptions, I'm looking to upgrade to a network blocker that will also...

I am wanting to self host a fediverse instance. I don’t hope to make it big. Hoping for 200 users at most, and I won’t advertise it heavily so it’ll probably be a while before it gets there....
You may want to also look at offloading media with pict-rs to a object storage like an S3 API compliant bucket. Otherwise, you’ll find Lemmy soaks up lots of storage.
Ah interesting, thanks. I’ll see if I can find some. That makes sense that it relies entirely upon the users of the instance and what they search/subscribe to. So, as a single-user instance, it’d only show what I venture out to find. Hopefully, the scripts you speak of can help automate some of that.
Seems maybe that tool is a bit different? If you have a new community, you can use that tool to submit it. Rather than the opposite I’m looking for, where it lets me find new communities I’m not yet subscribed to (directly within my homeserver search).
