Sure, mods will always be necessary when it comes to public/untrusted comms, but just like I don’t want my telco or email provider to decide which/when my TRUSTED contacts can contact me, the same is true for the rest of their speech.

You’re analogous to someone in 2013 arguing that the solution to facebooks crimes/corruption/censorship is to migrate to whatsapp…

Jumping from platform to platform, server to server each time is a bandaid solution which is not censorship resistant, especially against some totalitarian oppressor, and benefits hostile actors the most; fracturing groups into smaller and smaller bubbles. A real fix is a solution (e.g. protocol) that enables users to view a single person/entities/orgs comms regardless of what any middleman decides. The users trust should override anyone else’s.

What happens when the lunatics own the media and social media? Let them remove all evidence of genocide and corruption? Just accept the insanity and authoritarianism?

Although true, the existence of mods is an attack vector the criminally corrupt will always exploit, and every anti-authoritarian should not oppose these systems because they’re currently exploited by the corrupt.

Fascists are buying up all media and social media explicitly to silence opposition, control the narrative, and propagandize (the thing they claim everyone else is doing to them, while being the most blatantly criminal of perpetrators).

I can’t remember the specific protocol, but the one I saw which was most interesting relies on you subscribing to individuals, and building trust through that “social graph of trust”. It’s best to view it as someone owns a domain and you’re subscribing to their rss feed, except they’re identity is cryptographically verified, and the people they engage with have more weight in your feed than those that don’t… as opposed to whatever some technofascist algorithm, oligarch-beholden journalist or corrupt mod (who may very well be a paid operative) deems valuable or worthy of your attention; basically mimicking the way people build relationships in real life (without third party oversight).

9.5 years is ancient in smart home devices.

Though, any company that stops supporting a device should be legally required to open source all dependencies required to operate it, or provide a full refund.

This is why I switched to ZFS with sanoid+ syncoid. Any breaking update or data corruption can be rolled back, giving you the freedom to auto-update with minimal risk.

And if you roll all your dockers on ZFS as datasets + sanoid you can just rollback to the last snapshot, if that ever does happen.

This is why I switched everything to single disk ZFS. The ability to snapshot everything with zero downtime, including data in case I ever misconfig something, as well as replicate all of it to other ZFS drives offsite in the most efficient way possible — including encrypted data without transferring the keys — was a no brainier.

It isn’t a full backup strategy, but it has features that no other backup software can do anywhere near as easily or efficiently.

At this point I just don’t click any links in emails related to my accounts. I go directly to the website and login to perform the action. Emails are just a notification.

Lol. The only thing this setting does is hide the information from the user. Google, or a thousand other data brokers (many probably created by Google for this purpose) still retain that data indefinitely.

Try the web app (PWA). I don’t remember it complaining about http localhost.

I’d also raise that as an issue with the developer. No self host-able app should enforce https. Only warn/notify. There are numerous situations where http is a perfectly fine, permanent solution (LAN/VPN).

FYI super productivity can sync via webdav, and nextcloud has a webdav server.

Noice

Is there any way to exclude US projects, or only pick projects that are non-profit or open-source?

I wouldn’t want to waste energy on something that the Christian Taliban will likely destroy, or benefit from; or go to patented corporate research.

You can map multiple paths to a docker container and under settings > media management > root folders in the arrs.

Review https://trash-guides.info/ and https://wiki.servarr.com/ to see if you can configure things better.

Why wish them the best of luck? I wish their sales to crash and burn.

You can also choose a mesh vpn like tailscale and then you don’t have to worry about ddns or port forwarding at all, ace you can still use a reverse proxy.

Last I heard it was way more than feasible for a normie. Something like 500TB.

The only device or information system that is truly secure is the one that doesn’t exist at all

So basically a browser extension? Actually it would be preferable in the Firefox sidebar vs a standalone site…

Have you taken a look at DailyTxT?
