🤦🏼‍♂️

70% of Australian children get around the ban. And besides: https://blog.rebeltechalliance.org/sm-ban-bad-idea/

Fair. Or just fill it in with full answers - even better!

Either way we need to let them know that there is opposition to a ban. The questions are worded to herd you towards saying yes to age verification for all 🤬

thank you for this- we included that front ends link on the page 😁

thank you! I like that you suggested irl activities like https://upperstory.com/en/turingtumble/

The point about games is a good one. Free games apps are terrible for collecting location data. Do you (or anyone here) know of a place/collection of open source games? They don’t have to be free (£$ money free) but they would have to be open source to know they’re not data harvesters.

Thank you! Any ideas you have about how we can get the word out are very welcome…

I would assume that Anthropic’s stance is mostly performative. But while people are in boycotting mood they could solve the surveillance problem by quitting ALL big tech products. Here’s our site that lists all the ethical, non-spyware alternatives:

Thank you! Mystery solved… Is there another container that couples Transmission and Wireguard?

I’ve been using that same container, with Mullvad as the VPN. Fine for many months, then recently Transmission won’t surface on localhost… 🤷‍♂️

Seems to be something to do with Mullvad (from the logs) but I don’t understand what. I didn’t change anything 😂

My non-profit the Rebel Tech Alliance is working on a series of blog posts that will look at self hosting for begginners. If you sign up for the blog you’ll get them when they’re published:

Or our main website is at https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/

But really what I’ve got going (if you exclude Transmission) is the simplest stuff. Jellyfin, Calibre and Syncthing are just ‘click and install’ - they are all self contained so they don’t need all that Docker stuff. I suggest just tinkering with them.

Also running Calibre, Syncthing, Transmission and Filen. all on Linux Mint.

I can’t cope with TUI-only OS’s - the command stuff makes no sense to me at all. I’ve learned some of it, and am trying to get Nextcloud running in Docker behind Nginx Proxy Manager, but I can’t work out DDNS yet so… 😂

I was keen on Proxmox or Yunohost, but put off by the fact that they totally replace the OS. I’d be more comfortable with something that runs on the OS, like Docker does.

This is going well for me - Jellyfin etc

Thank you for your help!

We have fixed it - the problem was that I had already set up DNS records so that Tuta could send emails using our website domain. This was blocking the proper set up of mailgun/transactional emails.

So we worked out how to set up emails for the business separately using the SMPT email server of our web hosting provider - et voila! Email set up works!

If only. Most people I know have never heard of F-Droid… Only privacy-savvy people have.

I’d be more worried about having to send gov ID docs - more creepy control by Google.

Contact your representative. And here’s F-droid’s article about it (including how to find your representative at the end of the article): https://f-droid.org/en/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration-decree.html

I bought one for self hosting and flashed it with Linux.

If I install ddclient on my mini-pc is that what you mean by having a server with ddclient?

My Asus router is not shown in their docs as supported - does that matter?

Also - can I just keep using my current domain name registrar, and not use Cloudflare?

That doesn’t seem to be appropriate for a specific domain. Unless I’m reading it wrong.

We need to expose the Ghost blog on a specific subdomain of the domain we own ( blog.ourdomain.org )

doesn’t Tailscale Funnel assign a funky domain name rather than let you use your own?
