Im on the fedi doin fedi things.


Excellent.


is /e/ OS also safe?


I just have a firewall and call it a day. No more extra services, no extra money, and as long as 80/443 are good externally and a couple of others im good. Its a small server, I dont even have ssh open outside the network.


One of the tools, which was built by Paragon, an Israeli technology company, lets people take control of phones or remotely hack into them to read messages or track locations. The others were built by Penlink, a Nebraska-based software company. They use social media data scraped from the web and information from data brokers to help build dossiers of anyone with a social media account.
ICE’s use of facial recognition software was documented in videos and photos from local activist groups in Minnesota this month and reviewed by The Times. Two photos captured fatigue-clad agents using cellphones to scan the faces of protesters in Minneapolis, while in one video, agents could be heard telling people that they were being recorded with facial recognition technology and that their faces would be added to a database.


I dont like my ISP but it does let me use whatever ports I want for self hosting. Comcast does not without extra fees and even then its very expensive.


Probably. just remember windows 10 is the last OS you will ever need. MS assured us :D


Yep i agree. Although it sounds like its trivial to break lora/tastic encryption from what was discussed online. Ill be honest i never went down that rabbit hole.


Agreed. Im tired after work. Debian/yunohost is good enough.
At work its hundreds of docker containers but all ci/cd takes care of that.


I just have yunohost do like 90% of the work nowadays. My day job is docker/cli so the last thing i want to do is more of it.


If there is an actual emergency, I would say these are a nifty introduction to ham radio.

Its amazing how far you can go with a somewhat simple setup. You can go really cheap with a Baofeng.


Just FYI at the speed meshtastic/core is talking about, it would be very slow. Like dialup would look fast.
But its a fun hobby! Take a look over at !meshtastic@mander.xyz for anyone interested. Meshtastic (and meshcore) are also SUUUPER alpha so dont expect anything polished.


People are claiming reddit is doing it as well.


Same. And you can pay years in advance.


Thats nice to say. But no im not Elena, just a fan. She did a great job with her blog and other websites.


Ive been a dev for 20 ish years now. Im tired of doing unending infa buildouts. Ive been running yuno for about two years. Its just generic debian with lots of easy to use features. Backups work, user login works, and most apps are just scripts with big install buttons.


Using bare metal is good for performance. Bad for reproducability. Docker introduces another layer you have to work with and yet another dependency.
I use docker all the time at work. And yuno at home. They both have thier place.


Yeah thats my preference as well.


Foe me its make your own.
If the big companies wont make the things we want, im going to make it myself. Kinda already am with my bespoke laptop I built…


Oh wow! Replaceable battery.
It would be a killer feature for us in the fedi. :)
Peertube is awesome, but more alternatives in the space would be welcome.
