cjerrington, in Which port to run Wireguard on
@cjerrington@kbin.social avatar

Changing ports isn’t a terrible thing, also not the perfect “fix” either, as you can still recognize open ports and scan the service on them.

Some ports are reserved in networking, so should stay away from those.

Some ISPs don’t allow you open ports on 80/443 as those are web hosting ports and they provide a service to consumers to download content from the internet, not for their consumer to be a web hosting provider as well. That’s at the residential level, if you have a business plan that might change, but it might be hard to convince and ISP otherwise.

nightdice, in Which port to run Wireguard on

Generally speaking, you never want to use a low port (<1024) for anything other than the service assigned to it, because it causes all kinds of headache. Both on your side and on the other side. As for high ports, pick whichever one you prefer. They don’t have any binding to a given service, though there are some conventions.

The thing that shows people you’re running a VPN is not the port but the protocol header, so changing the port is pretty much useless if you want your ISP to not know you’re running a VPN for some reason.

freeman,

Tbh I moved my VPS vpn to port 443 because some public networks (ie; public wifi) will block the default ports (ie 1194 for openvpn).

hburb3ri, in Good VPS providers providing anonymity

They are called bulletproof hosting and are illegal. They get shut down pretty quick for obvious reasons. You won’t find any reputable ones for a reason, because they don’t want to be hosting illegal content like CP. They also get their IPs blacklisted and automatically marked as spam/suspicious/phishing. It’s just a bad idea.

You can have private hosting and not anonymous hosting, they are not the same. Just try to go for one in the EU for the most privacy friendly laws.

spatialdestiny, in Should the ChrisTitus Ultimate Windows Utility be officially recommended on Privacy Guides?

If anyone is interested, there’s a windows tool called AtlasOS, atlasos.net, that is a significant debloat tool. It’s designed for gamers to get as much fps and performance out of their system as possible. Yes I’ve had things break, and yes it’s a security issue, but I’ve never had a problem with the games I play. I like the idea and enjoy trying it out when Linux isn’t an option for something I’m trying to do.

Using it and I love it! Can definitely recommend it!

I love Logseq! When I first started using it, I was categorizing all my notes as I was slowly moving over my knowledge base. And over time, I’ve switched over to using the Journal more and more! It’s extremely well done.

Doesn’t like Firefox mobile apparently. For a privacy focused platform you’d think it would support that over Chrome.

its lack of protocol support from firefox end. Firefox doesn’t support the FS API. The logseq team plans to migrate to a different protocol that is supported by FF OPFS

This looks intriguing! I currently use BookStack as a documentation platform, but it seems Logseq might be a step above something like BookStack?

Wander, in Is Kbin private? and how private is compared to Lemmy?
@Wander@yiffit.net avatar

Nothing on the fediverse is truly private. Treat everything you say as public and as permanent.

isotope, in Logseq: A privacy-first, open-source platform for knowledge management.

I remember this being marketed as the Emacs Org mode + Org Roam combo for the masses, which is totally fine. However, if you want true control over your data and you’re willing to step out of your comfort zone, consider using Emacs + Syncthing

you have complete control over your data with logseq.

I had no idea such a thing existed, thanks for posting! I currently use Notion at work, which is similar, but this looks promising for home use.

i’d never heard of this concept! i have a disorganized stack of markdown files - notes, to-do and packing lists - that this looks ideal to tame

Recollectr, in Logseq: A privacy-first, open-source platform for knowledge management.

Another alternative, admittedly not open-source, is Recollectr (disclaimer: built by me.)

Recollectr was inspired by prior projects like Notational Velocity but aims to be a lot more - omnibox, markdown support, reminders; and for paid users: revisions, note-linking, and sync. I built it because I felt like other note-taking apps just weren't fast enough and they broke my concentration.

It's quite late here but I'd be happy to answer any questions tomorrow!

Helvedeshunden,

I was just checking out the site on my iPad. Only the top image loads and the rest are white boxes. I disabled all content blockers and reloaded but the problem persisted. It might still be a local problem, but now you have a heads-up that something MIGHT be wrong.

Recollectr,

Thanks very much for letting me know; I'll look into this! They're all videos so perhaps there's some encoding issue with Safari on iOS.

Love Logseq for a lot of reasons, but their PDF annotator is really a gamechanger. I can open a PDF, mark it up, copy the highlighted reference to my notes, and then when I review my notes just by clicking the copied reference I can jump to that section of the PDF. Awesome.
