I’ve been working on this on and off for a few months now. The more I learn, the deeper the hole gets. Ports and VPNs and UPNP and TCP and UDP and hosts and containers and firewalls and on and on. It’s a lot.

Many times I can’t get things working properly, if at all, and other times it works perfectly one day and then several days later, after changing absolutely nothing, no longer works.

My current goal is to get a Mobilizon instance and a Jitsi server running, to hopefully get a community started up there that meets up regularly to help each other, and to make onboarding easier.

I tried to ask for help around here and, while a few kind people did offer to help (and disappeared shortly thereafter), I was overwhelmingly lambasted for daring to ask for personal help.

Not a good idea to use your own domain. Use Proton Pass with domains you share with all the other users.

I could but it’s pretty simple. You’re the owner of that domain. Any accounts/communications with that domain can be traced back to you.

I don’t trust anyone. You don’t have to trust them. That’s the point. Everything is open source and encrypted.

But aside from that they’ve been audited several times and they have a good reputation in the community.

You realize South Park is a comedy, right?

Not helpful, thanks.

Not really going to justify my usage but suffice it to say my business is largely dependent on networking with the people who are active on social media.

Twitter and Reddit I am “read only” via Stealth and Squawker.

Links from Twitter shouldn’t have any Facebook tracking info

That’s not what I’m saying.

There is no “religious cult”. Just users who want a better experience.

They still put unremovable ads in your inbox when you buy premium. They’re fairly subtle but still incredibly frustrating.

I recently discovered AntennaPod can be used as a PeerTube client as well.

Although I don’t like them them mixed in with my podcasts so I cloned the app and just have one that I use separately.

They don’t spy on you without your permission.

You should probably edit your comment to clarify that they don’t listen to you.

“Spying” doesn’t really have a clear definition in this context. Amazon employees have been caught spying on customers through their cameras, and giving away clips to authorities without “owners’” consent, consult or notification.

Switching to Debian on my gaming pc

Hello everyone - I have been wanting to ditch windows on my gaming pc for a while now, and since I have recently finished a large project, I now have the free time to switch. I am relatively comfortable with Debian having used it for a while on my web server as well as school laptop, but I am concerned about using it on my...

There are some gaming focused OS’s such as Nobara (Fedora) and also that are “couch gaming” OSs that incorporate controller-only UIs such as ChimeraOS (Arch) and Bazzite (Fedora).

I don’t really like tablets in the first place. Don’t understand what they’re for that laptops can’t already do.

But aside from that, the problem is not hardware, it’s the OS. Android, iOS and iPad OS are all distinctly very different from their desktop counterparts, with respect to how you interact with the device. Linux needs the same.

only ever used windows, but I’m getting fed up with the bullshit

Well that’s why I switched 🤷

Drove me fucking insane that I couldn’t uninstall Edge. Tried a few times but it always reinstalled itself. It’s just the audacity to say “no fuck you” to the person who is giving you money. Can’t disable Cortana, can’t disable all the XBOX bullshit, not to mention it’s just becoming more and more like Android where the entire OS becomes dedicated to collecting your data. Linux has none of that, and that’s enough for me.

I’m also nervous about using an OS I’m not familiar with for business purposes right away.

Couple of solutions for this:

  1. Dual boot. When you have a hard time, just restart and boot into Windows.
  2. You can’t transfer storage across OS so make sure to use cloud storage for your work files.

Great, let me just whip out my computer science degree to figure out how the fuck to even do that.

I don’t think so, it can only click the ads you’re served, which you don’t control.

Yes but Google banned them from the extension store so if you’re using Chromium you need to sideload it.

It’s 8 o’clock and this website has no dark mode. No thanks.

I’m 36 and had internet porn since before I got puberty.

But yeah, I agree. I skip sex scenes now. I don’t feel like they add anything. Like you can just cut out all the nude backs and moaning and nothing of value would be lost. We get it, they had sex, move on.

I wouldn’t call it a watermark but yeah, they have been for a good while if you export it from the app.
