Check out the “Open Source Security Podcast” with Kurt Siegfried and Josh Bressers. It’s not about specifics so much as how to build a mindset around security for IOT and hosting, generally dealing with opensource offerings.

There’s a lot of difference between a container and a VM. You can install HA on a container, all you have to do is set it up according to the manual install instructions, and work around any hardware interfacing issues that come up. You’ll save 200MB of RAM and will have to do any upgrades manually. Doesn’t seem worth it to me, but to each their own.

Alright boys, I've been converted to the light side and have installed F-Droid. Now what?

Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no “Editor’s Picks” on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here....

DavX5 and start keeping your contacts/calendar private with something like Nextcloud.

How does Usenet content not immediately get DMCA'd into oblivion?

For instance, say I search for “The Dark Knight” on my Usenet indexer. It returns to me a list of uploads and where to get them via my Usenet provider. I can then download them, stitch them together, and verify that it is, indeed, The Dark Knight. All of this costs only a few dollars a month for me....

Appreciate the post, but damn, that’s still cryptic. “Find a quality private usenet indexer”… I don’t even know where to begin to do this.

Literally their only content, not even a comment.

This is an axe-grind of some sort.

A middle ground is LazyDocker. Lets you do most of the stuff Portainer does without leaving the SSH terminal.

Try Insular which lets you install Play Store inside an island that is essentially a bare android system. If the apps access anything on the operating system like contacts, etc. they just get empty data (unless you populate that islands Contacts with what you need for an application). You can make multiple islands if you need to isolate other applications from each other, or you can just install all untrusted apps inside of one island and let them feed off each other. I’ve also seen people poison the data those applications get with bullshit data in the things they are accessing inside the island and sending back.

I’ve used this very successfully with GrapheneOS, it’ll run my bank app for instance, so I don’t have to keep Play Services on my mainland profile. You can also move apps from mainland to island, or island to island inside the Insular manager.

Literally every note app uses markdown. I’m not sure why people point at that for Obsidian like it’s a unique feature.

Its almost like westerners came up with the germ theory of disease tranamission and adjusted their sanitation methods to prevent it.

IDK. I’m to the point where I don’t touch anyone’s phone or computer, because if I glance at it from a speeding car, I’m suddenly responsible for everything that suddenly “now doesn’t work” in their entire house, probably including the dishwasher.

Postgres is the standard db in the AIO container nextcloud has put out as their standard.

I looked at this, it looks pretty rudimentary compared to something like Mailcow-dockerized which has a full docker stack with clamAV, sieve, etc that you can add Roundcube on to, and has worked very well for me for years. There are precious few jmap clients out there so that’s not much of a consideration really. I’d rather have rspamd itself rather than their fork of it because then I can depend on the original’s documentation, because their documentation doesn’t seem very comprehensive comparatively.

Plus, I’d rather have a stack of separate docker containers rather than a single container that munges it all together, but maybe that’s not a big deal. I like to let Postgres manage the postgres container image and not put another layer in there.

I have almost a dozen installs of it in the wild for a few years now, with friends and relatives that aren’t very computer literate. It has been virtually maintenance free. This is on wildly disparate hardware as well, and it’s always installed nicely and with little messing around after to get things working.

People like to hate on it; it’s been by far the most reliable distro I’ve used, far better than "just works^TM " distros like Fedora and Ubuntu. I’d ignore the naysayers and use if it works for you.

Back when there were film canisters, I would use those. Then I smartened the fuck up and quit smoking.

I run my own Piped server, works great and have a few friends that use it exclusively now because the YT algo was getting too be too much for them, besides the ads.

I think the public ones are just hammered too hard.

Jesus, do they have nothing better to do? Maybe go deal with Russian oligarchs or Israeli war criminals.

Never had it work right. 90% of the time it just prompts again or fails to run entirely.
