I don’t use proton so can’t validate but two things stand out to me:
Good luck!
This would only be correct if this would be an exit node, which it isn’t.
This extension is not about personal gain but supporting people who can’t enter the your network due to their local legislation.
Your fingerprinting argument only works for exit nodes - there you’re be absolutely right though!
No, you’re missing the point: he can claim all he wants. He doesn’t and didn’t. You say yourself that it’s engagement bait - why do you believe this statement of his??
Edit just because I was curious and had to test for myself: “What’s the best Linux gaming distro” for example shows a different result for me. Adding “comparison” blows it onto a completely different direction and gives more sources.
Just no. This has nothing to do with Linux - this guy has a huge team of people doing research, orchestrating videos and analyzing interactions. This is the face of a huge company, not some “newbie” like you make it appear.
This is simply another piece of engagement bait. He will never have good success because he will have another “last go” in half a year.
He didn’t have a motivation to switch. He didn’t raise a clear scenario why he claims to want to switch. He’s baiting communities like this one and I’m quite annoyed that this fucker still succeeds.
I’ve met many Linux newbies in my life - not a single one just went with the first distro showing up. Not a single one. Depending on the individual it was either “what’s best for me?” or “What’s easiest?”. I can count the people who didn’t start out with one of those two on one hand
Yes, it is private by technology:
GPS and other systems working the same way are passive, similar to receiving a radio signal. You’re receiving the signal of several satellites at the same time and your device calculates your position based on those signals. You’re basically getting “I’m satellite cool boy and at the next beep it’s exactly five past nine” all the time - only with a bit more precision. Your device does rhen the actusl position calculation locally.
Fun fact! Geo positioning is one off the few things where we need to apply both general and special relativity for real world effects: the effects due to the satellites speed and high distance to earth (and therefore the reduced effect of gravity) cause a significant shift in the speed in which clocks run on those satellites compare to Earth. As we use the exact time to calculate distance and with that position this would cause a huge drift otherwise!
Opencloud is the was to go from the established systems in my opinion. https://github.com/opencloud-eu
File sharing and -management for me has a higher level of trust and stability requirements. Syncin with four developers and “doing everything” while based on typescript makes me suspicious - but I haven’t tried it hands-on.
Traefik and caddy were mentioned, the third in the game is usually nginxproxymanager.
I’m using both traefik and nginx in two different setups. The nginxproxymanager can be configured via UI natively which makes checking configurations a bit easier.
Traefik on the other hand is configured easily within the compose itself and you have everything in one place.
This turned out to be tiresome though if you don’t have a monolithic compose file - that’s actually even hr history why I switched to npm in the first place.
I don’t have any experience with caddy so can’t provide anecdotal insights there.
I really like it already so take this as an alternative, not as improvement:l. I don’t have a good eye for aesthetics anyway don’t his is more about structure.
Personally I switched from a single dashboard to purpose driven hubs - I can’t imagine a situation where I need my infrastructure and my calendar at the same time regularly for example.
Another point is context typing: your release checker is quite far away from your appointments and calendar. It looks to me to be sorted by content rather then function (i.e. it’s entertainment so it’s next to YouTube). The same is true for your interaction patterns. There is a lot of visual information which I’m sure you’ll rarely interact with but instead consume. And then there are clearly external links, both bottom left (opencloud, tooling) and top right (external media) in addition to your own self hosted content.
My suggestion is therefore a process instead of a change: Note down when you consume which features of this awesome dashboard together for a few days. Then restructure the content of the whole dashboard based on your usage patterns - either as a new Monolith or even experimenting with splitting it.
I even suggest using a different medium then your usage device (if it’s a desktop PC mainly use pen and paper, if it’s your laptop use your phone, if it’s your phone you use this dashboard on then you might have different problems :D)
You are a prime example for a simple truth: circlejerking (“opinion bubbling”) doesn’t depend on platform.
There are a shitload of users. Yet, “everybody”…
Perhaps in their social circle, AI is the new porn. Who ever would watch that, after all?
But, more likely, everyone clapped and that was it…
Sorry if I use the wrong English terms! I think you are right :) With system I refered to the literal computer system the file is saved on. I’m not a dev of one of those tools but I know several maintainers and developers that’s why I’m a bit sensitive there! Thats why I (baldy apparently, apologies!) tried to focus on the developer point of view and ignored the whole cost/benefit aspect which you described very well - thank you for that!
Back to my point re/ local security because I feel this is the only one where I see a fundamentally different assessment between us: (Fontext: access an unencrypted file on my machine): I’m not aware of a mechanism to read (unencrypted or not) files on a host without a preceding incident. How else could your files be acessed? I don’t understand how I might have this backwards.
You’re completely right if course that there are a lot of tools out there one could use - but it would be on the developer to implement support for those. If you support one you can be damn sure users shout for “I want to use Y”. And then you would still need a Fallback for anyone not willing to install a supported third party tools.
I have my issues with proton because of its CEO and some weird decisions for their product lone and don’t use them at all. I.e. I won’t defend this company.
Such a claim without source and explanation or interpretation of assumed implications are pure fear mongering.
Because of this: my advice is to decouple your privacy concerns and thoughts from politics in the first degree (rhetoric and hearsay). Base it ok policies, observable behavior, audits, laws and so on…your example: exit nodes for VPNs don’t have an impact on security at all in neither direction. Hosting infrastructure there would (i.e. it would increase potential access and put the infrastructure under additional legal requirements).
Cybersecurity works inherently with risk scenarios. Your comparison is flawed because you state that there is an absolute security hygiene standard.
That said: I highly appreciate your approach to the subject, i.e. looking at the code and raising a discussion about something that looks wrong. Thank you for that!
On the subject itself:
There are two common ways to implement token management. The most common one I am aware of is actually the text based one. Even a lot of cloud services save passwords as environment variables after a vault got unlocked via IAM. That’s because the risk assessment is: If a perpetrator has access to these files the whole system is already corrupted - any encryption that gets decrypted locally is therefore also compromised.
The second approach is to implement the OS level secret manager and what you’re implicitly asking for from my understanding.
While I agree that this would be the “cleaner” solution it’s also destroying cross platform compatibility or increasing maintenance load linear to the amount of platforms used, with a huge jump for the second one: I now need a test pipeline with an OS different than what I’m using.
Yes! :/
Edited my response, I misread it. Thank you!
The trick is to read the prompt. I had 2n+1 are the new number of passengers.
Had to reconstruct it from your answer though.
Anyway, thanks!
Edit: misread the prompt, below original post is wrong, I apologize!
Noe start with three or any odd number :p 3 , 7, 15, 31, 33…
I think only 2^x has the outcome you describe, please correct me if I’m mistaken.
Outspoken pro Trump and what many people would call “right wing”. For me that term is too nice though.
“gimme your mongodb url for me to do anything”
Last example where I was … Annoyed by: unifi. Their management application demands a mongodb.
Nostrils and mouth are connected, topologically you could therefore have ass to left nostril with the mouth being an own opening!
That said I really really hope you forgot your uthera at least. Which is a curious question back to the subject: is it a topological hole if the opening is only to the insides of the corpus? (Thinking about the reproductive parts of either sex specifically).
Yeah but that doesn’t solve OPs problem re/ proton - what I meant was that perhaps there is no Netherlands server that provides their random port forwarding or it gets a hickup with it.
If you refer to me not using proton:
The port forwarding is not the main reason (that’s their C level weirding me out) - and for the port forwarding specifically: It’s not (only/mainly) qbittorrent I want port forwarding for :)
