…I can’t think of a “privacy-focused code editor” because code editors are generally not known for having telemetry/tracking/anything privacy-invasive in the first place? A “privacy-respecting” code editor is just a normal one. Use whatever you like. Vim is great. Maybe Kate if you want a GUI.

There was one question where it wouldn’t let me do this. I think the media streaming question I had to click “Other”.

Never used a dashboard… I just manage my services on the cli with plain docker commands.

It looks like a honeypot, and wtf is a “private cell network”? How are they gonna do that? SMS and phone calls aren’t E2EE

I suppose that begs the question of whether or not privacy (as used by this community) inherently means private in the colloquial sense, like the way a diary is private. Because to me, a e.g. public static website with no kind of profiling of its users is privacy-respecting, but obviously not private in the colloquial sense—it’s a public resource.

I do use SMS sometimes and I use it strictly for things that I’m happy to be basically public. Same for using other protocols like unencrypted email.

A stock smartphone is also locked in to mandatory telemetry, like a stock dumbphone. The practical difference is that there’s a much smaller community for installing custom FOSS OSes onto dumbphones compared to smartphones.

I think you’re conflating security with privacy. Not that they are unrelated, but something can be e.g. unencrypted but lack telemetry.

Not that dumbphones are inherently private, but I don’t think they’re less private either. They’re just what you use if you have no need for all the smartphone functions.

Watchtower for automated updates. For containers that don’t have a latest tag to track, editing the version number manually and then docker compose pull && docker compose up -d is simple enough.

Yes, if you use the “task list” block. You can also have checkbox bullet points but I don’t use them, not really sure what the use-case for those are when you can just use the task list.

I self-host Notesnook and found it easy to set up. Been using it as my main note-taking app for years now and I’m really happy with it.

Someone who’s in the business of stealing computers would just stick it in a faraday bag. I guess for an entire server you’d need a sizeable cage though.

Idk about Immich but Vaultwarden is just a Cargo project no? Cargo statically links crates by default but I think can be configured to do dynamic linking too. The Rust ecosystem seems to favour static linking in general just by convention.

Yeah the intro read as weird to me. If you’re writing for a programming crowd there’s no need to explain all that, and anyway the rest of the article wasn’t about the stack/heap distinction.

It wouldn’t be hard to add a clause mandating that websites provide an easy-to-access “reject all” button that actually rejects all cookies.

I don’t think there is really any learning curve to “learning HTML” if you are not trying to do anything funky and you just want a simple static website that functions, like OP said, “like a business card”. You may as well just type it out yourself. If you’ve never written HTML before just look at w3schools.

I think once Forgejo gets ActivityPub integration working it will really help for migration. I know federated platforms like Mastodon struggled with adoption because I think a lot of folks struggled to wrap their heads around the fact that there’s no “default instance” and they have to choose their own instance, but hopefully for a programming crowd that won’t be an issue. It would massively help with the “well I could move to a different website but there’s no obvious second choice I can move to” issue; you can just head to any Forgejo instance and interact with any other federated instance.

I think spraying would be a good shout. I don’t think you’ll damage the board that way.

Yeah but a can is basically one unit. Once a can is opened it usually has to be used relatively quickly, so I would much rather use an entire can than measure out a fractional number of cans to be precise with measurements. It depends on the ingredient of course but eg with beans it really doesn’t matter to get the exact weight.

You get a domain name, and use an A record to point it towards your server’s public IP address.

You tell nginx to forward requests to a given domain. For instance, you could tell nginx to forward requests to foo.bar.com to 127.0.0.1:1337. To do this:

http {
    server {
        server_name foo.bar.com;
        listen 80;
        
        location / {
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:1337$request_uri;
        }
    }
}

Note that this is a very basic setup that doesn’t have HTTPS or anything. If you want an SSL certificate, look into Let’s Encrypt and Certbot.

Also, the service you’re hosting (which I’m not familiar with) may have an example reverse proxy config you should use as a starting point if it exists.

…No? Communism is the brand new social order I’m talking about that is yet to come about.

Been self hosting email for a good while now and it’s been largely painless. My emails are not getting marked spam either. Although my only outgoing mails are to FOSS mailing lists and occasionally to individuals, not for anything business related.

I would say that if self hosting email sounds like something you’d be interested in, then it probably is worthwhile for you. I like being able to configure my mail server exactly the way I want it, and I have some server side scripts I wrote for server side mail processing, which is useful as I have several different mail clients so it makes sense to do processing on the server rather than trying to configure it on my many clients. It definitely falls into the “poweruser” category of activities but I’ve had fun and I enjoy my digital sovereignty.
