⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta wants to charge EU users $14 a month if they don't agree to personalized ads on Facebook and Instagram⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
They seem to have copied the approach from multiple European newspapers that consists to disable tracking if you subscribe. And unfortunately most data protection agencies seem okay with that.

It infuriates me that you have to pay for the basic right to not be tracked, given that you already have to be particularly tech-literate to avoid tracking by yourself…
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cashing in on the algorithm — It’s not just pubs toying with dynamic pricing. It’s already here in sectors ranging from public transport to ecommerce⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I have very limited experience with 12ft ladder, I tried it a couple times and never worked for the articles I wanted to read.

Archive.today has a very different way to bypass paywalls that makes it more effective: while 12ft ladder tries to pass as Google’s crawler to see the article, Archive.today makes use of paying accounts credentials plus a botnet to avoid being blocked: gyrovague.com/…/archive-today-on-the-trail-of-the…

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OC: Me since Bun 1.0.0⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Can’t you deploy Docker images to Lambda now? Granted, startup times will probably be slower than native Node.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite domain name provider, and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I’ve always used OVH. They are reputable, always been responsive to my questions and have an API to handle many things, including domain names, which is handy for DNS-01 challenges with Caddy and libdns.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[What is the best movie you watched last week?] 26 August⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
This week I watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. I loved the art direction, the dialogs and the original music.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hell freezes over as Apple supports right-to-repair bill⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

Apple’s letter also asked that the bill “focus on requiring manufacturers obligations to provide the documentation tools, and parts to enable the repairs performed by authorized repair channels, as opposed to a broader undefined scope of repairs.” Apple also wants repair providers to mention when they’re using “non-genuine or used” components.

The bill, as written, also requires non-authorized repairers to provide written notice of their lack of official vendor approval.

Elizabeth Chamberlain, director of sustainability at iFixit, told Ars Technica that while disclosing the use of third-party parts is reasonable, she’s concerned that it “supports unnecessary fear-mongering around used and third-party parts.”

“I also worry that lumping used and third-party parts together will contribute to further confusion. Apple’s ‘unable to verify’ warnings already blur the line between those categories,” she added.

In short, this bill allows Apple to encourage people to repair their devices at Apple-certified repair shops by marketing them as better as non-certified ones.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Automation down⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Apparently the fix is to update the RSS feed URL to use the old.reddit.com domain lemdro.id/comment/1165007

@admin@lemmit.online you should give it a try. I personally will tomorrow if I have the time.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Automation down⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I’m 99% sure it has to do with changes Reddit made to kill their RSS feeds, since Lemmit uses a sub’s RSS feed to fetch new posts.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TunnelCrack: Widespread design flaws in VPN clients⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Consider them as potentially affected and hope the vendor checks if their client is vulnerable and releases a fix quickly.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TunnelCrack: Widespread design flaws in VPN clients⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I’m not sure to understand correctly: does it only impact OpenVNP? Are Wireguard clients safe?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨News aggregation option?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Couldn’t agree more on FreshRSS, it even has the capability to fetch complete articles and to build feeds for websites that do not have an RSS feed if you know basic HTML.

I would also recommend installing the Get RSS Feed URL extension for Firefox and Chrome.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ASUS is apparently killing the ability to root present and future Zenfones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
This is such an anti-consumer move, by refusing to unlock the bootloader Asus hinders the ability of users to extend their devices’ life beyond Asus’s original support window by flashing alternative ROMs…
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ideas wanted⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
That’s what I did:
- There is *.selfhosting.domain.tld that points to my router’s IP address, which then redirects to an nginx+certbot reverse proxy
- Then there is *.local.domain.tld that points to my local IP with Caddy
The only challenging part was to configure Caddy to issue SSL certificates using the DNS challenge since *.local.domain.tld isn’t exposed to the outside world.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony adds multipoint LDAC support for the WH-1000XM5 headphones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I’m probably desilusional for hoping they would do the same for the WH-1000XM4 as Sony rarely update old devices even as they keep selling them…
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DNS providers for privacy & adblocking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Personally I went the self-hosted way: I’m running a PiHole and using AdGuard’s dnsproxy in order to expose DoH and DoT to the internet for my personal use.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey selfhosters, what are you selfhosting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Quicker but not ideal for users with visual impairment :/
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey selfhosters, what are you selfhosting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I run everything on top of the docker-compose chart, which allows me much more flexibility that I would ever have with official TrueNAS apps and TrueCharts.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey selfhosters, what are you selfhosting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I self-host a ton of software. For context, I’m leveraging docker-compose on top of TrueNAS SCALE:
- Monitoring
  - Prometheus
  - Grafana
  - the basic dockprom exporters: nodeexporter, cadvisor
  - NUT Exporter (UPS statistics)
  - PiHole exporter
  - UptimeKuma
- Ad blocking
  - PiHole
  - unbound (censor-resilient DNS resolver)
  - dnsproxy (in order to use PiHole on my smartphone and laptop outside my home network)
- Media
  - Plex
  - Transmission
  - Sonarr
  - Radarr
  - Bazarr
  - Jackett
  - Flaresolverr
- Services exposed to the outside world
  - Bunkerweb (security-hardened nginx reverse-proxy)
  - Bird.makeup (Twitter to Mastodon bridge)
  - FreshRSS
  - n8n (automation software, think IFTTT or Zapier, but open-source and on steroids)
  - Self-Host Planning Poker (my very own software!)
  - Courier (parcel tracking software)
  - Overseerr (user-friendly interface for friends and family to request movies and shows, plugs into Sonarr, Radarr and Plex)
  - Lemmy
- Kresus (personal finance)
- Wireguard (VPN I use as a gateway into my home network)
- Caddy (reverse proxy with HTTPS, I use it for serving locally everything I do not expose to the outside world)
- Restic server (an HTTP server to push Restic backups from various computers at home)
- wakeonlan-cron-docker (because TrueNAS doesn’t allow installing WoL package. Once again, I made it myself)
What I’m looking into at the moment:
- Tandoor Recipes (deployed but I cannot make CSRF work with my reverse-proxy so far)
What I’ll be looking into in the near future:
- Promtail + Grafana Loki to aggregate Docker containers logs in Prometheus/Grafa
- Immich (Google Photos alternative with automated backups from smartphones)
