The “minimal” part is incorrect; it is a super complicated container. The number of moving parts don’t leave me with any confidence that I could keep it running or fix any issues going forwards.
- Comment on Podman or rootless docker? 2 weeks ago:
Rootless Podman :) It requires you to learn a little bit of new syntax, for example, the way you mount volumes and pass environment variables can be slightly different, but there’s nothing that hasn’t worked for me.
- Comment on Podman or rootless docker? 2 weeks ago:
I switched and was very glad to do so. You increase your security and so far I haven’t seen any downside. Every container I’ve tried has worked without issues, even complex ones.

You can’t know with certainty on Signal that the client and the server are actually keeping your messages encrypted at rest, you have to trust them.
With Matrix, if you self host, you are the one in control.

It’s harder to create new content than to correct existing content.

Just remember that Cloudflare decrypts and re-encrypts all your data, so they can read absolutely everything that passes through those tunnels.
- Comment on Update: Bitwarden posted to X this evening to reaffirm that it's a "packaging bug" and that "Bitwarden remains committed to the open source licensing model." 1 month ago:
They’re not really comparable since Bitwarden has the source available for auditing and Proton Pass (server) does not.
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 1 month ago:
Nothing in the article or in the Bitwarden repo is moving away from open source
This hysteria is stupid at this point.

Yes

Check the message times - I updated my OP long after I asked you to click on those links.
You need to be calm.

Lol you weirdo, I even said I did that:
- Comment on OpenBudgeteer: a selfhosted budgeting app made for Bucket Budgeting 2 months ago:
Try clicking either of those links.
Regardless, this is a thread about self-hosted open-source options, which is why I linked to Actual Budget.
- Comment on OpenBudgeteer: a selfhosted budgeting app made for Bucket Budgeting 2 months ago:
I mean I really can. They don’t even have a paid option, just a big open source message:
- Comment on OpenBudgeteer: a selfhosted budgeting app made for Bucket Budgeting 2 months ago:
You’re replying to my comment about Actual Budget, the very open source budgeting solution?
- Comment on OpenBudgeteer: a selfhosted budgeting app made for Bucket Budgeting 2 months ago:
Net worth and investment tracking goes in my spreadsheets, budgeting in Actual Budget.
- Comment on OpenBudgeteer: a selfhosted budgeting app made for Bucket Budgeting 2 months ago:
Why not Actual Budget, which is also self-hosted bucket budgeting based off YNAB, however it appears to be a lot more mature.

Any cloud is an easy secure backup on Linux if you use rclone crypt :)
- Comment on Proton Wallet Review: Is Proton Losing Touch? - Privacy Guides 2 months ago:
Oh I agree with you. I am a daily crypto user and I have no use for this wallet. I was just offering some things it adds which might be useful.
Lightning is a big missed opportunity. Phoenix is the only wallet I know that has solved this in a user-friendly way.
(I did also mention that it only works between Proton accounts.)
- Comment on Proton Wallet Review: Is Proton Losing Touch? - Privacy Guides 2 months ago:
The wallet doesn’t add anything directly useful.
It adds a couple of things which can be useful:
-
You have a single receive email, but it’s associated with a full HD wallet, so every receive will generate a brand new unused address for the sender. As the email is static, you could for example post it for donations and not have to worry about people being able to track anything you’ve received.
-
They have support which you can contact, which while almost certainly isn’t important for you, for your aunty it might be useful.

- Comment on Proton Wallet Review: Is Proton Losing Touch? - Privacy Guides 2 months ago:
You neglected to quote the most relevant part of the article which answers your own question regarding Monero:
Proton Wallet is in a strange position. I’ve spoken to a few sources who suggest that privacy features like CoinJoin, which can mix Bitcoin in order to better anonymize transactions, were intended to be included at launch. The crackdown on the ill-fated Samouri Wallet project by U.S. authorities last April certainly put a damper on privacy in the Bitcoin space, and likely made Proton wary of introducing such features to the public.
Proton suggests this themselves, stating on their website:
“Coinjoin is considered the best solution for improving blockchain privacy. It works by mixing your BTC with other users’ BTC in a collaborative self-custodial transaction where you get back the same amount of BTC that you put in but on a different address that cannot be easily linked to your previous address. However, in 2024, in what many consider to be a regulatory overreach and attack on privacy, some of these Coinjoin services have been declared illegal in the US and EU. The future of financial privacy may therefore be decided by ongoing litigation in the next decade and privacy advocates should support these efforts.”
This situation likely soured Proton on other privacy-friendly cryptocurrencies like Monero as well. I get it, financial privacy is an extremely challenging task for any company to take on. We can’t expect Proton to take on the risk of offering a completely anonymous payment service in the current legal climate, but it begs the question: why enter the financial space at all?

- Comment on Silverblue or other immutable on remote VPS? 2 months ago:
Very true. The discussion helped me, as I did think it meant not easily editable.
As root of course you can change the system to be any other type of system (layer packages, rebase, whatever), but I did assume it meant not easily modifiable in it’s current state.
- Comment on Silverblue or other immutable on remote VPS? 2 months ago:
My comment in the comment chain was:
An attacker escaping from a container can’t be system root as Podman runs rootless (without some other exploit or weak password).
We could give the op the benefit of the doubt and thinking that they were saying that the attacker inside the container managed to gain root inside the container.
- Comment on Silverblue or other immutable on remote VPS? 2 months ago:
While you are correct, any system is compromised if you have root, so isn’t that irrelevant at that point?
- Comment on Silverblue or other immutable on remote VPS? 2 months ago:
Makes sense. An “immutable” distro provides no additional security benefit, however CoreOS does have a reduced attack surface area compared to other distros, which itself is a benefit.
- Comment on Silverblue or other immutable on remote VPS? 2 months ago:
You sound confident, but the fact that Fedora is using the term “immutable” makes me wonder if you actually have domain expertise here.
Immutable means immutable. It would be strange for them to call it that if it actually means “completely irrelevant from a security perspective”.
Unless you provide some evidence to the contrary I’m going to assume you aren’t correct.

They 100% can.
It’s a read-only filesystem:

The tick is gone for me too. Well that sucks, I guess they updated the page.

The column with the ticks is for Plus not for Free, so yes you should definitely complain to support.
