IMHO some update is better than no update at all!
- Comment on Syncthing Android app discontinued 3 weeks ago:
That and the shrinking ability to grant access to device storage.
Isn’t that helping the average users with security in a way that a scam app can’t see much else than itself?

But that is the original Syncthing app @fine_sandy_bottom@lemmy.federate.cc was talking about the fork that is available in F-Droid

- Comment on Best phone sync 1 month ago:
Daaaaamn, was that so easy to just disable “Syncthing active”?
Let’s try! Thanks - Comment on Best phone sync 1 month ago:
Are you sure that there are different type of notification for Syncthing? Have you disable the persistent one and still received a failed sync one (or something else)?
- Comment on Best phone sync 1 month ago:
But in this way I don’t get any notification if something goes wrong
- Comment on Best phone sync 1 month ago:
Have you found a way to get rid of the notification and keep Syncthing running in background?

Well done!
so I’m optimizing for enjoyment and life/work balance
That’s great, really, well done! And I love that spirit, that “peace of mind” of not wanting more and enjoying what’s enough!
All the best!

- Comment on Anyone trying the Sypee NanoKVM? 3 months ago:
Chinese…I don’t know how, but they manage to always create the worst UI. Also, chinese…I will definitely block Internet access except sometimes just to check for updates. The 10/100 NIC is enough for KVM, not for transferring ISOs 🫤 By the way, keep me posted.

Wow, nice! At that price it’s way better than the PiKVM! Keep me posted on the resolution of your problem. Have you written to the support?
- Comment on Is a cloud backup an acceptable backup for a home server? 4 months ago:
Thanks for your point of view. All of my services are containers that have config and data folder bind mounted from an encrypted partition. After power on, a script download from a website half of the key needed to decrypt data, the other half is in the boot partition. In this way if my server gets stolen I can delete the half key stored on the website and the data disk can’t be decrypted. About swap, you’re right, but that doesn’t worry me at all since I don’t think that there’s anybody that would goes into that trouble just for my data. If someone is able enough and takes the trouble to read it, I guess that’s going to be the last of my problem: it would mean that I’m already in biiiiig troubles! 😆

You’re just missing the part where I want to be on vacation without the need to find a decent Internet connection to boot my serve because the power went off. What’s the plus of encrypting the OS partition too?
- Comment on Is a cloud backup an acceptable backup for a home server? 4 months ago:
That’s interesting, but that won’t help if I’m away or on vacation on the other side of the world
- Comment on Is a cloud backup an acceptable backup for a home server? 4 months ago:
If you tick the encryption box during install, you will have to enter the decrypt password at every boot and that means that if the power goes out for long enough (UPS doesn’t keep the server up for hours), I (and my family) will not have access to the self hosted stuff until I’ll be home and this is why I encrypt only the data partition and not the boot one.
- Comment on Is it safe to automatically pull and update docker containers? 4 months ago:
I do bond mount data folders of the containers, I do backups, I have a notification system that alerts me if a container is not up, but a container can be up but have problems and, most importantly, I (and I guess a lot of other people) don’t always have time to solve problems. When I a few spare minutes a do a snapshot, I update the containers and if something goes wrong if I have time I troubleshoot it, otherwise I just roll back the snapshot and I’ll have a look at the problem when I’ll have time.
- Comment on Is it safe to automatically pull and update docker containers? 4 months ago:
But from the moment that the script updates and breaks something and the moment he realizes it may be too late for some applications.
For example I host Traccar to track car/vans and in this case some tracks would be lost. Or maybe SyncThing, he may realize days/weeks later that a sync is not working and if he was synching his smartphone pictures with his server and the smartphone is lost/broke/stolen, he may lose days/weeks or even months of pictures.
I wouldn’t trust a script. Use Watchtower or What’s up Docker
- Comment on Firefox Docker + VPN is so awesome 4 months ago:
So it’s the use of a browser within a browser? Is it any different than just using Firefox containers (they are AWESOME!!!) and a VPN add-on?

I use BookStack and with Node Red I export to PDF the books as soon as pages get updated, so if everything goes feet up, I have all the documentation in PDFs (locally and automatically uploaded to a free DropBox account, still done with Node Red).
- Comment on Hack of Age Verification Company Shows Privacy Danger of Social Media Laws 4 months ago:
My point is that you can’t compare today’s problem with 20 years ago! 20 years ago the access to the Internet was through the home PC for the amount of time the kid was allowed to use and with people in the house (usually); today the access to the Internet for a kid is 24/7 and everywhere. There is no comparison. Parents should be more present in the kids life? Sure! Parents should block Internet access to porn website at least until a certain age? Yes! But most of them doesn’t even know that ths is possible. Maybe we (society, givernment) should work more here.
