Nobody likes a sucker, especially the kind that fall for fruit tarts like you. I knew there was trouble. I could smell it on the hot evening breeze. Fortunately for me, trouble is my favorite thing… Because I’m Joe Milkshake. I kicked down the door with one swift, decisive motion.

Same, anything peddling crypto and implying the user may earn it through no actual work being done, is suspicious.
Searx-NG works well enough for me in 90% of cases, may not be perfect yet but if it keeps getting developed it will get better. I love those random redirectors that send you to a random instance, no centralised site you depend on then.

This is it. Also given the low quality of the movies production wise you can even rip them at suboptimal settings. I am sure Mom won’t care if she watches her Christian propaganda at 4k or 720p with some visual artifacts.

But if you use their service for free, you do not have to provide any identifying info. As far as I am aware there is no check what you enter is legit and there is no requirement to supply a backup address. So the whole solution for a user to stay anonymous as much as they can with Protonmail is simply to not enter any identifying info.

It will be. We are just not sure yet how because it precisely doesn’t work like reddit or Facebook. But I am sure there are ways to manipulate here too, it may just be more elaborate.

They provided the backup e-mail address
Upon receiving the recovery email from Proton Mail, Spanish authorities further requested Apple to provide additional details linked to that email, leading to the identification of the individual.
Just in case anyone thinks they decrypted mails and handed them over, nope. I hadn’t thought about that “settings” are not encrypted. Guess if you want to stay anonymous you shouldn’t add your private mail address in there as a backup.

Understandable. I am running it since a few months and there weren’t that many actually. The most recent one is even opt-in. But I get how its cumbersome to check before an update if anything needs adjusting. Looking forward to a stable release too!

You can use it as standalone app to track location at set intervals. But it also has a server app to synchronise to as well. Haven’t used it as such, I only record to a file, but maybe this works for your purpose.

There was a second one? Again memes are how I get my news.
- Comment on The Immich core team goes full-time | Immich 1 week ago:
Yeah, but I am not paying for their food, I am paying for the software that I selfhost on my system. With that analogy you can justify subscription for everything in life, since in the end, people gotta eat.
- Comment on The Immich core team goes full-time | Immich 1 week ago:
I am not sure I understand the issue, are you or are you not wanting to backup those memes? Because in the immich app you can select the folder to backup from, e.g. camera, and in the timeline on my phone in the immich app I only see my camera timeline plus backed up images, but not other folders on my phone.
If you mean they all get backed up from different folders into the same timeline, then yes, that’s a bit stupid. I have a situation like that and what I did was to make a separate account on my immich server just for art I find online I am collecting. Then I don’t upload through the app, although with switching account you maybe could, but instead move those images into that accounts external library. Then share the whole library of that account with my actual account. Then it appears in the shared tab. But I understand that might get too cumbersome.
- Comment on The Immich core team goes full-time | Immich 1 week ago:
I don’t mind if they are going to charge for it. But since it is selfhosted I hope a fixed price option with maybe still getting some important updates is on the table. If this goes subscription I am out.

Don’t Abuse the People We expect FUTO companies to have an honest relationship with their customers. Ideally revenue comes from customers paying directly for the services provided by company.

Good for the Immich guys, but I fear incoming enshittification or a subscription model.
- Comment on Mattermost: Casual Selfhosters 1 week ago:
I don’t know what Mattermost is and clicking on the link that OP provided I only see a sign-up page. I don’t know before signing up what kind of content to expect. Not quite enticing to sign up in that case on what looks like some random page.
Good idea but I am not sure this can take off. But maybe I am not the target population here.

Very cool but what it is missing is showing when projects were updated last. I got excited seeing there was an Android app for Portainer but going to Github I can see last update was done 2 years ago. I don’t use Portainer anymore so it is not worth trying for me if it still works as intended.

The batteries on that image in the article look like standard button cell type batteries (not sure that’s the correct name for those…). But I never saw any of these that are rechargeable? Are these developed by fairphone? I’d love some rechargeable button cell batteries.
- Comment on Recommendations for RaspberryPI 4B case? 4 weeks ago:
I am using the Cooler master one, e.g. article here tomshardware.com/…/cooler-master-pi-case-40-revie…
That one however makes the GPIO pretty unusable, so yours seems better.
I am using Jellyfin and Immich on mine mostly, it is rare that the PI gets hotter than 50-55°C. Don’t know if that’s good since I have no point of comparison. It took a long time at 100% load which got the temperature up to 70°C, but that was just once when I made the mistake giving Photoprism my whole photo library at once.
