I don’t think they meant everything literally goes in the same direction, but more like what is discussed here scientificamerican.com/…/do-we-live-inside-a-blac…

Add SepiaSearch URL as default search index
I updated my weird wording but… you and they said something about the default [index] URL
- Comment on I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good 1 week ago:
If OP asked when global search was implemented the answer is 5 years ago. If they asked when SepiaSearch became the default URL then sure, ChatGPT was wrong, but I’d bet they asked the first question

ChatGPT is correct?

In May 2020, Framasoft published a roadmap of the software for the later half of the year and created a fundraising campaign requiring €60,000 for aiding the development.[18] Five months later (in October 2020), PeerTube announced that they reached their fundraising goal of €60,000 after a €10,000 donation from Debian.[19][20] Throughout the later half of 2020, PeerTube has added features such as global search, improved playlists, and more moderation tools
End 2020, the meta-search engine Sepia Search was launched by Framasoft, allowing a global search on all PeerTube instances at once. As of 2021, Sepia Search covered close to 800 individual instances
- Comment on Dedicated service user or not ? 1 week ago:
I don’t want to tell you one way or the other because it’s kinda dubious anyway, but if all services run as the same user the need for root is kinda moot when it comes to crossing between services or expanding the scope of an attack. Of course it is better than all things running as root, but if I popped a machine as some “low privilege” user that still had access to all running services I’m not sure I’d care so much about escalating to root.
- Comment on Dedicated service user or not ? 1 week ago:
Woah, no? Sure escaping via a kernel bug or some issue in the container runtime is unexpected, but I “escape” containers all the time in my job because of configuration issues, poorly considered bind mounts, or the “contained” service itself ends up being designed to manage some things outside of the container.
Might be valid to not consider it with the services you run, but that reasoning is very wrong.

It did give the right answer…

You can unlock the bootloader on a Pixel in about a minute.
I can understand some people finding the whole process a bit daunting, but it’s not actually that difficult with Graphene.

LXC is containerization. Both it and Docker are using the same kernel APIs.

This is also far from my personal experience, you might not even realize what free software you’re depending on?
Your browser is most likely the most complex piece of software you interact with daily and it is most likely FOSS. The Linux kernel is FOSS and is incredibly robust. Most compiler suites, FOSS. Most programming languages, FOSS. These are all incredibly well written and robust tools. AOSP, kinda FOSS and the forks like Graphene are definitely FOSS. Hell even a lot of macOS programs are actually FOSS.
There is great paid and proprietary software out there, sure, but no it’s not the majority of top quality software in my personal experience and likely a lot of people’s experiences

Sounds like you’re cherry picking both; I’ve seen plenty of garbage that costs money as well.

- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 month ago:
I have no skin in this game, but IPs are definitely not anonymous data. Also there is a lot of great info out there about de-anonymizing seemingly random data. Interestingly enough, this is essentially the Netflix prize dataset that was one of the more famous ones.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 month ago:
Nobody is gonna be using a quantum computer to “crack email hashes” of Plex users in a few years… I’m not even sure there is a speedup to hash cracking with quantum computers.
But depending on the hashing algorithm used, it’s likely pretty easy to crack hashes of email addresses today with a normal computer. They’re not particularly high entropy.

Honestly I wouldn’t even go so far as home assistant. Do you have any IP cameras or just USB webcams? If you have IP cameras all you need is the VPN and then just access them as if you’re at home. If you only have USB webcams, you’re going to have to stream the content and I believe
ffmpeg
is actually capable of taking/dev/videoX
and serving it over HTTP somehow, but I don’t remember exactly how. I see some references to it in some quick searches though.Another thing to remember is that you’re going to be limited by your upload speed. If you’re not on fiber and in the US that’s likely going to be pretty bad, so set your resolution and the like accordingly.

Sorry about your cat. We typically have a Rover stop in to check on our cats when we’re gone for a bit. It’s nice to get them some human interaction and they always send pictures and give updates.
I personally have a camera setup inside that just streams to HomeAssistant so we can check on them ourselves when we’re out just for the weekend. WireGuard is a very easy way to set up the access. I disconnect it when Rovers are stopping by though because I don’t want them to feel spied on.

Totally, the real issue is people not having total control over their own devices.

There are definitely good, non malicious reasons to have it as a separate app and that should actually be preferred. Off the top of my head:
- Separation of permissions - it only has the permissions it asks for instead of every permission messages has
- It can be disabled/removed without disabling messages
- it can be reused by other applications if that’s a desirable feature

Hm I always remember hearing this:
In a confidential memo to the Republican party, Luntz is credited with advising the Bush administration that the phrase “global warming” should be abandoned in favour of “climate change”, which he called a “less frightening” phrase than the former.
