- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 1 week ago:
@chronicledmonocle @Vinstaal0 I used to work for a dial-up ISP. Every IP is registered to an account, if you're going through your ISP (as opposed to, say, coffee shop or hotel wifi). Though the people who have the information are different (ICANN/registrar vs your internet provider), there's no anonymity in your home IP address even with CGNAT.

@martinb @jerrimu I wrote the initial comment with the idea of saving just the username, but then figured "why not?" for the password. If the password is saved in browser memory (and based how I *think* the app functions, it would have to be), then it wouldn't be much different than saving a password in firefox's password manager (for example). Assuming reasonable crypto usage by the app, of course.

@jerrimu A usability suggestion, having just tried it out - save the username and room password in the export file to make it more like a traditional chat experience. So when you import the chat file, the username and password are pre-populated along with the room name.

@jerrimu @jagged_circle lol!
I read this as a very diplomatic way of saying, "Why.. would you do that? Don't do that." 😏

@claralistensprechen5th @rejinl @ECEC She said 'street trees', which are have shown clear benefits to dense cities all over the world. They're incompatible with on-street parking, though.

@claralistensprechen5th @ECEC *sigh*
City streets are _not_ specifically for cars. Freeways aren't even specifically for cars (buses, trucks), but city streets in particular are definitely not just for cars.
Tree roots are a solved problem. Lots of city master plans and similar documents have a list of trees allowed in the public right-of-way that have root systems compatible with sidewalks and roads. Some trees have roots that buckle concrete, others have roots that don't. Choose wisely.

@ECEC Good lord the number of replies here from people whose brains have been destroyed by "planners"...
1) Trees lower the urban heat island effect.
2) There's plenty of room for trees in dense places, so long as "density" means efficient housing and efficient transportation rather than parking lots and stroads and single-family homes.
3) Someone said "trees require maintenance", as if asphalt and pretty much everything else requires maintenance.
4) Trees harm cars. But cars harm cars too! - Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
@claralistensprechen5th @ECEC Sounds like the problem is cars, not trees.

@ItJustDonn @486 Hang on, this runs chromium as root? That seems like a _really_ bad idea. And unnecessary, since there's a hoarder user installed later in the script...

@werefreeatlast I do this with yggdrasil. Every yggdrasil host gets its own unique private IPv6 address (routeable only to other yggdrasil hosts). As long as you have a single yggdrasil host that's located in public (I use a VPS for this), you can reach any of the yggdrasil hosts from any of the other ones via their IPv6 address. I then map those addresses with DNS, so I don't have to ever type them.

@ohshit604 @AbidanYre Nah, they are still doing releases, but they're hidden. You have to combine the past few releases to unlock the url for the latest release.
[I'm joking, of course.]

@sxan @elyviere In particular, there are two gl.inet models that you can install openwrt on: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/best-newcomer-routers-2024/189050/2
The other models run modified openwrt but don't necessarily allow you to install a stock openwrt release.
- Comment on FUTO just made a 14hrs long video introduction to Selfhosting! (plus a written version) 💾 5 months ago:
@ikidd @scrubbles I'm in a similar situation, though not hosted at home (rather, at a linode VPS with an IP that I don't think has changed in almost 20 years).
They were set up in 2006, and I've only ever had a blacklist event or two related to not adopting/upgrading to some new standard like SPF, rather than any kind of spam thing.

@paperd @chaospatterns Yeah, this is the one I'm currently using. I have my pictures automatically synced to my laptop, and (in the other direction) an audiobooks directory on my laptop automatically synced to my phone.
