• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you actually audit open source projects you download?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  no. ive skimmed through maybe 2 things overall but thats about it. i use too many apps to be able to audit them all and i dont have the proper skills to audit code anyway, and even if i did i would still have to re-audit after every update or every few years. its just not worth the effort

  youre taking a chance whether you use closed or open source software, at least with open source there is the option to look through things yourself, and with a popular project theres going to be a bigger chance of others looking through it

  if they do backtrack on this then its too late for me cos the damage is already done. ive got myself some new hardware already i wont be buying anything from them again. i wish them the best of luck though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  raspberry pi’s arent the best option anyway since you need to add on a hat just to get some SATA ports. i think Odroid has some boards with sata connectors. zimaboard or zimablade are some other options off the top of my head

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨self hosted browser sync?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ive been using floccus for a few years now and no complaints

  i havnt tried syncing tabs but i think its an option. what i do have is a one-way sync job for the tabs in each browser so i at least have a backup of them, and each browser has its own file, but i would imagine if you tried to sync the same file between multiple devices it would just get very messy at some point

  i thought by now there would be small enough machine learning models that could be run on a dash cam that would blur out people’s faces. like OpenCV stuff or whatever Panoramax are using for their street-view imagery? but i dont know, maybe it would take more powerful CPUs to do this kind of thing?

  putting a “backdoor” in secure software is the equivalent of taking a safe and installing a cat flap on the back of it

  back to the good old days when “self-hosting” wasnt even a term because of course you would be hosting it yourself!

  duckduckgo added the “instant answers” sidebar for the first time back in 2014 and google did the same not too long after, so its definitely not a new issue
