  Adding certificates is a 5 step process: Settings -> Privacy and Security -> View Certificates -> Import -> Select file and confirm. That’s on firefox at least, idk about chrome, but probably not significantly more complex. With screenshots, a small guide would be fairly easy to follow.

  Don’t get me wrong, I do get your point, but I don’t feel like making users add client certs to their browser storage is more work than helping them every 2 weeks because they forgot their password or shit like that lol. At least, that’s my experience. And the cool thing about client certs is they can’t really break it, unlike passwords which they can forget, or change them because they forgot, just to then forget they changed it. Once it runs, it runs.

  The “average user” shouldn’t selfhost anything. Might sound mean or like gatekeeping, but it’s the truth. It can be dangerous. There’s a reason why I hire an electrician to do my house installation even tho I theoretically know how to do it myself - because I’m not amazingly well versed in it and might burn down my house, or worse, burn down other peoples houses.

  People who are serious about selfhosting need to learn how to do it. Halfassing it will only lead to it getting breached, integrated into a botnet and being a burden on the rest of humanity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They Said Self-Hosting Was Hard! - arthurpizza⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  And I kinda don’t want to know if complex passwords and low retries before an account gets locked out are enough.

  I’ve created a custom cert that I verify within my nginx proxy using ssl_client_certificate and ssl_verify_client on. I got that cert on every device I use in the browser storage, additionally on a USB stick on my keychain in case I’m on a foreign or new machine. That is so much easier that bothering with passwords and the likes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They Said Self-Hosting Was Hard! - arthurpizza⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  People who don’t care about security are the cancer of the selfhosting-world. Billions of devices are part of a botnet because lazy owners don’t care about even the most basic shit, like changing the stock password. It’s insane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They Said Self-Hosting Was Hard! - arthurpizza⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  As long as you don’t directly connect it to the internet, it’s not hard.

  When you do, it does become hard.

  the country that invaded, couped and otherwise subjugated the majority of the world

  Correct. That one. The chechen wars, the georgian wars, the war for transnistria, the invasion of ukraine … and that is not even mentioned all their support in the middle east.

  the country with almost countless military bases around the world

  Yes. True aswell.

  While america certainly has more, let’s not pretend that russia has little or even none. They have a heavy military presence in africa, the middle east and the occupied regions south of russia.

  the country of Native genocide

  My man, after the georgian wars, there has been an ethnic cleansing of georgians in the affected regions, most noteably abkhazia and ossetia. Now, I don’t know the total numbers and could only find total death tolls, but it’s still an ethnic cleansing on a large scale.

  gunboat diplomacy

  True, russia isn’t doing that - because they are just straightup invading the country instead.

  three letter agency destabilisation

  Yes, the FSB (the direct successor of the KGB) is certainly not engaging in any destabilization around the world. They would never bomb their own people and blame chechen insurgents for it so they can break the peace treaty and attack again … ah wait. That’s exactly what they did.

  You’re dipped head to toe in propaganda

  Nah. I know exactly that america is a shitty country, especially under trump. But when putting all their misdeeds side by side and looking at it from a neutral point of view, russia has been way more harmful to the world than america. That does not mean that america has been a net-positive btw - both are shit. But russia is way worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An old excuse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Just because America, Israel and Western vassals are objectively THE main world villains of the past few decades

  It’s very hard for me to understand how russia is not on that list in the first spot ngl.

  A few years ago, I would have agreed with that statement. But I’ve read people on lemmy unironically saying “Hitler was at least sorta right” and so I just can’t really believe that anymore.

  I wouldn’t say there is “no” use case.

  For example, a friend of mine is landscape gardener and he regularly uses AI to basically help customers understand what he plans and how it would look. I made him a small webapp where he can simply snap a pic and writes a prompt like: “To this garden, add a small, round base filled with pebbles in the middle, add a bench and two metal poles left and right”. AI generates the pic, he rewrites the prompt a few times and once he’s satisfied, can show it to the customer who then exactly knows how it looks. He used to do that with photoshop himself which took him a lot longer and customers were more often unhappy with the outcome because the picture didn’t show it as clearly as the AI generated pictures do, so he had to do some adjustments, which obviously eats into the profits.

  So yeah, there is actually a good amount of use cases. However, none of those use cases requires literal trillions being pumped into the AI industry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you backup your docker images?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but I got two problems with that thought chain:

  1. I don’t want any outdated dependencies within my network. There might be a critical bug in them and if I back up the images, I keep those bugs with me. That seems pretty silly.
  2. If an application breaks because you updated dependencies, you either have to upgrade the application aswell or got some abandonware on your hands, in which case it’s probably time to find a new one.

  Damn I remember that book, that was the first book I ever got as a kid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you backup your docker images?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m kinda confused by all of the people here doing that tbh.

  The entire point of dockerfiles is to have them produce the same image over and over again. Meaning, I can take the dockerfile, spin it up on any machine on gods green earth and have it run there in the exact same state as anywhere else, minus eventual configs or files that need to be mounted.

  Now, if I’m worried about an image disappearing from a remote registry, I just download the dockerfile and have it stored locally somewhere. But backuping the entire image seems seriously weird to me and kinda goes against of the spirit of docker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GDC 2026 Report - 36% of devs use generative AI, while 28% target Steam Deck and 8% Linux⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing is, this is most certainly the case. I’m willing to bet that every dev uses LLMs every now for certain tasks. Having it find a bug you just can’t find yourself because you’ve been at the problem for like an hour, or have it implement a method that you already know how it should look like so it’s basically just a big autocomplete. I’m also willing to bet that artists will have LLM generate a concept for an asset if they are really out of ideas. It’s like asking friends “hey can you come up with an idea for X” and then you get 15 different inputs, all of them suck ass but there is something that jiggles your inspiration and lets you come up with something.

  sips tea Ah … come, sit with me for a moment. The tea is hot, and such questions are best answered slowly, with a warm belly.

  It is natural to feel anger when one has been wronged. Even the gentlest river becomes violent when dammed for too long. But we must be careful, my friend, not to mistake the force of our feelings for the wisdom of our actions.

  You ask why one should not kill their oppressors. The answer is not because they are strong, nor because they deserve mercy, nor because the world would punish you. It is because when you choose to do evil in the name of justice, you quietly invite that evil to live inside you. And once it is settled there, it does not leave easily.

  You may believe you are striking only your enemy, but violence has a poor sense of direction. It spills into the soul, changing the person who wields it. The moment you decide that a “good reason” excuses a cruel act, you teach your heart that cruelty can be justified. Soon, it will begin to justify itself.

  Oppression is a heavy chain, but hatred forges a second one, but this time around your own spirit. If you destroy another to feel free, you may discover that freedom never arrived, and only the destruction remained. True victory is not standing over your enemy’s body. True victory is refusing to become what hurt you. It is choosing a path that allows you to look at yourself in the mirror without turning away. The right reasons lose their meaning when they are carried by wrong actions. Like tea made with poisoned water, no matter how fine the leaves, the cup will only bring sickness.

  So no - do not kill your oppressors. Not for their sake, but for yours. Because the most important battle is not against them, but against the part of yourself that believes goodness can be built from blood.

  To be fair, that isn’t an entirely bad suggestion. I’ve seen so many people who take out loans to travel to like super expensive places. Or people who take one of those borderline scam phone contracts where you get the newest iPhone 213 XLLXQ for “free” but oh wait the phone contract costs 160€/month and 2 year minimum duration.

  Some people really are bad with money and thing they can live in a world they clearly can’t afford.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't using a key file the most common way to log into self-hosted servers?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think because there are ways to protect your entire systems with cryptographic keys - there’s no need for individual applications to do that themselves. You can either only make your network accessible via an SSH tunnel (which would then use SSH-Keys), use a VPN or use mTLS which would require you to install a cert into your browsers key storage.

  There’s many good solutions to this problem - no need for individual applications to do it themselves.

  I think that isn’t entirely true. Because there isn’t just a manosphere, there is also a “womanosphere” who seems to be hell-bent on exploiting men. Like, there’s a huge amount of clips of woman saying that men that don’t earn enough/are not tall enough/don’t pay everything/etc are useless. This entire situation isn’t only the fault of andrew tate and other wannabe-"alphas” - barely any situation ever is the fault of a single party - but it’s basically “teamwork” between those two really toxic bubbles and all the normal people are basically caught in the crossfire.
