- Comment on Signal gets new video call features, making it a viable alternative to Zoom, Meet and Teams 2 days ago:
I worked in similar for many years as well, including with companies that provided services to tons of hospitals. What you experienced seems pretty advanced for what I ran into, so good to know.
- Comment on Signal gets new video call features, making it a viable alternative to Zoom, Meet and Teams 2 days ago:
Yea I’ve done work in Privacy focused companies, and they love this stuff, but everyone else who isn’t a journalist… Probably not.
You mention HIPPA, and the interesting one with that (to me) is offices don’t track conversation already, so it probably wouldnt impact situations like that, but Signal chat most certainly would. Can’t report a violation if you can’t see it.

I’ll go a different route. Control.
- Comment on Signal gets new video call features, making it a viable alternative to Zoom, Meet and Teams 4 days ago:
Until you can manage a “group of people” (your company), and give them permissions to “rooms” (chats/channels) by group, Signal can’t compete.
Administrators aren’t going to one-off everything, or rely on users to do it when there is no admin visibility.
Getting admin tools right with an encrypted service is key here.
- Comment on Ecosia and Qwant, two European search engines, join forces on an index to shrink reliance on Big Tech 4 days ago:
Thats why you use it via SearXNG, just like the rest.

This happens everywhere, not just the UK. Buy local honey.

Our AI-driven export feature allows you to generate the DDL script in the dialect of your choice.
So many other options without sending my schema to a third party. Why?
- Comment on The Fediverse has empowered me to take back control from Big Tech. Now I want to help others do the same. - Elena Rossini 2 weeks ago:
No, but there will be recordings (ugh, hah). Actually had enough interest from those that missed it that I’m doing the session again tomorrow.
- Comment on Ditching the VPN and port forwarding the selfhosted way 2 weeks ago:
Oh yes, wasn’t trying to say it was a bad decision at all. If it fits your threat model, and it makes life easier, it’s probably the right choice.
- Comment on Ditching the VPN and port forwarding the selfhosted way 2 weeks ago:
surely better than Google
This contradicts your threat model comment, though. If you fear Google’s access to your data, you fear nation states, or hate Google. Cloudflare is in the same boat for size, scope, and US ownership.
- Comment on Some explicitly single-user ActivityPub software to check out 2 weeks ago:
A single user Lemmy instance is pretty low overhead if you don’t mind the All feed being the same as your Subscriptions feed.
- Comment on The Fediverse has empowered me to take back control from Big Tech. Now I want to help others do the same. - Elena Rossini 2 weeks ago:
I’m betting on the Fediverse, just like I did on Reddit all those years ago.
But, you are currently in a hype machine since you are on Lemmy. As someone who develops with ActivityPub now, there is not a big market for it at the moment.
I expect it will grow, especially as identity management standardizes (I’m actually presenting about this at a conference a bit later today), but it will likely take time.
- Comment on Static site generator for an idiot who doesn't want to learn a new templating language just to have a blog? 2 weeks ago:
Docusaurus. It’s all markdown.
- Comment on Actual Budget is a fantastic FOSS budgeting tool that you can self-host 2 weeks ago:
How does it compare to Firefly III?
- Comment on New mobile features are sh*t these days 2 weeks ago:
Oh yes, fan of theirs. My reasoning behind Framework is they actually develop for upgrades. If you have the first 13" model, you could have updated ram, CPU, ports, battery, even the screen at this point. Fairphone is very repairable, but the upgrade path hasn’t been there that I’m aware of.
- Comment on New mobile features are sh*t these days 3 weeks ago:
Maybe Framework will make an Android phone.

I posted this article earlier with this exact we context.
- Comment on Is it normal to feel tired of technological progress? 3 weeks ago:
We may have some differences, while close to the same age, I am extremely outdoors and active, constantly building something tech (not bleeding edge) or non-tech, and completely fill my time or I get ansy. So in that way I’m more like the Branson’s but overall my mentality towards “not caring” matches yours to a tee.
The skill of being able to identify what’s important in the moment and recognizing “this won’t matter in 6 months” is a learned talent I wish I could give others. I sometimes feel like it may dampen my excitement for things, being the inverse, but so far that has never really been deterrent for me…

Ever read a comment and think to yourself, “You are me, and I am you.”?

I know Solaris when I see it.
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 3 weeks ago:
Only the desktop client. And the response is that not being able to compile sans SDK is an issue they will resolve.
I still think this is bad directionally, but we need to see what happens.
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 3 weeks ago:
The clients are free.
- Comment on The ability to be spontaneous in life is directly proportion to the size of your bank account 3 weeks ago:
Yea, feels like an excuse for lack of spontinaity. Not judging OP, could be depression or any such thing, but these are two independent variables.
- Comment on I found a weird IP address on my network that had transmitted an insanely small amount of data. I put the address in my browser and got this. what the heck am I looking at? 1 month ago:
Others haven’t suggested this yet, but a single device, like your laptop, even with one connection, can have two IPs.

- Comment on On the importance of F-Droid 1 month ago:
Big fan, but if you haven’t tried Obtainium as a client, give it a go. Can manage installs from F-Droid, GitHub releases, and more.

Often times this language is used to drum up funding for exactly these types of things.
