Yeah with a docker container running 24/7 and a phone app it’s much better. they also have a setting where deleted files on phone are simply moved to archive on the server.

Having setup both, ive found syncthing to be much simpler. I would probably not go through the headache of setting up https and databases for next cloud again…

How can you ever learn the risks of exposing ports if all answers are “if you don’t know you shouldn’t do it”?

The post explicitly recommends ONLY exposing the wireguard port, not 80/443/22 which one should usually not do anyways. Very different things!

Yeah it’s good to have a system separate from the main server. It’s always so frustrating having to debug wireguard issues cause there’s some problem with docker

Ssh behind a wire guard VPN server is technically more secure if you don’t have a key-only login, but a pain if the container goes down or if you need to access the server without access to wireguards VPN client on your device.

What microwave do you have? I would love if my microwave cooks custom order.

I spent >100$ on concert tickets to listen to artists I found on Spotify. Probably would not have spent this money nor discovered those artists by listening to 50 songs downloaded 10 years ago from Limewire.

Hydro is also quite independent but it’s heavily dependent on geography. That’s how Canada is able to be much ahead in renewable energy.

DP World will wind up with Hyperloop One’s intellectual property, Bloomberg reports, while the rest of its hard assets — including a test track outside Las Vegas and other machinery — will be sold off.

Wonder how much of the value (if any) was in the IP, which will be solely owned by a company mainly focused on maritime trade.

Enabled by default but can’t be disabled…

Gemini nano will run on Pixel 8 pro but performance will be worse than Gemini pro/ultra.

Was this written with Gemini?

Does the verdict mention anything about the DNS service itself (buying a website through cloudflare and setting up records)? Or is it just concerning the public DNS resolver (1.1.1.1?)

Android is Linux-based but it has a modified kernel. It might be subtle but the entire design philosophy of Android is mobile first, which is very different of Ubuntu or Arch.

But there the similarities end. AWS created custom firmware and ripped out anything remotely related to running a consumer device, replacing it with software designed solely to create a secure connection between the device and desktops running in the Amazonian cloud.

If they are going to rewrite the firmware, remove most of the features, why even bother with an OS designed for touch screens and partially written in Java? Can’t they fork one of the 22 ARM Linux distributions?

I’m curious why it runs android instead of Linux.

Phone numbers will still be required to sign up, you only won’t need it to add a contact.

SMS is dead, so they will need to move on eventually. Most carriers are moving towards high data plans now. I mainly use it for verification, although I’d rather use more secure methods.

The article says it’s to limit spam. I don’t feel platforms like Lemmy (or the other platform) are particularly spammy though. On the other hand I get a lot more spam on Whatsapp, even though it’s phone number bound.

Signal is pretty good in terms of limited spam, but I’m curious about the impact if they A/B test the removal and see how much spam would arise. Obviously that could only be implemented after they remove the need to add contact via phone number.

The cost of these registration services for verifying phone numbers when people first install Signal, or when they re-register on a new device, currently averages around $6 million dollars per year.

That’s pretty crazy. Wonder which third party providers they are using. Maybe the identity verification methods we have today is due for some significant changes?
