Looks cool :)

typing tests

How can I say… My Android keyboard is probably lacking the proper dictionary and is probably less reactive than the native app installed by default. Not sure this test can be accurately (even professionally) tested on any device :/.

Even a typing test on a keyboard is odd. My grandma surely gonna fail this test and not because she’s old, but because she doesn’t know where the different keys/letters are placed on the keyboard.

Or am I missing something here?

Tell me how it went :) curious if it worked out !

Oh yeah so not bragging arround and/or exposing a public jellyfin/ember/plex instance?

If you only want to find duplicates give czkawka a try. It has a nice GUI too.

I don’t know how good it is for music duplicates I only used it to find duplicate pictures and worked very well !

That was an interesting read and saddening at the same time. I feel so sorry for the poor guy and all other email selfhoster.

Kind of curious here and sorry for my lack of understanding in IP stack, but isn’t IPv6 going to somehow mitigate that issue?

Isn’t there any other protocol that actually would circumvent that censorship? Like something like I2P? Or is it impossible to forward that kind of traffic over to it?

The internet is already a cesspool of censorship for “security” reason and it’s getting worse over time. Do you have any clue where or how we can join a community/group that somehow fights back those kind of unfair and monopoly behavior of big tech companies ?

Thank you !

One person but 10 fingers to write the code. That’s a lot of guys at work here.

They mostly don’t give a fuck about what you download. Just don’t share the stuff forward.

That’s a no go in the P2P community. Leeching is bad for the whole network and for everyone else. Especially on public torrents.

If you’re running an Android phone, there’s RethinkDNS which can block every requests except those explicitly allowed by yourself on the DNS level and firewall your traffic based on your rules.

It’s very customizable but It’s not that easy to get it right. You can even hook up your own wireguard tunnel and add block lists similar to uBlock.

If you want to dig deeper into the DNS blocking you can have a look at PCAPdroid which allows you to peek into wich app does what on the DNS level. While it works without rooting your phone, if you want to use it in combination with your VPN, you need root access.

Thanks for the tip !! I will certainly give it a look, It’s kinda annoying for my family members to always connect via wireguard.

For me it’s fine though, I even route my traffic to ProtonVPN but my family is always nagging how they need to “do something” to get access to the hosted services or that it “doesn’t work”.

Except that everything is under your control and not managed by a third party, not much I think.

If this setup works for you and you’re happy with it, just keep it going.

If you have time to spare, want to learn new things, tinkerer arround with network security, certificates, DNS, reverse proxy and, and, and… You can give it a try in a virtual machine and docker containers. But keep in mind that’s not an easy way and involves a lot of personal time before you get a GOOD working self-hosted / exposed services.

I wouldn’t recommend to open any port on your router except for a secured tunnel like wireguard and connect to your services through that tunnel. Opening port 443/80 on your router is bound to some heavy automated scanning and brute force by bots. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge/tool/hardware, this is just going to put you at risk of ddos and remote attacks.

That’s way something like cloudflare is populare, they most of the time take care of that nuisance and also why something like wireguard is popular among the selfhosting community.

Yeah… But not sure I2P could handle a big influx of new users over night. This will probably break the whole project if all the piracy community would switch.

But it’s very very slowly growing, I hope they are prepared for such a case.

Lutris + wineprefixes works great but most of the time it’s harder to configure and needs some search around the web to get it right !

Non-steam games with proton on steam works like nearly every time without to much hassle (if supported) !!

If you’re afraid of your account ban, create a dummy steam account only for your pirated games.

Hahaha… What a stupid take. Yeah scientific research isn’t biased and hasn’t been poisoned by conflict of interest… never has been and never will I guess? Scientific research is the ultimate truth of wisdom and you don’t need your own critical thinking anymore 😮‍💨 (Yeah the tobacco industry was right, smoking is healthy !)

when the researchers themselves are saying the work isn’t over. why are all the super geniuses in this thread so smugly announcing this topic is wrapped up?

It’s better to be safe than sorry

Edit:

Therefore, the fact that no evidence for large-scale mobile eavesdropping has been found so far should not be interpreted as an all-clear. It could only mean that it is difficult – under current circumstances perhaps even impossible – to detect such attacks effectively.

Scientific enough?

76 up’s / 68 down’s on OP’s post.

It’s very close, still the majority wins, that’s how it works, if not happy change the system not the voters.

Maybe not 24x7 but this did happened and people have reported it multiple times. If you really think those multi-billion dollars companies are not capable of or won’t do anything so sketchy because it’s not “worth it”, then it’s time to open your mind to the possibility that those companies are not your friends.

While I do get most of them, I’m really confused by NOR and XNOR.

Why is there suddenly and out of bound mask outside the circles? (If that does make sense :/)

PS: sorry for the serious question XD I probably don’t get the joke?

From another poster above, it seems only Windows machines are affected.

I get your feeling :) Don’t worry the silent majority is on your side. However they won’t comment because they fear from being banned or backslashed…

While It can’t be proven or disapproved, I also had my share of strange coincidence where my mind goes “Huh? How is that even possible?”… Kinda strange feeling! But that feeling gave me the push to the privacy route maybe in a rather to extreme direction? Always follow your guts when there’s to much noise to make a clear decision.

• RethinkDNS (block every in/out request except those manually allowed)
• Degoogles android (Shizuku+canta, magisk, debloater)
• Only open source apps and delete everything else (no exceptions here) -…

You will never get full 100% privacy or anonymity, however you can make your data as much as difficult to get and waste some of their resource and time :).

Good luck !

Yeah… This was probably intentional. Now we get why ! They didn’t put to much effort for the self-hosted version, because they didn’t want you to self-host.

I think it was… Cyberwar/crime is the new kind of war, it can be deadly and put a whole country/system on halt with a lot of consequences (human and resources).

Most people would call out conspiracy theory, but I do firmly believe that those higher ups are doing WAY more bad things behind our backs than we can imagine.

But hey we have no proofs, except those lost trails left by good people who need to hide their own asses because the government are looking for them for crime against the government?

That’s exactly why I value privacy and doing everyday my best to leave as less information about me as possible. Sure they have the mean/money to find where I live in seconds but they won’t get that information without a fight ! F#CK big corporations !

Same ! This looks so satisfying !! Hope they have proper manual though… Not an outsourced Polish only image based manual… Uhhhg !
