Been working with Linux every day for over a decade at my job. At home I run the most boring generic shit.

Once EOL hits I’m switching to Linux.

The results are very interesting. For me, the most unique thing about my browser was that I had two system languages, and so the accept-language header was very unique.

I now use vanadium (graphene OS), which simply sends made up values for a lot of headers, and so makes fingerprinting harder.

In general, you should try to be as “normal” as possible, use standard settings for everything, just accept English, etc…

I wonder how accurate you can date a picture based on jpeg artifacts and resolution.

I’m not sure if you’ve ever had a public project, but for most people, be it YouTube, twitch, github, whatever, its not so easy. Negative comments grate on you, and, over time, can really take a toll.

William Osman interviewed a bunch or creators about this: https://youtu.be/DVCpKfedfok?si=_7Y13T00rfoSQPDN

Its not as easy as to call people out. Some people go great lengths out of spite, doxx you, send you death threats… Is it really worth it? Not that a “fuck off” will work anyway.

You say people will join you but they really don’t. The reality is there are a ton of crucial open source projects being run by one person on the edge of burnout. See curl, xy, etc.

Money absolutely would help and I wish the EU would put additional funding into this.

I would put truenas on the NAS, also put a VM on truenas with 16-24G of RAM.

Create a kubernetes or docker swarm cluster with server 1 and the nas vm and just have everything as containers. This way you just have one resource pool, and the containers will be started wherever there are enough resources available. The containers will mount NFS shares from truenas which truenas will create automatically as ZFS datasets. ZFS supports snapshots.

It gets funnier. A millionaire flew two flat earthers to the south pole where they proceeded to live stream the 24 h sun. Its called “the final experiment”. Yet one of the flat earthers still said the earth was flat.

This is probably the way, because a traditional “mail server” is actually 4-5 different servers working together.

• postfix for SMTP
• dovecot for IMAP
• amavis to plug in…
• spamassassin as anti spam
• clam-av as antivirus

And they can all be very easily misconfigured to break everything completely. Great learning experience though.

GrapheneOS provides users with the ability to set a duress PIN/Password that will irreversibly wipe the device (along with any installed eSIMs) once entered anywhere where the device credentials are requested (on the lockscreen, along with any such prompt in the OS).

No I’ve never seen this. Usually they send you an email to the admin address of the domain with the code.

Its always encrypted, just that the keys are in RAM when it runs.

In case of graphene though you can have a distress pin that wipes the encryption keys, making the phones content irrecoverable.

AES is already post quantum crypto so that sounds a bit marketingy.

I’m using it and never going back.

It’s not just the privacy aspect, but the fact that most results in other search engines suck. The first two pages would usually be ads - first the bought ones, then company websites and copywritten blogs. I get that way less with kagi. I find useful stuff faster and my brain is less polluted.

Jokes on you, using AI I got that time down to 4 hours trying to convince it to create working code, and 3 hours of debugging.

Nextcloud has collabora integrated.

I would put this stuff behind VPN.

The question to ask yourself is why is cloudflare offering that service for free? Probably because they get something out of it, like analysing the data.

Seems weird to me, the router would need to do deep packet inspection of DNS and selectively block specific ones. It feels more like you’ve set up your DNS to do forwarding instead of resolution. Can you post a network diagram and the DNS config?

Do tcpdump host $server instead. Otherwise you will only see the request (the response goes to a different port).

Just to be sure you do dig A @server $domain (with the “A”) and can confirm the following

SERVER is your server

;; ANSWER SECTION is empty (or doesn’t exist)

;; AUTHORITY SECTION mentions your local DNS server

Also check

dig NS @server $domain

Is your server in the answer section?
