Ultimately, arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

Mullvad also put together this recently: https://mullvad.net/en/why-privacy-matters/nothing-to-hide

ResoluteCatnap ,

Look into a static website built with Hugo. You'll be creating pages in markdown like obsidian. You can host it locally so there's no privacy concerns.

If you want it externally facing then there are some options but you'll need to find a site to host your static website and who you're comfortable with their privacy policy.

Did we read the same blog announcement?

Proton AG will still need to be financially feasible. That is not changing. You can still not give them money if youd wish. They just have backed up their mission statement with actions instead of just words.

ResoluteCatnap ,

You can self host and make it accessible only to you from anywhere in the world.

You might be thinking about it not fulfilling the 3-2-1 backup strategy, but as long as you have a remote copy of the data through some means then you have the remote copy fulfilled.

They've already gone downhill since 2020 when they couldn't keep up with the demand and focused on B2B sales. This really isn't a surprise to me

ResoluteCatnap ,

They did, and they still have the rpi foundation with that goal, as well as the for-profit subsidiary.

It's a flaw with effective altriusm-- you have a goal of fixing some large scale problem and at some point you realize you need large amounts of capital to expand your impact. But the interim period you are just going to be amassing wealth with this idea of doing good. And even then, you may never reach a point where you feel like you earned enough to solve your problem. I.e sam bankman fried

Now I'm not saying that rpi foundation hasn't done good in the world. I'm just saying that they did start off with a lofty goal and it is clear that they are wanting to expand and make more money. Maybe this means someday they'll be able to do even greater things through the rpi foundation.... but I'm not optimistic

ResoluteCatnap ,

Why didn't you contribute this feature sooner then?

ResoluteCatnap ,

Id set up a static website with Hugo. You can preview and build locally. Or put it on your home network and vpn in if you need remote access to make an entry.

In your content folder you could do content/[year]/[month]/[day]/index.md, and have a _index.md in the year and in month folders so there would be pages with automatic collection of articles under that year/ month. You could also subdivide the content folder into health/ general/ shower thoughts and other "types" of journals

They have support for tags, categories, and custom taxonomies. So if you wanted to have "people" category you could, and then a "thing" category or any other sort of way to tag the content.

What else do you expect from a company that first started with NFTs?

of course they are going to scam and gaslight you

Similar experience here. Bike commuted year around for a decade and went through multiple blizzards. Helped more drivers get unstuck than i can count

Frequently did the commute sub-zero. If you have the gear it isn't that bad. And i never had to worry about my bike not starting.

Its not any different than how it already was. Initially the GenAI models were all being trained on masses of unlicensed data including data from reddit. The problem is some companies like New York Times are suing for training an LLM off of their data. So in response companies like OpenAI are now trying to reach partnerships that basically license the use of the data (that they already had). This also means that they will be able to continue to have future access to that data as long as the partnership is in place. Whereas some companies without a partnership could start to ban scraping activity or update their terms to forbid training AI off of their data.

Overall these partnerships are a good thing. Licensed training data is good. But from a privacy standpoint, the AI models were already trained on reddit data. This is just formalizing the relationship

Proton: "Introducing Dark Web Monitoring for credential leaks"

ResoluteCatnap ,

Id need a paid haveibeenpwned subscription for domain level support. Proton is adding this to their existing subscription services to add value to what they offer. It's a smart move, especially once they add in catch-all/SL alias support

ResoluteCatnap ,

Not end to end encrypted afaict. The only way id ever consider a service like this is if it was e2e.

Also incogni is owned by surfshark which i think is more important than their partnership with nordvpn

ResoluteCatnap ,

Few years ago they killed their killswitch . I believe it was technically still an option but they reduced it's capabilities so that it wasn't functionally a reliable killswitch.

They also got heat for installing root CA certs. https://www.techradar.com/news/new-research-reveals-surfshark-turbovpn-vyprvpn-are-installing-risky-root-certificates

I believe both issues are "fixed", but they were some questionable decisions

ResoluteCatnap ,

From what I've heard self hosting your email though can be a big PITA so paying someone for email is not a terrible choice. Self hosting you need to carefully manage the system and reputation to make sure your email that you send actually gets delivered, and doesn't arrive in spam.

ResoluteCatnap ,

The problem is that the names weren't provided by users to glassdoor. If glassdoor stumbles across someone's real name then they have automatically attached it to the user profile. They're doxxing their users so now people have to worry if they ever used the service.

    I applied for food stamps when i was in college. I was financially independent (kicked out at 17), was working two part jobs to make ends meet, and met the requirements. When my dad found out about the food stamps he lost his mind and tried to sell me on this whole "ask family" bullshit when he was the one that cut me off and always had strings attached to his help. So yeah i took the food stamps. It sure hurt his pride that someone in our family would be on food stamps. But fuck pride, i needed to eat.

    Very misleading title

    ResoluteCatnap ,

    Hackers didn't hack roku. They "hacked" people who were dumb enough to reuse old, compromised passwords from other services. That is a very big difference from OPs title "roku got hacked".

    It is good for roku to disclose this, but the issue is that people reused passwords.

    You will assimilate

    It depends on where you live. This absolutely is the present now in some countries. Like China you have to do this and more to protect your identity.

    And even if your country isn't quite there yet, they could still be collecting all that data and just not doing anything with it other than observing and collecting more data on you/ the group.

    ResoluteCatnap ,

    If you haven't already, check out https://choosealicense.com/licenses/ . This gives a broad overview of the common open source licenses. And if you're just starting out, one of the first things you'll want to learn is that the licenses fall into either a permissive or copyleft category. You'll want to make sure you understand the difference between those broad categories.

    Shortly, permissive have less to no strings attached to use their code, and copyleft requires you to retain the same licensing terms meaning if you publish under GPLv3 then someone using/ modifying your code needs to also publish under GPLv3. Copyleft licenses ensure that open source code stays open source.

    Active DDoS mitigation

    Netlify monitors for traffic pattern anomalies and spikes, and effectively controls for them as needed.

    https://www.netlify.com/security/

    So is this just a lie? I have never used them and after this post I'm not going to be trying that anytime soon, if ever

    ResoluteCatnap ,

    Sounds like this was "resolved" on HN and CEO said this was an error, but I'm not so sure. The CEO's response seems to imply that that communication to/from service reps is true and not made up. The original post shows they have a business practice for cases like this. Plus if the company was willing to settle from their business practice of 20% down to 5% (which in this case was 15k) then that very likely isn't a decision a service rep could make, so you had some mid to upper level manager make that approval to write-off the $15k and decide that $5k was still owed to the company.

    As far as I can tell the only error here is that someone posted about it.

    Not to mention the CEO's response from HN just says this shouldn't have happened on free accounts, but that begs the question of would this have been any different on non-free accounts where Netlify failed to mitigate a DDoS as advertised?

    ResoluteCatnap ,

    Essentially. Police or anyone could report an account for illegal activity which is against ToS for all three of the services. From there the service would need to be able to substantiate the claim and then shut down the account. I've seen a few cases of proton accounts getting shut down. Proton can't read emails but they can read headers and if you've posted illegal activity in public using your proton email address or if law enforcement/ someone reports you for using proton for illegal activity then proton will be able to review headers to determine if you're violating ToS. Like a few years ago i think someone was using proton for ransomware, and proton was able to match the headers with emails that had been posted in public, and acct got shut down.

    Unfortunately can't find that specific case but that was one example I've seen

    ResoluteCatnap ,

    For a decade i didn't own a car and biked everywhere. It really is dirt cheap compared to other methods of transportation.

    And yeah more off topic but checking your chain for wear and replacing it becomes the most important/frequent replacement item. A worn chain wears out the rest of the drivetrain more quickly-- it is much cheaper to stay on top of replacing the chain than have to replace your cassette and chainrings sooner than normal.

    ResoluteCatnap ,

    I thought you were exaggerating...lmao

    Right now, these options are in beta, and will be rolling out to everyone in the coming weeks.

    How to Stop Your X Account From Getting Hacked Like the SEC’s (www.wired.com)

    X’s move to make people pay for a basic form of two-factor is problematic. It also created confusion because the company prompted free users to switch away from SMS two-factor, but then seemingly simply turned off the protection altogether for those who didn’t. This likely left a group of users in a situation where they...

    ResoluteCatnap ,

    Paying for 2FA seems to be a new low. And I'm not sure i could use any service that tried that.
