If you're not paying for a service, you're likely being monetized by watching ads or providing personal data to companies that don't necessarily have your best interests at heart.

This is a bit out of date. Nowadays, you pay for the service and are monetized by watching ads and providing personal data to companies that definitely don't have your best interests at heart.

I definitely trust Proton much more than I trust myself.

I think you dropped this: \

Thank you for the text summary!

Why would you need to continue using the self-signed certificates for the Cloudflare connection? Just use the valid certificate for all connections.

What email provider do you use for sign ups?

I used to use Protonmail, however the verification steps become tedious when creating unique emails for sign ups. I've switched to Tutanota despite it contravening their one account policy. What do you all use for one off emails (for sign ups etc )? Or do you prefer one of those 10 minute email sites?

TheButtonJustSpins ,

If you're paying for Proton, you have access to SimpleLogin, which lets you make unique addresses that will forward to your real address. You can even respond from those addresses.

There are several other services that do the same thing (e.g., AnonAddy).

The issue is keeping them working. My wife has iPods (gen 3?). We've backed Tangara in the hope that it will replicate the experience and let us finally replace them. It's surprisingly difficult (read: impossible) to get something that plays music, has a wakeup alarm, and has a sleep timer.

TheButtonJustSpins ,
  1. Touchscreen. Needs physical buttons.
  2. Has too much functionality. Not good for sleep hygiene.
TheButtonJustSpins ,

I mean, you don't have to watch it.

Damn, where'd you find that deal?

Why Your VPN May Not Be As Secure As It Claims (krebsonsecurity.com)

Virtual private networking (VPN) companies market their services as a way to prevent anyone from snooping on your Internet usage. But new research suggests this is a dangerous assumption when connecting to a VPN via an untrusted network, because attackers on the same network could force a target’s traffic off of the protection...

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Why does running the VPN in a VM mitigate the attack?

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Both. For physical documents, you add an ASN and store the document in a binder in ASN order.

Reaching service through domain from local network

I think i have a stupid question but i couldn't find answer to it so far :( When i want to reach a service that i host on my own server at home from the local network at home, is using a public domain effective way to do it or should i always use server's IP when configuring something inside LAN? Is my traffic routed through the...

TheButtonJustSpins ,

You want to split your domain so it resolves to a private IP internally and a public IP externally. So, your internal DNS server should return internal IPs.

  1. Being able to follow Bluetooth beacons is far from new.
  2. The listening in is done by the phone apps, which isn't a Bluetooth issue.
TheButtonJustSpins ,

Revolt also actively discourages you from self hosting because they want to get the network effect going, and you can't do that if everything is splintered.

I have yet to find a Discord alternative, and I've looked a few times.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Almost certainly.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Conceptually, if the thought is to hide traffic, self hosting doesn't add anything, unless you make it public (which I wouldn't) and have multiple people using it.

Docker network pools are huge by default. I had to change this as well.

This article covers the issue and the solution in detail:
https://straz.to/2021-09-08-docker-address-pools/

If you just want the solution, skip to the section titled How to configure docker to allow >500 bridge networks. I think you'll need to remake all your networks after making the change, if I remember correctly.

Here's my config now:

$ sudo cat /etc/docker/daemon.json
{
  "default-address-pools": [
    { "base":"172.16.0.0/12", "size":24 },
    { "base":"172.17.0.0/12", "size":24 },
    { "base":"172.18.0.0/12", "size":24 },
    { "base":"172.19.0.0/12", "size":24 },
    { "base":"172.20.0.0/12", "size":24 },
    { "base":"172.21.0.0/12", "size":24 },
    { "base":"172.22.0.0/12", "size":24 },
    { "base":"172.23.0.0/12", "size":24 },
    { "base":"172.24.0.0/12", "size":24 },
    { "base":"172.25.0.0/12", "size":24 },
    { "base":"172.26.0.0/12", "size":24 },
    { "base":"172.27.0.0/12", "size":24 },
    { "base":"172.28.0.0/12", "size":24 },
    { "base":"172.29.0.0/12", "size":24 },
    { "base":"172.30.0.0/12", "size":24 },
    { "base":"172.31.0.0/12", "size":24 }
  ],
  "log-opts": {
    "max-size": "1g"
  }
}
TheButtonJustSpins ,

Good point!

TheButtonJustSpins ,

I still need to get this back up after the database requirement took it down

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Yes, that would work. Highly recommend installing docker and running in containers. (Except Tailscale, probably; that would be native.)

TheButtonJustSpins ,

I'm on pfSense+, but I'll be switching to opnSense eventually.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

I love SimpleLogin. I have my domain pointing to it so I can just do servicename@mydoma.in and it automatically creates the alias, I don't even need to create it beforehand.

Amazon is working on a new paid subscription plan for its Alexa voice assistant (www.businessinsider.com)

Amazon is revamping its Alexa voice assistant as it prepares to launch a new paid subscription plan this year, according to internal documents and people familiar with the matter. But the change is causing internal conflict and may lead to further delay.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Rhasspy. Takes a bit of setup, it's not as plug and play.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

It says this is inspired by 13ft Ladder, which is also self hosted. What's the difference between the two?

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Try Petal Maps; might be able to replace Google Maps for you. It also has traffic info.

TheButtonJustSpins ,

Which is through SimpleLogin, which Proton bought.
