A social app for creatives, Cara grew from 40k to 650k users in a week because artists are fed up with Meta’s AI policies | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

Artists have finally had enough with Meta’s predatory AI policies, but Meta’s loss is Cara’s gain. An artist-run, anti-AI social platform, Cara has grown from 40,000 to 650,000 users within the last week, catapulting it to the top of the App Store charts....

AFAIK, they only offer the opt-out form in the EU and UK

Randomly getting Notion email, after having deleted my account years ago... (slrpnk.net)

Welp I guess this is the perfect example of companies not deleting your credentials and account info when asking for it... I deleted my Notion account several years ago. And completely randomly today got an email from them about data retention, assuming this is one of those "important" emails they have to send out. Sadly, years...

Note: not every provider supports this.

Also, gmail addresses ignore periods. my.email@gmail.com and myem.ail+service@gmail.com will end up in the same inbox

¿Por qué no los dos?

I think SFTP would work plenty. On linux you can use rclone to mount it, and Android has many file managers that support it (personal favorite is Total Commander with the SFTP plugin)

You could also certainly host a full Nextcloud instance, but it might be a bit overkill

You can use a DNS challenge to show you are in control of the domain without having anything exposed to the net. Essentially LE gives you a special value you have to add as a TXT DNS entry. LE will check if this record exists for your domain, and gives you a certificate, no public IP involved. This even allows you to create wildcard certificates.

Email services for self hosters

So, I'm trying to set up a self-hosted mastodon instance, and of course this requires an email service. Self hosting one is not an option, because of anti-spam stuff, or so everyone says. The recommendations are to use services like mailgun or postmark, but there's one thing I don't really understand:...

I use sendgrid, it only requires some DNS entries for Domain Authentication. Also regarding the catch-22, if you use Cloudflare for DNS, you could use their email routing to forward incoming mails to Gmail

Disclaimer: I am not a professional network engineer, this is just what i found out after researching some iptables terminology.

the lan => wan is perhaps a bit misleading.
lan is the zone, or which side of the router this firewall rule is in reference to.
wan is another zone, the arrow shows where packets of type Forward are ending up.

  • Input means packets originating from another device within this zone with the router as the destination.
  • Output is a packet from the router to another device in the zone.
  • Forward is a packet originating from one zone with a destination in another zone.

When forward on the wan interface is set to reject, it essentially means no device from outside may initiate a connection. However, they may respond to already opened connection.

I don't yet know what masquerade does.

yes, lan is the Local Area Network, wan is the Wide Area Network. The zone lan refers to the devices on the local side, wan to the great internet.

Input means the packet stops at the router, like when you access its web ui. I don't think you want to give the internet access to your router settings :)
