  • Ways to convince people to take online privacy seriously - common objections debunked

    Jump

  • That is an entirely valid point - and exactly why I wrote that blog post. To help people to explain to those around them that they also need to do something about their privacy. Otherwise they're giving you away by association.

    Come to think of it, I probably should have mentioned that in the post 🤦🏼‍♂️

  • Good points.

    Similar to the other reply - I haven't moved to a privacy OS on Android yet because of money.

    My fancy Samsung is not supported by those OSs (yet).

  • ah damn, I didn't know that.... I really like those dropdowns as they shrink the article a bit. ok will have to consider not using them.

    FYI when you get the blog by email they are expanded by default.

    Have you tried viewing it in an RSS reader? (Ghost blogs you just append with /rss)

  • yeah i'm here. You mean without the ?tracker part to the URL...?

    It's a Ghost blog and that gets added automatically - I'd rather it wasn't there but I don't know how to stop that, sorry.

  • Showing that they blocked right wing stuff in the past, and now align with the right wing, demonstrates that big tech doesn't care about sides - they just want money and power.

  • My non-profit the Rebel Tech Alliance is working on a series of blog posts that will look at self hosting for begginners. If you sign up for the blog you'll get them when they're published:

    https://blog.rebeltechalliance.org/

    Or our main website is at https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/

    But really what I've got going (if you exclude Transmission) is the simplest stuff. Jellyfin, Calibre and Syncthing are just 'click and install' - they are all self contained so they don't need all that Docker stuff. I suggest just tinkering with them.

  • Also running Calibre, Syncthing, Transmission and Filen. all on Linux Mint.

    I can't cope with TUI-only OS's - the command stuff makes no sense to me at all. I've learned some of it, and am trying to get Nextcloud running in Docker behind Nginx Proxy Manager, but I can't work out DDNS yet so.... 😂

    I was keen on Proxmox or Yunohost, but put off by the fact that they totally replace the OS. I'd be more comfortable with something that runs on the OS, like Docker does.

  • Thank you for your help!

    We have fixed it - the problem was that I had already set up DNS records so that Tuta could send emails using our website domain. This was blocking the proper set up of mailgun/transactional emails.

    So we worked out how to set up emails for the business separately using the SMPT email server of our web hosting provider - et voila! Email set up works!

  • Hi there, fair enough that's true for now, but we tried to future proof it by putting Freemium based on what they say here

    https://simplex.chat/faq/#how-are-you-funded

    "What will be the business model? We are focusing on product-market fit, and as such the business model is still a work in progress. However, the app will have a freemium model with extra features or capabilities for paid users (taking into consideration a potential formula like 5% paying $5/month is $3/user/year - ~90% gross profit margin)."

    I'm considering setting up a home lab and truly self-hosting my own services. Unfortunately, my budget is limited to around $100-$150. I'm wondering if the HP Elitedesk mini PC is suitable for this

  • That doesn't seem to be appropriate for a specific domain. Unless I'm reading it wrong.

    We need to expose the Ghost blog on a specific subdomain of the domain we own ( blog.ourdomain.org )

    doesn't Tailscale Funnel assign a funky domain name rather than let you use your own?
