Guadin , 1 day ago to Ask Lemmy in Do you feel that you are operating in a different reality than most of humanity?

I see a lot of people have big meta thoughts and feelings. But mine is relatively small.
I find that I live in a different reality since a lot of co-experienced events are remembered differently by the others. Let's say a work meeting, when I think that it was a nice calm and friendly meetig others are heated and steaming by all the insults. The same with emails and other communications
Also with a sportmatches. For instance when I really enjoyed a match and thought both teams did a nice job of performing, the media paints a vastly different picture where one team was really awful and performed well belowed standards.

So my perception of reality seems really of from the rest of the population.

Guadin , 4 days ago to Selfhosted in Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked?

I don't get why they say that? Sure, maybe the attackers don't know that I'm on Ubuntu 21.2 but if they come across https://paperless.myproxy.com and the Paperless-NGX website opens, I'm pretty sure they know they just visited a Paperless install and can try the exploits they know.
Yes, the last part was a bit snarky, but I am truly curious how it can help? Since I've looked at proxies multiple times to use it for my selfhosted stuff but I never saw really practical examples of what to do and how to set it up to add an safety/security layer so I always fall back to my VPN and leave it at that.

Leaning on Google’s expertise in privacy and security

Lol. Google's expertise on privacy. Yeah, they probably know really well how to circumnavigate all those pesky privacy rules.

Guadin , 13 days ago to Technology in US sues Adobe for ‘deceiving’ subscriptions that are too hard to cancel | The Justice Department alleges that Adobe hid early cancellation fees and trapped consumers in pricey subscriptions

I've been on the verge of cancelling my subscription for multiple times now. But everytime I try an alternative it's missing something (for instance capture one mobile does not do masks/layers...), and so I keep shipping shitloads of money to a company which has dickass privacy rules and extorts you out of money.

Guadin , 1 month ago to Selfhosted in Is it safe to open a forgejo git ssh port in my router?

Blocking outgoing traffic isn't needed. But was mere a headsup if that is something you've alread setup.
What router do you have? Usually when you open a port there is a dropdown menu or checkboxes for what kind of connection the port opening is allowed.

Guadin , 1 month ago (edited 26 days ago) to Selfhosted in Is it safe to open a forgejo git ssh port in my router?

If your forgejo host needs to connect to the outside world, you can open the port for incomming traffic only for related and established traffic. That way when somebody wants to connect to your port as a new connection it will fail. So when somebody has bad intentions, it will not work unless you've already connected to them in the first place. You need to permit outgoing traffic from forgejo if you block outgoing traffic.

What a shock, BaaS is not interesting anymore.

That's funny I just looked at your site and vacancies today. I do not qualify for any of those spots though. You've got an impressive amount of services build up. Keep up the good work!

Guadin OP , 1 month ago to Selfhosted in Hosting a writefreely.org instance

Thanks, I was also doubting about Hugo but came about writefreely as well.

Guadin , 1 month ago to No Stupid Questions in Is triple triple the same as triple triple triple?

Okay, treating this seriously. No: triple triple = 333 333 333. Triple triple triple = 333 333 333 333 333 333 333 333 333.

Guadin , 2 months ago to Android in Share your Tasker Automations

I had a task running which would scan all incoming calls on all SIM cards. It then checked the numbers for known contacts and if they are unknown it would check if they called multiple times.
I made it because I was bothered by a lot of spam/scam callers. This task would block all notifications, vibrations and ringtones. So it didn't bother me at all that they called.

Guadin , 2 months ago to Android in Safest way of using WeChat

You can put it in a work profile and trust that Android is protective enough to keep your data safe and access limited. Otherwise buy a second phone just to put WeChat on it. Don't know how WeChat works, but if it's like Whatsapp then you don't need to bother with a secondary number.
