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.
With mobile I also meant iPad so they're good on that. To me "Photo" has a lot of Photoshop abilities (drawing, pencils, etc.) while it lacks, or seems to lack, some Lightroom functions (categorizing, overview of photos, ratings, etc.). But maybe I haven't looked at it good enough. It's certainly a good option to replace photoshop for me, because I don't use most functions of photoshop.
That looks great. It's mostly a Photoshop replacement right? I'm also looking for something to replace Lightroom, with the same amount of functions on desktop as on iPad. Any recommendations?
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.
Going to try both. Someone else mentioned the dummy HDMI plug as well, so I got good hopes for that. Also going to look into Incuss. Never heard of it before.
Thanks, going to do this as well. I had it on a monitor for a while and all looked fine while logged in on the console. Would be a bummer though if this would be true.
Hmm, this does sound like it makes sense. I got the feeling that as soon as I removed the monitor it would stop working in a couple of minutes. But I thought that couldn't be. Thanks for the tip! Going to see if that helps and I'm going to update the BIOS.
Never heard of Quiblr but I really like the look and feel of. Also great that you added a "For you page". Any chance you can add kbin/mbin instances? Is Quiblr like a frontend which pulls data from other instances or is it an other fediverse piece of software? And are we able to selfhost Quiblr?
On macOS you need to do that quite a couple of times. Changing settings, installing stuff to run in the background, install stuff to open open login, etc. So it is there.
Furthermore a lot of programs and guides for linux are written to make it easy so they use sudo but you don't always have to run it as root. But not doing so usually requires more steps. So linux is more restricting but to circumvent that, people use sudo a bit too much.
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.
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.
You're right that they are miles ahead of other companies regarding communication and opt-out. And indeed it's rare that they will adhere to your choice when they implement new functions. For new users it's good to know that they perhaps want to switch this data collection off.
Maybe it's a knee jerk reaction from my side: wanting to increase privacy and seeing this message brought up some worries. Especially because other companies started the same. Google also disguises stuff for better privacy or security, but in the end it's just to prevent users from blocking their data analytics.
