  • How to Gently Move Your Non-Tech-Savvy Parents Away from American Big Tech (Without Starting a Family War)

    Jump

  • I partially agree with you. i think it is crutial to discuss and argue when there is a chance. Politely, not forcefully. Even people that don't want to change things they may eventually change their mind. From my experience, when they hear it from more sources they become interested. And sometimes if its repeated enough they will begin to see it as truth. Doesn't always work, but I saw it work with some pretty stubborn people 😀

  • There is a great video from Naomi Brockwell who basically lays out all the arguments why "I have nohing to hide" is such a bs. I'd recommend watching it and arm yourself with good arguments. That said I partially agree with the other reply, if they don't won't, don't force it. Usually its better to say your arguments for why it matters and then leave them to think about it. Often times they here it here and there and they come asking more later.

  • Just tell them (the truth) that their emails are read, their keystrokes are sent, their messages are not safe either, tell them that they have no online privacy and America sees it all (that America that is currently shooting people for recording a video). Older generations, I found, expect privacy and they usually are shocked to find out that it is breached every moment they use their mail, os, phone, etc... It is the same with my parents. The change is not fast, we always talk about one particular area (like messaging) and then they ask me themselves what they can do to fix it (like installing signal).

  • If you have one, how much do you pay for a domain name? Any cheap registrar recommendations?

    Jump

  • I tried many only to settle on cloudflare. The other services were poor or in some cases weird (like infomaniak wanting me to upload my ID). Cloudflare had good prices and the service is stable, no surprises + whois privacy included.

  • New to Tailscale. Can I use it along with my own DNS and NPM to access my services externally using my existing internal custom domain?

    Jump

  • Also use advertise-routes to get access to the network as opposed to just the node. Like e.g. 

     
        
--advertise-routes=192.168.1.0/24

  • Not true, try to selfhost your own and you will see his much it eats just to chat with it. Using just 3b model eat like 200 watts of power. Use it for an hour an you are eating as much as some laptops eat in a day while surfing. Of course if you are compare with gaming, it may be comparable with heavy games but then again that is also using a lot of power.

  • Finding a new registrar/name server for .at

    Jump

  • I did the same. I was not hiding any details. After I asked them about it, they said that they have to do it by law. After I told them I won't give them my id they returned my money and that was that. I don't see why there has to be kyc on normal domain...

    Jump

  • Yeah, I tried infomaniak and they were doing kyc on me. I aint uploading my id to a domain company. Apparently they do this often (not always) and they can do it any time and take your access if you dont comply.

  • how much do you donate to the apps you use?

    Jump

  • I live by rule "if everyone gave me 1 euro..." so I donate 1 euro/month to projects I use often (but I send actually 12/year to spare the devs some trx costs) and 1 euro/year to projects that I use sometimes (again I send 5 Eur/5 years actually). I use almost only open source and I haven't yet paid everyone. I also recently made an open source application where I didn't setup any donations channel, I simply like doing it.. Maybe in the future if I have more work on it, but not now..

  • Great scott! That's heavy.

  • Cheapest way to back up a lot of data?

    Jump

  • I am actualy paying about 5 bucks per terabyte, but I think I am still on old tarif... Oh wait they still offer it, its now called active archive and its 6 dollars per terabyte.

    Jump

  • Nobody said this here but storj is one of the cheapest storage out there and it's has redundancy and is distributed. And if you have truenas, it's kinda baked right in. They had some hiccups when communicating changes to the community, but overall nice folks.

  • Doesn't activity pub means your workouts, maps would be essentially public? That would be something for stalkers, and big tech would surely scrape that too.

  • Finding a private self hosted Google Photos alternative that doesn’t profit from my photos

    Jump

  • It feels quite equal now that immich is stable. I was actually waiting for that, because I knew the updates before the stable release were sometimes painful and I didn't want to do that on my production env. 😀

  • In immich you can also get the files organized in folders. I have it year > month > day. You can create templates for how you want to organize it.

  • Proton services generally are not bad, but I could never use Proton Drive for anything else than mid to long term backups, because they don't have it integrated with Linux. I am not angry though, it is what it is and I am only in the niche (even-though Linux is the best OS for privacy). Ever since I have setup my Truenas (and Immich) I find myself caring even less about not being able to use Proton drive 😀 That said, once they have integration I want to use it for a few files.

  • I have experience with both Ente and Immich and I can say they are both excellent. I like Ente a little bit more, but Immich is imho better for selfhosting (both are easy to self host). What I like about Immich in that regard is that it keeps photos organized as files too, they can be categorized in folders (like year > month > day and its customizable). I just want to have an option to have access to the files directly on the filesystem and if (big if) Immich dies, I still have my photos accessible and organized in directories without me needing to do anything. Ente uses s3 storage system.
