I am a software engineer living and working in Belgrade, Serbia. My hobbies contain a lot of things including cycling, bikepacking, photography. My political view are closer to left-wing anarchism.

  • Are there any alternatives to the Internet Archive that are built around P2P, so that everyone can contribute to hosting/sharing web archives? Seems like having all these important archives hosted by

  • Sounds like a potential application for a blockchain techs, that allows to do verifications, voting and consensus.

  • What the hell Proton!

  • It supports via GMS sandbox. So, I can install google camera, maps, bank app, insta360 app, an app for my bike computer, etc. But in that case I prefer to use Proton VPN that hides my real IP from all these apps and also block some tracker endpoints.

  • I have Pixel with GrapheneOS and I tried most of FOSS camera apps, but all of them are still far behind the GCam. I hope one day there will be a good replacement, but not today.

    I'm using Organic / OsmAnd for most of use cases and daily navigation. But if you need to find a specific office, shop, food or ATM nearby you still need GMap from time to time...

  • And for the latter problem, don't use such apps except in closed environments or without internet access.

    While that is a right answer, I do not want to avoid such apps because I need them. I need my mobile bank app, I need google camera, sometimes I need Google maps, etc. For me using VPN to hide my real IP from greedy apps and to hide DNS requests from the cracked public WiFi is still a good tradeoff between security, privacy and my own user experience.

  • But most spots don't have the resources or expertise to analyze and sell or otherwise misuse your logs.

    Most spots don't have also the resources or expertise to secure their own spot. As I remember, cheap routers used in public places may contain a lot of vulnerabilities.

    encrypted DNS

    Will it help me if I'm using LbreTorrent do download piracy content on my phone? Or how it would help me to hide my location from mobile apps that extract location from IP?

  • Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months

    Jump

  • For me the problem is more in GPL violation: they distribute blobs under GPL3, user made a request of the source code by creating an issue, but they ignored that request. It is not only about "you have to fix it" versus "just fork it" imo.

  • Problem of Proton Drive is not only in the missing linux client. There is no support of WebDAV that makes integration with many open source tools (like note taking apps or photo management tools) almost impossible. Nextcloud is much better for me. Without a WebDAV (or one of other popular APIs) it looks like an attempt to create "walled garden" with vendor-lock on Proton, imo.

  • How Telegram's Founder Pavel Durov Became a Culture War Martyr [404]

    Jump

  • I heard that in USA Telegram is used mostly by conservatives, trans-haters and drug dealers. But in Russia where I was born and where I have been living until the war, Telegram was a single source of alternative news and the main tool for opposition to putin. I had a talk with an Iranian guy recently and he told me the same: in Iran Telegram is the only source of non-state-propaganda news.

    I do not care that Durov is just a billionaire who makes money on the trend of privacy. But I remember how Telegram successfully fought against attempt of blocking in Russia in 2018 by providing regular updates and using different techniques to avoid blocking. An attack on Telegram for me is an attack on the latest opposition to putin, khamenei, lukashenko and others.

  • What OSS tools do you use for personal knowledge & task management?

    Jump

  • No, I have two different things:

    • org-mode files with schedule, diary, tasks, etc.
    • knowledge base, org-roam (orgnote). I have a single base but it contains graphs about topics and these graphs are not connected

    I like that approach, because I use orgzly-reviwed on Android with a notifications. And because it is simpler to maintain knowledge base.

  • What OSS tools do you use for personal knowledge & task management?

    Jump

  • Yes... org-mode is more than 20 years old... It is a price of flexibility: I have a strong feeling that one can adjust org-mode to any workflow. But I do not use even a third of the org specification. There are a lot of cool blog posts like "org mode quick start" or "org mode basics", I would recommend to start from such posts, not from a documentation.

  • What OSS tools do you use for personal knowledge & task management?

    Jump

  • For me one of the most flexible and mature way to knowledge base, tasks and notes is an org-mode.

    I have two main workflows. The first one is task management. I have a lot of recurring tasks with tags, deadlines, schedules, etc. All of them are living in org-files in my Nextcloud. On Android I'm using orgzly-reviwed for sync via WebDAV, on my work I'm using organice (via WebDAV) as a "web-version" and also I'm editing my notes in emacs on my laptop (but actually any text editor could be used).

    The second one is a knowledge base. I'm using org-roam locally (and with a localhost web server, built in into emacs) and orgnote for Android/Web + synchronization. My knowledge base is Zettelkasten-based.

    Orgnote: https://github.com/Artawower/orgnote

    Orgnote provide a way to encrypt all notes by your own key/password. With orgzly I'm relying on Nextcloud encryption.

  • How do i convince my brother privacy is important?

    Jump

  • I would refer to the recent FTC questions to "algorithmic pricing practices". Long story short it was about some companies are using browser data, accounts data, etc. for "smart" pricing. Your brother may not care about someone watching him but I don't think he wants to pay for the same goods more than others.

  • I do not like the idea of the collective guilt. It is totally right imo to hate politicians and soldiers. But to hate the whole country is a bad way imo.

  • If I already use Pandas for processing my data in-memory, CoW can significantly improve the performance. That was my point.
