You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
Does DuckDuckGo do this as well or is that a better option, privacy-wise?
EDIT: answer is here: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/search-engines/#recommended-providers
If you need to hide IP, you just use a VPN. Duh!
And Qwant is not listed on privacyguides?
Thanks for raising awareness of FOSS Discord alternatives. Revolt certainly is the best looking of all of them.
Last time I looked into this, Revolt’s voice and video chat was “unsupported” for self-hosting while they were working on a complete rewrite. Is this still the case?
The other big FOSS Discord alternative is Synapse-Matrix with the Element X client, but no clue how far along voice and video is over there either.
Then there’s Mattermost, which is more work-oriented and has voice and screen share, but no video calls.
I should host some of this stuff to try it out.
They hit all the right Node(j)s!

What even is an actual cornball…? Genuine question. Never heard of it.
Of course mass surveillance existed long before the US had a fascist president, no one is implying that it didn’t.
It’s just that fascism is a great reminder why no government should have as much power to invade in privacy as the US has. Especially for those who are not subscribed to this community and forgot about that, so share this with them!
10·12 days agoFor anyone wondering what “TDS” means:
Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) is a pejorative term, used to describe criticism of or negative reactions to President Donald Trump that are perceived to be irrational and to have little regard for Trump’s actual policy positions.[1] The term has mainly been used by Trump supporters to discredit criticism of him, as a way of reframing the discussion by suggesting that his opponents are incapable of accurately perceiving the world.[2][3] Some journalists have used the term to call for restraint when judging Trump’s statements and actions.[4][5][6]
Despite the usage of the term syndrome suggesting a medical condition, TDS is not an official medical diagnosis.[7] A 2021 research study found no evidence to support the existence of TDS among Trump detractors on the left, but instead found bias among his supporters.[8
GitOps + Renovate.
Tools that allow you to work GitOps (everything is defined in text files in Git) are:
- Kubernetes
- NixOS
- to a lesser degree, Ansible
Here’s a nice starter template for running your own Kubernetes cluster via GitOps with Renovate pre-configured: https://github.com/onedr0p/cluster-template
Mostly yes, but there are some closed source services which are still good options for this specific threat model.
And I just thought the clear explanation of the why combined with the list, makes this an excellent blog to send to people who don’t get it yet.
The list itself is something most of the people in this community know already, but you might want to send this when someone asks “why?”

Took a look at the specification, this is what I found:
For federated servers performing delivery to a third party server, delivery SHOULD be performed asynchronously, and SHOULD additionally retry delivery to recipients if it fails due to network error.
So they should retry. Note that should is not the same as must. So there is no obligation. There is no timeline in the spec about for how long or how often retries should be done. The wording says network error.
My interpretation: the spec leaves a lot of room for implementations to differ. Network problems don’t normally last for days though. I’d guess that if your server is down for 5 minutes, you’ll still receive most or everything you’d normally receive. I wouldn’t trust on that if your server is offline for more than a day.
Yes, I test in production and so should you

The “Peter” bit reminded me: Years back, there was a viral trend on Dutch socials where women shared a hashtag “I am Peter” to raise awareness that there were more people named Peter in Boards of Directors than women.
14·26 days agoThere is a reason why NixOS was invented 21 years ago. Reproducible builds are not simple in most
packagingbuild systems.
And at your next job, at an employer who sees the value of FOSS and a nerd with strong Linux-fu!
That, in combination with an offsite backup of some kind (such as the Google Drive backup) is a great strategy
🙌 Please sign in to the community.home-assistant.io forums and vote on it then! That way we can get it some visibility and traction! 🚀
NixOS - Queer kid who gets 10/10 at every written test, but stutters so badly that they can’t do anything when asked to improvise in front of class or at speaking tests.
