❤️ sex work is work ✊
I just want to encourage you to reconsider. Docker (or podman) is worth taking the time to figure out. It’s not particularly difficult to learn the basics of, and is extremely powerful.
Your life as a self-hoster will be massively simplified by spending a weekend learning to use docker or podman. Not using containerization is like opting in to hard mode with dependency and configuration hell.
There are a few:
I’m not a user of any of those, but from descriptions and screenshots alone they look decent.
How would that work? How would you distinguish the “pedos” visiting from anyone else? Whatever these “children specific sites” you’re referring to, are children going to create, host, and manage them all on their own without any adults ever to help them at any level?
That’s not a fair statement to make. As published in their FAQ, developer time is not what’s lacking in the effort to support more devices:
For most [unsupported] devices, the hardware and firmware will prevent providing a reasonably secure device, regardless of the work put into device support.
I agree! Though, I think the OP is a bot judging by it’s post history, despite not marking itself as one.
I agree with not using the term “sideloading”, but let’s not adopt right wing shame tactics by coining a portmanteau that conflates people’s harmless sexual kinks (e.g., cuckolding) with negativity. It’s sufficient to just avoid app stores, there is no need for childish shorthand.
Also, I don’t see how you are providing anything here resembling a “guide”. You’re stating an opinion, which is fine, but that’s not a guide.
If you’re like me, and you have no idea what Openclaw is, and noticed that the project linked doesn’t explain it either: Openclaw is apparently some sort of AI bot that performs tasks on your personal data without your input.
Thanks for sharing, but I imagine it doesn’t get mentioned as much here because from a privacy perspective, that app seems kinds shady.
No source code available as far as I can tell, no builds available from a reputable source like F-Droid (just unvetted APK downloads from someone’s Google Drive), no apparent issue tracker beyond a confusing and seemingly outdated network of thread links from 2016 on a forum.
No, we don’t force anyone to do anything, electric replacements are offered as a “free” upgrade. We’re a housing cooperative, so technically it’s not free, but it’s paid for by the community’s collective funds.
The other main problem is that people routinely forget to turn off their stoves. We’ve had the fire department come multiple times this year alone because someone left their gas on and filled their unit with it. One resident left his gas open for who knows how long before he passed out in his living room and shit himself. Luckily someone found him and called the paramedics.
I guess if it was one person living in the wilderness and they blew themselves up or suffocated, then that’s on them. In a community though, it endangers everyone nearby.
Gas is not safe.
Speaking as a board member in a housing community where we are actively dealing with residents who claim that their precious gas stoves are safe and they don’t want electric replacements, I appreciate this post being shared.
Isn’t that exactly to be expected, and part of the whole point of the thing? It’s preventing connections to abusive service endpoints, of course it’s going to break things. The idea is that the things it breaks are not desirable, even when it means a game doesn’t work anymore. You have to choose which you want more: privacy, or playing that game.
This looks great so far! I love the concept of an app that makes conversions easy for the most typical use cases.
It looks like you’re still early in the UI phase, so you probably have plans for this already, but I feel like the progress screen could use more feedback than only two progress bars.
Overall though, this looks like it could be solid! Good luck!
Making apps with Godot is actually very doable, it takes care of a lot of the typical annoyances involved with that process like UI layout, theme support, and cross platform distribution. The Godot language (GDScript) is very approachable and powerful, too.
The Godot editor itself is made with Godot, and here’s a few other nice examples of apps that I know of:
This is probably not an easy question to answer, since, as another comment pointed out, WordPress is both an open source software option to selfhost your website, and also a non-free managed hosting option that you can use to host your website.
For the former, you fully control what plugins are installed, and if you don’t want social media tracking pixels on your site then don’t install one.
For the latter, you also mostly control what gets installed on your hosted website, but not entirely. It’s running on their servers so in theory they could be injecting tracking. I believe they do have some plugins like Jetpack that are always installed on managed websites, with some anti-features included that can be turned on (but don’t have to be).
I always recommend going the self hosted route with WordPress, if you are even the tiniest bit technical minded. It’s very easy to deploy on something like DigitalOcean or your own home server, and then you don’t need to worry about tracking from WordPress.com.
Because you’re the account who posted what I’m responding to.
You didn’t make any substantive critiques about the journalism, so why would anyone be responding to that? All you’ve said is that you “don’t care about ffmpeg”, which is dismissive of the software itself, so yeah obviously people are going to be responding about the software.
It isn’t like it’s a niche secret that YouTube siphons people’s privacy and sells their personal information. Creators being ignorant about that might have been a excuse a decade ago, but not now. I don’t think we should be excusing content creators who collaborate with and benefit from the machinery of viewer-exploitative content distribution that is YouTube.
Edit: also, you’re here in a privacy community defending the violation of privacy that you yourself originally described as dystopian. I’m not trying to be confrontational with you, here. I genuinely do not understand how you can think that content creators bear no responsibility for the dystopian situation you’ve encountered. Certainly they don’t bear all the responsibility for what YouTube does, but they chose to support YouTube by uploading monetized content there.
I’m not saying they should be canceled for that, but appreciated for it? Let’s not.
can’t even show your appreciation without selling more information
The content producer you’re trying to show appreciation for is the one who put their content on a platform that forces you to sell your information in order to appreciate them. Maybe let’s not appreciate those who do that.
Your comments are not wrong, but also Trump is not the sole issue here. There would still be a problem even if he was removed from office today.
Proprietary software and services are an issue regardless of which government jurisdiction they fall under. It’s a good idea for the EU to be moving to open source instead of proprietary solutions based in the EU.
You might be right about this software, but regardless of this specific use-case, I was responding to your overall sentiment towards containerization in general. It’s worth looking more into, that’s all!
