I’d like to be able to contribute financially to people/communities who run infrastructure, such as nodes, for layers like I2P and Freenet. Where do I find them, and does contributing directly to the projects themselves help in this regard?...
SCSI was creme de la creme ages ago! Is it not a matter of going in its BIOS, configure the hardware RAID (go for mirror only!?), endure the noise it probably makes, and install ? :)
Hello fellow selfhosters, I tried to find a piece of software that could achieve my goal but maybe I am not searching in the correct areas. So I thought of asking here for suggestions or directions I could take....
I felt like the software “kanboard” fit the deal the most in terms of lightweight but I feel like the tracking abilities are kinda restrictive for my needs and Google Keep can do the most of it without additional maintenance.
There’s also Nextcloud Deck, which has an Android companion app. f-droid.org/en/…/it.niedermann.nextcloud.deck/ I am not sure how well Deck and Notes inside a Nextcloud web interface could work together but if I remember correctly Deck entries show up as Tasks in Nextcloud, in your customized welcome dashboard after logging in.
I am not a Nextcloud advocate at all, and yes there’s bugs for sure, but this is a Selfhosted community and running Nextcloud inside a LAN could be worse :-)
Context: my gf mentioned getting a vpn for privacy, and I tried to explain that it “does” help, but it’s more like type of windows on a house. It certainly can be part of the package, but it’s no where near the foundation....
Both of you make valid points. The trouble is that the Internet is getting more complicated and also getting more exploited by corporations, e.g. with the recent addition of the A.I. hype. And all kind of people think that they know the answer but later it turns out that they were wrong (Take for example all the Apple fans years ago thinking that Apple + privacy was a really good way of life). The other trouble is that maybe only a few VPN providers are really trustworthy. And then your browser fingerprint can be unique if you add too many extensions or fiddle with certain settings, which means you are track-able and user profiles can be created. And so on and so forth.
It makes sense to think about what you want to protect and avoid. Here some generic suggestion :
Get yourself a pi-hole at home for your devices to connect to.
Limit the amount of Java-Script in your web browsers. Lots of websites will do fine.
Limit the amount of phone apps usage (like you wrote)
Use Tor browser (slow) or Mullvad VPN in some cases you want to hide your IP address

I’m taking a long biking trip soon and want to share my live location with my boyfriend in case something happens. Any recommendations for privacy-focused apps that can accomplish this? I’m on Android, he’s on iOS.
Fine folks of c/selfhosted, I’ve got a Docker LXC (Debian) running in Proxmox that loses its local network connection 24 hours after boot. It’s remedied with a LXC restart. I am still able to access the console through Proxmox when this happens, but all running services (docker ps still says they’re running) are...
Are you running Docker from within Proxmox or next besides Proxmox ? I am not familiar with Proxmox these days, but I do know that standalone Docker + lxc can make the network of the lxc containers time out due to Docker iptables setup.
I like Linux because it let’s me do whatever I want on it. Windows is so controlling. For example in Windows, there are lots of occasions where a window will pop up asking you do make a decision, and while that window is up, you cannot click on any of the other windows. Say I want to save a file, but I want to look at the document. If the save window is up, I can’t review the document because it wont let me. That’s so freaking annoying.
I hear you. Another thing I like about Linux is the virtual consoles. When the GUI would show the same thing you just described, and imagine you’d have some 50 program windows open, you can just switch with control alt F1 to a virtual console, log in and shut down a certain program or do some manual page reading. And after that simply switch back to the GUI.
The downside, I guess, is a complete disarray of components. Like in case of volume again, I have pipewire daemon pretending to be pulseaudio which is middleware for alsa…
Right. I guess this has to do with the history of audio support in Linux. From OSS to Alsa to Pulseaudio to Pipewire, and some sort of compatibility and upgrade safety for the Linux distributions maybe. Lately it took me a lot of time to solve some sudden audio problems with mpd server software. Then I tried Mopidy which works with GStreamer, completely different, and with different results. In the end I solved the problems with mpd, which was good because mpd can play audio from mp4 video, and I am not sure this can be done with Mopidy. Saves me a lot of video or audio formats converting.

You know that Murena also known as /e/ OS does use an iOS design for their LineageOS based ROMs for phones ? All defined icons on the home page. When pressing an icon all the icons will wiggle so you can move them around. I am not sure if this helped to get users to buy their phones or install /e/ OS but just chiming in.
