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....
First big step I took was going through all my emails and deleting inactive accounts/making deletion requests. It was a major hassle but made me feel a lot more secure about my email and digital footprint. Plus built a real basic understanding about taking a more minimalist approach to the internet, suddenly I wasn’t getting emails every hour and random notifications, it was nice.
Other then that ublock origin and your password manager of choice that hopefully isn’t attached to the browser, oh and 2fa
I never understood how to use Docker, what makes it so special? I would really like to use it on my Rapsberry Pi 3 Model B+ to ease the setup process of selfhosting different things....
i’ve got a used dell optiplex laying around for any bigger projects so a pi would be for tinkering with and small scale stuff. I didn’t have a good grasp of how slow it would run though thank you
I recently was given an older apple tv for free (A1625, Apple TV HD, came out in 2015) and it’s capable of running the newest software from what I can tell, I noticed a fair share of apps missing so I was curious what am I missing out on if anything major
Oh no I can install apps, spotify/netflix work fine and I saw plenty of options. I just noticed facetime wasn’t supported and from scrolling through the most downloaded apps it felt like stuff was missing but I could easily be wrong.
Got this yesterday so I’m still figuring everything out
I’m no longer satisfied with the one I use and since I am already using bookwyrme for my readings, I was wondering if I couldn’t track my shows throught the fediverse.
Hey all, I've been using Singlelink for a while now as an open source alternative to Linktree. Issue with it has been that development has been incredibly slow, and now it's completely unreliable for me as my page now gives a 403 and my account no longer works for unknown reasons....
like, if i’m feeling bad but force myself to do something, i usually feel better. how to maintain the usefulness of this advice without presenting it as ‘fuck your feelings’, in that usual arrogant right wing sort of way
i imagine you won’t have an issue with spam in signal considering the .## they add to every username.
But in general the more distinct it is the less likely you’ll have someone nagging you.
If you want to avoid building a footprint of similar usernames my favorite is just switching out some letters (o’s to u’s or a’s to e’s stuff like that) or taking out specific letters entirely (ex: ottr)
It seems like the benefits are having the device lock/wipe itself after a set amount of attempts in case of a brute force attack and not having to run software to decrypt the drive on the device you plug it into....
like everyone else has said hardware level encryption doesn’t seem like the most sound option.
Personally i’ve just encrypted sensitive files with picocrypt, only just started looking into better encryption techniques though so there’s probably better alternatives.
What steps do you feel like are before a VPN?

What personal project are you working on currently? Would you mind showing it?
What's the deal with Docker?

What features am I missing with older Apple TVs?

Is there a tv series tracker on the fediverse ?

Open source Linktree Alternatives? (supermeter.social)

Do you have any fantasy worlds that you love so much that you want to move & live there forever?
Ever read a book, watched a movie, or played a video game that you love the universe/world so much that you want to move there and live there forever?
I find the """man up""" school of thought generally works for me when faced w a tough situation but 97% of the time it's presented as an obnoxious show of bravado. What are better ways to phrase this?

How do you pick your usernames?
For a while I was using the same username for everything, but recently I’ve been trying to mix it up....
If money was not an issue, would you move to an entirely different state or country?
If yes, where would you move to?...
What are your plans for the weekend?
