This also assumes they know how to tell if it is exposed or not.

I normally setup fail2ban as soon as I know something exposed to the outside.

@whale

Fair enough.
When I read it, it sounded like popular groups would be listed.... sort of like the 'trending' feeatures on social networks and stuff...

If I was wrong, I stand corrected... Thanks

@whale
That's what I read after installing the app (on a trash device).

Not that I'm using it for anything nefarious, but if you're going to claim 100% privacy, I think offering 'discovery' services for popular groups goes very much against that.

In all fairness, I removed it shortly after discovering that... so maybe other users who have stuck around can clarify... I dont mind admitting I read that incorrectly.

@whale @sp6

I looked at SimpleX a little while ago... and it was looking fine... until I read that they list 'groups' in some kind of directory... like chat rooms I imagine. Deal breaker for me.

@U2VuZCBudWRlcyA6KSAK
ahhh... the network effect....

I wouldn't use it on anything, but if you have to... i'd start by looking if it's possible to use it from a web browser instead of using an app. This way, the browser app will isolate it from having access to your entire device.

@stifle867 👍

@stifle867 @iamtuna

Damn!.... looks like mine failed to block partner.ads.js ... how do I block that?

@knexcar @throwslemy @Clent

If you didn't commit a crime, why should be part of the line up of suspects?

@vectorzero @Syakaizin
You could just live boot a linux USB and mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 ;) 😂

@MasterBuilder @HughJanus
1 for OsmAnd, although for routing, I find Organic Maps to be a little snappier on the UI and feels more like ordinary routing apps.

@Bitrot yes, but not only your devices. The corp hosting the data for you does have access to the unencrypted data. They can log into their systems and see the unencrypted contents. EEE will parent a 3rd party from reading g your data while I'm transit, but not once it has arrived at the final destination

@MagneticFusion @chemicalwonka I was gonna suggest the same thing but I realize that only solves half of the problem. You would still have to identify to apple services to download and install the app

@nitefox @adespoton doesn't EEE imply that decryption happens on both ends?

@learningduck @chairman Great!.... so just wait for everyone else to buy these first

@9point6 @Ogygus Brave is owned by a for-profit company that makes money from its users. Isn't this true for most browsers? The fact that you speak of 'market share' implies profit for somebody at some point. In most cases Google, Microsoft, Apple, Mozilla or somebody. Good for you for deciding who you want to support, but you make it sound like there is something wrong with it being owned by some corp...when the same is true for everything else

@fraydabson Thanks for the explainer. I was recently tempted to try it out but my certs end everything is managed by NPM and didn't really have the time to redo my whole setup but it looms interesting

@fraydabson @krdo been curious about caddy before but I have no reason to switch from nginx-proxy-manager. Has anyone got any experience with both of these ? How do they compare?

@jwsshadotak Make sure no ports other than 80 and 443 are exposed from the outside and force everything through https

@WhyAUsername1 Thanks!

I recently had a similar experience with one of my boxes... similar specs also. Im my case it turned out to be a disk going bad. Unfortunately It was the one / was on.

It did take a while to figure out the problem though, but you may want to take a look at the atop tool. If anything, it will help you rule out disk issues.

@WhyAUsername1 Which OS is this? and can you share the important specs of the box?
