What's the business case for AI?

printing money by deception. oh and also votes, probably.

fuck discord. this is the only thing I want to add to the other 2 responses

and mind me, matrix wouldn't be that much better in that regard. better, but still bad, because it's a bad format for this.

but without the kinda

but those are only effective as long as Google is playing nice

you are assuming the use of a chromium based browser. and then avoiding youtube and gmaps is not as hard as switching to linuxon PC. ok maybe it's easy for me, because I don't use youtube for entertainment and so I'm not annoyed on that level if invidious breaks down, and openstreetmap is usable in the area, but you get the idea

Though I'd say running custom rom is an exception from the rule

that in itself is not enough though. even lineage still uses google services, without opengapps. calyx, iodé, graphene strips that out, but most custom roms are not interested in that

I am worried with what they do with all the data they have, I just don't think anyone is interested in me personally and if they were, I'd kinda take it as a compliment tbh.

nobody is interested personally. it is all computers, algorithms, advertisers, possibly hackers, and never to be deleted data troves. nobody is interested in you, but lots of companies are interested in who can they milk for a penny more in any way possible, even if through deception and harm

it can be used to extend your profile based on exactly those. then that profile can be used to sell you sports equipment and drugs (in the pharmacy sense).

the information about when and where do you work out can also be used to learn other things, employment status and schedule, how often it varies, when you are on holiday or sick leave. who you may have met while exercising. if you pay for a gym and how expensive that place is that you were willing to pay. who knows what else.

anti authoritarian and the chinese flag, that's a good joke.

[looks at poster username]

oh that was not a joke. worse

yeah! that's what I am thinking too, have been for years now. but at the same time babies are booming in the area (not russia, but east eu) so obviously a lot of people think differently.

my last experience with it was a half empty documentation, and a config structure that signaled to me that they dropped a lot of features for v2 release that they initially wanted to have, which has additionally made understanding their config structure harder. and that hasn't improved for years.

The funnel exposes your local services to the public over https . Like what you want to accomplish with reverse proxy .

they did not say they want it public, and that's an additional security burden they may not need

if you don't want to rent a domain, but you run a local DNS server (pihole, technitium) for filtering or other reasons, you can register your own domain names in there, for free. but don't use common TLDs to avoid conflicts, and leave ".local" alone too because that's used by mdns/avahi. You may use .home, .lan, or a few others I don't know without looking them up

tailscale is not the same as nginx or any reverse proxy, though. I don't expose anything publicly, but I still wouldn't stop using a reverse proxy

It's not like discord is any better than SO. It's a closed platform, often with no read access if you don't want to register, and it's not searchable in the slightest.

I would take SO any day over discord.

having to give up using banks apps and stuff that doesnt work in those roms?

btw, my bank recently announced that they'll not let anyone login to the web bank from mobile phones. their justification is to "protect against hackers", which is an obvious lie. this is the most popular bank in my country

and he's going to lose badly as it looks like now.

we were assuming that for how many cycles now?

you should be able to do that from the web interface, and it will apply to any apps because your server does the filtering.

fyi, some are already blocking lemmy.ml too. I'm not yet sure if I want to go that far, but I'm getting tired of their china apologism. and this community is also on ml, soo..

thy were talking about microsoft office. that provides neither of those

yeah I often feel similarly. like, the KDE Akonadi calendar-contacts-whatnot system is so so buggy

8 GB RAM or more. OS installed either to SSD, or a HDD that does not store service data (for performance). a modern CPU with at least 4 cores. modern means it has at least AES and AVX2 instruction sets to do math quickly, but probably you can just pick one made in the last 10 years, with less years generally meaning better energy efficiency.

what kind of services do you want to host on it? initial plans, perhaps longer term plans?

I'm just not going to enable disable it.
