What bugs the heck out of you at work but doesn't seem to bother your coworkers?

Jump

  • I think MIUI was its pioneer. Even the settings app had ads.

    • Download Google Maps Routes as .ics

    Jump

  • That conversion isn't accurate at all, at least in the cities I have been. I used to trust OSM a lot, but it led me to wrong places a few times. I use Organic Maps, which is based on OSM, for general navigation, but I have to rely on Google Maps for finding precise locations. I use web interface only, for google maps, but OSM can be a pain in the butt, especially if others are dependent on me navigating them.

    • SearXNG: Is it possible to add widgets?

    Jump

  • Is there a way to implement that in Gnome search? It can do small calculations. I have used KDE's search it could do currency as well.

    • Any matrix clients with PFS

    Jump

  • What's PFS? And I thought Element supported every Matrix feature, except for multi-account support.

    • SearXNG: Is it possible to add widgets?

    Jump

  • I miss currency conversions.

    • iPhone vs Android

    Jump

  • You've used android. You've used iOS. Time to get a Linux phone. I'd suggest PinePhone.

    Edit - Take a look at this post Open Source sub-lemmy.

    • What do you think of our lord and saviour Odysee.com?

    Jump

  • I'd want PeerTube to be the norm.

    • What are you boycotting right now and why? Are there any Boycotts you've ended?

    Jump

  • Cash on delivery exists. Also, we can buy Amazon gift cards with Monero.

    But yes, boycotting all banks seems impractical.

    • Self hosted video chat

    Jump

  • Jitsi Meet can be self-hosted. The data will go through your server, but end-to-end encryption can be used.

    Another option is Wirow. Again, data goes through the servers.

    I do not think if there are any peer-to-peer video chat applications. If there were, why would there be a need for self-hosting a server?

    • If you could go back and tell your childhood self something about their future that would improve their childhood, what would it be?

    Jump

    • How do you organize your DHCP clients?

    Jump

  • Can you tell what do the values after / denote? Like /8, /24.

    I have seen them in many places. I even use /8 in my Wireguard config. But I do not know what it is. I do not even know its name to look it up online.

    • Open source and privacy respecting website builders?

    Jump

  • Host a Wordpress instance on a privacy respecting VPS like Najal.la, or even Hetzner is great. Just change the settings to remove Gravatar integration and do not use Google Fonts. There are a lot of plugins and themes that you can install, but many come with third-party scripts and/or trackers. So, make sure you keep an eye out for what you are installing.

    • 100% compatible way to get 2FA on Jellyfin Tutorial.

    Jump

  • Tailscale will create a personal VPN. So, only those devices where you are logged in with you Tailscale account can access that service.

    For example, if I host a password manager behind Tailscale, only my laptop and phone can access it, where I am logged in to my Tailscale account and am connected to my VPN.

    However, Tailscale's backend is not open-source. They may not log all the data passed through, but they certainly can look at it. Use it only if you trust them. You can look into Headscale. It is an open source implementation of Tailscsle's back end, which works with Tailscale's apps.

    Tailscale is very convenient, and is as secure as WireGuard protocol is.

    • Do you still write notes with pen and paper?

    Jump

  • My handwriting is the perfect encryption. Nobody else can understand it. Lol.

    • Questions about TLS Passthrough.

    Jump

  • Thank you for your response. Just one more question... If I am not forwarding any ports, will I be able to generate and renew certificates on my home server? As far as I know, the domain needs to point to the IP which is generating the certificates, right?

    • Self hosted Google Keep alternative

    Jump

  • Mind sharing what were your issues with Joplin?

    My only issue is that it does not have any widgets on Android. So, I use Nextcloud Notes when I need that. But Joplin is actually great. You can self host a joplin server or sync using a Nextcloud server. It supports advanced markdown and I like the UI as well.

    You can try Bookstack, but it will work on a web browser only. Another option is Obsidian, but I think only the apps are FOSS, the backend is not.

    • Without using pronouns (me, he, she, it, etc) or articles (a, an, the), how did you come up with your user name?

    Jump

  • NutButter, because ButtNutter sounds gay.

    • When someone says "games", what's the first thing that comes to mind?

    Jump

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Most instances, by default, only prevents sending the telemetry. For complete anonymity (against google) change the settings to proxy the videos. This will prevent google from knowing your IP. Some instances turn off proxying settings permanently to avoid massive bandwidth usage.

    • Is there a list of instances that support free speech?

    Jump

  • There are still a lot of caveats. For example, your server hosting provider can block you for posting objectionable content, like anti-LGBT references. If you host at home, you ISP can ban you. Then comes the domain extension. The domain extentions are controlled by some company or the other, like .com is managed by verizon, .zip is managed by Google etc. They, or the domain provider can also terminate your contract.

    Onion domains may be a solution, but if you post seriously objectionable content, like leaking CIA secrets, you can expect someone to knock on your door soon.
