Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people?

Jump

  • I think the SMS app on iPhone marks messages sent from an iPhone as blue, and the rest are marked as green.

    OP is saying that their iPhone-using friends judge people by the colour of messages. Which is idiotic and completely unheard of over here in my country.

  • It's so exclusive to the US that I didn't even understand what OP was saying before reading the comment section for clues.

    Blue bubbles, green bubbles? Wtf is that and how is it related to Android/iOS.

    For reference, I live in South East Asia and use Android, but I have never heard my friends using iOS complain about some kinda bubble colour.

  • I still have firewall (that blocks almost all incoming connections) and sshguard setup. I also check the firewall logs daily, blocking IPs that I find to be suspicious.

    I could probably do better, but with so few scanners connecting to my home server, I have managed to sleep way better than back when I setup a server on IPv4!

    Also, even if my home server gets attacked, at least I know that my other devices aren't sharing the same IP with them... NAT-less is a godsend.

  • Being put on CGNAT without IPv6 is terrifying.

    • What operating system do you use on your main computer?

    Jump

  • Arch Linux. I also dual boot Windows 10 but 99% of my uptime is on Arch.

  • I thought Peaky Blinders made that obvious.

  • Lol, I have heard some ISP horror stories from the Down Under.

    I am fortunate enough that my country's government has been forcing ISPs to implement IPv6 in their backbone infrastructure, so nowadays all I have to really do is to flick a switch on the router (unfortunately many routers still turn off IPv6 by default) to get an IPv6 connection.

  • I only expose services on IPv6, for now that seems to work pretty well - very few scanners (I encounter only 1 or 2 per week, and they seem to connect to port 80/443 only).

    • YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private

    Jump

  • I don't think it's possible to encrypt the data.

    Say we have a rogue user that sends to the server multiple upvote requests for the same comment, how can the server reject the subsequent requests? After all, we can't let a user upvote a post or comment multiple times.

    If that data is encrypted, the server cannot tell whether the user has upvoted a comment before.

  • Composition do not necessitate the creation of a new field like x.reader or x.writer, what are you on?

  • nftables, anyone?

  • I use a pi for servers because of the assumption that it uses very little power to run (compared to say, an old unused laptop), is that not the case?
