I can’t seem to find a limit with https://addy.io It certainly doesn’t tie it to a certain website.

I don’t get why they say that? Sure, maybe the attackers don’t know that I’m on Ubuntu 21.2 but if they come across https://paperless.myproxy.com and the Paperless-NGX website opens, I’m pretty sure they know they just visited a Paperless install and can try the exploits they know. Yes, the last part was a bit snarky, but I am truly curious how it can help? Since I’ve looked at proxies multiple times to use it for my selfhosted stuff but I never saw really practical examples of what to do and how to set it up to add an safety/security layer so I always fall back to my VPN and leave it at that.

I don’t think so. I do have a keychron keyboard, but that’s just USB C I believe.

Going to try both. Someone else mentioned the dummy HDMI plug as well, so I got good hopes for that. Also going to look into Incuss. Never heard of it before.

Thanks, going to do this as well. I had it on a monitor for a while and all looked fine while logged in on the console. Would be a bummer though if this would be true.

Hmm, this does sound like it makes sense. I got the feeling that as soon as I removed the monitor it would stop working in a couple of minutes. But I thought that couldn’t be. Thanks for the tip! Going to see if that helps and I’m going to update the BIOS.

Thanks, will do.

Never heard of Quiblr but I really like the look and feel of. Also great that you added a “For you page”. Any chance you can add kbin/mbin instances? Is Quiblr like a frontend which pulls data from other instances or is it an other fediverse piece of software? And are we able to selfhost Quiblr?

Blocking outgoing traffic isn’t needed. But was mere a headsup if that is something you’ve alread setup. What router do you have? Usually when you open a port there is a dropdown menu or checkboxes for what kind of connection the port opening is allowed.

If your forgejo host needs to connect to the outside world, you can open the port for incomming traffic only for related and established traffic. That way when somebody wants to connect to your port as a new connection it will fail. So when somebody has bad intentions, it will not work unless you’ve already connected to them in the first place. You need to permit outgoing traffic from forgejo if you block outgoing traffic.

Sorry can’t help. I’m here for the tips as well. (Follow post).

You’re right that they are miles ahead of other companies regarding communication and opt-out. And indeed it’s rare that they will adhere to your choice when they implement new functions. For new users it’s good to know that they perhaps want to switch this data collection off. Maybe it’s a knee jerk reaction from my side: wanting to increase privacy and seeing this message brought up some worries. Especially because other companies started the same. Google also disguises stuff for better privacy or security, but in the end it’s just to prevent users from blocking their data analytics.

Good to know it doesn’t have all the functions. Feels more and more that they would like to make money out of it. Which is fine, but then I feel less inclined to help them serve the fediverse.

Ah, that’s what my guess was. It couldn’t be that people just gave up on hosting it.

That’s funny I just looked at your site and vacancies today. I do not qualify for any of those spots though. You’ve got an impressive amount of services build up. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, I was also doubting about Hugo but came about writefreely as well.

No it’s not that bad. They indeed are open about it. But it feels like baby steps in the wrong way. I don’t really have an opinion but I was just a bit disappointed about the path they’re going on. Because I don’t see the added value of knowing what users search for. So i was curious about opinions from more educated people.

Librefox? Or something else? Don’t know, but since Firefox is often recommended for privacy, I was wondering if this changes things?

You need to trust your provider. If you choose a bigger one, chances are you are a bit safer. Those kind of providers make big bucks on companies, so if they harm the trust of their customers they are out of business. You could try to choose software which implements E2EE and zero-trust to be safer, but those are not available on all software categories. VPS providers have access to all your stuff. So it’s all up to you which provider you trust. I would prefer a bigger name too some obscure little basement hoster.

If you’re already doing your own domain, why not use something like anonaddy? That can.be selfhosted as well.
