This is the community fork that is still maintained. There are multiple instances like invidious and from what I understand it is relatively easy to self host. Since it is only for short term file storage and its E2EE I do not really mind using one of the public instances.
For the most part I think both systems are pretty even to protecting the passwords that are on your actual machine. One pro that I can think of for vaultwarden is its less likely that malware would be able to find it since it runs on the browser. One con of this is however you have an additional attack vector that is the server vaultwarden is running on. Should an attacker gain access to that server they could easily replace vaultwarden with a malicious version and grab your password that way.
I’m more concerned about security. In most circumstances my data is really not worth that much especially when hardware is involved. They might be collecting some data for other reasons but I am not convinced that a significant amount of hardware has a malicious backdoor.
I have found that a lot of VPN filters to not always work. Whenever I get a screen that says blocked for using a VPN I can usually get past it just by changing my location a few times. It might also make sense to try a different provider since they are gonna have a different set of IP addresses.
I researched this a bit previously for proton and I think there was one case where someone had their account deleted but they were using the service excessively. I also read that if you do upgrade to a premium subscription support can help you merge your accounts together so I guess they kind of support it. If your making a few accounts even on the same IP you are probably fine just don’t login to them in quick succession and you will probably be fine. I do suggest you use an aliasing service when you can.
This is the perfect example of why privacy matters. No matter how much you trust a parent company one day when the investors come knocking they are legally obligated to liquidate all assets to the highest bidder. Today its 23andme tomorrow it could be discord, google, amazon, Facebook or any other tech company.
Oh the joys of Linux. The simplest things take the longest and you always end up learning some random ecosystem you never wanted to learn. Eventually you will find some weird set or circumstances that make everything work in which case you will never touch it again. Then 5-10 years from now you will finally realize all the mistakes you made when you no longer care about the problem you are trying to solve.
Just did a fresh install after attempting to migrate from a proxmox VM to baremetal (turns out my mobo only supports UEFI and after spending an hr trying to convert I just gave up and reinstalled)
I use prisim mc. I forget why they forked but it works fine for me.
Yea that is what I have been doing. Although it seems the smaller sizes are not a great deal anymore and I am hesitant to buy anything larger due to the long rebuild times
Had a hard drive fail my main zfs array. First time I have experienced a disk failure so it was a bit worrying. Thankfully I had added an additional drive to expand the array so I was able to quickly rebuild to that drive. Currently shopping for a replacement. From now on I think I will keep a cold spare just in case this happens again. I just wish hard drives would stop increasing in price.
Also if you do go this route and are concerned about privacy and security you can get a cheap vps then setup a VPN (wireguard probably) on the vps and have your home server connect to that. Then you can forward the vps ports to the VPN IP of your home server. This means that you don’t need to have port forwarding or even a dedicated IP at home and users don’t get your home IP. Keep in mind you need a vps that is relatively close to your house to keep the latency down as this setup will add twice the latency between home and the vps to the connection.
Just an FYI getting a vps or dedicated server that is fast enough for Minecraft modpacks is going to be fairly expensive. It might be cheaper to get shared hosting for the MC server and a separate vps for the docker stuff.
I usually also backup the etc directory so if I had an issue I would at least have the config files from the old setup. This has already saved me a few times when I have really messed up configuration files.
Honestly I would be fine if they just setup some kind of mirror so their posts would show up across different platforms. The biggest issue with then not using mastodon is just not being informed of what is going on. They don’t need to engage with people on mastodon just setup some kind of bridge.
Discord definitely does have phone number verification on selected accounts if it thinks you are doing something suspicious. Just try making a discord account with protonmail and on a VPN and you should get a similar message.
As much as I would love it I don’t think we are gonna see more encryption in the discord ecosystem. I am convinced that discord was not recording calls prior to introducing e2ee since they were peer to peer so they are not giving up any data in adding it
Not saying this makes up for it but discord recently introduced e2ee calls. This means if you have to communicate with your discord friends securely you have to call them.
I like the overscan at the top. Makes it look like those old super8 films
I am just going to keep using 10 regardless of whether it has support or not. Yes its missing features yes there is some potential for security issues but I think the chances that my computer on my lan could be remotely compromised to be relatively slim. Other security threats would require that I visit some kind of malicious website or application which I think would be unlikely. I don’t even think running win XP or win 7 on a secure lan would be a significant concern since it is behind a firewall anyway. I do intend to switch to Linux at some point but the lack of support from Microsoft is not enough to convince me to upgrade to 11 or make the switch.
