That’s true. For privacy, you need anonymity, and that safe space I use is truly anonymous but as such it as its downsides. As much as we’d love to meet, or organize ourselves into a job seeking network because boy do many of us need it, or simply game online together… we can’t do any of that.

They’re 100% free in the sense that they don’t ship closed code, ever. That is the goal to attain. However, we’re not there yet. For that, hardware needs to be open. Hardware can’t be as easily be made by a group of volunteers as software. Like at all. To solve this ‘transient’ state, all popular distros allow adding some sort of ‘nonfree’ repo so that, you know, shit can work. For instance, you are free to install Debian and not enable the nonfree repo, which is not enabled by default. You are also free to wonder later why your webcam doesn’t work, you can’t print, your bluetooth headset won’t pair and your fancy gaming GPU outputs 10 FPS @800x600.

Exactly, dude is just proving them right that all men are self-important assholes. It’s like a woman going on /r/redpill and telling them they’re just angry, ugly geeks. Not helping. That being said I can’t help but think trying to create a safe space on a public space is never going to really work. I’d see more something like a private matrix space, or even properly authenticated IRC (that’s where I have my safe space about my addiction).

So it’s gonna be ntfs so it’s a matter of handling the permissions in fstab. Because it’s not gonna link your user ids from the NTFS files and map them automatically to your UNIX users. So there are options in fstab for that. Easy to look up. For instance maybe your user is ‘user’ so you’re gonna tell fstab to assign everything in a ntfs to partition to ‘user’. Except maybe you have media files served by plex media server running under user ‘plexmediaserver’. This kind of things.

You can do both gtk and qt with python though.

Looks good

+1 for matrix been using it for months on my own homeserver. I have bridges from discord, whatsapp and google messages so I can do all this from the same client (same setup as beeper really, same software stack)

I’m loving hyperland both on my desktop and laptop.

I’m a bit lazy so it’s simple but it works: for the important stuff i have a borg endpoint on onedrive.

Or setting proper mail support on everything so you get an email with full output whenever something fails. Ubuntu’s postfix doc is really good.

i’ve been using purelymail.com since the google domains price hikes. They’re cheap and I never had a problem.

Not so sure about the signal messages if they’re stored properly encrypted by the app. But yeah, technically they could probably take screenshots. You could do a MiTM with a https proxy and look at wireshark to see what it sends.

This is awesome and wholesome :)

Pointing to the hard drives connected to the server on my desk: “see, i know where my data is and it’s not being sold or shared with anybody. It’s right here and doesn’t leave here.” Oh and AWS was down: “see, I don’t care :D”

Yeah they can just say “patriot act” basically

Tx somehow I had never heard of that until now, it seems great.

I use it exclusively to control my a/c’s thermostats as an ios or android app is the only way to do it remotely.

Love it. Simple and clear with concise instructions.

Especially for a command line tool
