Gooey0210,

Also, fuck gitea, long live forgejo

Gooey0210,

I didn’t see this one, perfect to show people why 👍👏

Gooey0210,

Some people say it’s your IP, but actually IP is rarely used for tracking

On the way to privacy there are some things you should know:

  1. Companies know who are your friends, especially if you communicate on the same messaging apps, etc
  2. Also they have your location
  3. And it seems like apps and Instagram are always listening (so if you say “pizza, pizza, pizza, I really like pizza, I really want to buy pizza now around me” you will get an ad with pizza)
Gooey0210,

If you’re ready to put on tinfoil, signal is not the way to go too

Phone number requirement is a big no-no in privacy community, plus signal wants to centralize more and more, when they could actually make it possible to selfhost signal

Gooey0210,

It’s still metadata, ditch google play services all at once

Gooey0210,

They are priv apps, I believe it’s the same as root

Most of the privacy apps don’t require you to have gapps and their notifications

Gooey0210,

Ok, I didn’t know, it’s just usually I see some notifications like “priv app is the same as root, be careful”. Thank you

About the apps, I recommend switching, it’s not as scary as I sounds, most of the apps have an alternative or sth like that

Gooey0210,

Well working, good looking airgaped password manager

There are some, but they are mostly like proof of concept

Gooey0210,

🫣🫣🫣 since when those don’t exist?

Gooey0210,

There are some projects that already do this

Gooey0210,

There are some apps on fdroid that aggregate shows and movies from several websites

Gooey0210,

Sounds like something like that should exist, there are many alternatives to nextcloud, plus nextcloud itself is working again on its e2e

Gooey0210,

I use syncthing as camera backup, what could be the problem? 🤔

Gooey0210,

Or just any well working matrix client because for me they all feel unstable

Gooey0210,

Why, works perfectly for me

I map the my cloud import directory to syncthing, or the other way

And like once in a week, or by a timer, import all the photos

I don’t know, hearing that syncthing isn’t good for something doesn’t set that easy for me

I use for the last two or even more years, and I didn’t disappoint me even once

Gooey0210,

You should just ask this separately on [email protected]

I’m not really into different clouds, I use nextcloud only for work/business stuff, for everything else I use syncthing, sorry

Gooey0210, (edited )

Buy online and webrip? 🤔

But I wouldn’t buy anything anyway (and also, who is using DVDs these days? 🫥)

Gooey0210,

Love keepass, but I mean something different

A password manager that can keep passwords on one device, and use the passwords on the other, without the storing one being connected to any network, etc

Gooey0210,

You wanted to say SimpleX

Gooey0210,

CalDav + any calendar app from fdroid? 🫣

Gooey0210,

Hmm, it seems I missed this, saw the plugin many-many times, but thought it works with USB cables

Interesting, sadly I can’t get my hands on any inputstick (the area I live in is very harsh on importing stuff except local marketplaces(which don’t have the device))

At the same time it uses Bluetooth, which makes it not fully airgapped

Maybe some time later I will get into developing something similar, but wity nrf chips

Gooey0210,

Of course you can, I can’t tell you exactly how because:

  1. I’m really bad with iOS, I can’t even navigate to open the camera there
  2. I mostly share subscription calendars, and one calendar with two users, but both users are from nextcloud

But in any case, caldav like the oldest and the most used calendar sharing protocol in existence Even google and other corporations use just caldav, there’s like nothing more than caldav

Gooey0210,

Whoah, roll in grass, dude

Gooey0210,

Just don’t use push, almost all of the privacy respecting apps have their own notifications

And also, there’s ntfy for some (hope to be more widespread)

Gooey0210,

Tall grass is very cool if you’re feeling hot and dehydrated

Gooey0210,

YouTube is clucking down on adblockers and ff BiGatesSoft is throwing fans at the shit with tutanota

It seems like Big Tech started noticing the thread of privacy respecting apps and services

Gooey0210,

This is exactly my choice

Also, outside of fdroid there’s foss flare with their diablo remakes

Gooey0210,

No mods ever allowed, no modifications to any licensed content, in any kind, only vanilla play through, and only one time

Gooey0210,

No free expression, only mods that turn everyone into lgbt+ are allowed And only turn all whiteys into blackeys And all men into women

And all these mods are preinstalled, and no other modifications of any kind are allowed You can’t even change your hardware

Gooey0210,

It’s good I have eternity client for Lemmy and it shows me my subscribed topics in the main tab

And I don’t need to see people shouting at other people so often

Gooey0210,

No copying, no modifying, no pirates, and no other misuses of this software, only allowed uses

Gooey0210,

There was word suggestions I believe, but they pulled it back to rebuild the app, and went missing until recently

Gooey0210,

I’ve never thought about that If a language has characters the handwriting is a really big deal Also, there are many apps that do different similar tasks, but not all at once

Also: have you ever tried foss keyboards, let’s say, for simplified or traditional Chinese? Is the suggestion feature working well?

Gooey0210,

I believe Umbrella app kinda has something you want

Gooey0210,

Everyone here is just ignoring the fact that this gitea is not the same gitea it used to be

The new one is called forgejo, and everyone should use that instead of gitea

Gooey0210,

Thanks for explaining it, because it’s a long and complex story I didn’t want to type 😅

Also, probably the most touching point is how this happened. Gitea was a community project, and they were electing a leader every year or so, and giving them all the passwords (and it seems like the rights for the project, although it’s not stated anywhere) This “out-of-nowhere” company is just one the temporary presidents that hijacked all the domains, repos, etc. Registered a for-profit company and transfered everything there

The community itself wrote an open letter wanting explanations And at the end they forked gitea into forgejo

Gooey0210,

This a good point, the story i’m telling came from the open letter, and at that point only one guy was considered responsible, and a lot of people signed the letter

But I really consider it a serious takeover, there was a democracy, and then some of the people used their power to turn it into authoritarianism

edit: anyway, I really appreciate your point of view, and just wish everything in the world would be foss and nonprofit and hugs and kisses 😔

Gooey0210,

Only I have like 100+ apps installed? 🫣

Gooey0210,

I second it, chromite is brilliant, a little bit clunky sometimes, but brilliant

Vanadium is not really an advanced browser, not sure how it even differs from chromium

Gooey0210,

If you do things and install things at the user level (which way too many do) then you’ve removed the benefit.

? 😅 nix-shell, nix-env? also home-manager? I’m running some machines user only, no root

Gooey0210,

There’s that Spectrum distro

It’s like Qubes, but on Nixos (it’s in early stages yet)

Gooey0210,

Nixos can be more secure than classic distros. First of all, you have atomic states of your system, so nothing can be added without rebuilding the whole system and giving it a new name

Also you can do impermanence to ensure nothing can slip in for sure, because the system will be recreated every boot

Gooey0210,

It’s like giving a map of your infrastructure to a hacker, but it depends on your thread model. Most of the attacks on home servers are automated, so it shouldn’t be a consern

Another thing if your thread model is different, then the situation is not that good, but you can encrypt a lot of stuff, especially when you’re making your config reproducible

Gooey0210,

The wiki is not even recommended, since some time already nobody has access to the wiki, even to put a banner “stay away, everything is not working and outdated”

Gooey0210,

The situation is changing, they are actively working on it, if not finished already

Gooey0210,

The Matrix room is the recommended channel of support

I personally think it’s a bit a waste of somebody’s time to always sit there and reply

Also, when you start understanding how this stuff works, you can start using github’s search code so you can find snippets of code and make your own (or just look at the packages’ code, it’s very basic inside)

Ah, and forgot to mention because it’s too obvious, nixpkgs search, this is basically all you need for free movement inside “nixverse”

Gooey0210,

It’s in very early stages, so nobody probably would need a link

As I hear from other people using it, it’s like 20% usable

Gooey0210,

This is pretty dope, but they have a matrix room, so I can follow the progress there 😁
