I think a lot of payment gateways require you to use your legal name, so if someone hasn’t gone through all the paperwork legally then your PayPal will have to say whatever is on your birth certificate
I self host Bitwarden (Vaultwarden) so I just use the built-in TOTP authenticator in the Bitwarden app. It’s nice to have it all in one place + having auto copy and paste when I log in. And because I self host, it’s all backed up securely and with (as far as I know) no real backdoors.
ETA: just realized what community this is in. people that replied to me I’m sorry lmao, I’m not a nut about this kinda stuff and I’m by no means recommending this just like using it this way for convenience factor and to keep the likes of google out of my password.
Fair, although I’ve said in a comment on this account somewhere else, I self host more for convenience sake than anything. I just like having my own password manager, sure it’s not as secure to use it for MFA but it’s better than giving my passwords to Google, LastPass, etc. and then using eg Google Authenticator. Self hosting is more a corporate distrust thing than a privacy thing for me
Said in the reply to the other comment here, but I don’t really self host for security/privacy sake. And in addition to that comment I’d also like to say that I do use a YubiKey when possible for MFA. I’m not a security nut enough to care about TOTP (which kinda sucks anyway) all too much but for important things I do use physical MFA.
Cannibalism happens all the time in nature? Some animals eat their own children, humans are animals that do cannibalism on occasion, yes it’s fucked up that we are feeding dead diseased pigs to other pigs but lots of things are fucked up too, and saying that cannibalism doesn’t happen in nature isn’t helping to solve the issue here.
Their Matrix bridge is open source, and (at least they claim) everything is E2E encrypted. I love Beeper, and as unstable of a service as it is, it’s still really great and I fully trust it with my messages. Waited 2 years for this service and I’m gonna use it lol.
For a long time Firefox Desktop development has supported both Mercurial and Git users. This dual SCM requirement places a significant burden on teams which are already stretched thin in parts. We have made the decision to move Firefox development to Git....
I love forgejo for Homelabbing purposes but Mozilla Foundation has the infrastructure to deploy something like GitLab, which has a much larger feature set compared to forgejo with more targeted toward the development work on large projects. But, Mozilla said the development flow would remain mostly the same as it is now, so most of the features in GitLab, Forgejo, or GitHub will remain unused.
A Common Sense Media report finds about half of 11- to 17-year-olds get at least 237 notifications a day. Some get nearly 5,000 in 24 hours. What does that do to their brains?
I want to love the idea of a universal messaging app, but being on a waiting list with tens of thousands of other people for months has killed my excitement for it.
I waited for ~2 years to get onboard and just having the ability to use iMessage on my Pixel 6 has made it worthwile. Plus the tight integration with other services and being able to use it to sync SMS between devices is like Apple level. It’s probably not the best service for certain aspects (e.g. privacy, they say it’s E2E but who knows what their stack is), but the secret sauce that is the app just ties it all together so well. Plus, they have support built right into that app via a private Matrix Room and a REAL PERSON will respond to almost any query within a couple minutes. I accidentally sent a DM request to the CEO and he replied in like 3 minutes. If you want to skip the line I can give you my invite code so you can try it out.
I am planning to eventually build my own home server, and when I do I will hook it up via ethernet. But I do want to switch away from the generic FIOS router and use my own for more control over my data and security. Any recommendations?
Here is something I wrote previously under a similar post: “Check out the OpenWRT Table of Hardware, it has a list of firmware mod-able off the shelf WiFi routers that work with, you guessed it, OpenWRT. It’s rather versatile as it’s Linux based and can handle VLANs, multiple SSIDs, and of course, you can change the DNS servers.” As I said, OpenWRT is very versatile and runs on many different routers, just find one you like and install it! Many of the supported routers provide Gigabit switching, and some even have multigit for your server connection.
I’m finally starting to install local web apps that my wife/kids would be interested in, and I know it has to be super easy or they’re never going to go near it. Most everything is running on my Synology on different ports, with absolutely nothing exposed to the outside world, and I’d like to run local DNS and proxy so...
As recommended by others, you might want to use a real public domain that you own, and a reverse proxy for split horizon DNS. I personally run Bind9, Unbound, and PiHole as my DNS servers. Bind9 handles split horizon, so if I request my domain internally it gets routed through Bind. Then bind hands it off to PiHole for adblocking, and PiHole makes requests through Unbound set up as a recursive DNS server which doesn’t rely on any external DNS. I also use Traefik as a reverse proxy for all of my services. My set up is more complicated than necessary, and if you want just a few local domains, PiHole + a reverse proxy is plenty good for your needs.

Tech enthusiast here! If you say AI in any context of current technology you’re either severely uninformed or grifting. There is no AI, it’s all machine learning. Adam may have been in the uninformed group, but he’s still been more right about “AI” than anyone else recently. Machine learning ≠ Artificial Intelligence, and if you think otherwise, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Read some of the white papers, and don’t use the term AI, please.
tl;dr, you’re right but I’m more concerned about the media and lay people misusing the term, and it just annoys me personally too
I am sorry, I should’ve been more clear, and I do genuinely appreciate your comment as it is very useful information. I am referring to lay people using the term ‘AI’. These institutions and individuals, who I agree are the most trusted on the topic, use the term because it is becoming the term broadly recognized. I have no problem with these people using the term, because they are aware of the context they use it in. I have a problem with people who are not versed in the topic using it, and that is what I agree with Connover on. When the media, and more broadly the general public, use the term AI, they are usually considering it to be a big spooky thing that could come for everyone’s jobs, and especially on the Internet the term is used to perpetuate a grift. I don’t wish to argue either, I just wanted to append this to clear up what I meant. And don’t get me wrong, I’m no expert on the topic, as much as I made it sound like that, I’m just tired of the media and the actual grifters misusing the term without actually understanding the connotations. Artificial Intelligence sounds like something that can replace a human mind, and to some extent, a lot of generative LLMs can do that, but they aren’t intelligent, they are just large algorithmic guessing machines, and using AI just feels to me to be misleading in that sense. I know this comes down to personal opinion in the end, at least on my part, but you are right, and I’m just tired of hearing people spout about AI like it’s some existential threat as it is now.
Wow that ran on, sorry if you read the whole thing lol. Also you don’t gotta reply, I just wanted to clarify what I really meant to say.
Also ETA: sorry I sounded so snarky, I’m just so tired of this whole topic
Was rather shocked to find BT hubs don’t allow you to change DNS servers anymore and force you to use their own ones, so I can’t properly setup adguard....

If you would consider something immutable, I’ve been loving VanillaOS. Rockin’ it on a Thinkpad for the past couple of months and it’s pretty solid. I’m pretty sure it’s independent, and they are working on (basically) a v2 switching from Ubuntu to Debian as a base making it much more independent. Maybe wait until their v2 (Orchid) comes out because there are some good features the team says they’re incorporating that are kind of lacking in the current release.
wait wait wait people actually just look up??? like i thought that it was always the second one. i guess the explanation helps, cause I defo didn’t see it when I first heard it lol
