  • Some people will probably disagree with me but I consider Debian stable as a server distribution not as a daily drive system.

    Debian testing is probably the better choice if you want to daily drive Debian or consider or more up to date distro. If you’re relatively new to GNU/Linux, don’t bother with bleeding edge distros or exotics ones like Arch, EndeavourOS, Gentoo, NixOS…

    If you find your way to distrowatch.com you will see EndeavourOS very high in the rankings, but it’s a rolling release distribution. While it’s easier to maintain/install than Arch, it has a learning curve and needs regular attention and reading the docs/forum.

    I have seen a lot of people recommend the following:

    • Linux mint
    • Pop! OS
    • Fedora
    • OpenSUSE


  • That was an interesting read and saddening at the same time. I feel so sorry for the poor guy and all other email selfhoster.

    Kind of curious here and sorry for my lack of understanding in IP stack, but isn’t IPv6 going to somehow mitigate that issue?

    Isn’t there any other protocol that actually would circumvent that censorship? Like something like I2P? Or is it impossible to forward that kind of traffic over to it?

    The internet is already a cesspool of censorship for “security” reason and it’s getting worse over time. Do you have any clue where or how we can join a community/group that somehow fights back those kind of unfair and monopoly behavior of big tech companies ?

    Thank you !

    I do agree their web design choice is a bit to much :/. It’s also way to bloated and filled with to much marketing words…

    I have also been lost a few times after finding out I was on the ProtonVPN page and not the main Proton website.

    Give me a strange creepy feeling :/




  • Went 2 weeks there:

    • First week was only about diving and was probably the most beautiful thing I will ever see in my life.

    • Second week was about visiting the monuments and while they are astonishing cultural and historical bangers (except the pyramids which are impressive from the outside but just some dull stones in the inside) people living there (even those running restaurants or hotels) are invasive as fuck and not worthile your time…

    However we also rentend an airbnb for 2 days and even if the room was clean it looked a bit gloomy but the guy was very nice and friendly we even ate a pizza with him and watched a local TV movie (some sharknado rip from their country XD). It was a way better experience than In a stared hotel with all commodities…

    In general, going the tourist way is mostly a bad experience in every country.




  • Except that everything is under your control and not managed by a third party, not much I think.

    If this setup works for you and you’re happy with it, just keep it going.

    If you have time to spare, want to learn new things, tinkerer arround with network security, certificates, DNS, reverse proxy and, and, and… You can give it a try in a virtual machine and docker containers. But keep in mind that’s not an easy way and involves a lot of personal time before you get a GOOD working self-hosted / exposed services.

    I wouldn’t recommend to open any port on your router except for a secured tunnel like wireguard and connect to your services through that tunnel. Opening port 443/80 on your router is bound to some heavy automated scanning and brute force by bots. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge/tool/hardware, this is just going to put you at risk of ddos and remote attacks.

    That’s way something like cloudflare is populare, they most of the time take care of that nuisance and also why something like wireguard is popular among the selfhosting community.







  • Hahaha… What a stupid take. Yeah scientific research isn’t biased and hasn’t been poisoned by conflict of interest… never has been and never will I guess? Scientific research is the ultimate truth of wisdom and you don’t need your own critical thinking anymore 😮‍💨 (Yeah the tobacco industry was right, smoking is healthy !)

    when the researchers themselves are saying the work isn’t over. why are all the super geniuses in this thread so smugly announcing this topic is wrapped up?

    It’s better to be safe than sorry

    Edit:

    Therefore, the fact that no evidence for large-scale mobile eavesdropping has been found so far should not be interpreted as an all-clear. It could only mean that it is difficult – under current circumstances perhaps even impossible – to detect such attacks effectively.

    Scientific enough?
