  • How to Gently Move Your Non-Tech-Savvy Parents Away from American Big Tech (Without Starting a Family War)

    Jump

  • My mom was also hanging on facebook way too much. Then they asked her to upload selfie video and her ID and she was like "no way I am gonna give them that" and that was that, problem solved I guess 😀 The issue with older people I find is that they are sceptical or even cynical, or they just think it doesn't matter because they are reaching the end if you know what I mean.

  • I partially agree with you. i think it is crutial to discuss and argue when there is a chance. Politely, not forcefully. Even people that don't want to change things they may eventually change their mind. From my experience, when they hear it from more sources they become interested. And sometimes if its repeated enough they will begin to see it as truth. Doesn't always work, but I saw it work with some pretty stubborn people 😀

  • There is a great video from Naomi Brockwell who basically lays out all the arguments why "I have nohing to hide" is such a bs. I'd recommend watching it and arm yourself with good arguments. That said I partially agree with the other reply, if they don't won't, don't force it. Usually its better to say your arguments for why it matters and then leave them to think about it. Often times they here it here and there and they come asking more later.

  • Just tell them (the truth) that their emails are read, their keystrokes are sent, their messages are not safe either, tell them that they have no online privacy and America sees it all (that America that is currently shooting people for recording a video). Older generations, I found, expect privacy and they usually are shocked to find out that it is breached every moment they use their mail, os, phone, etc... It is the same with my parents. The change is not fast, we always talk about one particular area (like messaging) and then they ask me themselves what they can do to fix it (like installing signal).

  • If you have one, how much do you pay for a domain name? Any cheap registrar recommendations?

    Jump

  • I tried many only to settle on cloudflare. The other services were poor or in some cases weird (like infomaniak wanting me to upload my ID). Cloudflare had good prices and the service is stable, no surprises + whois privacy included.

  • New to Tailscale. Can I use it along with my own DNS and NPM to access my services externally using my existing internal custom domain?

    Jump

  • Also use advertise-routes to get access to the network as opposed to just the node. Like e.g. 

     
        
--advertise-routes=192.168.1.0/24

  • Histomat of F/OSS: We should reclaim LLMs, not reject them

    Jump

  • Not true, try to selfhost your own and you will see his much it eats just to chat with it. Using just 3b model eat like 200 watts of power. Use it for an hour an you are eating as much as some laptops eat in a day while surfing. Of course if you are compare with gaming, it may be comparable with heavy games but then again that is also using a lot of power.

  • I'm off Proton Mail and not going back, what's you favorite alternative?

    Jump

  • Yeah, so nothing new, as I said he praised one thing from the past and it was before all hell broke... We all make mistakes, I think we should just move on and not stir old dramas.

    Jump

  • Resource? As far as I know he only said that republicans stood for the little guys. He said this with regards to the previous rep. term before all hell broke in the new one. I bet you there is currently no person in proton who would be pro-republican. The thing is people just like drama too much and social media just echoes the worst in them. Maybe we should move on, I don't know why people need to constantly return to old dramas. Pick some nice topic for once. Have you maybe praised someone recently? Do that. And if you feel too rigtheous, maybe remember how many times in the past you had a political opinion that didnt age well. I bet you won't find any person like that.

  • Name the best US to EU switch you have made so far

    Jump

  • Lol nobody supports trump, they had one unfortunate post on twitter that some people (un) intentionally misinterpreted. The drama is over, so maybe time to move on?

  • Finding a new registrar/name server for .at

    Jump

  • I did the same. I was not hiding any details. After I asked them about it, they said that they have to do it by law. After I told them I won't give them my id they returned my money and that was that. I don't see why there has to be kyc on normal domain...

  • Finding a new registrar/name server for .at

    Jump

  • Yeah, I tried infomaniak and they were doing kyc on me. I aint uploading my id to a domain company. Apparently they do this often (not always) and they can do it any time and take your access if you dont comply.

  • how much do you donate to the apps you use?

    Jump

  • I live by rule "if everyone gave me 1 euro..." so I donate 1 euro/month to projects I use often (but I send actually 12/year to spare the devs some trx costs) and 1 euro/year to projects that I use sometimes (again I send 5 Eur/5 years actually). I use almost only open source and I haven't yet paid everyone. I also recently made an open source application where I didn't setup any donations channel, I simply like doing it.. Maybe in the future if I have more work on it, but not now..

  • Cheapest way to back up a lot of data?

    Jump

  • I am actualy paying about 5 bucks per terabyte, but I think I am still on old tarif... Oh wait they still offer it, its now called active archive and its 6 dollars per terabyte.

  • Nobody said this here but storj is one of the cheapest storage out there and it's has redundancy and is distributed. And if you have truenas, it's kinda baked right in. They had some hiccups when communicating changes to the community, but overall nice folks.

  • Strava Fediverse alternative

    Jump

  • Doesn't activity pub means your workouts, maps would be essentially public? That would be something for stalkers, and big tech would surely scrape that too.

  • Finding a private self hosted Google Photos alternative that doesn’t profit from my photos

  • It feels quite equal now that immich is stable. I was actually waiting for that, because I knew the updates before the stable release were sometimes painful and I didn't want to do that on my production env. 😀
