Who says any of my stalking OSInt accounts is my real identity?

Edit: /s ofc. Who would use those crappy apps on phone anyway.

yes. also your friends, not only mom.

(/s aside, most people of younger generations don’t care as well, not only elderly less tech literate folks)

IMO the only reason tech world can be authoritarian is people’s negligence. Otherwise even if all major brands produce unhackable locked down hardware, people could boycott those and buy the one obscure open device (like pine64) and market force will force big names to revert.

Corporations do not have power by themselves. People refusing to think and understand gives them power. Same applies to mainstream politics.

Nowadays I deploy most self hosted services as containers. If something is not available as such, I install it inside container and make a Dockerfile of it. Snap is useful too here (cf nextcloud). For some rust/go projects I just run the binary on the host directly as a systemd service. The corresponding update service pulls the release, builds it locally and restarts the service appropriately.

Which means it totally depends on the project structure, scale and security administration which in turn depend on user. Somebody else might want something totally different but I would suggest go for container.

It’s not self-hostable (yet). Would that be important (why?)…

If I use it as a note taking + sharing with few friends. If I publish the notes on the open internet or use it as a pastebin with nice formatting then no.

Though in the former case client side encryption also works otherwise.

Also I generally prefer open and self hostable software cause vendor lockin, central service going down, enshittification etc. If the software is open users can contribute and fix bugs too which makes the service more featureful and robust.

Beautiful

I found a bug

Btw how to use without signup? Closing demo popup closes the interface.

Is this self hostable?

Exactly. I currently have a notebook which is very well made. But it still sucks that I had to pay the windows license which is of no use : (

Windows is no easier to install (or even harder).

I’ve installed both recent windows and common distros many times by hand (where unattended wasn’t trivial) and found everything except latest windows 11 quite similar (including arch) and very easy. Current windows 11 afaik needs registry hacks but I’ve not installed one yet.

Yes it is possible to create disposable-isque api keys for different uses. The monetary cost is the cost of privacy and of not having hardware to run things locally.

If you have reliable privacy friendly api vendor suggestions then do share. While I do not need such services now, it can a good future reference.

Nope, these services almost always require user login, eventually tied to cell number (ie non disposable) and associate user content and other data points with account. Nonetheless user prompts are always collected. How they’re used is a good question.

Oh, and yes I agree with you.

Initially I though what solid state disk has to do with ADS.

what’s SSD?
