Almost all of selfhosting is editing config files, setting permissions and starting/stopping services.

Setting it up so you can administer a server by desktop is probably as hard as learning how to edit config files from a terminal. Maybe harder.

I stopped reading when it started suggesting VPNs. Your’re far more likely to be profiled by a VPN provider than your ISP.

Privacy is not a product you can purchase.

I like it, but it’s a desktop layout and they’ll get no adoption until it’s available as a native mobile app

My work PC is so locked down these days that social media happens on my phone even when I’m at my desk.

I can be absolutely certain no apps can access my mic in the background. Even when in the foreground, there is a hot-mic indicator.

It’s such an easy fix too. Create a separate wall that only contains your friend’s OC (not reshared garbage).

It’s about 3 posts per day for someone with 200 friends, but I’d take it.

You’d think they would make it increment every half mile instead of doing something stupid like this.

Not because of advancements in technology, but because of erosion of regulations.

It’s a reasonable assumption that someone in China is Chinese.

Google has found exactly what you’re searching for. It’s just they can make more money by suggesting something else.

The first robot across the finish line, Tiangong Ultra – created by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center – finished the route in two hours and 40 minutes.

The winner of the men’s race on Saturday finished in 1 hour and 2 minutes.

What a misleading headline. This was a 13 mile race. The robots lost by about 8 miles.

I tested my car and the speedometer, trip meter and OBD give 3 completely different values. It’s kind of expected because all manufacturers make overreading speedometers.

I think comparing trip meter/odometer, OBD and GPS is the way to go. It would be amusing if Teslas are programmed to behave when something is monitoring it over OBD.

Just fit your own dashcam. Some models have GPS logging so you can track where it is every second of driving.

Another way would be to log OBDII metrics, and compare the vehicle speed, odometer and time. If you don’t get s=d/t then something is up.

It takes a bit of effort. A chromecast sideskirts your DNS and uses 8.8.8.8. I had to intercept the traffic and redirect it to my DNS server with easylist on it.

I have an open access point and my neighbour’s TV is on it. I’m not sure if it was deliberatel.

I got education edition running this way.

Didn’t Musk and Zuck want to literally fight recently? I don’t think they are friends.

OpenRA is GOAT

I assumed they would log everything and create a profile in you from day one. I signed up with a fresh email account.

Even Aurora store vets all the apps for trackers. Google just take the money and serve up malware.

At least these days it’s farily obvious when an app is looking at your location or listening in with the mic.

Run steam from a terminal and see if you can spot any errors in the logs.

Steam games tend to just close without displaying anything in the GUI.

Also, install steam from a deb package if you can. It’s the native package format for pop and mint, and will give you the least issues.
