These writeups never managed to to convince me me that I should not be able to modify any file on my device. If the system is not able to grant this access to me, and me only, while doing it securely, than it’s bad operating system, designed without my interests first on mind. I am absolutely sure that granting so-called “root access” can be done securely, as decades of almost-every-other-OS have shown.
Weeeell, there’s a school of though leaning towards the opinion that using VPS is still self-hosting ;)
In third panel those are the person’s arms ;)
I think this is the best answer. Separation of concerns and all. And OP can keep using whatever notes app he is right now or even switch to another, without the additional encryption requirement.
I think they meant the “finance guy” insulted the whole “race” of “developers”, but otherwise they agree.
The Long Dark for winter, of course.
Yea, the Bing chat (or what it was originally called) sometimes used to tell people to learn coding instead of asking it to generate code.
Yes, the classic “no” problem of YAML. But the addition of the comments is very nice.
You don’t have to use the same provider as me :) I’m sure proton mail has some offerings in this vein; other common choice is Tutanota or perhaps Startmail.
See for example this list https://www.privacytools.io/privacy-email
Don’t try to host your own email server, at least not at the start. It’s really hard and the main issue is not technical - makn issue is fighting with big providers so they don’t refuse your mail.
Instead, use a professional mail provider allowing custom domains (I use mailbox.org). You can still keep using your domain for web / http access for other services you selfhost, you just point mail-related DNS records to the mail provider (they all have guides about how to do that).
Don’t forget migrating your accounts in various online services if you used Gmail or Google login for registration.
For mail address, it is best practice to register your own domain and use any reputable mail service provider that allows to use custom domains. This way your address is not tied to the provider and you still own it in case of any issues with the service provider. This means you don’t loose access to the online services when Gmail (or anyone else) decides to block you.
Don’t forget to compare a consumption too, or perhaps “performance per watt” metric. If plan to run this CPU in a server, this makes a difference in the electricity bill - especially for always on server.
This is very important distinction to be made. Sync is not a backup.
However, you can get 90% there with Syncthing when you enable file versioning or at least trash can for the files.
Is that something like Crowdstrike? ;)
I know this is not a good way to get community approval around here, but: Chatgpt can write that for you. My bash-fu increased tremendously since it exists and I script everything now. In the past, it would end up with having an idea and also fear of failure. Now every scripting idea gets to be implemented and executed.
This is the approach I try to also follow. It also makes the process of restoration from the backups or migrating to different server much easier.
Draw.io is also totally open and is able to be integrated into many different tools - so chances are your tool of choice already has a plug in for it. For example, nextcloud does.
Hahaha, totally nothing like I described it, but yes, this is the original clip. Thank you!

Question is, what is its Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF)?
