  • 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?


  • 76 up’s / 68 down’s on OP’s post.

    It’s very close, still the majority wins, that’s how it works, if not happy change the system not the voters.

    Maybe not 24x7 but this did happened and people have reported it multiple times. If you really think those multi-billion dollars companies are not capable of or won’t do anything so sketchy because it’s not “worth it”, then it’s time to open your mind to the possibility that those companies are not your friends.

    I get your feeling :) Don’t worry the silent majority is on your side. However they won’t comment because they fear from being banned or backslashed…

    While It can’t be proven or disapproved, I also had my share of strange coincidence where my mind goes “Huh? How is that even possible?”… Kinda strange feeling! But that feeling gave me the push to the privacy route maybe in a rather to extreme direction? Always follow your guts when there’s to much noise to make a clear decision.

    • RethinkDNS (block every in/out request except those manually allowed)
    • Degoogles android (Shizuku+canta, magisk, debloater)
    • Only open source apps and delete everything else (no exceptions here) -…

    You will never get full 100% privacy or anonymity, however you can make your data as much as difficult to get and waste some of their resource and time :).

    Good luck !



  • I think it was… Cyberwar/crime is the new kind of war, it can be deadly and put a whole country/system on halt with a lot of consequences (human and resources).

    Most people would call out conspiracy theory, but I do firmly believe that those higher ups are doing WAY more bad things behind our backs than we can imagine.

    But hey we have no proofs, except those lost trails left by good people who need to hide their own asses because the government are looking for them for crime against the government?

    That’s exactly why I value privacy and doing everyday my best to leave as less information about me as possible. Sure they have the mean/money to find where I live in seconds but they won’t get that information without a fight ! F#CK big corporations !





  • I’ve subscribed to YT Premium today.

    If you’re on Android there’s InnerTune. It’s basically YouTube music but for free ! Just to bad you can’t directly access downloaded files to export them elsewhere. (Yeah that’s practically piracy and illegal)

    I like navidrome + Tempo as self-hosted solution. Works well without any issues. However, I read about horror stories people losing all their media or fucking up their media library ?

    Also, that’s a huge song library (20.000?)… Not sure this can be easily handled over to a self-hosted solution? But first you need to organize your songs
