All Google would have to do is check what key an app is using on a user’s device and they can invalidate it. Someone made a youtube vanced 2 (not revanced)? Google can easily invalidate it for everyone using this process.

Even if I misunderstand how the key works and it’s more of a signature, it would mean that if you try to download an older app then it could fail bc the signature expired and isn’t maintained anymore. You also run into the same issue with not being renewed if Google chooses.

My point is it could effectively be a side loading killer, maybe not right away but the point of sideloading is the independence which this takes away

Depending on the services, you should be able to make a backup and restore without needing to delete the real version until you’re sure everything is working

As someone who also started proxmox fairly recently, I found that the community has these really cool scripts that you can use to get started. Obviously you’re running bash scripts on your main node for some, so there are risks involved with that but in my experience it’s been great.

I’ll share my experience with my very unprofessional but working setup.

I have two locations, both using retired PCs. I don’t need anything fancy, but some considerations could be GPU/encoding hardware if you wanted something like jellyfin/Plex. I use proxmox and proxmox backup server for managing everything and so far it’s been working well. Definitely not plug and play like an aio nas but that’s because a nas wasn’t my only goal as I needed cameras (frigate) and homeassistant.

I would highly recommend headscale/tailscale (as others have suggested) as it “just works” when setup in my experience. This enables safe remote access without opening any ports on your families networks so you can troubleshoot if something did break.

Regardless of which solution you decide to use, the most important part about having a backup is testing. If you can’t see when your backups fail or don’t know how to recover you may as well not have a backup.

I use headscale and it’s been working wonderfully for my nightly offsite backups and remote access.

‘“Free” stuff is actually paid by our taxes, checkmate liberal!’

‘…uh, yeah?’

I agree, but our justice system has clearly failed us. It’s extremely frustrating, which is why a lot of us are very emotionally charged for this issue.

I’m a complete hypocrite, as I believe justice should let some criminals walk free if it means no innocents are punished… but I also want the files unleashed. my guess is it’s because I know the people in there will be people I won’t like, but still extremely hypocritical and logically conflicting with my morals.

Don’t have advice, I just want to wish you luck. You’re valid and deserve love, we all do.

Home alone, Kevin

What interface is that, it looks great!

I have been loving https://maproulette.org/ for when I’m on my computer!

Everything with a message is propaganda. If I tell you to where a mask to protect those around you it’s propaganda. Nobody is immune to propaganda.

Anti-propaganda would definitely mean factual information without bias or a message. It’s not a real thing though, so in their meaning they clearly just mean anything they disagree with.

Opening a port isn’t really bad if you have your firewall configured properly. You will have to open a port either way with jellyfin or wireguard. If you have a TLS/SSL certificate then just doing jellyfin is fine (but have good passwords since it’s public facing), otherwise a VPN like wireguard will handle encryption for you.

As for managing traffic on the VPN you can follow this advice: https://serverfault.com/questions/1075973/wireguard-how-to-only-tunnel-some-of-the-traffic

Basically setup your firewall to stop extra traffic on your end, and change accessible IPs in wireguard to your service(s) so the peer knows not to talk on that interface for unrelated things.

My phone’s name is “Samsung Smart Fridge™” because I think it’s hilarious if someone is looking at hotspots or network info and go “what the hell is a fridge doing here-”

To be clear, this is Lemmy where we don’t feel the effects of your decisions.

I used to make these jokes as a teenager in church and I didn’t know how offensive and misguided I was. It might be worth having a conversation with them, nobody is one demensional and incapable of change. If she reacts well with not only her words but her actions (like she takes it down or publicly apologizes or wtv) then maybe you could trust her. If she doesn’t react well then you should probably re-evaluate what this relationship is for and if bigotry is worth it. It can be hard but you can find accepting friends online and in person, you just need to put in the effort.

Tldr; it’s a personal thing about whether they’re actually willing to respect you by changing their behavior or if you’re willing to deal with it bc this relationship is important enough.

As someone else said, reproducible builds is a great mitigating factor for this secret changes. Firefox does have telemetry, but is very transparent and lets you turn it all off (as far as I can tell anyway). Don’t want ads? Easy. Don’t want Mozilla services? Simple.

I haven’t heard of this. Surely Red is just finishing terraria first .-.

Can you change the color of the ad badge? I’m fine with ads, but it blends in too well :/

You’re only aloud to deadname companies, gulfs, etc. never a person. Caitlyn is a piece of shit but not bc she’s trans.
