I’m hearing a common theme to poor application security here.

• host through vpn
• don’t expose publicly
• use a free subdomain provider

so I could create slop and then promote it from an alt and it would be fine?

what’s the point in having tags in the first place?

understandable, but this community requires posts promoting projects that use AI to be tagged.

and I have to be on the blocklist.

Debian.

waiting for the rug pull from Ubuntu once their corporate overlords decide to pull an IBM.

wouldn’t that either be disabled due to the low battery or eat up the remainder of the battery?

I would think snapping coords, even at low accuracy, would be more power efficient since it technically doesn’t have to connect to more satellites and requires less compute.

great idea, but a suggestion.

instead of just one ping at 2%, do three within 10 seconds of each other. this would determine direction and rate of travel.

you always gamble with upgrades just before vacation! /s

Signal had privacy problems?? Maybe using Google play notifications?

I’m not a fan of having my personal identity tied to it. last I checked signal still requires a phone number.

looks like I might have been wrong originally, but it looks like signal actually does fwd secrecy as well as post-quantum encryption.

keep in mind I’m replacing telegram. I have put off moving for some years but I have the itch to replace it now. simplex also has the closest feature-pairity to telegram out of all the messengers on that list.

also I’m building and hosting this for very nontechnical users. if they heard tor they’d think it was the “darknet”.

my goal is

• keep it secure
• keep it private
• keep it simple

signal has privacy problems.

xmpp/jabber/snikket have encryption and security problems.

from what I can see simplex has everything I need.

• selfhosted
• e2e encryption
• forward security
• routinely maintained
• does not require user IDs

My hesitation to using simplex is the selfhosting aspect of it. I’ve been researching the simplex protocol (SMP) and have been thinking out ways to develop a serverless version of it, that way you don’t get charged for something that’s not being used if you host it in the cloud.

anyway, just my 2¢.

I’ve been doing research on this and came down to two.

1. simplex
2. delta chat

simplex won because of the robust encryption and selfhosted option.

a close contender was stoneage. I liked all it took was an S3 bucket. I didn’t like that it hasn’t been updated in 3 years.

let’s get real…google isn’t going to stop. why would they? there’s zero repercussions for their aggressive strategy against their own consumers.

so stop using their products. cut google out, entirely.

just don’t “google it”.

at the molecular level at that.

one thing to consider with a raid is the drive resonance. if you don’t have proper hardware to ensure the drives are properly isolated you could shave months or years off their lifespan.

always use the same make/model and data density when building a raid. you should also buy them either all new or used that were pulled from another raid.

also more is better. raids are designed to fail. buy extra drives to replace active drives. my personal rule is to buy 50-75% more than required. so if the raid will have four drives, I buy six or seven.

also, when one drive fails others will inevitably follow due to manufacturing defects or resonance changes. replace your backup stock when affordable.

I do agree though. of you’re selfhosting, a raid array is the best place to start. though, I’m personally partial to a raid-10 over a 5.

these are people who “have an idea for an app” that pester devs to build their dumbass ideas.
