prompts every time you try to send or receive an explicit image on a messaging app

Does this mean they caved in to the UK’s client-side scanning stuff after all?

Might that bill be of the big beautiful variety?

Another angle:

This allows the government to continue neglecting existing networks like social services and community policing, which are the bits that actually need reinforcing.

Also, lumping the rest of us in with terrorists and mass-murderers dilutes the pool of intelligence that has to be sifted through. No doubt they are anticipating ‘AI’ will solve this problem.

What could possibly go wrong.

No, I haven’t written a blog post but I think I have some notes somewhere of things that I tripped up on at the time.

Edit: eh… ssh to a remote server? Damn sure that’s correct but I wouldn’t expect somebody with no self hosting experience to manage that.

It may differ between VPS providers but on mine there is a command line prompt available to use via web browser after logging in to their site. I would run the script there. I might put something on the YUNOhost forum suggesting to add a note about this.

Totally agree with this. There is also the fact that at any moment the president of the united states can weaponise dependence on american cloud tech to crash healthcare systems and entire industries all over the world.

Self-hosting needs to become the norm, and I think a big part of that is cultural. Apart from the whole ‘op-sec’ angle, by self-hosting you are contributing to a safer and healthier technology culture.

Check out YUNOhost. I had no prior experience with self hosting but was able to get it up and running on a VPS. Been up and running for over three years and afaict I have not been hacked.

I see. I guess I don’t use some of the technology that others do, so I probably don’t have this problem to the same extent others would.

In what way?

I basically just assume that anything which is closed-source, networked and has sensors of any kind is a spying device. It’s easier than evaluating each one individually.

Like a Chromebook.

The article quotes him as saying:

AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off.

No big deal. If it turns out to be unethical it will be switched off in Librewolf.

Why do I keep hearing about drama around graphene?

While I have someone from the water business here I would like to ask a question: How are chemicals and plastics removed from waste water? Are they even?

Does this happen when you log in via your browser as well as when using a client app?

Cool, which ones do you recommend? Yeah, I found it really straightforward and pleasant to get started.

I use Jan. It’s really good. A minimal install needs around 10GB of space and you can use it offline. The ‘jan nano’ model works faster than I can read in most cases.

Even more.

I’m using syncthing-fork.

Firefox apparently has 21 million lines of code. I feel stress just knowing that something this monstrously complicated exists on my computer. I can’t imagine what it must be like to maintain it.

Great resource - very accessible 👍
