Just and FYI those are my pages and Video, and I also don’t have sliding sync working yet. I work on it here and there, but other than Element X, I’ve had no issues getting clients to connect to my servers running dendrite. I’ll update those docs, and probably do an update video when I get it working on Dendrite.

Actually police (and governments) don’t need to purchase your data. They can gather anything and everything from what people share publicly and constantly on social media. Countless numbers of people have been arrested because of what they shared publicly and the metadata included with that share.

If they need criminal info they have immediate access to it.

The concern isn’t that you do something wrong, it’s that the data that you put out there can be used against you in countless ways. Marketing, sales, and so on are the least of your worries. If anyone wants to threaten you, your loved one’s, or even trick you into thinking they are in a threat situation, most people don’t realize how easy that could be with the data they give away daily.

This! If you can get them for UK voltages and plow style. They are inexpensive and handle 15A, and give the power consumption data as well.

This! You have it set to “Allow”, so it’s allowing it. You need to set it to Deny.

As much as I would love this to kick MS in the backside, it won’t. The public at large has no idea what this is or why it’s bad and evil. They will buy a computer, it will come with Windows, and they’ll use it like they always have. Companies and Govts will gripe initially, but give in because their ancient VB enterprise apps only run on Windows.

I have been using purelymail with my own domains, and at $10 a year with no limit on domains or users under those domains, it’s amazing value.

Been using Purelymail, full email, but SMTP as well, and love the service thus far.

NetBird- tail scale but fully open source with web hi, built in or bring your own auth, clients for pretty much everything, and really powerful network separation and segregation functions, along with posture checks and tons more.

Headscale server, open source, self hosted, with the open source tailscale clients are the way to go.

Short answer, yes, you can forward port 11500 to port 443, but it means you’ll have to go to www.yourdomain.com:11500 and this may or may not work great with you applications inside the network depending on how they are set to run.

I used to use one years ago called yEd graph editor. Supremely amazing. It is free to use, but I don’t think it’s open source.

To the title of this article /post, all I can say is Duh.

90% of people who say they cant switch really mean they don’t want to. It’s really not about application availability, capability, or otherwise. It’s about it not being the same as what they have always done. NOTE: 97% of statistics are made up anyway.

I’ve seen this project just get better and better. Thes improvements are awesome. The tool gives you so many ways to do things, it’s amazing. I covered it on my channel a while back, and someone who watched reported a bug and it was fixed within a couple of days. Try that with any of the big tech giants. You all rock! Well done!

I have to agree with this. It’s your mom. If she isn’t hurting you, or asking you to watch them, and you have the space and bandwidth, just do it.

THIS.

Home Assistant is the brain of the operation. Your smart phone is just an arm or hand in the operation. It’s the same for any of the services you perceive to be just using your smart phone. They actually call out to servers owned by the various companies, and then return requested operations to your devices at home. So with Home Assistant you have the opportunity to use devices and a server that all remain in your own network. Your data and information aren’t being sent to a third party. This, of course, depends on the devices you buy.

But that’s the power behind Home Assistant.

Hate to see this, but there are definitely people who are takers and have the nerve to be entitled at the same time.

1. You, as an open source maintainer owe nothing to anyone. Never feel compelled to do anything in your project that doesn’t make you happy.
2. you should 100% be able to charge for your work. I applaud you for that.
3. There are more of us out here who want to support open source int he right way. Know that.
4. thank you for the project you made and shared. Truly.

I personally think you should move the fourth bullet (express your gratitude to the maintainers) to the first position in your list. But a great, simple list none-the-less.

This. 100%

I’d like to highly recommend QOwnNotes with. File system sync like Nextcloud. Superb.
