XMPP is actually super easy to setup with Prosody. Highly recommend giving it a try. The hardest part is getting all the SRV records right in your DNS.
It’s particularly awesome if you set it up to use the same user and domain as your email(s), and then your email and XMPP IDs are the same!
Seconded, Alarmo rules. I even have HA send me video clips over Signal!
They are. Look at the meme, Linux phones get the tux.
Yeah I switch to MPV maybe a decade ago from VLC. I just like the outward simplicity. It can do everything but it doesn bother showing you unless you ask, whereas VLC is like an all you can eat buffet, kind of overwhelming for day to day use.
I still use VLC occasionally when I want to do something funky and don’t want to bother digging into how to do it with MPV for a one off.
Winwhat?
Again, this thread replying to the original comment is talking about homelabs.
But also, again, this is addressed in the second half of my comment.
Yes, I’ve addressed this in my original message.
Get yourself a 3$/month VPS, they almost all come with DDoS protection, and reverse proxy from there. Either restrict the ports on your home network to only that IP, or better yet tunnel all the traffic via Wireguard.
Obviously if you’re hosting a large server this is another matter, but nevertheless almost all serious hosting services offer in house DDoS protection.
But the comment I was originally replying to specifically refered to homelabs.
Don’t expose the website. That’s the point. Only connect remotely via wireguard.
If you must expose the website, I also provided options in my original post.
Just put it behind a wireguard server and don’t expose any ports?
If you absolutely must expose some stuff, get a cheap 3$/mo vps that connects via wireguard to your home and setup a reverse proxy? They almost all come with DDoS protection.
Something I hardly see mentioned here is encryption for data such as on your PC.
I just assume that a) the majority of us here are running Linux. And b) are using full disk encryption with LUKS.
Hope you like face ID!
Totally, Thiel, and the GAFAM are foaming at the mouth.total identity makes lusers far more valuable to them.
A lot of good points here, but I’d also like to bring forward another hypothesis which partially explain the incredible speed at which this is moving forward in the last few months (even though things have been brewing back and forth for years, decades).
The US has become a hostile state. For Five Eyes, Six Eyed, Nine Eyes, and Forty Yes that means much less domestic intel since all the Eyes were sharing domestic intelligence to circumvent stronger protections on their own citizens. Canada would spy for the US and the UK, and vice versa, which was a neat way of getting rid of pesky rights afforded to citizens.
We have put our best scientists to work to genetically engineer a microscopically small camel!
Easily more than most of our lifetime wages specially if you account for operational costs.
It’s a feature not a bug 🤪
Ultrasonic and DSub(2000) both do. It’s so incredibly useful on roadtrips. Works really really well. I have the app live on the as card in my phone and keep the cache at a massive 100Gb, I have all my favorite music stores, in flac, ready to go at all times.
Clients often are better suited for music, specially for mobile. For example with Subsonic clients (Navidrome, Gonic, etc), the client aggressively caches the queued songs, which is super helpful when there are hiccups in the network while traveling. A few clients allow me to configure the cache size, allow me to mark some titles are always cached, allow me to browse the cache (case I don’t have network at all). It’s just way better suited for music.
And on the desktop clients are way lighter weight.
