something

the most concerning part for me is the “LA woman” charge… is that just a restaurant?

their home address, social security number, face, email, phone number, passwords, their emails and texts, etc could be out there for anyone to see soon or may already be

this part is important and few people talk about this. your data is indeed for faceless companies eyes only, but for now.

you’d have to blindly trust all big datas’ security practices and that they won’t be leaked any time in the future, either by an inside agent or by a security vulnerability.

once upon a time we did the same to our online accounts and used the same password over and over, only to find they were stored as plain text waiting to be leaked…

not to mention that every single thing your browser is displaying has actually been downloaded. it’s conceptually impossible not to be the case…

not sure if you’re talking about sailing there, but my point against Netflix would be that there are definitely more things to do in life than sitting through hours of passive low effort entertainment. it’s very obvious but I guess people are slowly forgetting about that

even gaming is better. at least you’re exercising your brain and motor skills

the banking thing is something else though. but it’s the kind of thing that’s probably done for security anyway, so it’s not that bad and things like that definitely wouldn’t be profitable enough for all this effort Google and others are putting into it 😅

sharing actual text makes it searchable and easier to archive for the future

Pretty much any subdomain will go to the nginx server and it will only do something if youve configured that subdomain in the config - everything else just gets ignored, or you can setup a catchall to handle all the unconfigured stuff

so you will need something like this (might not be exact, been a long time since i had to configure NGINX haha)

server {
server_name ha.mydomain.duckdns.org;
location / {
proxy_pass http://hostnameOrIP1:port1;
}
}
server {
server_name nextcloud.mydomain.duckdns.org;
location / {
proxy_pass http://hostnameOrIP2: port
}
}

an easier way would be to use Nginx Proxy Manager which gives you a nice GUI to add and manage all the sites.

[-] thunderbox666 « 1 point 2 months ago Anything that has a web service, such as nextcloud or home assistant, can be setup on a domain or sub domain

So you would setup the domain (for example let’s say you have myhome. duckdns.org) to point to your server running nginx reverse proxy, and then configure all your services in there

So you might setup homeassistant.myhome.duckdns.org and point it to the internal address you use for home assistant, eg http://192.168.1.15:8123

Then you might add nextcloud as nextcloud.myhome.duckdns.org to point to https://192.168.1.15 These can all be on the same machine as nginx reverse proxy or on another machine all together

Some of these services might also need extra configuration but most will also have guides on their site on what you need to configure to work with a reverse proxy

great post

to me, that’s one of the biggest tragedies of our time. there are several catastrophic problems to be fixed worldwide and yet we send some of our most brilliant engineers to silicon valley to work on advertising companies

for me, the biggest issue with the fairphone is that they attempted to embrace everything: modular, sustainable, fair trade, etc

their competitors do none of that, so the quality/cost ratio turns out way off and that prevents their market share to grow sustainably (pun intended). the few people I know who use it, are the profile that is used to do sacrifices like that (like buying sustainable food at large markups, etc) but that’s not feasible or desirable to the vast majority

imo they should have picked a concept and perfected it - preferably the modular part which is the best thing you can do and brings tangible value to users. then move on to the other things… that’s a great cautionary tale about trying to be the good guys in capitalism, the system is not in their favour

is that stable diffusion?

by becoming class-conscious, you realise that the free market is a lie
