thank you for this

first off: super useful project.

the two biggest things I can think of are contact list imports and exports. I could see myself adding my immediate family manually. more than that and it becomes a chore rather than a setup.

Claude is geared more towards enterprise companies, anyway. I think you went over pretty succinctly as to why: they can afford the extra resource burn.

pretty much the way I use AI rght now is similar to how you see the near future of your use.

• AI does first draft
• I review draft, conclude ‘this is shit’
• redo most of it

its pretty useful for getting through writers-block type scenarios sometimes because of that, but past the initial stages of the project the usefulness declines dramatically.

I’m still not seeing any real ways of removing the human in the loop, especially for the review process.

thanks for your writeup. I didn’t read the original but this one was fun to read through.

this looks like an awesome project, and I appreciate how you went over the ways AI helped and hindered your project at the end. its really hard to get honest feedback about AI from devs IRL right now, everyone keeps saying they have silver bullets in their workflows and I feel like the crazy one for not being able to figure it out.

looking forward to giving AC a shot!

you have a good balance OP. I’d consider a DMZ if you’re planning on hosting any public services (or even services at all, check out the ffmpeg exploit that happened last week). other than that I wouldn’t recommend you get any more granular.

the more granular you get with this stuff, the more you have to go through if/when something goes wrong or otherwise doesn’t work. which is great when you have a lot of time on your hands and an obsession with networking, but starts to become a detriment when your interest and time need to be dedicated to other things.

awesome! I should have some playtime Sunday and hopefully get some real feedback to you. looking forward to watching this project grow

there’s no fucking way

yoinking that phrase, thank you. do you remember where you got it from?

it might be because you were trying to access via VPN. if you have a residential IP to exit from or you can go to a library or something to try and sign up from there, I bet this wouldn’t trigger.

just did a quick readthrough. looks like you’ve covered my use cases (for my home network at least). looking forward to seeing how it integrates into my stack.

forgive me if you go over these questions, I didn’t find them covered anywhere.

how lightweight are the endpoints/sensors compared to opencanary?

is there any way to do a log export? I saw several siem integrations and more on the roadmap but I personally always appreciate the ability to do this.

good call. if they’re asking for photoID I will stop recommending them

depending on your use case, check out privacy.com

they offer digital cards that act as proxies to your bank. if there’s ever a vendor breach, payment information on you is not the same between any two vendors. you can limit your cards to single-use, merchant locked, and set spend limits.

this service is not anonymous as they need your bank details.

so does mine. I share your doubts, because I believe at the end of the day these systems are built to help public officials evade accountability.

its so much easier for a private company to fuck up and fine them for it(aka, cost of doing business) than any of the historical alternatives that pin accountability on our public institutions.

yes, iirc phones still advertise periodically. best to switch it off when not in use.

would recommend using obtainium instead of FDroid to get your apps from the source.

Debian users should receive their news 6-12 months after everyone else, change my mind

This is kind of like asking which drug is better to overdose on ;)

That said, in this scenario I’d recommend a Pixel, that way only one company is spying on you, since the stock android experience is kept ‘minimal’. Samsung will bloat the device.

Stock Android will also give you a fantastic jumping-off point if you want to get into something more privacy focused down the line, like GrapheneOS

I’ll back you on this.

A few years ago, most of my privacy effort was focused on removing myself from increasing restrictions online. Even this last year, there’s been a concerted, worldwide push towards censorship and removing anonymity online.

That is dangerous, and left unchecked, leads to a future where anonymity is illegal.

Now, the majority of my effort focuses on privacy advocacy and showing up to city hall meetings to pester council members about this stuff. If we don’t do this, they will continue to erode our rights, because there is no pushback to it.

Privacy is political, and removing relevant discussion helps nobody.

completely fair. i had to be very honest with myself to be able to say that (for me) it beats all my favorite games from childhood

Expedition 33 quickly eclipsed anything that could have been considered my favorite game last year.

Pure art.
