Linux@lemmy.ml•I used wget on Ubuntu to clone pages from piefed to build Zyke, a Reddit alternative
1·2 months agoThis is ethically wrong and in violation of the GPL, but the thing bothering me is that it was badly executed
Piefed UI is open source, there was no need to use wget to retrieve the generated UI files, their source is available on the public repo
I guess that’s why other folks are thinking OP scraped content

Can the hoster be liable for illegal content stored on their server if they have no way to decrypt the files?

Open Source@lemmy.ml•SMS2Email: app that forwards SMS messages to SMTP Email server—has anyone tried this?
2·5 months agoFor OTPs you might not want to send them by email, emails are a little less secure than SMS (it’s easier for a third party to hack your email than to intercept your SMS)

4·6 months agoAs OP said, it’s fine if you still use some corporate services, I think this one should be in the bottom of the list
Wireguard can easily replace simple Tailscale usages, like if you only have 2 nodes to connect and have a static IP address. One thing Tailscale is good at is creating an overlay network, where if you have more than 2 nodes, you only need to configure each one to connect to the central server which will allow the nodes to connect to each other (internally it uses a wireguard connection). With plain wireguard if you have 4 nodes, you need to configure on each one the configuration to the 3 other. Another thing Tailscale is good at is Nat hole punching, if your ISP provider doesn’t give you a static IP address or if you don’t want to open a port in the firewall of your home router, Tailscale will allow you to access services hosted on your local network (another commercial solution for this is cloudflare tunnel), wireguard doesn’t provide this
When you’re using tailscale, they get a lot of metadata about your hosts, but the data transfered between your nodes is encrypted (by wireguard)
By replacing the tailscale servers which are ran by the tailscale company with headscale which is the self hostable open source solution, tailscale won’t be able to get the metadata of your nodes. Tailscale clients are oss and compatible with headscale, but headscale is not on par for features (like tailscale serve or funnel).
For headscale to really make sense it usually needs to run on a pubicly accessible host like a vps, and not in your home network. For other selfhosted alternative to tailscale there is netbird, or pangolin with a different approach
Hope this helps

Even if I think there could be nice advantages using AR for specific use cases, for example in construction jobs, we should not invest in those technologies in any way as they would become more popular and reduce privacy overall
