Problem isn’t the hosting, it’s the content licensing. It’s difficult to get a legal copy of the content that you can actually possess. Without that, doesn’t matter if you are streaming the content through self-hosted servers or playing it locally. It’s the content itself that is the real issue. It’s often just not “sold” only “licensed” or “rented”.
Yeah, forgejo will give you many of the features of GitHub. Not the proprietary ones like the Actions Marketplace of course, but a lot of equivalent features. It’s lightweight enough though that even if you never use it for anything beyond git, creating pull requests, and some basic CI, it’s not going to require much power to run it.
Do you need the public to have access to it? That would be the only reason for federation that I could think of. That’s not available quite yet.
They don’t want change. That’s never been the goal. The goal is to create enemies, but make them people who are not able to fight back. Fascism requires an enemy to “fight” in order to get people to ignore the bad stuff and focus on the fight. Fascism can’t survive in a peaceful, happy society. The mistake Nazis made was picking a group that was too large and they didn’t already have a noose around.
Nah they’ll be able to get out, likely for free if they don’t mind a bit of detainment first. What they should be doing is finding a new place to work or seeing if their current employers will move them to an office in another country. And big companies should be expanding their offices in other countries to make up for the loss of workers, or moving their offices back to places where American tech workers are willing to live rather than moving to conservative states and then pretending there aren’t educated workers for them to hire in the US.
I self-host forgejo, it’s one of the easiest systems I self-host.
But which features other than a plain git repo are you looking for? That will mostly determine your options. There are tons of git repos, and even just a plain git repo on a server with an ssh tunnel is enough if you don’t need anything beyond that.
I’m just talking pure cost to manufacture for each. The cost of the hardware is higher: faster CPU, faster GPU, additional RAM, additional storage, higher end cameras, etc. That is where the cost of the phone comes from, so you can’t compare cost of a Fair Phone to this one any more than you can compare the cost of a Pixel 9 to the Pixel 9a. Both have basically the same software, warranty, parts availability, etc., but the 9a was about half the price of the 9 because the “a” series is a lower-end phone overall.
But the specs aren’t comparable. The Murena phone is a higher-end device than the Fairphone. And the Fairphone does get incentives/subsidies for the Android version which is one of a few reasons the Android version is cheaper than the version sold with /e/OS.
The system that scours search results doesn’t store the images, but they are stored. Maybe or maybe not by Google, but someone is collecting them and keeping them in order to feed whatever “AI” or hashing algorithm comes next.
And it’s actually not the “whole point” in a technical sense. It’s mentioned because they want to make it sound less harmful. You’d never compare actual images directly. That would take a ton of storage space and time to compare a large set of files byte for byte. You always use hashes. If it was easier or cheaper to use the images directly, they would, just like the “AI” agents that do this in other systems need the actual images not hashes.
Problem is that this means the images have to be kept around in order to compare them. So, often these caches of child porn and other non-consensual images which often are poorly secured are targets of hacking and thus end up allowing the images to spread more rather than less. And the people sharing these things don’t usually use the services that do this kind of scanning. So in general, it has more negative than positive effect. Instead, education to prevent abuse and support for the abused would be a better use of the money spent ln these things. But more difficult to profit from that and it doesn’t support a surveillance state.
The cost of the device is not being subsidized by all of the bloatware installation income, selling of personal info, etc. I think a lot of people don’t realize that inflation really shot through the roof on the last decade and it’s only because products are subsidized by the sale of your data and other unethical practices that product prices didn’t go up. Food uses shrink-flation to hide inflation, tech uses selling your personal info.
Depends on what you want. You can have the application have an https certificate which could either be one issued my a globally trusted issuer or could just be a self issued certificate that caddy is configured to trust. And caddy can then add the globally trusted certificates from let’s encrypt or whatever. But that definitely requires extra steps. Just, how secure do you want to be?
I use forgejo on a raspberry pi.
Don’t include the non-encoded part of the data or it will corrupt the decryption. The decoder can’t tell the difference between data that’s not encoded and data that is encoded since it’s all text.
No surprise. Most software from large public companies is poorly optimized because they value current profits over future sales and in near monopoly markets there’s no real fear of losing future sales over poor reputation. So build it good enough to demo and sell as cheaply as possible while sales people are taught to hide the flaws and that’s all it takes.
I also switched to the Transit app for public transit after google maps stopped showing the option to start navigation and only allows for searching for routes now. Not sure why it stopped working. Maybe because I use GrapheneOS, but it worked on Graphene before with no issue, so could be a combination of policy changes and using a non Google OS or something. It works fine with driving and walking still.
For driving, I still can’t find a comparable app that has both real-time traffic which is essential in my city to avoid constantly fluctuating bottlenecks due to construction, traffic pattern changes, and rush hour traffic. I found one at one point, but it didn’t read the names of streets, just said “turn right” instead of “turn right on first avenue”. This is confusing when streets are close together or it’s treating alleyways as streets, etc. CoMaps is the best I’ve found if it had traffic routing.
Do you mean this config option?
[server]
hosts = 0.0.0.0:5232, [::]:5232
That is binding the service to a network interface and port. For example your computer probably has a loopback interface and an Ethernet interface and WiFi interface. And you can bind to an IPv4 and or IPv6 address on those interfaces. Which ones do you want radicale to listen to traffic from and on what port? The example above listens on all interfaced both IPv4 and IPv6 and uses port 5323 on all. Of course that port must not be in use on any interface. Generally using this notation is insecure, but fine for testing. Put the real IP addresses when you’re ready.
I mean the whole calculation was ridiculous anyway on how they determined the “net”, so it was never true. It’s just now it’s much more difficult to fudge the numbers since they are using so much dirty power for LLM training.
No surprise. The US issued any real action in antitrust cases in many decades. I think the AT&T split is really the only major one I can even remember having any real impact on improving competition. Since then lobbying and campaign contributions have skyrocketed and corporations own most of the government anyway, so there’s almost no chance of a court being able to issue a real punishment.
ICE agents just like all law enforcement agencies, are public servants employed by taxpayers. Good luck finding any other legitimate job you can hide your identity from your employer. If you choose to serve the public, you choose to be in the public eye and should be identifiable. I could care less if they wear a mask or not, but they should be required to have some other identifiable marking if not, like a badge number, or hell, even something to identify that they are agents and not just random kidnappers would be an improvement.
As for being harassed for doing their job, if they’re doing the job in a reasonable way, they wouldn’t be harassed. Sure they wouldn’t be able to hit the quotas they’re given, but having quotas for finding criminals is a backwards concept in general and means they have to create criminals when there aren’t enough that are easy to catch. It shouldn’t be easy. It should be thorough, especially if no life is in danger from the “criminals”.
It’s reCAPTCHA. What “their garbage internet” are you referring to? The singular internet, the one you’re on right now? reCAPTCHA is used on tons of websites. It used to be useful until Google turned it into a machine learning training tool rather than a bot filtering tool.
