Is there a way to guarantee a mobile device or tablet can only access my own services and block all other traffic? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's good to know. I leave location services off on Android when I'm not using them and the possibility of a triangulation leak always nagged me a little. Not a lot, because I've never heard of any actual harm coming from it. But a little.

Syncthing Android app discontinued in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Well that's a shame. I'm sort of half-assedly using syncthing to backup my photos from my phone to my server, but mostly I rely on immich. I never really got the hang of using syncthing with my phone.

Lol, I still check out slashdot too - although it's usually a day late with news and the comments aren't anything special. Force of habit I guess.

Wow, that takes me back. I used to prefer Anandtech to Ars Technica, Hot Hardware, Tom's Hardware, etc.
But I haven't visited any of them in like a decade, so I can see why they might be shutting down.

What do you guys do about usernames / passwords for your local services? (lemmy.world)

Basically every local service is accessed via a web interface, and every interface wants a username and password. Assuming none of these services are exposed to the internet, how much effort do you put into security here?
Personally, I didn't really think about it when I started. I make a half-assed effort at security where I don't use "admin" or anything obvious as the username, and I use a decent-but-not-industrial password - but I started reusing the u/p as the number of services I'm running grew. I have my browsers remember the u/ps.
Should one go farther than this? And if so, what's the threat model? Is there an easier way?

What do you prefer to selfhost? in c/[email protected]

Masochism, paranoia.

Another vote for Debian, and I'll suggest you go ahead and install Jellyfin directly rather than messing with Docker.
https://jellyfin.org/downloads/server
I'd been running JF under Docker on my NAS, but when I moved to a new server I decided to just install it directly and it hasn't been any problem at all. You'll get a notification when it needs to be updated and it's just a few clicks to do so. You won't have to fight with Docker to get hardware acceleration working - which isn't to say it won't be a PITA, but it's one less layer of complication.

LuckFox Pico Ultra is a micro dev board with PoE and a Rockchip RV1106 ARM/RISC-V chip - Liliputing in c/[email protected]

Looks cool. My RPi 1 is still rolling along running Pi Hole, but if I need to replace it, something like this running off PoE would be very tidy.

A $3 Million Crypto Wallet... A $2 Million Crypto Wallet... A $5.5 Million Crypto Wallet...
(This joke probably doesn't work anymore, but I still think it's funny.)

Windows 11 IoT LTSC 2024 arrives making TPM and Secure Boot optional — lower storage requirements, too in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

I'm not using disk encryption. It's a desktop and if it's every stolen I've got bigger problems.
Also, I presume that disk encryption makes it so you can't just pop the drive in an adapter and pull stuff off it, which I sometimes need to do with old, retired drives.

Rats. Leaving TPM off in the BIOS is how I've been avoiding it nagging me to upgrade from 10.

Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 35 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Interesting. As much as I'm a Foobar2000 fan, it's not open source. Looks like I'll be giving Winamp another spin soon.
