Microsoft insiders worry the company has become just 'IT for OpenAI' in c/[email protected]

Using Kagi is not a bad decision. After reading a lot of positive things about it and beeing quite hyped, I was so ungently reminded, that every good thing comes with its own baggage of bad.

I thought I share it, so that everyone can make their own decision.

I also tried Metager, a german meta search engine. Sad to report: not usable for me, although I like their club (suma-ev) and donated some money towards them.

For now it's DDG I guess. :-(

If your goal is to get away from this AI shit show, Kagi might not be the answer, according to their own blog.

I will search for a very interesting article you should read, before deciding to give kagi any money.

Edit: found it

Drones trespassing in my property in c/[email protected]

In Germany you are only allowed to shoot your pulse laser with 24 giga-watt max. I guess it's an EU law, so should be the same for all of europe.

E.g. in germany it is not allowed to fly over private property with a drone (equipped with a camera), no matter the height. You have to stay above offical streets. And maximum flight hight is 120 m, if I remember correctly.

I guess it's EU law, so it should be simmilar in other EU countries.

Search engines and privacy in c/[email protected]

Thanks for the linked blogpost about Kagi! That saved me a lot of money.

It really changed my mind about it.. I want to support a privacy focused search engine, not an AI-loving mess without focus on their core product.

I will have a look at MetaGer next. Although I am sad that there is still no good original search engine with it's own results.. Still all depending on Google and Microsoft.

Chat Apps, Government Ties, and Transparency – Threema in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

I am using it to communicate with 3 people (our common ground as I don't have an iPhone and don't use Whatsapp).

A few years ago it felt a bit ruff and awkward to use, but many updates later it is as fluent as any chat app.

The security feels ok. Of course it would be a lot better, if they would open source their code.

Move UnRaid from metal to Proxmox in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That sounds like a great idea.

At the moment I am using Openmediavault as a VM within proxmox - I pass my HDDs through to this VM. Openmediavault let's me do all the stuff I want to: Share folders via SSH, NFS and raid-management.

Do you know if I can do the same with proxmox directly? Do you maybe have a link where this way is described in detail?

Wordpress vs. ModX vs. 'what do you like?' (feddit.de)

Hello community,

I am looking for a system to replace wordpress.

My goal is to build a webpage with a simple start page, an 'about me' and an impressum, so nothing special, but hopefully good looking.

I only use open source software, FOSS whenever possible. I have a rough understanding of some HTML, CSS, PHP, but I am happy if my future webpage doesn't rely too heavy on my knowlege of those languages.

Wordpress feels very over the top and not many things work out of the box - you have to pay for premium products if you want a functional page, that doesn't look exactly like twenty twenty-two. I wanted to move my wordpress site from one host to another host.. Not easy, unless you pay for a plugin of course.

Now I found ModX, a CMS which looks like it is much less clunky, has more free 'plugins' and it looks quite intuitive with it's folder structure.

My questions:

  • Has anyone used both CMS and can compare them based on their personal experience?
  • What CMS or other way do you prefer to build your simple webpage (FOSS only version)?

Edit: Thank you all for great recommendations and for sharing your experience! I learned: A full CMS is overkill for my usecase. Other, more suitable options, are:

  • Flat-file CMS (Grav, Automad,..)
  • static-file-generators (Hugo,..)
  • Emacs-org-html-export (.........)
  • Build from scratch with html and css

Jellyfin on Proxmox (feddit.de)
 

I want to use Jellyfin on Proxmox, if that is a thing. After reading a post here where most people recommended Debian as host OS I want to make a VM running Debian and install Jellyfin Server there.

Now I have a few questions:

  • I see many people install Jellyfin via docker. Does that have any advantages? I would prefer to avoid docker as it adds a level of complexity for me.

  • where do I save my media? I have a loose plan to run a second VM running openMediaVault where all my HDDs are passed through and then use NFS to mount a folder on the Jellyfin VM. Is that a sane path?

  • what do I have to consider on Proxmox, to get the best hardware results on Jellyfin? Do I need some special passthrough magic to get it running smoothly? I don't have a dedicated GPU, does that make the configuration easier?

OpenWRT settings for PiVPN (feddit.de)
 

I have a Pi running PiVPN, which is now connected to a router running OpenWRT. Does anyone have a link for me where someone describes how I have to set up OpenWRT regarding port forwarding and Firewall-Settings for PiVPN/Wireguard?

I THINK I have the port forwarding figured out, but the firewall-settings confuse me. Do I even need to set up a traffic rule?

It was easy on my Fritzbox-Router, but I find OpenWRT to be a bit more complex with all the functions it offers.
