Mate, it was a sarcastic statement 😉

Well no. Initially i had the storage set on the VM where its running. I wasn’t expecting it to download all that data.

OK, so maybe I didn’t explain myself. What I meant was that I would like resilience so that if one server goes down, I’ve got the other to quickly fireup. Only problem is that slave sever has a smaller pool, so I can’t replicate the whole pool of master server.

Well, its ticked but not working then because I found duplicate links. Maybe it only works if you try to store the same link twice but it doesn’t work on the imported bookmarks

I was using floccus, but what is the point of saving bookmarks twice, once in linkwarden and once in browser

Looks very interesting. But as others noted, still too young, only two releases in 3 months and 1 person. Certainly to keep an eye out. The MIT licence worries me too. I always add the licence in the criteria ;-)

absolutely, none of that is going past my router.

Documentation is impressive. I need to take a look. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, seems like the registration to IPinfo is required so that you can download a token which then allow pfBlockerNG to download the ASN database. I’ve just registered to IPinfo and it seems like (unless its a false alarm) that it now works.

However, I’ve also learned that all the ARUB ASNs I had didn’t include the SMPTS server I was using.

Basically, I did an nslookup smtps.aruba.it, got the IP and then did a search for the ASN using Team Cymru IP to ASN Lookup v1.0 here https://asn.cymru.com/cgi-bin/whois.cgi to find the ASN. I then copied the ASN in the WAN_EGRESS list and bingo its working.

I agree. In principle Nextcloud is a great idea and project but it has a lot of issues that make maintaining a pain. I had it for over 2 years and at every update it was painfull. I gave up and moved to Syncthing+Radicale. Is there something I miss? Yes, the ability to share as Syncthing doesn’t allow sharing.

These look really interesting

The voice from the people has to become louder and louder for these authoritarian governments to buckle. The truth is that Meloni & co see these people as a minority and background noise. At regional elections last weekend, the won another region. They do not feel at risk and its only when they start losing votes maybe they will start buckling …

Good shout. I hadn’t thought of the hotspot option although I wanted to relegate WhatsApp to the burner phone as I just use it for kids school.

The problem is that many banks are using mobile phones 2FA devices and they don’t allow other means. I asked why I couldn’t go back to SMS as 2FA and they said that they deem it to be insecure.

Yes, I’ve been thinking about a burner phone but difficult to find pay as you go sims these days here. You end up in some form of contract. There you go … You want privacy, you have to pay for it. Wtf! We’ll soon be screwed altogether. They’ll soon ban non-stock ROMs too … Not long till this happens …

Surely that can’t be true if you live in the EU. GDPR would screw them.

There are a couple of dependencies that I will find hard to get rid of like bank authentication. Its getting really hard to find banks that will allow 2FA via methods that don’t require the app.

Molly.im does not have a lot of documentation. Does it equally rely on a centralised server? If it does, then surely one of the downsides is that there probably isn’t a huge foundation behind it ensuring the bills are paid, etc. Or is it that Molly is piggy backing on Signal servers? And is the Signal Foundation happy to be have Molly users using its services? How long before Signal Foundation kicks Molly users off it servers?

Also I note u can download two different version: one with Google blobs and one without. What compromise do I have to make if I choose the Google version?

Its the first time i hear about Molly … Cant believe i didnt know about it

Thanks, how strange when I searched for it in fdroid it didn’t come up 🤔
