I cannot find anything related to that in their documentation, their about page, or their whitepaper.
They talk a lot about decentralized computing, but any form of secure enclave or code verification isn’t mentioned.
Compare that to this project, which is similar, but incomplete. However, quilibrium uses it’s own language instead of python or javascript, like golem does. The docs for golem do not explain how I am supposed to verify a remote server is actually running my python/javascript code.
No, I think if you’re using the nextcloud all in one image, then the management image connects to the docker socket and deploys nextcloud using that. The you could be able to update nextcloud via the web ui.

I read through the docs. I’m not sure how this enables trusted computing.
There is concern amongst critics that it will not always be possible to examine the hardware components on which Trusted Computing relies, the Trusted Platform Module, which is the ultimate hardware system where the core ‘root’ of trust in the platform has to reside.[10] If not implemented correctly, it presents a security risk to overall platform integrity and protected data
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Computing
Literally all TPM’s are proprietary. It’s basically a permanent, unauditable backdoor, that has had numerous issues, like this one (software), or this one (hardware).
We should move away from them, and other proprietary backdoors that deny users control over there own system, rather than towards them, and instead design apps that don’t need to trust the server, like end to end encryption.
Also: if software is APGL then they are legally required to give you the source code, behind the server software. Of course, they could just lie, but the problem of ensuring that a server runs certain software also has a legal solution.
So, officially no. But there are ongoing theories in the r/emulationonandroid subreddit that they are.
I think it could be either way, but it’s unlikely that they are the same person. In both cases, harassment caused them to shut there projects down, which could be a reasanobale coincidence, or could be indicative of a larger harassment campaign.
Crowdstrike didn’t target anyone either. Yet, a mistake in code that privileged, resulted in massive outages. Intel ME runs at even higher privileges, in even more devices.
I am opposed to stuff like kernel level code, exactly for that reason. Mistakes can be just as harmful as malice, but both are parts of human nature. The software we design should protect us from ourselves, not expose us to more risk.
There is no such thing as a back door that “good guys” can access, but the bad guys cannot. Intel ME is exactly that, a permanent back door into basically every system. A hack of ME would take down basically all cyber infrastructure.

That pages shows how to use curl to upload to 0x0.st.
I’ve used the pastebinit program listed on that page to upload to paste.debian.net, but it supports other sites as well.
Because forgejo’s ssh isn’t for a normal ssh service, but rather so that users can access git over ssh.
Now technically, a bastion should work, but it’s not really what people want when they are trying to set up git over ssh. Since git/ssh is a service, rather than an administrative tool, why shouldn’t it be configured within the other tools used for exposes services? (Reverse proxy/caddy).
And in addition to that, people most probably want git/ssh to be available publicly, which a bastion host doesn’t do.
So, I’m not gonna pretend flatpak doesn’t use more space then normal apps, but due to deduplication (and sometimes filesystem compression), flatpaks often use less space than people think.

I only have one flatpak app installed, and du
says that takes up 1.7 GB of space… but actually, when using a tool that takes up BTRFS transparent compression into account, only half of that space is used on my disk.
I recommend using compsize for a BTRFS compression aware version of du
and flatpak-dedup-checker
for a flatpak filesystem deduplication aware checker of space used.
I think flatpak absolutely does use up more space, because yes, it is another linux distro in your distro. But I think that’s a tradeoff people accept in order to have a universal package manager for graphical apps.
Also, you can flatpak cli tools. They are just difficult to run at first because you have to do the flatpak run org.orgname.appname
thing, but you can alias that to a short command. Here is a flatpak of micro, a terminal based text editor.
(I prefer nix for cli tools though, and docker/podman/containers for services).
So based on what you’ve said in the comments, I am guessing you are managing all your users with Nixos, in the Nixos config, and want to share these users to other services?
Yeah, I don’t even know sharing Unix users is possible. EDIT: It seems to be based on comments below.
But what I do know is possible, is for Unix/Linux to get it’s users from LDAP. Even sudo is able to read from LDAP, and use LDAP groups to authorize users as being able to sudo.
Setting these up on Nixos is trivial. You can use the users.ldap set of options on Nixos to configure authentication against an external LDAP user. Then, you can configure sudo
After all of that, you could declaratively configure an LDAP server using Nixos, including setting up users. For example, it looks like you can configure users and groups fro the kanidm ldap server
Or you could have a config file for the openldap server
RE: Manage auth at the reverse proxy: If you use Authentik as your LDAP server, it can reverse proxy services and auth users at that step. A common setup I’ve seen is to run another reverse proxy in front of authentik, and then just point that reverse proxy at authentik, and then use authentik to reverse proxy just the services you want behind a login page.
I dunno what’s most appropriate for email, but I often joke:
Isn’t open source kinda like a cult?
It’s a not a cult I swear! Just switch to free software, and free yourself!
I’ve also heard my friend say something along the lines of:
Free software, free culture, free people
Or maybe it was free world or free trade? I can’t remember.
Although, for slogans like this, I might go with something that has more of an immediate effect, like shilling an adblocker.
Or the ever so simple:
Anyway, I partially agree with the other poster, but I think a one sentence quip at the end of an email is unobtrusive enough that it gets a pass. Of course, it depends on your specific workplace and how strict they are, but I would assume most workplaces have a little space for humanity.
First things first: Check if any data was actually leaked/breached.
Many times, the data leaks news sites like to report in the most alarmist manner, don’t actually contain any new data, and are just aggregations of older breaches that already happened. Although still worth reporting, sadly, due to the way ads and clickbait works, they are incentivized to play it up and report it as the LARGEST DATA BREACH EVER 2024 CLICK ME IMMEDIATELY.
But yeah. My recommendation: Find high quality sources which either don’t report this stuff, or I like lemmy (and used to like reddit), because when stuff like that gets posted, it gets called out by users in the comments.
Only vivaldi caught this issue. Brave had this api enabled, most likely on accident.
But the problem is, that chromium is just such big and complex software, when combined with development being driven by Google, it’s just impossible for any significant changes or auditing to be done by third parties. Google is capable of exteriting control over Brave, simply by hiding changes like above, or by making massive changes like manifest v3, which are expensive for third parties to maintain.
Brave can maintain 1 big change to chromium, but for how long? What about 2, 3, etc.
My other big problem with brave is that I see them somewhat mimicking Google’s beginnings. Google started out with 3 things: an ad network, a browser, and a search engine.
Right now, Brave has those same three things. It feels very ominous to me, and I would rather not repeat the cycle of enshittification that drove me away from chrome and goolgle.
Disabling javascript increases security, and offers a little bit of privacy. Those are both separate from anonymity, but people conflate the three often.
For example, javascript can be made to do arbitrary websoccket or http connections to any ip/hostname your computer has access to — even local networks or localhost.
I use the browser extension Port authority to block it.
Of course, port scanning is used by ebay to scan users computers, and discord.
Disabling javascript prevents websites from tracking exactly what you do on each site, or what local ports you have open. This is definitely an increase in privacy, as it relates to hiding what you’re doing. However, you noted it comes at the cost of anonymity, as you become uniquely identifiable.
Anyway the centralized nature of Revolt Chat makes it no very appealing for me.
I agree with this. I will probably stick with either matrix or xmpp due, to their federated nature, and strong E2EE. Matrix is a better discord replacement, as it has more features, is more standardized, has a better web client, and has “spaces”, which are somewhat analogous to discord servers.
Xmpp however, is much more lightweight on both servers and clients than matrix, and it’s E2EE works more reliably (none of that "failed to decrypt nonsense), and makes a better E2EE messenger.
I attempted to find evidence to support this.
I found one reddit post claiming this, but they themselves did not provide any evidence.
freedom of religion is a human right bruh i did not say anything but i believe in god the banned me and claimed i was being homophobic 1. i said nothing about it 2. stfu even if i was
Not exactly the most compelling piece of evidence, and this was all I could find.
Pip in a venv doesn’t get you non python tools.
Conda also has venvs, for seperate environments for stuff as well.
No way to protect emails, google chats, or many other things AFAIK. Yeah, I hate it too.
Sorry. I meant if you wanted to use only packages from one set of repositories/one distro, for if you were looking for lower level packages like the kernel or desktop environment to be updated.
