avec #librewolf tu as deja fait un super chemin!
Allez, on y va pour la suite 😁
- creer une nouvelle adresse propre, ne la donner qu'a des humains de confiance 😉 Proton est de qualité, et ils permettent les alias (ainsi, pour chaque service auquel tu t'inscris, tu donnes une adresse unique et jamais la "vraie"). Si tu veux aller plus loin, un petit nom de domaine avec un attrape-tout: https://blog.googlesaitouesttamere.com/2025/06/10/catch-all-domain/
- site par site, et c'est fastidieux, se connecter avec son adresse gmail, annoncer une nouvelle adresse qui est un alias
Tu peux le faire! Tiens nous au courant!

Hey #privacy friends!
Which #smsverification service do you recommend?
I know that most of them don't work if free, and I'm fully OK to support them with a subscription if of quality.
Thanks!

And the most pervert thing is, IMHO, that the #whatsapp encryption is indeed strong, preventing the *service* from leaking. It is sort of a "safe pipe"...
... But since #Meta has access to your keyboard, microphone, camera, contacts, etc, they can anyway intercept anything you type, do and say even before it is sent through this "safe pipe". Same thing on the receiver side!
Even worse: why the hell would they advertise if it would not see a clear return on investment, either financial or via the exploitation of our private data to feed their #IA and profiling algorithms?
I don't get how so many people don't question this!

Pour que ça ne soit pas juste une râlerie inutile: est-ce que ça vaut la peine de faire marcher #docker pour simplifier le déploiement d'autres solutions?

2025-06-24 13:24:07 UTC

Bon, je vais râler un peu. Je m'en excuse d'avance.
J'ai progressé sur mon #raspberrypi , sur mon #VPS , j'ai quelques services qui tournent (#pihole et #syncthing ). Bref, mon #SelfHosting avance.
J'ai envie de continuer: une instance #deltachat , éventuellement #mastodon , ...
Et là, je trouve humblement que de fameuses difficultés débarquent: bases de données, gestion des versions de #python , #docker (qui semble résoudre ces difficultés, mais qui refuse de marcher chez moi!).
Oui, la communauté est géniale, je lis, j'apprends, mais j'ai mes moments de découragement, dont maintenant...

Always nice(r) to be federated... #signal is a fantastic alternative, but not the ultimate solution, being a #SPOF . what's the difference between this and #matrix , for my understanding?

[@tailscale](https://hachyderm.io/@tailscale ) Hello! I'm discovering #tailscale and want to thank you and congratulate you, this is splendid!
I'm facing 1 weird issue when trying to make tailscale work with #pihole
My Pihole setup works when tailscale is off. When I turn it up, I:
- make sure that my client has "use tailscale for DNS" set to "ON"
- on my tailscale admin > DNS, I have added the tailscale IP of my Pihole as the *only* "Global nameservers" and I make sure that "Override DNS Servers" is set to "ON".
But then, no URL gets resolved anymore 😰
Did I miss something despite have read https://tailscale.com/kb/1114/pi-hole ?
Thank you!

Being on my way out of #firefox (for #privacy and #ethics reason), I need a browser which is:
- #opensource
- Runs on #linux , #macos and #iOS (I'll leave Apple once device is too old, but for now it's a must)
- ideally, syncs bookmarks between devices
- supports extensions (blockers, password manager)
- with #passwordmanager , benefit from auto-fill
Considering #duckduckgo , #OrionBrowser , #Brave (but I don't like their approach with coins etc).
I'll update this thread as my investigation progresses 😅

2025-02-27 10:21:53 UTC

I am (was? 😰) so tempted to make the move from #obsidian to #orgmode ...
Going back to my IT roots (17 years without #emacs 😅) and finally get something that fully meets my needs...
I've read a lot, have setup Emacs and #org config on my Mac. Typed my first notes, first TODOs...
And then I've hit the one hurdle that was too much, after having beat many other ones. When setting up a capture:
(setq org-capture-templates
'(
("l" "Daily log"
entry (file+datetree "~/sync/org/log.org")
"* %?"
:empty-lines 0)
))
Emacs just throws a:
Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
This is too much 😰

Id like to make the switch (ideally to @npub1kwa…e0nj ) but still on #iOS for now...
But thank you! Does it do #RSS and #readlater ?

2025-02-08 18:28:27 UTC

It's been a while, but I'm really looking for a proper solution to follow my #RSS feeds, keep some of my favorites articles, and have a #readlater solution.
I'm a fan of #reeder but I honestly don't like the new layout... Reeder Classic is great but understandly has no "read later" or "keep article" feature.
Is there any consolidated solution for this, preferably #opensource (but ready to pay!)?
Or should I keep my Reeder Classic for RSS and take a separate solution for "read later" and some favourite articles?

you know, they truly don't care about "this economy". Some won't be able to afford it, but they did the math and "enough" people will buy it.

I'm fed up. Announcement after announcement, we still have no way to communicate with #whatsapp users from a privacy-minded messaging app.
6 months after a #DMA law supposedly took effect!
When will anything (about that) happen, #Europe ?

2024-09-09 19:40:27 UTC

- reply

Next year... next year... after a big announcement months ago already. I can't help but think that #Europe is trying to show their strength, but that their timeline they "impose" is so long that the initiative becomes almost irrelevant.
I refuse to use #whatsapp and I'm waiting for #DMA to really take effect to communicate again with some old friends that never migrated to a "decent" messaging platform.
When will that finally happen?
(See my next post for my impression on the day #DMA was born...)

I've loved #AnimalWell so much! Best #indiegame in years, IMO.
And I'm now trying #Fez which seems to be a great #videogame too, but I can't enjoy it. I don't know why.
Actually, every time I was stuck in #AnimalWell , I still could look for other ways, it didn't feel like "stuck". In #Fez , it's like I'm constantly hitting a wall ☹️

2024-07-29 20:21:40 UTC

I'm desperately looking for a #foss (actually, paid is fully OK, but I wanted to use the hashtag) app, on #iOS, that allows me to manage my #calendar and #tasks from my #synology (#caldav ).
I know, stock apps do it, but I want to take distance, and if there would be 1 app doing both, that would be great...

Thank you!!! I didn't know #ticktick , will try it now!
(I hope it has calendar features as well (caldav 🤩) because as much as I agree, #obsidian is not a reminders app, having both calendar and reminders would be great).

I've moved *all* my reminders to #obsidian (#obsidianmp). It feels good to have notes and todos in one place... But the lack of notification (iOS) is so annoying! I understand that the app is not platform-specific, but without notifications, I forget some timely actions 🙄
I could consider moving away, but I use #transclusion a lot. Without it, I can't manage stuff...

Anyone played the original #mafia #videogame on PC back in 2002? I loved this game, and the music created an atmosphere I will never forget!

I'm a member of a sports club that communicates everything via their #facebook groups. I refuse to go there... and I wonder if I could setup some kind of a #bot system that sends me (or posts on #mastodon ) updates done on the Facebook group? They would agree to do this, so they can input an autorised login/password...

This week, I'm finally getting rid of my rusty #devolo #cpl , I'm cabling my house properly, and I'm installing a proper #wifi #mesh system (with #ethernet #backhaul , I find the value of WiFi mesh syncing wirelessly... very limited) with a #asus #zenwifi #xt12 🤩
I hope to see a significant difference 🤞🏼

I just made the switch from #Firefox to #Vivaldi 🤩
Firefox didn't cause any actual issues I must say, or at least not yet, but that "ad" move, no thank you.
I'm impressed with the speed of #vivaldi, the ease of onboarding (1-click import from several browsers 🤩), and the number of features and configuration options, including native ad-blocking (choosing the lists you want) and the #chrome extensions!
I can't recommend it enough. And even more urgently for those using #Chrome 🤮😉

I really would like to #selfhost my mail... already have my own domain, I have a #synology, but I find it a bit too risky to miss messages if my NAS has an issue. Plus, port forwarding etc...
Should I consider a #VPS or is that too much?
Is there any good compromise between really managing your mail service without getting drowned by security/availability aspects?

I've been on a similar path. Still am actually 😅
For #notes, if you wish to leverage on your #proton subscription (I'm a subscriber too!), you could way for standard notes.
On my side, I've fallen in love with #obsidianmd. Steep learning curve, not #foss, but plugins and mechanisms like #transclusion are WOW 🤩
I can describe more if you wish.
For reminders, I've moved to a #synology and I sync calendars and notes together via #caldav. Works fantastic. BTW, #synology is extremely reliable and easy to install and maintain!

From a humble citizen point of view, I'm excited to see those initiatives coming one after the other, but then I can't see what progress is being made with them. Do they have a place where they share updates?
For example, on #DMA, what is concretely happening with #whatsapp? When can I expect to communicate with a #whatsapp user from #matrix?
When do we get a non #webkit #browser on #iOS?
I know those things happen outside of the institutions, but I have the feeling that tech giants push back so much, that it almost is a lost cause (slooow progress, no results?).
Isn't the only option to stay fully away from those giants?

My latest post about leaving #apple and moving to #fairphone with #eOS or to a #degoogled phone with #grapheneos triggered... an interesting debate (to say the least) 😅
My thinking continues: what about... a #dumbphone and a #5G hotspot, moving the "intelligence" to my laptop (with #linux )?
Of course it would be less convenient. But at the same time, 1 single system to manage, fully tailored to my needs! 🤩

2024-04-30 06:46:16 UTC

I was excited by the #Europe #DMA news back in March, when will we finally be able to communicate with #WhatsApp users from other platforms like #Matrix ?
Does #META have a deadline they must respect?

2024-02-02 19:17:49 UTC

It seems impossible to find a #foss #calendar app running on #iOS 😔
Ideally allowing me to use #caldav
I'm definitely in the wrong platform. I need a #fairphone with #murena !
