Oh cool. Do you limit users? I thought about doing that too but the Searxist Dev says if you don’t get others to use it then it will make the user more finger printable?

I guess maybe donating is a better way to go.

You didn’t happen to figure out the bookmarks access, did you? I use the native browser on /e/OS. My bookmarks were made there and then are somehow also where Searxist bookmark saves go. I guess Searxist still solves a problem, since browsing with just one default engine was the issue, and if you already have the bookmarks, you can just use your normal browser anyways.

Just got OpenWRT One router. I have never set up a VPN server, but the wireguard API didn’t seem too bad. I’ve never used an API either though. What do you think about OpenWRT running Wireguard, firewall, and reverse proxy (Caddy)? My firewall experience is with nftables and ufw back in the day.

My selfhost plans for now are just nextcloud and Jellyfin.

When you say open 22, do you mean with just password access with multiple users? I recently made mine only allow entry using ssh certs iirc. And then just blocked incoming for the time being. Guess I’ll need to fix that before another git pull request.

I was going to hack my Linksys, but they locked some things for my model in the US apparently, and needed a flash with firmware I couldn’t find.

I just got OpenWRT One. Its a dev router, but hope fully can handle a firewall, VPN server, and maybe a reverse proxy. It’s based off banana pi.

I just want my Linux notes in one place (nextcloud) and synced (syncthing), and Jellyfin. Got a Raspberry Pi 5 with a NVMe hat and 16 GB of RAM for that. Then add more later.

Where does one go to work on science exploration that is immune from greedy assholes. I’d love to hear about this fantasy world you live in.

Wow. Thanks for the details. I think I’ll check with NM to see what is going on. I use Hyprland so I’ve never used a GUI for it, and didn’t even know there was one. I’ll see if they have one for Arch.

I have not combined nearly enough. Haven’t decided on a VPN yet. I think I might have been using one from kolab or something. Didn’t put it on new phone yet. NextDNS is free for 350 queries. Never had a leak due to limits. Try it and set filters. It’s great.

Honestly, I’m interested to see if it can make it past my security. It’s a good time to try. I might reinstall a new OS due to a pernicious Arch network issue and a DNS leak that connected me to a fucking Google server recently. Taking risk before wiping us better than after installing.

Good points there.

I wonder if all models don’t pair and whatnot bfu. If so, that’s good to know for sure.

What does turning the phone off frequently do? Also, by duress, do you mean anti-tamper destructive functionality? Like wipe info if unapproved authentication methods are used or something?

There is a meshtastic Lemmy community. I think it has limited functionality. Like text only. IIRC it is low frequency, like 900 MHz or something, and is reliable. You have these walkie talkie looking devices, but they don’t do voice that I’m aware of. Also, no issues with needing ham license or any of that. I’d be hard pressed to think there was not a community there that didn’t have nodes set up. I don’t know about security, but it might be under the radar.

There is a meshtastic map, but smaller networks in your community might not register, which is good.

Hey OP, if you ever get around to checking the hash on boot (if possible), it would be worth it to update the post and let everyone know if you were able to validate or not. That would be an interesting tidbit.

Meshtastic. There is actually a meshtastic Lemmy community. It can do texts.

Mureno will provide service for FairPhone 6. It has microphone and video kill switch, fakes geolocation, spoofs IP, uses app trackers detection, and doesn’t really have bloatware. The ecosystem is carefully curated and managed. I like it better than Fossify but still diversify a few things just because.

I use NextDNS and tight domain filters. Got rid of MicroG. Love it.

It looks like Konform is a nice choice. Anyone tried it?

Any advice to prevent that? Is it easy to randomize a Mac address through shell command? No need for details, just wondering.

I swear to fuck, I can’t address security issues faster than they can enshittify the whole world.

Thanks for letting me know. I have not been exposed to political science at all. I’ll check it out.

Atlas is still running and took some folks to space last year, and Braun was imprisoned by Hitler at some point. Still a Nazi, but I have a feeling they didn’t quite see eye to eye. In any case, it was either kidnap the German rocket scientists, or let the Russians get to them first. That doesn’t mean NASA is Nazi or military. They could make rockets, we couldn’t, and even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Impressed that someone knows that Atlas was derived from a missile. Most people don’t know that.

JPL is not a NASA center. It’s a non profit lab that supports government functions. Its not even civil service. It’s kind of like Aerospace Corporation, which is another example of a gov-affiliated non-profit that can support a variety of gov functions. You’re way off on this. Also, DARPA is DoD, not NASA.

JPL is owned by CalTec really. NASA does not own JPL. NASA wasn’t even stood up well until like 50s or 60s. It absorbed NACA, which might have led to this confusion. However, those people were working nuclear propulsion for space flight, like the NERVA rocket.

Science should be considered sacred. Say what you will about the US, but NASA is a good org. It’s just crippled by stupid greedy assholes that take all it’s money and go over budget right now.

JPL is not a NASA center. It’s a non-profit lab for government support. People at NASA like space flight and science. Killing people is not the spirit at any NASA center.
