  • Thank God I’m European and the privacy laws here are pretty strict, so at least the official channels can’t collect and provide our personal data. I’ve a second SIM card installed in an old smartphone that forward (done with the Tasker app) to my Telegram account all the SMS that it receives and the phone numbers that try to call it and I use that number when is mandatory on a website/service.

    On another note, I received some flack last week for poking fun at the Immich devs for prioritizing the platform’s new mascot over a feature I’ve personally been looking forward to (yes, they were in on it). I had planned to make a formal apology this week until I noticed they dropped another release that again left me feeling neglected as they instead celebrated 60k GitHub stars (is that a lot?).

    If you need me before next Friday, I’ll be busy making the transition back to Google Photos while enjoying this custom CSS for styling a Flame dashboard to look like the Lumon MDR terminals from Severance

    Both these sentence feels very childish to me. First of all, it’s an open source software, nobody can pretend anything!
    Second, it’s clear that, as mentioned by one of the developer, they were joking about it

    If he was joking too, I didn’t get it.










  • The entire point of selfhost is to host private services not available to the public
    Probably your entire point, a lot of self hosters self host services that family members and friends can reach most of the time without the need of a VPN. This very community is full of examples.

    It’s infinitely more secure

    I’m with you about that.

    There’s simply no room for an argument.

    As stated in the other post, I’m sorry about that, I’m here to discuss and learn, if you don’t have room for an argument, our discussion ends here.

    VPN is objectively better in all possible situations.

    Exactly! in all possible situation!!!



  • Well…if you edit your post after someone has replied to it at least specify what’s you’ve edited and don’t pretend that the answer that somebody else has already given you wasn’t about your non edited post!
    If you (my mistake) wrote VPS instead of VPN, you can’t pretend that I’ve answered about VPN!
    If you can convince your family member and your friends to use a VPN to use your service, that’s good for you, and I mean it!
    But saying that it’s quite impossible to do that, I think that I’m speaking for 99% of the self hoster (is this correct in English? Bah, you got me!)
