"We value your privacy" is the most common lie on the internet in the last decade

Microsoft has set up copilot to make contributions for the dotnet runtime https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/115762 I'm sure maintainers spends more time to review and interact with copilot than it would have to write it themselves

Oh i don't really do reddit

I'm privileged enough to use Lemmy so why should i care ?

This is not new for companies to make money on the internet using the work and information others made without compensation for the community
Google search or stackoverfow did it long before LLMs, it's just that the price is different, you pay with your attention spans instead of money
I'm pretty sure that we'll have freely accessible LLMs with ads baked in a way you can't even see them at first glance (if they aren't doing it already)

What's new with LLMs is that the information source is hidden, no credit is attributed for people that contribute to the community anymore

I'm using disroot.org as my email provider, with a custom domain to easily switch if needed, but so far it's been great It's free for a little storage and you can buy more, it's a non profit based in Netherlands

There is also riseup.net as a non profit email provider, servers in the US I think

Exposing services over the public internet is not without risks, you might consider getting more knowledge before doing it

Every service you expose should require authentication and may need to handle bots

To gain knowledge about reverse proxies and dns without much risk exposure, you could start by setting up your custom domain name on your private tailscale network, here is an example of how you could do it

Now if you really want to expose services on the internet because you have devices that you don't want to connect to your tailscale network, you could use tailscale funnel, but only with your ts.net custom subdomain that they provide you, not with your own domain

There is an open issue to support custom domains https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/11563

I'm waiting for this to get resolved, in the meantime I have a vps with a reverse proxy connected to a tailscale container, that serves my services from my home network, so that I dont need a static IP or open a port in my home router

Or just don't forget to add an exit condition.

While on dread recently I stumbled across this old post regarding issues with their onion adresses https://encryp.ch/blog/disturbing-facts-about-protonmail/

When a user makes a new account with Protonmail on TOR they are re-directed from Protonmail’s “.onion” to “.com” address. This breaks your secure encrypted connection to their onion address, enabling your identification. There are absolutely no technical reasons for this feature. In fact, the only other websites that operate like this are suspected NSA/CIA Honeypots.

Notify collective shout, they may be able to do something

As a TV centric distro, there is libreelec https://libreelec.tv/ You can use it to stream media from jellyfin, plex or other streaming platforms with plugins

It runs kodi that you can also use in other distros as a package

Kodi supports hdmi-cec, which allows to use your TV remote to control kodi, the hardware needs to be compatible too though (raspberry pis are compatible) There is also a mobile app, Kore, to control kodi on local network

The UX may not be as slick as androidtv/appletv but it is customizable

Buy stuff, but there is nothing to buy in an empty store

Well law enforcement already use videos uploaded to social networks, what's gonna stop them from using videos recorded by glasses once they are in the cloud?

I can't see the point of going to an empty store, parks are way better for a stroll

Yes an infrared hoodie at night to prevent cameras in night mode to catch your face or something like this to fuck with AI detection
