How can I avoid proprietary software on school & company computers?
I'm dead scared of even thinking of using my corporate phone or laptop for personal use. I think i've never done a personal search or sent a personal email or even made a personal call using company devices. I kown they are logging every single thing i do because they've even told us in our annual cybersecurity training. Just run two seperate and parallel lives ;-)

Why are so many Linux projects on Microsoft GitHub? Shouldn't they all move to Codeberg?

Lazyness? Its why Amazon is such a success. Too difficult to do online search. Amazon is convinient.

It used to be a breaze with linux, mozilla and AirVPN up till a few years ago. Now, it's almost impossible to navigate the web, use public authority websites without having to disable VPN and all the privacy focused plugins of Mozilla. It makes you realise how invasive the internet has become. Even for people in this group that are above average aware of privacy risks, its just so hard. The internet would have to be redesigned by privacy conscious people but that will never happen as big tech would see their interests at risk and would strongly oppose. How do you get people to switch to Simple X Chat when I struggle to get them to use Signal.

Portainer 3.0 is coming, and here's what it means for you — Portainer
Having read this whoke thread, i feel its time to drop Portainer. I find it useful to edit the stackfile and do updates, as well as cleaning old volumes and images. Seems like Arcane and Dockhand are the most popular substitutes. Is the migration from Portainer easy?

The EU is about to sell your most sensitive data to the US for visa-free travel - European Digital Rights (EDRi)

In fact, i've scratched it off my list of places to see before i die. This is a country where it is illegal to bring a bottle of wine home from the restaurant but ut's legal to carry a gun in your car.

Well, this is what I thought too. Also, any other country under US influence would have handed him over to the US. See the saga that poor Assange has gone through. What worries me is that public opinion is rather silent to stories like those of Assange and Snowden. Whistle blowing should be seen as a right. If the organization I work for is ethically and morally misbehaving, I have the right to blow the whistle through the right internal channels to start with. If nobody listens, then you take it to the next level.

I don't know where u live but EU brings good things too. Go and ask the Brits who are mourning the departure they voted for 10 years ago. Of course there are a lot of things that could be improved but that is the responsibility of us citizens.

I am asked for Gmail
Reply in thread
This is a massive problem here too. Schools create these google accounts where teachers share work, etc. Its as if only google existed. How can we teach our kids to be openminded? I praise the suposedly young person that posted. Not all young people understand the threats of lockins.

Another update that no one asked for
Reply in thread
I agree. In principle Nextcloud is a great idea and project but it has a lot of issues that make maintaining a pain. I had it for over 2 years and at every update it was painfull. I gave up and moved to Syncthing+Radicale. Is there something I miss? Yes, the ability to share as Syncthing doesn't allow sharing.

Follow up on supporting Immich announcement - change of wording
I'm not sure what the right model is to get money flowing in. It seems like they took the easy route. 100 dollars for a server licence is not really that small amount considering that most server users are families? I would have preferred massive fund raising campaigns .... I'm a bit lazy and need lots of nagging to get my credit card out .... But its right these guys get some income for their work. As long as code remains AGPL ... I bet soon there will be a fork like happened with Emby. I ended up purchasing the server licence a a few month later moved to the forked version ...🙂

When you say "I close city water', sounds like you are also drinking that water? Sounds like a cool idea that I too have been thinking about. That water needs disinfection though

Looks very interesting. But as others noted, still too young, only two releases in 3 months and 1 person. Certainly to keep an eye out. The MIT licence worries me too. I always add the licence in the criteria ;-)

What would be needed for a new video hosting service to overtake YouTube?
Reply in thread
I think human lazyness as you say is the biggest obsticle. My kids school sent out a Google form the other day to collect family stats. A google form requires a google email and i had degooglised the family 5-6 years ago. My wife was concerned that not providing the info would singke out my son but i was determined to not fill that form, thus passing my data to Google. So i called up the school and sought a second method. The school secretary eventually agreed to record the info over the phone. I lost 30 mins of my day. Basically, if we don't have the will to mske change, change will never come. But then we have no right to complain, do we?
