I don’t get why they say that? Sure, maybe the attackers don’t know that I’m on Ubuntu 21.2 but if they come across https://paperless.myproxy.com and the Paperless-NGX website opens, I’m pretty sure they know they just visited a Paperless install and can try the exploits they know. Yes, the last part was a bit snarky, but I am truly curious how it can help? Since I’ve looked at proxies multiple times to use it for my selfhosted stuff but I never saw really practical examples of what to do and how to set it up to add an safety/security layer so I always fall back to my VPN and leave it at that.

With mobile I also meant iPad so they’re good on that. To me “Photo” has a lot of Photoshop abilities (drawing, pencils, etc.) while it lacks, or seems to lack, some Lightroom functions (categorizing, overview of photos, ratings, etc.). But maybe I haven’t looked at it good enough. It’s certainly a good option to replace photoshop for me, because I don’t use most functions of photoshop.

That looks great. It’s mostly a Photoshop replacement right? I’m also looking for something to replace Lightroom, with the same amount of functions on desktop as on iPad. Any recommendations?

I’ve been on the verge of cancelling my subscription for multiple times now. But everytime I try an alternative it’s missing something (for instance capture one mobile does not do masks/layers…), and so I keep shipping shitloads of money to a company which has dickass privacy rules and extorts you out of money.

I don’t think so. I do have a keychron keyboard, but that’s just USB C I believe.

Going to try both. Someone else mentioned the dummy HDMI plug as well, so I got good hopes for that. Also going to look into Incuss. Never heard of it before.

Thanks, going to do this as well. I had it on a monitor for a while and all looked fine while logged in on the console. Would be a bummer though if this would be true.

Hmm, this does sound like it makes sense. I got the feeling that as soon as I removed the monitor it would stop working in a couple of minutes. But I thought that couldn’t be. Thanks for the tip! Going to see if that helps and I’m going to update the BIOS.

Thanks, will do.

I too miss reddit sometimes. Mostly because it had such a large userbase that there was always something interesting to find/read. If you had the right subreddits it was a very nice and friendly place. I like the fediverse (I’m on mbin) but there are still some hurdles to take. Such as finding nice magazines not on your home server. There are some lists and stuff, but I just want to search in the search bar of the site and find them. Also, there is still a 20 year gap of information. If you have a question it is most likely already asked at reddit. So searching on DuckDuckGo or Reddit will almost certainly give you an answer. Searching on the fediverse won’t give you the same hitrate. Especially for more non-mainstream subjects. For instance: I have a specific kind of motorcycle, the magazine on the fediverse is dead. Not one post, no activity (so that’s my fault as well). On reddit, there a couple of thousand threads. I just recently decided I wanted to interact more on the fediverse (hence this reply) to put in my effort to keep the fediverse alive, active and growing. I just need to find some subjects to start a relevant and interesting new thread.

I don’t think lemmy/mbin/etc. will be as popular since it’s too much trouble for the non-techies. I do think mastodon/misskey/etc. is quite active and interesting. It’s better then twitter. And since I follow the right people I really like pixelfed instead of instagram. I think those are better, but it is an adjustment. Since you have to put in the work to find the right people to follow. And while I dislike the instagram algorithm, it did offer some very good, high quality photography. But I think it’s going the facebook way. Facebook in it’s early days was a great way to see what your friends and family where up to. Now it’s just old memes, stupid jokes, fake news and advertisements. Instagram is becoming that as well.

On macOS you need to do that quite a couple of times. Changing settings, installing stuff to run in the background, install stuff to open open login, etc. So it is there. Furthermore a lot of programs and guides for linux are written to make it easy so they use sudo but you don’t always have to run it as root. But not doing so usually requires more steps. So linux is more restricting but to circumvent that, people use sudo a bit too much.

Blocking outgoing traffic isn’t needed. But was mere a headsup if that is something you’ve alread setup. What router do you have? Usually when you open a port there is a dropdown menu or checkboxes for what kind of connection the port opening is allowed.

If your forgejo host needs to connect to the outside world, you can open the port for incomming traffic only for related and established traffic. That way when somebody wants to connect to your port as a new connection it will fail. So when somebody has bad intentions, it will not work unless you’ve already connected to them in the first place. You need to permit outgoing traffic from forgejo if you block outgoing traffic.

Good to know it doesn’t have all the functions. Feels more and more that they would like to make money out of it. Which is fine, but then I feel less inclined to help them serve the fediverse.

Ah, that’s what my guess was. It couldn’t be that people just gave up on hosting it.

What a shock, BaaS is not interesting anymore.

That’s funny I just looked at your site and vacancies today. I do not qualify for any of those spots though. You’ve got an impressive amount of services build up. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, I was also doubting about Hugo but came about writefreely as well.

Does your girlfriend use your devices or accounts? Seems very strange to me that they would do that. Or they want to fuck you over even more by making it less easy to deny that you didn’t create that account since the password is linked to you/your girlfriend. But then again, LE would need to be made aware of the password before that makes sense.

In that case, enjoy! It’s a great feeling when you get it working.

If you’re going to do it on your synology, see if you need to fix the TUN error. Also, you need to add ip routes to your synology to have the IP’s from your VPN on docker forwarded to docker. Make sure these are persistent or added on every startup.

Make sure you allow the VPN to work by adding it to the synology firewall.

You need to setup port forwarding on your router. It needs to point to your synology to the port which is linked to the docker container. You also need to add the route to your router to be able to access your network. For instance, if your VPN has 10.0.3.* and your LAN uses 10.0.0., your LAN/router won’t know where to send the response packets to the VPN network. So when connected to your VPN you will never be able to load stuff. If you add that 10.0.3. needs to route to your synology, and your synology knows that range needs to be routed to the Docker VPN container everybody knows where it needs to go.
