I don’t know what is spam for you, but when you get three message requests from three girls respectively named Tania, Clara and Ella that are contacting you about you carrier or your management skills, I call it spam.

The way that Signal integrates phone number is odd because it opens up the spam door. O understand why Signal use phone numbers this way (to make “normies” adopt Signal more easily like WhatsApp would do) but it not the best to kind of contaminate the network with the traditional cell network

Scams, girls wanting to chat with you, incredible money opportunities…

You can go to Simplex (for sure a lot of people here already done it) but if only privacy nerds get to this place this is not a great solution. We (I’m talking about us using Lemmy and chatting on SimpleX) must convince people, starting by friends and family to stop using these fucking socials then at this point SimpleX will be considered as a viable alternative

It’s not an argument. Think about regular mobile numbers, are they preventing spams? No.

Just the old .ssh/config file, works like a charm on all terminals :)

It’s rare for laptop to come with hardware switches for microphones but some of them are built with camera switches

Have seen a Dell Latitude 5400 (I think) with an hardware camera cover

In our scenario we are thinking about someone trying to sneak on you. But a jack mic cut off is not removing the internal microphone just putting the source to a different one. So if this person has access to your PC he coule surely access other sensors than the cut off jack

Personnaly I hate all the companies that are saying they are trust worthy because they are swiss, but nevermind this is not your question. Personnaly I wouldn’t recommended you at all a “prebuilt” NAS as later you will be stuck in a proprietary env that not gonna serve you well. So buy a cheap PC out of eBay and customize it to your needs

Edit : typo

If you want to be good in your mind, make it open source and publicly available.

The other solution is to keep it BUT think a little, if such a dev like you succeeded to make a such great working product don’t you think that five eyes (and others) could do a much more advanced product within a shorter period of time?

So if you don’t make it to the public someone will develop it m against your will

Could be super great

Thank you gonna check it

Good idea for normal people that are not really knowing how and what to put on such a device

In theory this is great, but in reality this will be used very badly by big corporates and all of this shit world

Oh sorry didn’t go very deep

Where did you found that SimpleX was for profit?

Based around a company

Not working

Wouldn’t really recommend threema and would include SimpleX

Said *without docker

Basically wants to setup SearXNG without using docker but wants to understand how apache serves it
