Nacktmull , to nostupidquestions in Data privacy: how to counter the "I have nothing to hide" argument?
@Nacktmull@lemmy.world avatar

What counters it is the fact that you might not have anything to hide now but you might have to hide something in the future. Circumstances might change, your country might turn into an authoritarian dictatorship over time, that declares a quality or behavior of yours to be illegal. They can and will use all your data against you to prosecute you.

Jordan_the_hutt ,

This is a very real possibility for pretty much every country in the world right now. Authoritarianism is on the rise

Can’t wait for a Fediverse alternative to launch to be honest

nitefox OP ,

I don’t think it would fix any of its faults tho

NightOwl ,

Yeah, I feel anything connected to real IDs is destined to end up turning into a self promotion, advertising, product placement, influencer platform.

Blaze ,

It is, but at least you would be able to filter chronologically and not whatever LinkedIn uses these days

banana_meccanica , (edited ) to reddit in Nuking old Reddit accounts

Honestly I think there is an overvalutatin on what was shared. Do you really think to popping gold by comments? I mean, at best you probably have 3 or 4 moments in one year. This hostage situation is all inside the head so far.

w00tabaga OP ,

It’s not so much that I think my content was such a great and big addition to the site on why I want to delete. In fact, it’s not that at all.

I just like the idea of Reddit being riddled with posts with comment threads that don’t offer much as a whole as most stuff has been removed. I’m just trying to do my part, and if it makes a few people aware of Lemmy, all the better.

brickfrog ,

Eh it depends. When we had one of our subs locked there in protest we constantly received modmail from random google searchers asking to be let in so they can read random posts they found via google. The funny thing is many of those posts were things I had commented answers in. Makes me wonder how many of those google searches are now dead ends after the comment answer was deleted.

On the other side, back when I was a mod there I used to point people to earlier posts that discussed whatever question was being asked & sometimes people would complain that the earlier posts were useless since other people deleted their own comment answers in them. Even before Reddit protests people would routinely wipe their Reddit history, as a mod it was easy to see it happen in real time.

So overall people deleting their own comments does have some effect on making searches pointing to Reddit, or within Reddit, kind of useless.

banana_meccanica ,

I get this but still feeling in debt looks bad. This feel of begin necessary that makes impossible to delete and go on. I know sometimes reddit comments offert good Info’s, still this can’t be mean that a single website as to be the repository of all knowage, expeccialy if that website is corrupted. That is the check to avoid.

This is more of a support question, please see the sidebar for suggestions on communities where you could better ask this question. Removing under rule #3.

freeman , to selfhosted in Hey selfhosters, what are you selfhosting?

Plex, nzb/sonarr/lidarr/radar/, homeassistant, AD, vpn, teamspeak, lemmy, a blog, wifi controller, cert authority, Pi-hole, mail relay, all data/files etc, backups of email from workspace, zabbix for monitoring, miniflux, windows update cache, quicken server

Probably more.

ratz OP ,

Nice - what are you using to cache windows updates? LANcache?

freeman ,

Straight up wsus with a nightly script to keep it from fucking itself up.

Fergie434 ,

AD and wsus? Do you need a paid license to run that?

freeman , (edited )

My job pays for a visual studio dev kit that gets windows server keys. Though I may move to samba 4 And just drop wsus entirely

silver , to selfhosted in Caddy with Cloudflare DNS fails to solve acme challenge

It’s been a while since I use caddy but I use the dns for nginx, make sure you are using the correct api key, it does not like using a too permissive one.
So a zone token instead of an account token.

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Already done that. The permissions of the API are Zone:Read & DNS:Edit That was what was stated in the Caddy github page.

DrManhattan , (edited ) to selfhosted in Looking for smart home tools

HomeAssistant and OpenHAB are good places to start. I don’t know too much about OpenHAB, but for HomeAssistant you can do almost everything locally.

ESPHome is a good example of a project that they fund where you can use ESP8266/ESP32 devices to create several sensors and other devices for local IoT. They also have a number of ways to bypass cloud requirements for Tuya based devices, Phillips Hue, etc.

Plus this year is “Year of the Voice Assistant” and they’re working on enhancing a locally accessible and hosted voice assistant that doesn’t require cloud access.

Edit: If you’re a DIY kind of person like I am, HomeAssistant offers compatibility with a number of other projects like presence detection via ESPresence, custom firmware for ESP32Cam via Tasmota, WLED for controlling RGB lightstrips and matrices, lots of 3D printing opportunities too. I found it a lot of fun to go through my home and find ways to make things work. Blinds, accent lighting, automations based on time and other factors, etc.

Plus the hardware requirements for HomeAssistant aren’t that high. You can run it on an RPi4b with 2/4/8GB RAM (I would suggest at least 4), a VM that you can expand later and so forth.

Marretics ,

Since I am on the same journey as OP and tried it just recently, I have one thing to add about openHAB:

It does not come with actual login credential handling. If you want to make your smart home accessible from outside your home network I cannot recommend openHAB.

I am currently going with Home Aisstant mainly for that reason.

DrManhattan ,

Very good point. HomeAssistant offers a paid service called Nabu Casa that provides you a secure way to access your entire HomeAssistant instance, including cameras, sensors, you can set up mobile push notifications, and more.

Marretics ,

Thanks for the hint I did not know about Nabu Casa.

Although I am not clear about the benefit of the service. I thought I could achieve the same kind of access with simply forwarding ports 80 and 443 from my router to my home assistant. Is there anything wrong with my intended setup?

Oliper202020 ,

Well, cloudflare is (supposedly) more secure, but other then that, not really, everything in nabu casa can be achieved without it, but nabu casa is easier and supports home assistant

vividspecter ,

If you want to make your smart home accessible from outside your home network I cannot recommend openHAB.

You can use a VPN instead for this. Which is a good idea in general, in my view, unless you need your resources to be publicly accessible.

Although I agree that even LAN services should ideally have some sort of credentials anyway.

Marretics ,

Using a VPN does work for restricting outside access, however I found that for me this was not convenient enough for two reasons:

  1. I would need to setup a VPN server at my home network
  2. I would need to connect to my VPN everytime before trying to access my smart home devices
vividspecter ,
  1. I would need to setup a VPN server at my home network

I haven’t used it, but most people consider Tailscale to be easy to setup. But of course, what is hard or easy varies from person to person.

  1. I would need to connect to my VPN everytime before trying to access my smart home devices

You can leave it on all the time and configure it to not route internet traffic through the VPN (if you don’t have the upload bandwidth at home).
