Don’t think you’re grown and will only make smart decisions now. I only started making the right decisions yesterday. And I’ll say the same thing tomorrow.
“We regret to inform you little Timmy didn’t pass his final secondary-school exam because he couldn’t count back change from a transaction. We will send his ashes as soon as they’re ready.”
Listening to other people, especially to women, is a skill. Don’t spend silent time in a conversation waiting for your chance to speak or be smart or witty, stay quiet and really process what you’re hearing. Imagine yourself in their situation. Accept that what they say is exactly how they feel.
The less time you spend talking, the more your conversational partner will tell you, and the more you will start to understand them, their lives, their goals, and their anxieties.
Knowing and understanding other peoples’ experiences will help you not only make better decisions in your own life, but understand why other people act and think the way they do. You’ll be less likely to snap-judge or make assumptions about others. And knowing more about your loved ones, co-workers, and neighbours will allow you to help them effectively if they need it.
And travel abroad as much as possible - listen to people from other countries and cultures. The human experience is wildly varied and endlessly fascinating.
One of the bigger things that makes something “secure” is going to be a chain of trust, whereas you are using a third-party library. That’s one difference, but as you’ve already mentioned, a larger security model and protocol with solid functional tests and regular auditing is probably going to be safer than something like this.
How can I describe the chain of trust in a self hosted system? I’m sure auditing will help inspire confidence but this isn’t something I can do for the app. Open sourcing is the next best thing to open it up to public review.
A third-party library breaks chain of trust was my point. If you don’t have control over the code being used, you can’t certify it to be absolutely safe. This is something fairly essential when trying to prove your software to be secure. See the ‘xz’ fiasco from earlier this year.
The frontend and the peerjs-server are open source and selfhostable independently. This should address any third party concerns. Perhaps the app can only be considered secure if it’s self hosted?
Well, I guess it depends on your audience. I’m not saying don’t put it out there. I was just giving you the answers you were asking for in your original post by comparison. Put it out on GitHub, listen to issues filed, address concerns, and just work with it. If you think it really sets itself apart and is useful in some way, there’s absolutely no reason to not put it out.
I have a shit ton of physical media going back into the eighties
If you care about it, you should make sure that you still have it, and not just useless plastic, and make backup copies (and / or upload it)… magnetic tapes and discs degrade quite fast, and even CDs and DVDs have a limited lifespan… vinyls will probably be fine, though if treated properly.
I watch things fairly often, and so far, I haven’t lost anything that was oop before I could make a copy (which is why I go through them, even if it’s just background noise while I do other things). That’s the flow chart; pick the next one, check to see if it’s still available, if it isn’t either rip it or download it, then watch to verify the physical.
But, thank you very much for looking out :) That’s a genuinely cool thing to do
