4·5 months agoThanks! I just was planning to install my chip mod modbo v5.0.
Pocket just works. And now Mozilla is killing it. It’s a shame. There are even companies asking them to take over the software and support. So pocket will stay… Not sure how far that is.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Do you actually audit open source projects you download?
7·6 months agoYes. It’s important to verify the dependencies and perform audits like automated scans on the source code and packages from repositories like PyPi and npm. Which is done on my day job.
Also before mirroring data, I look at the source code level if I see anything suspicious. Like phoning home or for example obfuscated code. Or other red flags.
Even at home, working on ‘hobby projects’, I might not have the advantage of the advance scanning source code tools, but I’m still suspicious, since I know there is also a lot of sh*t out there.
Even for home projects I limit the amount of packages I use. I tent to only use large (in terms of users), proven (lot of stars and already out for a long time) and well maintained packages (regular security updates, etc.). Then again, without any advance code scanning tool it’s impossible to fully scan it all. Since you still have dependencies on dependencies with dependencies that might have a vurnability. Or even things as simple as openssl heartbleed bug or repository take overs by evil maintainers. It’s inevitable, but you can take precautions.
Tldr: I try my best with the tools I have. I can’t do more then that. Simple and small projects in C is easier to audit then for example a huge framework or packages with tons of new dependencies. Especially in languages like Python, Go and Javascript/typescript. You have been warned.
Edit: this also means you will need to update your packages often. Not only on your distro. But also when using these packages with npm and PyPi, go or php composer. Just writing your code once and deploy is not sufficient anymore. The chances you are using some packages that are vulnerable is very high and you will need to regularly update your packages. I think updating is just as important as auditing.

14·6 months agoI think nobody is a fan of Palantir. In a truly democratic society people would never allow such a company to collect all your data.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•I make Peersuite, a p2p encrypted discord alternative
2·6 months agoIt doesn’t contradict by definition. So ipfs is also decentralized yet you will need to run a client /server. So the client is also the server. Allowing you to connect to a mesh decentralized system. Just like torrent is also both a client and a server.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Thousands of Asus routers are being hit with stealthy, persistent backdoors
4·6 months agoThe real issue with this is actually allowing bad actors having a free ddos network. And this ddos network is spread across nations and across all kind of legit IPs. No cloud ranges. Etc.
Meaning it’s very hard to detect or block.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How can I contribute processing power to the community?
21·6 months agoWell, I’m willing to take the risk then. I host all my fediverse services at home.

That sounds a bit extreme. You are not hosting csam on purpose. And most likely try to moderate as good as possible.
I actually believe more people should host their own server. And get rid of the cloud. Not moving more to the cloud.

4·6 months agoYou could also use it for running more services at home 😬. Thinks like Wekan, nextcloud, gitlab, matrix server, mbin, mastodon, grafana, mumble…

What happened? Why is it down 😭
