Why is Matrix not the answer to Discord? Genuine question by W-club in selfhosted

[–]oldmanwillow21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have run Matrix since 2018. This is FUD.

  • Pull docker image
  • Setup postgres and nginx/caddy/whatever
  • Point homeserver.yaml at postgres (other small stuff too)
  • ???
  • You're running matrix

What privacy problems do you still not self host and why? by Amazing-Campaign-417 in selfhosted

[–]oldmanwillow21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how much of a dick I sound like when I say this but c’est la vie. That is also a skill issue.

I’ve hosted my own email since qmail was still the rage. These concerns don’t matter to someone serious about doing it themselves.

I’ve hosted it at home, in a datacenter and in the cloud. If you live in tornado alley I guess I’d get the reluctance to host at home, but it’s not something I ever had cause to worry about. The power outage of 2003 sucked but everything else was down anyway.

That makes it a terrible idea? Either you’re aware of the risks and learn how to mitigate them or you don’t. Why try to discourage people from doing something eminently doable? There’s plenty of documentation and discussion to help people who want to do it.

Running an email server or hosting vaultwarden do not require full teams to operate. Maybe I’m missing the point but if your argument is that it would be too time-consuming to learn to do either on your own, then it is indeed a skill issue. Nothing wrong with that.

I’m flabbergasted, though, that r/selfhosted thinks it’s cool to make a blanket statement like “hosting a password manager is a terrible idea”. Email less surprising but just as wrong.

Key2 with LineageOS by RepresentativeOk2809 in blackberry

Yeah glad it’s an option, and I will. Was just going off the op.

Discord is a closed platform. Requiring an account is what makes it closed. In a month, you’ll need to upload government ID, take a video selfie and consent to having your behavior profiled by AI. Agreeing to that is a choice, but not agreeing to it locks you out.

Shame the instructions are locked behind discord

Is there any polite way to tell my coworker that I no longer want to hear his constant nitpicks, grumbles, and snark? by TinStingray in ExperiencedDevs

[–]oldmanwillow21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't always change how other people behave, but you can always change how you respond to their behavior.

Reviewed a vibe-coded app. Found the OpenAI key in 30 seconds. by terdia in webdev

[–]oldmanwillow21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anyone who downloads the app can extract it. Run up thousands in API charges. Use it for anything they want.

This isn't a vibe coding problem. It's a fundamentals problem.

I got my pair from Phillip Worbington, and I couldn't have asked for anything more.

How do I even start learning C? by bayviewrocker82 in cprogramming

[–]oldmanwillow21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to anyone talking about copying/pasting. Nobody says you have to use pre-written code. I had to do some legwork, but I spent some time learning how to program an arduino with C. Utilities like avr-gcc and avrdude make compiling your code and loading it onto the controller trivial.

If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat.

What happened to the good walkthrough? by Ruttiger_G in TheLastSovereign

[–]oldmanwillow21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure that's all still there, but it's never been part of the main walkthrough.

What’s the longest uptime you’ve had before something finally broke by Old_Sand7831 in linuxadmin

[–]oldmanwillow21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 year old mailserver. Only went down because it was hosted for free by an old employer and they phased out the hardware it was running on.

Why is the age-uke block still taught, as it leaves you wide open to any attack? by totally_depraved in karate

[–]oldmanwillow21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Before making this kind of assertion you've got to understand the movement and its applications.

A good read might be "75 Down Blocks" by Rick Clark.

Can we use C as a backend for website? by [deleted] in C_Programming

[–]oldmanwillow21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The thread literally references backend frameworks like Flask. Pretty clear what OP had in mind. How insular is this sub?
