hosted on GitHub, the irony…

it used to be cheaper, and with an audio jack. Add some environment and social consideration and I see many reasons to buy it.

Or you can buy a Google phone from Amazon and text about privacy or freeing Palestine while sipping your Starbucks coffee in your Tesla car.

Not everything has to be about how much do you personally get for the money you give.

I am so glad I could get the Faiphone 3 while it still had an audio jack. At that time the hardware was not too far behind, still too much for my use which is mainly scrolling through obscure left-ish forums and YouTube channels (thanks newpipe) and startups late-stage capitalist hacker news (I don’t know any better about tech).

Are we implying that we should tap every phone call?

We can say a lot of very bad stuff over the phone too. Should we have a way to prevent this?

OK I got it, you are completely out of the loop here.

You do not grasp the idea of NoScript and other JS filtering extension. This is not about server code, your all arguments is baseless here.

By the way JS refered to Javascript and not NodeJS.

Anyway I got you whole company/business talk about “keeping the service available, secure, performant” and “GDPR […] bankrupting fine”… yeah lemmy.world.

Thanks for your answer.

First I don’t even grasp what a “service owner” is.

Second, for JS front-end openness there are already a bunch of app (web, android) that are open-source and secured. Everything has dependencies nowadays, this doesn’t prevent good security. Think all the python app and their dependencies, rust, android… even c\c++ packages are built with dependencies and security updates are necessary (bash had security issues).

I think with JS scripts it’s actually even easier to have good security because the app is ran in our web browser so the only possible attacker is the website we are visiting itself. If they are malicious then the close-sourced JS script is even worse. Unless you count 3rd party scripts embedded that bad dev uses in their website without even thinking about trusting them. That is also awful in both open or close source environment.

So even having imperfect security (which happens regardless to openness), who is the attacker here? I would rather run js script on my end if the code can be checked.

I believe you missed the point, I am not in defense of Security through obscurity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_through_obscurity), quiet the opposite.

The point: “[…] risk for the service owner as it gives an easily parsable way for an attacker to check […]” is well known and not the discussion here. You can choose close source for ‘security’ this is opensource community so I am wondering about such a tool.

Are we codeberg yet?

Justin Pot is no expert but expert on writing.

Thank you for sharing this. I didn’t know this FS yet. It seems new and have some nice goals. I always have a grudge against zfs/btrfs because of the resource usage/performance.

I’ll keep an eye on this. I’d love to find some benchmarks.

I tried watching the video. I am genuinely interested but I couldn’t. The video is uncuted (edit: uncut*, my English is so bad) and very slow paced. After 10 minutes I gave up (50 minutes remaining).

Maybe an other time or with an other video.

it’s been at least 7 years now, I don’t have any hope.

Wine is fine so I guess proton would be.

Damned, this is so frustrating when you cannot switch yet. Not like Wayland is perfect anyway but I felt the same with pipewire where the new system as some needed improvement but the switch is harsh.

They list gitea but not forgejo. That’s not really advocating for FOSS. “all” (the ones I looked at) are startup products coined as open-source.

I really don’t like this website and this list, to me this is replacing bad solutions by other bad solutions (I am sorry for the people that like firebase and co).

I am sorry for the negativity but I really don’t enjoy this link and all it represents and all the people enjoying such content. I guess I/we should explicitly separate FOSS from open-source.

I may be out of touch and should be educated on why/how this is good.

I don’t like it being HTTP based and TLS (certificate?), nor I am a fan of flutter and the other 70-ish dependencies (https://github.com/localsend/localsend/blob/main/app/pubspec.yaml).

KDEConnect is great and does way more than file sharing, I’ll stick with that.

Thanks for the link, I knew hyperbola for many years from afar. Reading this gave me a lot more insight on the project. I find it very cool and pushing toward better software like GNU, openBSD and suckless.

Nothing is perfect but for server this distribution could be a nice option . I’d love to see an arm version of it. I guess RISC-V would also be a perfect match for them

It really has the vibe of an hbomberguy video. I also feel the background is a subtle tribute to his style.

We always had. Many people wrote personal notes/letters in cryptic ways to prevent unwanted readers from deciphering it.

Imagine a word where we would teach children not to make their own cypher because this is illegal. What a distopian society.
