Polycenric and Harbour (gitlab.futo.org)
 

Hi,

anyone come across and used the Polycentric + Harbour option for managing digital ID? What do you think about it? Does it really manage IDs in a private and secure way? I came across FLUTO who seem to be great promoters of "software for the benefit of humanity" but you always wonder how much you can trust these thrid parties ... when they decide to sell your data?

I confirm too that banking apps on /e/ is a bit of a nightmare. But I used /e/ for 3 years or so and was very happy until I moved to GrapheneOS.

Same mistake I made. But I'll probably keep using it until the battery is completely dead.

I totally agree. Used pixels are superb with grapheneos. Syncthing is what i use ad a backup. I think the problemi is that google stops releasing updates after 5 yearss old units don't get updates I think. I have the 5th June build and it reports a security update of December 2023.

Configuring Host Path Validation (www.truenas.com)
 

I'm trying to get my head around this. If I have a media folder of videos that I mount via NFS so that I can access from my laptop, my understanding is that I need to disable "Configuring Host Path Validation" if I then have an app like Jellyfin reading that folder for serving videos to my family. It this correct or am I misunderstanding?

The alternative is that I would need two difference datasets created, one for the NFS share and one for Jellyfin but this defeats the purpose, plus is an incredible waste of space. Please tell me I have it all wrong ...

Isn't that called "capitalism gone bad"? The principles of capitalism and that story about competitiveness is good but in a global economy where monopolies distort the market, by reflection you'll have bending of rules which thrives thanks to a political class that is driven not by ideals, but rather personal interests and ego. Those that have the poet will abuse it. I'm not surprised at all. What is worse is that peoples brains are becoming numb thanks to social media. We are not able to think for ourselves anymore.

Wow, I was so engrained in Signal that I didn't even realize there was something more secure. Signal is now as useable as Whatapp. I still don't understand why people still use it. Is SimpleX usable and can I get my 80 year old mum to use it?
