I started hosting an image board out of my house, in the past I've also hosted space station 13 servers. Hosting things from my bedroom has become a hobby of mine.
My ss13 is closed now due to disinterest and lack of a player base.
I'm in the process of setting up a home NAS.
I get a big thrill out of connecting to my homelab from my phone.
What else can I host from home that might actually be useful?

A forum.
A library.
A personal cloud drive.
A wiki.

Git forge.
Fediverse microblog.
Communications (XMPP/Mumble/email/IRC.)
Icecast Radio.

I want to tighten my opsec. I figured the best way is to try to get experienced hackers to try to bust me, as unwise as that might sound. is there a website, forum or community where you can ask people to pwn you?

>>24781
It's kinda hard, but I guess there are ways you could DIY. You either need to learn yourself or have someone (or some group, company, whatever) TRUSTABLE do a (paid) pentest on your devices and network for you (and it's expensive).
There are tools that could help you, tools that defensive/SOC and offensive security people use, like vulnerability and network scanners (Nessus, ), centralized monitoring tools, antivirus and EDRs (Endpoint Detection and Response software), binary/source code scanners for prevention and detection, traffic monitoring, packet inspection tools…
None of these tools are 100% reliable, they give false positives AND negatives.

get into a toxic and codependent relationship with a genuine crazy person. dump them and then see how hard it is for them to stalk you

>>24781
If you're not hosting anything, then other than having a good firewall most attacks would involve you explicitly doing (downloading/uploading) something no? Think phishing or PDFs; best way would be to upload a PDF in this thread, and you would inevitably download it etc.

>>29392
>most attacks would involve you explicitly doing (downloading/uploading) something no?
Most, but there are attacks that may exploit 0-day vulnerabilities (or 1-day vulns, or even old vulns if you don't update your shit) that do everything automatically, so the complexity of your defenses depends on your threat model.
A firewall with a whitelist could be useful but depends on the program(s) being exploited, the exploit(s) used and the privileges gained.

>>29389
BTW, I forgot to mention that there are LOTS of free and/or open-source security tools out there for offensive and defensive operations. In fact, some FOSS tools are the best ones in their categories. DYOR, or ask here if you want to know more.

> The original design concept of ThinkPad was created in 1990 by Italy-based designer Richard Sapper, a corporate design consultant of IBM and, since 2005, Lenovo.[7][8][9] Sapper is noted for the design of classic products such as the Tizio lamp for Artemide, office chair for Knoll, kitchenwares for Alessi and ballpoint for Lamy.[10][11] The design was based on the concept of a traditional Japanese Bento lunchbox revealing its nature only after being opened.[3][7][9] According to later interviews with Sapper, he also characterized the simple ThinkPad form to be as elementary as a simple, black cigar box and with similar proportions that offers a 'surprise' when opened

Why people jerk off everything that Apple shits out when all their designs are just bargain store Dieter Rams while an actual designer is behind Thinkpads is beyond me.

Still downplaying the inconvenience of spare batteries even if you're just plugging a powerbank into the USBC. A laptop should be able to last an entire workday on battery. It makes a huge difference in convenience that you don't appreciate until you've tried it. My work laptop is mind bogglingly more powerful but also a bulky piece of shit with about 4 hours battery life. Got a used M1 macbook air that I code on during the weekends and it's fucking night and day I can pack a lunch work in the park while it's cool in the morning go to a cafe in the afternoon, don't need to charge once all day, not lugging around deadweight.

Are Thinkpad Nanos any good? I'm a med student and need something as light as possible with a good battery life while I clown around on the wards all day. Specs don't matter much - I'm using a 2017 Macbook Air and it's good enough for me, just dying.

I've had this idea for a while of a piece of software that aggregates Labor News from all of the world, and allows the user to sort them by country, type of news (labor strike, union busting, laws passed/repealed, settlements reached, cooperative formed, etc.) It would do this for each and every country and do this only for News platforms that are written from a pro-labor perspective (so you don't end up with a bunch of RadioFreeAsia type crap).

Is this a naive idea? I know people already use RSS feeds for this kind of thing but I'm thinking of something a little more specific.

This is a pretty good idea, might be willing to help some.
The tricky bit would probably be scraping (beautifulsoup etc.)
Many socialist news sites are not going to have an RSS feed.
You would probably also need volunteers to do tagging.

As an alternative you could have something like the main view of https://lobste.rs
But with a bot automatically collecting certain news articles, by scraping etc.
Once again with volunteers tagging them, or optionally even submitting stories.

This just got more real for /tech/
https://pluralistic.net/2025/04/27/some-animals/#are-more-equal-than-others

RSS and Atom feed if you only want per-country categorization, and each site is country-specific
I guess more granular organization would be even trickier, and obviously require DIY software
You would probably have to manually organize recent news articles according to the "news type"

If you actually wanted to make this the first step would be to gather pro-labor news sources to scrape. A minimal viable program would just scrape and output an RSS feed.

We all know there's mechanical, electromechanical, analog electronic, and digital electronic.

But what about about digital-mechanical?

Most people assume analog means only mechanical, and digital only means electronic.
But isn't there any form of media or machinery where it's purely mechanical but in a digital manner?

>digital-mechanical
It's called "relay logic" as an electrician I have had to work with it but luckily most of the time my clients have enough money I can convince them to replace it with PLCs.

Bio-digital?
Bioelectrical/Biomechanical = nervous system

many adding machines are purely mechanical and digital, including mechanical cash registers. Zuse's Z1 computer was also purely mechanical. I've seen papers about nanomechanical computers being a potentially fruitful approach to computing

So, is Opera GX spyware or not? I want real hard evidence, not just insinuations that the "CCP" is going to do some Bad Thing to my data because China Bad.

Is Opera Chinese now?

>>28926
owned 71% by a chinese company,and the chairman also owns 10% and is part of that company.
the biggest problem is still that it's chromium based

>>28927
I mean I really wouldn't care if a chinese company bought the majority of, for example, Meta. Because It would still be Meta. The CCP doesn't oversee every decision a chinese company makes for overseas ventures, just has a spanking paddle ready if a line is crossed.

It is spyware for chinese companies who have no qualms about selling your data to western porky because to get rich is glorious.

Does anyone know how Twitter views are counted?

According to the official website
>Anyone who is logged into X who views a post counts as a view, regardless of where they see the post (e.g. Home, Search, Profiles, etc.) or whether or not they follow the author. If you’re the author, looking at your own post also counts as a view.
>Multiple views may be counted if you view a post more than once, but not all views are unique. For example, you could look at a post on web and then on your phone, and that would count as two views.

From what I've read elsewhere, Twitter counts a view every time a post is displayed on a user's screen, regardless of if the person viewing it has already seen the Tweet. Can anyone confirm?

Yes, yes selfhosting is the most privacyrespecting way, I know, but I'm not a richfag. So here is my idea:
I use something like lambda.chat with a VPN. Is this enough, to prevent them from creating a shadow profile of me? Or should I stick with duck.ai ? I like lambda.chat more, because it has Dipsy. What do you think?

Youtube is relentlessly attacking all proxies, from yt-dlp to invidious to materialious

Google/Chrome/Chromium is attacking adblocking infrastructure via base software design

This thread is for tracking this development and the hacked solutions produced by the resistance

You have enough storage at home to store all a youtube videos at home? Beside that, you would also need a recommending algorithm, so you can know, what to watch.

File: 1745429807229.png (383.27 KB, 720x1612, Screenshot_20250423-193507.png)

Ah, I love reading the comments on Youtube…

>>29256
Admittedly, it is not a very feasible strategy.
A better strategy would be having a list of all youtuber channel links in text, then visiting those channels with a crawler to determine new videos.

After stripping only the new ones, then potentially watching those ones, but furthermore using other video websites and doing the same for a customized feed.

>>29256
But of course having a recommending algorithm in there somewhere.

99% of the programming projects I see on github, reddit, HN, etc. are just programming tools for other programmers. "I made a data-processing library for the ButtFuck framework" "I made a fancy-pants syntax highlighter for Fartlang in vim" "I made a utility that tells you if your config file is blah blah blah" 10 billion stars on github with a bunch of badges and emojis of course. All this effort put into programmer tools and for what? So they can make more programming tools, I suppose?

The gods of programming have blessed mankind with the means of producing the most complex, ornate, beautiful machines they can dream of as a single individual without needing to worry about material or labor costs, safety or regulatory concerns, etc. and all programmers can imagine is "what if I made my shell a bit prettier." What a waste.

P.S. This is just me ranting, I know some people do make cool things, you're gonna have to just let me cook on this one

This is selection bias.

People open source things because they can't make a profit from them, because at least the attention is worth street cred.

You can't profit from making programmer tools, because programmers are already good at making tools for programmers, so you were never going to sell them anything. Thus all the programmer tools people make get open sourced in an attempt to salvage from street cred out of a non-monetizable project.
