Are all their apps/backend open source? They have a github repo but it’s not very clear what’s open source or if its partial open source or what. I think it’s just their mail app and windows desktop app.
If that is this case, they’re asking their users to have a lot of trust in them.
I self host Ampache and have Sublime Music on my desktop and Substreamer on my Android device.
That was a bit halfhearted. You didn’t use the phrase ‘hive mind’ or anything.
OK, so you can login anonymously. Great.
The real question is; why would you want to, given that the dead bird site is a cesspool of extreme rightwing awfulness? What are you hoping to learn or take from being on there?
A few months ago. They said that hosting companies and other providers were refusing to work with them if they continued with it as a feature.
It’s just too easy to abuse by bad people using it to host very questionable content. Lots of people then moved to ivpn and then they removed it too, for the same reasons.
100% with AdBlock and LocalCDN on LibreWolf.
I did once, but after the crypto thing, then the trying to sell rights to other people’s content, then finding out how awful Eich is, it’s a ‘no’.
Their apps are E2EE.
Shit. Missed that, sorry.
Maybe give Seafile a try?
Open source, you can selfhost, has clients for Linux/Win/Mac and Android/iOS and best of all - encryption that actually works.
Gimmie some sugar baby.
I have Conky on my desktop and do a curl to a known page on my server to monitor if a web service is up every 60 seconds. If it’s down, I swap to a blinking animated gif as an icon and play an alert sound.
I’m not basing my opinion on your point of view. I’m basing it on the opinion that any organisation that makes claims about strong privacy but doesn’t allow people to check their work is essentially saying ‘just trust me bro’.
No open source clients means we just have to trust all that stuff about the apps/networks privacy. That’s an odd choice for an org who claim to be dedicated to privacy, so it’s a ‘thanks but no thanks’ from me.
No doubt, but he’s very likely going to be the next PM. Even if the current proposed legislation doesn’t get through the Lords or get scrapped or not implemented before the Tories get booted out, he clearly sees this sort of bill as a good thing and will introduce his own.
It’s not just the Tories, Keir Starmer has already tried to get VPN’s included in the bill. Don’t kid yourself its going to be any better when Labour get in.
Apple, SIgnal, Session, WhatsApp and a few others have already said they’ll simply withdraw from the UK market if this bill goes through.
Big fan of Gogs personally. Simple, light and a doddle to install.
Might be worth remembering here that Lemmy instances, including .world are hosted by regular people. Not massive multinational companies worth billions who can engage the best legal talent around.
If Hollywood comes after a Lemmy instance, Holywood have a huge legal team and endless money. The Lemmy instance has some guy. They could quite literally destroy a persons life. With that in mind, I don’t blame any instance owners for erring on the side of taking a stance that won’t put them in the legal firing line.
