What always freaks me out is people considering their government worse than the likes of Meta, Palantir, Google, Microsoft... At least you can vote (hopefully) for a different government. The problem is when the companies are able to buy governments, like USA is.

    I started reading the full argument, and correct me if I am wrong, but don't they always start with a defendable idea and end up simply sounding crazy as hell when they start talking unrelated shit about other projects?

    Like, look at this: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/116200362765756182

    They are literally saying that their plan is to ban GrapheneOS. That's CRAZY, and obviously not true. It's basically paranoid. Which I guess fits 😅

    After all these things that are happening, if you still consider that anyone becoming a military slave to USA is a good idea... I don't know what to tell you.

    Those countries are already EU countries. Russia will not dare to touch them. And if they do, then being in or out of NATO would become the smallest of our problems at that point.

    Mind that I am very noob into self-hosting, reverse proxies and the like

    When I saw that Caddy automatically handled the HTTPS thingies I was like "this is my moment then to go into self-hosting". Caddy seemed so simple.

    Turns out... I am suddenly discovering that the connection between the caddy machine and the Home Assistant machine (both in the local network) is non-encrypted. So if another appliance in my local network went rogue... bum, all my info gets leaked... right?

    This might sound weird because it might actually be super-duper complicated but... how come in 2025 we still don't auto-encrypt local comms?

    Please be kind. Lot's of love. Hopefully I'll dig my way to self-hosting wisdom.

     

    The other day I switched Linux distros, wiped disk, and somehow realised that OMEMO is a weird freaky thing and now I cannot see any message from my computer, even though I have everything visible on my Conversations Android app.

    I don't want to get angry again, but... yeah, this is terrible, terrible UX. Seems like OMEMO somehow encrypts for each device differently, and now all messages are "locked". Which is weird, because messages are still there, just "locked".

    Can I somehow import a backup from my Android app? Is there anything that can be done? My guess is that, probably not, otherwise I would have gotten a popup or something in the login process, "would you like to sync your messages?", but nothing happened.

    XMPP supremacists, please! Give me a solution! I was organizing important projects with multiple people. Getting locked out of all that information is terrible.

    Otherwise, then I really feel I can see XMPP disappearing now... and for a very good reason.
