Mental illness in its raw dog, rambling, least distilled form.
Good. Opt-out is authoritarian dogshit, and should be illegal.
It’s better to treat incompetence as maliciousness, than to treat maliciousness as incompetence.
The benefit of the doubt should only apply in the absence of a longstanding pattern of behavior to the contrary.
IMO Mozilla has run out of goodwill.
FYI ^ Sunny — I suggest you query your LAN routing config with Tailscale specific support, discord, forums, etc. I’m 99% certain you can fix your LAN access issues with little more than a reconfig.
vyatta and vyatta-based (edgerouter, etc) I would say are good enough for the average consumer.
WTF? What galaxy are you from? Literally zero average consumers use that. They use whatever router their ISP provides, is currently advertised on tech media, or is sold at retailers.
I’m not talking about budget routers. I’m talking about ALL software running on consumer routers. They’re all dogshit closed source burn and churn that barely receive security updates even while they’re still in production.
Also you don’t need port forwarding and ddns for internal routing. … At home, all traffic is routed locally
That is literally the recommended config for consumer Tailscale and any mesh VPN. Do you even know how they work? The “external dependency” you’re referring to — their servers — basically operate like DDNS, supplying the DNS/routing between mesh clients. Beyond that all comms are P2P, including LAN access.
Everything else you mention is useless because Tailscale, Nebula, etc all have open source server alternatives that are way more robust and foolproof to rolling your own VPS and wireguard mesh.
My argument is that “LAN access” — with all the “smart” devices and IoT surveillance capitalism spyware on it — is the weakest link, and relying on mesh VPN software to create a VLAN is significantly more secure than relying on open LAN access handled by consumer routers.
Just because you’re commenting on selfhosted, on lemmy, doesn’t mean you should recommend the most complex and convoluted approach, especially if you don’t even know how the underlying tech actually works.
What is the issue with the external dependency? I would argue that consumer routers have near universal shit security, networking is too complex for the average user, and there’s a greater risk opening up ports and provisioning your own VPN server (on consumer software/hardware). The port forwarding and DDNS are essentially “external dependencies”.
Mesh VPN clients are all open source. I believe Tailscale are currently implementing a feature where new devices can’t connect to your mesh without pre-approval from your own authorized devices, even if they pass external authentication and 2FA (removing the dependency on tailscale servers in granting authorization, post-authentication).
Not really. The problem with FOSS licensing is that it was too altruistic, with the belief that if enough users and corporations depended on the code, the community would collectively do the work necessary to maintain the project. Instead, capitalism chose to exploit FOSS as free labor most of the time, without any reciprocal investment. They raise an enormous amount of issues, and consume a large amount of FOSS developer time, without paying their own staff to fix the bugs they need resolved — in the software their products depend on. At that point the FOSS developer is no longer a FOSS developer, and instead is the unpaid slave labor of a corporation. Sure, FOSS devs could just ignore external inputs, but that’s not easy to do when you’ve invested years of your life in a project. Exploiting kindness may be legal, but it should never be justified or tolerated.
Sure, FOSS licenses legally permit that kind of use, but just because homeless shelters allow anyone to eat their food, and sleep in their beds, that doesn’t make the rich man who exploits that charity ethically or morally justified. The rich man who exploits that charity (i.e. free labor), and offers nothing in return, is a scummy dog cunt; there are no two ways about it. The presence of lecherous parasites can destroy the entire charity; they can mean the difference between sustainability and burnout.
FOSS should always be free for all personal, free, and non profit use, but once someone in the chain starts depending on FOSS to generate income and profit, some of that profit should always be reinvested in those dependencies. That’s what FOSS is now learning; to reject the exploitation and greed of lecherous parasites.
Didn’t they suspend, or greatly hinder, that recently?
I believe this is what some compression algorithms do if you were to compress the similar photos into a single archive. It sounds like that’s what you want (e.g. archive each day), for immich to cache the thumbnails, and only decompress them if you view the full resolution. Maybe test some algorithms like zstd against a group of similar photos vs individually?
FYI file system deduplication works based on file content hash. Only exact 1:1 binary content duplicates share the same hash.
Also, modern image and video encoding algorithms are already the most heavily optimized that computer scientists can currently achieve with consumer hardware, which is why compressing a jpg or mp4 offers negligible savings, and sometimes even increases the file size.
The problem is a lack of emphasis. Apple routinely completely ignores basic features and UXD in their apps, for years. If you don’t want to use an app in the exact rigid structure they want you to, you’re gonna have a bad time.
That’s why I only use a handful of Apple apps — the apps that have no possibility of vendor lock-in, and can be instantly replaced on any other OS (e.g. calculator — which also fuckin sucks for anything beyond basic arithmetic).
The problem is that they auto-opted all users into it, without giving notice or warning about what it is. They’ve done this before too with other “experiments”. The problem is that Mozilla becoming an ad oriented business is bad for user privacy. No different to Apple’s shift from hardware to services. The fox is infiltrating the hen house. Line must go up, and the users always pay the price for that with their data.
Turns out a user base who hates ad tech and surveillance capitalism doesn’t want ad-tech or surveillance embedded in their browser. Who would’ve thought?
This is the most dystopian shit I’ve heard recently — capitalists directly colluding as a functional monopoly to suppress your wages for your entire life.
A bunch of Firefox devs need to leave Mozilla, fork it and start up an actual non-profit not based around monetization. I would happily donate monthly if I knew it were going to Firefox development, instead of the dozen other things Mozilla spends its money on. I’m sure I’m not alone.
However, when it comes to any proprietary hardware/software the solution is simple. All companies should be required by law to open source all software and drivers, regardless of age, when the discontinued support; including server side code if the product is dependent on one (massive for gaming).
Try the user agent switcher add-on. The volume of times I’ve changed my agent to chrome and had a site work perfectly is infuriating.
Bollocks
Definitely. The people in that clip had no idea millions of people would see that video. Apart from funniest home video shows, there was no concept of home movies going viral.
Nowadays anyone filming that shit is an in-genuine influencer and it’ll be uploaded to ((mass surveillance tech company)) if it’s not live-streamed.

Yep. What is the likelihood of coincidence when 1) Google’s just released manifest V3 2) is cracking down hard on ad blocking 3) is failing hard at being more than a nuisance to ad block users and 4) Mozilla is attacking its most widely used 3rd party feature; the core feature of Google’s scorn.
This is why I don’t donate money to Firefox. Mozilla, the for-profit corporation, should not exist. It’s a parasitic entity that has no value, need, or right to exist. Users should be able to donate to Firefox and vote on specific features, without Mozilla swinging its dick around and ass blasting us all. If donations were transparent and accountable, I’d donate hundreds of dollars a year, for the rest of my life. Because of Mozillas continuous ratfuckery, they get nothing from me. I wonder how true that is for the majority of its user base.
