This one has native onion rotation and no need to host a server (it uses a simpler message queuing, might be less efficient when both parties are often offline). Also SimpleX is not designed to run over TOR if I remember correctly (more complexity).

yes HDR is here!

I’ve been using a raid1 btrfs pool to store offline backups for around 10 years. It’s 4 rotating drives (2x4TB+2x12TB). I replaced / rebalanced 3 disks with larger / newer ones already (went fine). I identified a bad usb/sata controller, and lots of bitrots on one old disk (scrub was able to correct a few thousands errors).

I’m getting around 80MB/s read/write throughput (not great but OK for offline backup). I’m able to mount it on low-powered / low-memory devices (not the case for ZFS). Scrub takes around 2 days IIRC (for around 10TB of actual data), so I run it once a year.

I keep it simple and thus am not using advanced features (dedup / encryption / snapshots / subvolumes / raid5/6/10). So far its a good match for my needs.

Hi, what’s wrong with Briar?

It’s not clear to my why you absolutely don’t wan’t to expose your home port.

From a security standpoint, you are still exposing your services to the public anyway (only the TCP stack is not, which is likely the smallest attack surface).

If you had a simpler reverse-proxy VPS, it would still hide your home server IP from clients. Your ISP would still only see encrypted traffic (https). Since you use adguard already, you can target dns-over-https upstreams to hide all DNS traffic too (eventually have a firewall rule to block outgoing dns queries if you don’t trust your application).

You could host a Tor relay node (or an i2p node). These networks need crowd and bandwidth.

Hi, it looks great, any plan to have a web UI or iphone version? (on Altstore maybe…)

It doesn’t support tags / filtering, so it’s pretty lame. I heard they actually removed this feature to push users towards icloud.

Looks very similar to Plume, the “no DB required” is neat though!

Yes, so now when there’s a success, it gets attributed to AI. When there’s an outage, that’s the fault of humans not reviewing correctly. These senior engineers will get fucked in all scenarios.

It still works but sadly it got the “no sim card” syndrome, so no longer a daily phone option…

I feel my old n900 will remain the only one I ever had…

Regarding Google, looks like it’s in the pipe yes, Fushia is non-GPL (permissive licenses, so no redistribution clause in case of a sudden licensing switch).

Code signing for EXE is already a thing. And @[email protected] is right, the same thing is happening there. Restrictions are getting more inconvenient, with Microsoft now talking about a maximum code signing certificates validity of 72 hours, with identity verification getting more strict too. Valid code signing certificates are not mandatory yet but I guess it’s a matter of time before we need to type powershell commands to disable restrictions.

When I tried Bookwirm (a while ago), it didn’t look like there was any kind of metadata sharing between instances. Each book was present on each library, thus destroying the user experience (per-instance ratings and reviews for a single book).

Agree, very lightweight, simple once-and-forget setup.

I use Signal, but I’m unable to force everybody to do the same.

Any chance to use Whatsapp on /e/ ?
