Still don’t understand why they cut the fleeb.

I don’t think you fully comprehend just how many footprints people leave behind on the internet. Users would have to practice perfect opsec – and I mean completely, absolutely perfect. One mistake, like using an e-mail address or an alias off-site, will link a person to the account. If that person cracks under legal threats, the entire operation is fucked. It’s happened before.

Thinking you can solve the issue of privacy with a single idea is simply delusional.

Have you heard of surveillance cameras and facial recognition? If a hostile actor knows in advance that members of a targeted online community will be physically present at a location at a given time, those people will be linked to the community. It doesn’t take a lot from then to link specific persons to accounts.

Besides, libraries are having a hard enough time just existing in America. They don’t need the burden of protecting the identities of dozens of people and fighting off lawyers and enforcers.

Something’s not right. There shouldn’t be a deck-tailscale.sh file. There’s supposed to be a directory named deck-tailscale and a tailscale.sh and some other files inside it.

Here’s what you do. First, open a terminal like Konsole. Just run the application, don’t open it from the file manager. Then run these commands:

git clone https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale
cd deck-tailscale
sudo bash tailscale.sh

You should see “Getting version…” right after running the script. Did you cd into the directory where the repository was cloned?

Program no worky will not be enough if you want help. What is the exact output when you try to run tailscale.sh?

The problem is that your phone’s hotspot network doesn’t advertise routes through the Tailscale tunnel, and the deck doesn’t know where it’s supposed to send the traffic. I don’t know how/if it can be done.

Try this guide on the deck: https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale

Managing Wireguard is just one of Tailscale’s features.

It uses some UDP black magic fuckery to get through NAT and firewalls without having to open ports on the edge. Very useful if you’re behind CGNAT and/or your ISP is a dickhead and locks down the firewall on your router (this is why I use it; eat a dick, Vodafone). If the UDP fuckery is not available, it reverts to simple relay servers. The client can also advertise subnets and route to hosts on it. You could install the Tailscale client on OPNSense/pfSense/OpenWRT and access your entire home network through that one device.

And why, pray tell, do you need Mullvad to do it? I want to know why you think that.

I’ve made that exact comparison before. TLS uses encryption; ransomware also uses encryption; by their logic, serving web content through HTTPS with no way to bypass it is a form of malware. The same goes for injecting their donation banner using an iframe.

But don’t you know that Anubis is MALWARE?

…according to some of the clowns at the FSF, which is definitely one of the opinions to have. https://www.fsf.org/blogs/sysadmin/our-small-team-vs-millions-of-bots

My immediate thought is a cron job that tests the user account’s last login time and fires a script if it is exceeded.

You can use basically any HTTP server to achieve that, like Apache or Nginx. If the directory (specified by the path in the URL) doesn’t contain a file that matches the default file in the config (index.html and such), the server will list the directory contents instead.

Extrapolate from the context. I’m tired of explaining obvious things to unreceptive people.

The discourse goes to the same fucking place every time Felix is mentioned. People don’t deserve the benefit of doubt.

I seriously doubt that anyone who asks that question doesn’t already have a foregone conclusion, but fine, I’ll indulge you.

Probably not. If he was, and had been hiding it his entire life, even in the era when he was the youtube star and had zero restraint, why would he slip up those few times, and especially such highly public ways?

He did and said some shit in his early 20s, and he deserved the criticism at the time, but those incidents weren’t repeated and weren’t part of a pattern. He wasn’t the paragon of virtue and maturity, but I’m willing to bet my left nut that neither are the people who are lining up to crucify him, and the only difference is that he had an audience. The people who aren’t willing to let go of their prejudices after a decade are equally as immature.

Do you want to continue posturing and fishing for confirmation from other edgy teenage minds, or do you want the answer?

I’m sure all the reactions will be nothing but respectful and factual, and not riddled with festering teenage emotions.

I love that entrepreneurial attitude. If an online service is unsatisfactory, just develop your own software from the ground up and provision the infrastructure from your pocket. Car industry sucks? Just build your own car! GPU prices high? Grab a soldering iron and a handful of sand, how hard could it be?

Things are always more complex than they appear. The whole point of services like Youtube and Patreon is to offload that complexity onto the provider in exchange for a fee (or some other form of compensation) from the user. Just look at how many early Lemmy instances have gone offline because of the overwhelming financial or administrative burden. Hate the companies all you like, and by all means look for independent solutions, but don’t pretend they offer no value whatsoever.

What if you try reaching it through your public IP?
