Bitcoin devs scramble to protect $2.2tn blockchain from looming quantum computer threat
  • At the current rate of development, quantum computers could start threatening Bitcoin within five to 10 years

    Ahh yes, "scrambling" to meet this urgent deadline.

  • With the recent happenings with Synology/Plex, I’ve decided it’s time to make the move and up my self-hosting game, just need some input from the veterans to solidify my plan and put it into action.
  • The thing Synology does which no competitor is yet doing is rock-solid stability.

    I have a 10 year old Synology running as well as it did the day I bought it, and I've never needed to troubleshoot a single issue on it.

    Until a competitor can match that I will still be buying Synology, with the increased drive price the cost I pay for that stability.

    I think people underestimate the value of that.

  • Best tool for creating a basic business website
  • There are a lot of backend processes for those sites which need a server, so that wouldn't work, but thank you regardless.

  • Best tool for creating a basic business website
  • If you're doing static sites, then traffic shouldn't be a concern.

    I host two sites that each get more than 2 million hits a month, and I run them from a $0.10 cent Scaleway server.

    Cloudflare in front of the sites takes most of the load.

  • Is your phone secretly listening to you? Here's an easy way to find out
  • How can you be sure that the "random" products aren't something that you've seen ads on (but not remembered seeing), which stuck in your subconscious, and then you regurgitated as the random item? Then later when you saw more of the same ads, you noticed them and they seemed like new, targeted ads.

    You would need to use a random topic generator, not just come up with them via brain.

  • Password manager - EU made
  • As someone posted above, someone obtaining access to your encrypted data might lead to an issue in the future:

  • smartphone app

    It's a PWA, just install the site on your phone as a native app. I've been using it for about a year.

  • Looks like a contributor was in a sanctioned region?

    Not according to that thread - it looks like they don't yet know what caused it:

    No any details from GitHub yet. One contributor mentioned a temporary visit to disputed areas a long time ago — GitHub probably just flagged the account, and their bots messed up after that.

  • Canada announces break with U.S. over Trump tariffs
  • I'm just glad a world leader is finally coming right out and saying it.

    We will need to dramatically reduce our reliance on the United States. We will need to pivot our trade relationships elsewhere. And we will need to do things previously thought impossible at speeds we haven’t seen in generations.

    This is some concrete and serious talk.

  • Do you need to use AI? Why not using European alternatives
  • If you find it let me know. But what they have works well for me and is craaazy cheap compared to a ChatGPT subscription, for example.

    I've been using it for weeks and have yet to hit 1 cent.

  • Scaleway is awesome using Open WebUI or directly through their own site:

  • Your guide to switching Search Engines and supporting smaller and more ethical companies!
  • Any suggestions which are good? I don't mind at all to pay.

  • I've replaced everything else, including migrating multiple services from AWS, DO, GCP to Scaleway, but Kagi is the only thing I haven't satisfactorily replaced.

    I'm using Ecosia as Qwant isn't available in my country, but it's just not the same. Something no one else seems to do is the domain rewriting, so that I can send Reddit links to Redlib, etc.

    I'm going to have to try SearXNG again.

  • Why buying from EU not from small businesses?
  • The thing people are wanting to accomplish is reduce the money flowing into the USA. So it doesn't matter if big or small. The businesses themselves aren't the problem, it's the economy receiving the funds at the end of the day.

  • How to have a boring and low-maintenance system?
  • It's just Fedora CoreOS with some small quality-of-life packages added to the build.

    There's tons of documentation for CoreOS and it's been around for more than a decade.

    If you're running a container workload, it can't be beat in my opinion. All the security and configuration issues are handled for you, which is especially ideal for a home user who is generally not a security expert.

  • How to have a boring and low-maintenance system?
  • It's just Fedora CoreOS with some QoL packages added at build time. Not niche at all. The very minor changes made are all transparent on GitHub.

    Choose CoreOS if you prefer, it's equally zero maintenance.

  • How to have a boring and low-maintenance system?
  • 🤷 I've been running Aurora and uCore for over a year and have yet to do any maintenance.

    You can roll back to the previous working build by simply restarting, it's pretty much the easiest fix ever and still zero maintenance (since you didn't have to reconfigure or troubleshoot anything, just restart).
