  • Okay, say that they have released an addon for Blender for modders. Because Blender is under the GNU GPL the addon they release has to be at the very least compatible with the GPL and therefor it should be Free Software. They wouldn't care. I mean if people can make mods, and improve the addon, it will be easier for them themselves to use it to make assets and everybody benefits. Typical "open source" mindset. And guess what? They did exactly this. Their Blender Addon is under a GPL compatible license ( MIT ). So okay, they at least developed one Free Software thing.

    But if you look into it more deeply you will find more interesting things. For example, there is a Free Software python API to drive a special variant of BeamNG called BeamNG Tech. Which is for professional use. Yeah, well... This python thing still requires the proprietary BeamNG tech to be installed. But still. Here is another technically Free Software thing that they developed.

    Then if you look even deeper, you will notice that they switched a game engine sometime in the early days of the game. First they used Cry Engine. Which is very proprietary and probably very costly. And then they chose to use a Free Software game engine called Torque 3D instead.

    So they are building the game with Free Software on a Free Software game engine for which they built Free Software tools. And yet the game is still proprietary. Even though, as I already said, it feels more like what a Free Software game feels, with community collaboration and an insane level of customize-ability.

    Applying this theory means , almost every software that has ever existed is free and open source.

  • The f-droid team goes through the source code and builds the app themselves before publishing. I think it's better to trust them. Obtanium is great, but only if the app is not on f-droid or f-droid is lagging behind updates.

  • That is not ideal, especially if you will be the only one using it. If you are using it alone, YouTube will still be able to profile you, as all the videos will be watched by a single server. It would be just like using YouTube.com with a VPN. If you are self-hosting and a few people will use it, YouTube won't be able to profile everyone, as it will think all the videos are being watched by a single person.

  • I use mailbox.org and I manage my own PGP keys. You can also encrypt your whole inbox with your key. To access your inbox, then, you will either have to use something like Thunderbird or give your private key to mailbox.org. And yes, I recommend using your own domain. Also, there is no free-tier.

  • About Incogni... To use their service you will have to give them a lot of your personal data which they will use to remove your data from other websites. But if you want to use their service you would need to trust them.

    Personally, I don't trust them and I think it is better to start adopting privacy friendly services right away and stop worrying about the data other companies already have on you. Prevent what you can from now on.

  • I understand that they are pro-developers, like, they only tale 15% of the sales etc. But why are they anti-consumers?

    I use Heroic Games Launcher on Nobara Linux and my experience is more seamless than buying and installing games from Steam. I don't have to bother with Epic Games Launcher, I just download a game and run via proton or wine.

    Suggestions? Games that won't make me feel alone?

    I need some suggestions on what to play. Single Player games only. Most of the games make me feel lonely and alone. In most of the games, the protagonist has to deal with the problems on their own, like Control, Crysis, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War (I liked the original 6 more than the new ones, even though the new ones had companions), horror games like Outlast, Echo and Alan Wake, and many others.

    I want something that won't give me anxiety. I really enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy, having those teammates by my side always made me feel "safe". I also liked Spider-Man and Deadpool because the humour makes me feel comfortable. In old Harry Potter games, Ron, Hermione and Harry were usually together, so, I never felt alone while playing those either. In Indika, that one hand man was with me for most of the game.

    Open world games also give me less anxiety, like most Assassin's Creed games, Ghost of Tsushima, Just Cause series, etc.

    I think you all get my point. So, what do you sugg

    This happens after 3-4 days of running the server, then I have to restart it manually.

    I bought an Optiplex 5040, with an i5-6500TE, and 8 GB DDR3L RAM.

    When I bought it, I installed Fedora Server on it. It got stuck every few days but I could never see the error. The services just stopped working, I couldn't ssh into it, and connecting it to a monitor showed a black screen.

    So, I thought let's install Ubuntu Server, maybe Fedora isn't compatible with all of its hardware. The same thing is happening, now, but I can see this error. Even when there's nothing installed on it, no containers, nothing other than base packages, this happens.

    I have updated the bios. I have tried setting nouveau.modeset=0 in the grub config file. I have tried disabling and enabling c-states. No luck till now.

    Would really appreciate if anyone helps me with this.

    I want to buy PineTime, but "Package cannot be shipped to your country due to logistical reasons."

    I live in India, how can get one? Any secure way of using a proxy address, which is also trusted.

    I really, really want a smart watch, but I do not want to buy a typical one, due to privacy reasons. I use Lineage OS. Do I have any other options? Like using a smart watch without connecting it to my phone or internet at all? Using Asteroid OS and Bangle.js isn't an option for me, I have tried a lot to find a compatible watch with no luck at all.

    Is an ARM mini PC with only 2GB RAM and 16GB storage worth buying?

    My current setup is an old MacBook woth 2 external HDDs, and I am almost happy with it, for now. I just saw this mini PC on Amazon and I am considering buying it, just to try out a new thing. I think it is cheap (~22 USD).

    What I am worried about is that this much memory and storage might make it almost unusable. I was thinking of hosting some minor services, like remark42, shynet or vaultwarden. What else do you think I can host? If my mind changes, I will also try it with a desktop environment and try to connect it to my 4K Android TV.

    I made this ToDo app, in Flutter, for Android and Linux

    This repo is also mirrored to Codeberg.

    I made an easy to use ToDo app, just to learn a bit about programming and Flutter. It does not really provide any benefits over other ToDo apps, but I am glad that I was able to make this.

    You can download the APK for Android, rpm for RHEL/Fedora or just use the AppImage.

    I am willing to work more on this, you can read the roadmap in the link provided.

    Any guidance, criticisms, or comments will be greatly appreciated.

    Not providing all features without JS is understandable, but this is just not fine.

    Even after enabling JS, all I saw waa a white/blank page. They probably want me to enable cookies and/or DOM storage.

    European porn is so much better than American Porn

    *I am not referring to solo OnlyFans models.

    I find almost every American porn video similar. They have a few plots which they keep repeating. 80℅ of those videos have similar looking women. I feel that they are not trying anything new. And personally, I do not find their accent as appealing as British accent.

    European porn industry, on the other hand, feels like they are taking more courageous decisions. German and Russian femdom videos are so much better. British teacher-student videos actually make you learn a new English word or two. I find Spanish and Italian women much more appealing. One thing I really like is that they include a variety of body types in their videos.

    This is just my take. I would really like to know what you all think.

    PS - I am an Indian, and I like Indian and Japanese porn videos more than European ones.

    Edit - How do I mark a post as NSFW on Voyager?

    Firefox not using IPv6 by default

    Websites like ipv6-test.com and test-ipv6.com say that my browser is using IPv4 by default.

    This happens on Firefox and LibreWolf. I have tried creating a new profile without add-ons as well. Ungoogled Chromium uses IPv6 by default. If I go to ifconfig.io using Firefox, IPv4 is displayed. But if I use Ungoogled Chromium, IPv6 is displayed.

    Is there a way to force IPv6?

    I am not bothered by this, but using tools like ping6 and traceroute6 assures me that IPv6 routing is faster for, at least, one of my ISPs.

    Cost-cutting tips?

    What are your favourite, or least favourite but necessary, cost-cutting methods?

    I feel I am spending too many resources on unnecessary stuff.

    Edit: I feel the need to reduce both – the resources, to host multiple things on one system, and cost, to buy/pay for multiple systems. Currently, I have 2 ARM VPSes and 1 old MacBook Air as a home server.

    Help me decide a font for my website

    Currently, I am using Montserrat. Even though it is licensed under Open License Font, I do not feel comfortable using it anymore, probably because it is used in over 17 million websites and is considered overused.

    Another reason is that I have to load multiple font weights, as bold tags do not work as intended. A single weight is over 20kb in size (after removing unused glyphs). I want to keep my site lightweight, and good looking.

    Also, after looking at motherfuckingwebsite.com and perfectmotherfuckingwebsite.com, I feel sad about loading any external fonts.

    I want a sans font, and I am also using -webkit-text-stroke with transparent fill to give some text outline effect.

    What are your suggestions, fellow lemmings? What is your favourite font? Should I just stick with Liberation Sans?

    Forward IP headers in HAProxy to get the real IP of the client

    TL;DR - option forwardfor and http-request set-header X-Real-IP %[src] are not working.

    My setup is slightly complicated. I have a homeserver, with HAProxy installed and some docker containers. My homeserver is, then, connected to a VPS via WireGuard which also has HAProxy installed. HAProxy on homeserver forwards the docker containers with an SSL certificate to the VPS. The VPS, then, just does TLS pass through to the clients.

    The issue is, if I do not use option forwardfor in either of the 2 HAProxy configurations, I get the internal IP address of the docker container (172.XX.XX.1). If I add option forwardfor on the homeserver's HAProxy config, I get the internal IP of the WireGuard of the home server (10.0.0.2). And if I add option forwardfor to the HAProxy config of the VPS as well, I get the internal IP of the WireGuard tunnel (10.0.0.1). And as far as I know, http-request set-header X-Real-IP %[src] has no impact. I have also tried using send-proxy and `send-p

    NGINX config for TLS passthrough with multiple services?

    I am trying to set up a reverse proxy server, with TLS passthrough.

    I am behind CGNAT, so I cannot forward any ports from my home server. So, my current workaround was that I connected my home server to a VPS via WireGuard and used Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) to proxy services running on different docker containers to the VPS, so that they are accessible publicly. But now I want to use TLS passthrough for better privacy. But I cannot find any guides for my case.

    I need help with 2 issues, basically. Let's take a look at my passthrough.conf file, which I have included in nginx.conf file.

     undefined
        
    stream {
        # Listen for incoming TLS connections on service1.domain.me
        server {
            listen 443;
            proxy_pass service1.domain.me;
            proxy_ssl on;
            proxy_ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
            proxy_ssl_name $ssl_preread_server_name;

    Ethical alternatives to advertisements for promoting a product or a service?

    We all hate ads, primarily because it is an unethical usage of our data for profits. So, if a person does not want to pay companies like Google, Meta and Microsoft, what alternatives are there to advertise or promote a product or service?

    Sure, there are options like posting on online forums, groups and email marketing, but the results do not come anywhere close when compared to paid ads. Are there privacy respecting companies that provides ad placement services? DuckDuckGo uses Microsoft ads, Mojeek didn't reply and Qwant isn't available in my country.

    Say, I provide a service to a specific type/group of people, what is the most efficient and ethical, and least annoying way to reach them? Say, I own a restaurant or something. How do I attract more customers? I am willing to pay, but to not data-hungry companies.

    Questions about TLS Passthrough.

    Hi. I have been into self-hosting for about 2 years, now. My current setup is that I have a home server and a VPS. My ISP does not let me forward any ports (I am behind CGNAT, I think), so, I have connected my home server to a VPS via a WireGuard tunnel and am using Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) to proxy the services hosted on my homeserver to the public.

    Now, the traffic that goes from my home server to the VPS and from VPS to the public are encrypted, but theoretically, the VPS provider can look at the data passing through, since this is technically TLS termination. Although, I trust my VPS provider more than I trust my ISP, I am thinking about setting up TLS passthrough, for additional privacy. But I have a few questions and I would be greatful if anyone can help me.

    1. Do I need to put the SSL certificates on my homeserver, or can they remain on the VPS if I have to set up TLS Passthrough?
    2. Is port forwarding required to set up TLS passthough?
    3. Does NPM support TLS passthrough,
