For one thing, it still has the option for an additional fingerprint lock to open the app.
Sure, my phone itself is locked anyway, usually.
I still like having the second lock built into the app itself for the odd time (however rare) that I hand my unlocked phone to someone.
I know they’re not snooping into my signal messages while I blink or misclick on a notification or whatever.

It may not be a big deal for some/most but I like that feature and I can’t imagine that’s something that needs much upkeep once initially implemented.

I’m sure it’s not the only feature, but it’s one I use often.

Signal (but actually Molly)

My customer decided to host their shit there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh yeah, I’ve seen the guillotines being censored in some places. /eyeroll I don’t get it, there’s no corporate overlord to appease here, no advertisers, no IPO.

I’d argue for content removal if you were to post specific plans to take specific violent action.
Mostly because it’d be utterly dumb to plan something high profile on a public forum.
By all means, do so on something actually private and secure that won’t result in either of our doors being busted down.

Realistically, not really.
To be honest, these days, most bans are for obvious spam, *phobes or the occasional CSAM.

Just don’t post dentist adspam (which is oddly common) or be that one person who posts their cartoony-kiddie-diaper-fetish thing.

Assuming that’s the 2 recently removed posts in the modlog, I’ll check if I can see what happened to those reports.

The post themselves were to our “test” community and first seemed to me like they were just random strings, but from the context I’m reading they might have been part of some onion link?

SJW doesn’t ban email domains, IPs nor VPNs.

To my knowledge, we’ve alsp never shared specific details about users with dotworld or other instances for that matter.
I myself would take offense about leaking any of this info.

The only thing I can even think of is we might have shared something like this once or twice during bigger spam attacks:

this last wave of spammer were all made in the last hour and fit the following pattern “5 letters, 5 numbers @ sketchy domain dot com” without sharing actual user info.

Edit:
I don’t know about dotworld, but at least on our end, there’s only TheDude and me who even have access to see a user’s email address.
The only other times we’ve really even checked one was before 2FA & password reset worked properly.

We even have users who didn’t want to provide an email at all which we’ve verified manually through matrix.

My OG Steam controller is still kicking.
I use it in desktop mode more than anything these days

Well damn

Yea, I was referring to the OSI model.

A single misconfigured thing can suck real bad as you’ve seen.
Selfhosting involves lots of things that can be misconfigured or go bad.

That’s not to scare you out of it out anything, merely to congratulate you in seeking knowledge first.

Disclaimer: I’m biased towards networks because I’m a network engineer, opinions may differ.

I would say… having at least a vague grasp of layers 1-4 of the traditional network model is a decent start.
You don’t need to understand everything, but knowing a minimum will help a lot imho.

It’s hard to point you in the right direction without knowing what you already know or not.

It’s also bullshit, because Windows 10 LTSC IoT is supported through 2032 or something.

Yes, you can change app icons to anything you like, including another installed app or custom images.

I’ve switched to… hyperion…? a while back.
I did like Nova a lot, and used that pretty exclusively for much longer, but switched when it got bought.

Honestly, I’d just use whatever the ISP provides.
Sure, it’s not open source and it kinda sucks… But I mean, if you don’t trust the ISP modem, you can’t trust the rest of their infrastructure either anyway, so it’s kinda moot.
At least that way you have a vague chance of having a modicum of support when shit breaks.

If it can’t be put into bridge mode, it probably has some sort of DMZ function where it basically does port forwarding for any/all possible ports.
Double NAT isn’t as bad as it sounds these days.

Now to your question…
They exist, they’re mostly targeted at ISPs though, so might be a harder find than other things.
They might also be older, as basically all customers also want their ISP to provide Wi-Fi, which a bridge modem won’t.
Anyway,
You’ll have to know what DSL were talking about, there’s… ADSL, ADSL2+, VDSL, VDSL2, etc

One old-ass model we used to use back in the day was… a Siemens 5200, but that’s ADSL2 at best, definitely not VDSL.

For Karl?

What they mean is they don’t have to do layoffs to please some publisher’s exec, they have the luxury of doing these things for their own greed.

“We don’t have to (but we do anyway)”

I’ve not had good luck finding something that gives me the confidence to go about it

Now’s a good time to make sure you have good backups.
Knowing you can fallback to your backups helps a lot with confidence.

One this that’s really hard to replace is DDoS protection.

The community is also hosted on lemm.ee which will shutdown, you’ll have to recreate the community on another instance.
I think piefed has a community migration feature but I have no experience with it.
