This year has been absolutely relentless. Got to be the worst year for privacy by far, and tech in general. Especially in the UK and especially these last few months. I will never forgive Labour for this. I know a lot of the legislation like the online safety act was passed by the previous Tory government but they were supposed to be an improvement, not come in and start immediately enforcing it to a greater extent than the Tories.
I don't think there's been a single week since the summer where I haven't seen something that's filled me with dread. I think it's actually making me sick at this point
Why has RAM suddenly got so expensive? We've been chasing this AI shit for the last 3/4 years and GPUs etc have been expensive the whole time, but somehow RAM has been ok until literally the last couple of weeks?
If you want to try it I think you should be able to do it With a Raspberry pi or equivalent on their network running Tailscale, use iptables to forward all inbound traffic on the Jellyfin port from that device to your Jellyfin server which is also running tailscale. Connect their Roku using the pi as the address for Jellyfin. I've not tried this with Jellyfin but I had something similar working with a Minecraft server
To affect the project as a whole? Probably not much short term. But they can make things difficult for French users by either banning the OS, or trying to ban bootloader unlocking in general. And sure it will be largely ineffective and difficult to enforce to start with, but it won't stop them trying like with all the age verification bullshit thats popped up everywhere recently. Longer term they can do what Denmark are doing with chat control and keep trying to make it EU law every couple of months until eventually it passes.
And they will get away with it because the average citizen doesn't care or even know. Most people don't even know that installing alternate OSes is possible, and of the ones that do many don't bother with it themselves. And as for an OS based around cyber security and privacy? For most people cyber security is just the thing that means their password has to be Password1! instead of password, and privacy is just something schizophrenics and criminals want.
I get what you're trying to say but this isn't happening in isolation, and ideas (good or bad) spread. "Just leave the country" works great until it's your country, or until there's nowhere else left to go.
Yes that was another thing I came across earlier, there seems to be more controversies around Owncloud than Nextcloud which kind of put me off considering how similar they seem to be anyway. And Opencloud is still a work in progress unless I was reading outdated information?
I hadn't considered OwnCloud because I thought it was pretty much the same as NextCloud but mainly aimed at enterprise. Does it have any advantages over Nextcloud?
I haven't got round to setting up https yet since I only access my server via my LAN or Tailscale. When I do get round to setting it up I might use a reverse proxy rather than configuring it for every service. I also need to work out how to do automatic certificate renewal and if that's even worth doing, so I don't want to be forced into half-assing it for Nextcloud before I'm ready to do it properly. With Nextcloud specifically I also don't like the fact that you can't change the domain after the initial setup, using the community edition via http seems to get round that problem as well
As long as they can still access TikTok and Instagram they probably won't even care
