I still recall all the complaints when Origin was first released. People simply don’t like change

They’re busy reposting a chain letter on Facebook that claims to exempt them from an upcoming T&Cs change

Give AirVPN a chance. The website looks terrible but it’s a great service and port forwarding is far simpler than Proton’s weird solution

It was far more then one complement. After the drama stirred the CEO started posting a bunch of official statements justifying his words in the reddit thread. Then kept editing and rewording them in response to the negative feedback. It was entirely unnecessary

Somebody had posted the link elsewhere in this thread. I’d been mistakenly searching u/ProtonSupportTeam for the offending comments rather than u/ProtonTeam

https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1i1zjgn/comment/m7ahrlm

Here’s the r/privacy thread which summarised all the drama, including pointing out all the comments Proton mods were deleting and censoring in their own sub. Then true to form the r/privacy mods deleted the thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1i210jg/protonmail_supporting_the_party_that_killed/

Does anyone have links to the dumpster fire of a reddit thread in one or the Proton subs? There was also one of r/privacy but I can’t find either so suspect they’ve been deleted to try to quell the flames.

It was very entertaining drama

Tbh it was probably a criticism of capitalism more than the public or private sectors. Why consider the long term when you could just cut costs to inflate short term profitability.

I dunno. The proactive approach you’re describing doesn’t sound very public sector. Why invest money in something when you could just ignore the issue, cross your fingers and hope it happens to someone else, not you.

Code is overwhelming. Even experienced professionals hate diving in to somebody else’s code. It’s scary, poorly documented and we always think we could have done it better.

Don’t let that put you off.

A lot of us are practical learners. So like you we stare at a wall of code but struggle to comprehend it. But if you dive in and start editing, experimenting etc you’ll change the output and understand why it was written in a certain way.

Eventually once you’ve got it sussed you’ll be able to adapt a script to do what you want it. That’ll trigger the dopamine reward mechanism and you’ll be hooked like the rest of us.

Do the other students feel the same way? It might be worth starting a study group amongst your peers to help one another out.

Have you reached out to your teacher? they should be able to either help you catch up or steer you towards resources that better suit your pace/ learning style.

Wouldn’t that just be a time based notification rather then dependent on any privacy invading metrics?

For an internal project that’s fine, and under semantic versioning you can basically break anything you like before v1.0.0 so it’s probably valid

Date based version numbers is just lazy. There’s nothing more significant about a release in two weeks (2025.x.y) than today (2024.x.y).

At least with pride versioning there’s some logic to it.

How does migrating go codeberg solve the issue of false star ratings?

I think is the logic used for Linux kernel versioning so you’re in good company.

But everyone should really follow semantic versioning. It makes life so much easier.

Written in bash?! Superb effort but I can’t help wondering why you’d choose bash?

Which everyone will ignore.

Caddy with the cloudflare module makes TLS with DNS verification insanely simple

Do websites come under the remit of self hosting?

Personally I host static websites with GitHub, cloudfront, netlify, onrender etc. Trivial to setup, more reliable and better cdn distribution. Anything dynamic lives in a data center rather than a self host setup.

Fair, but you were asking how people approach security for self hosted solutions and I guess I’m challenging why anything needs to be public. Self hosting is typically for your own services which can usually be hidden behind a VPN.

The exception I guess is email, but I never understand why people attempt self hosted mail servers
