Wow, they sure turned things around since their CEO allegedly last locked employees in their office so they'd be forced to keep working through the night.

#113Why not use Deno instead of Node.js for the backend? For a product like this could the extra security that Deno's sandbox provides help?
You could also just run the node.js process via a `systemd` service and sandbox it that way using hardening directives.

The history of the development since its beginning can help a lot in studying the code, so I encourage people to avoid the single commit as much as possible. It's much better to refactor (rebase) the messy commits, removing the personal or embarrassing stuff; although that might result in a "false" history, a series of smaller-sized commits will usually be much easier to follow than reading a whole code base all at o…
I promise you're not missing much, except some commits that are implementing something, reverting it, implementing it again slightly differently, fixing typos, replacing 80% of the codebase in one swoop and similar stupid and un-needed stuff. If the project is from the get-go supposed to be a long-lived project (like professional development for a business) then I agree, don't smoke the entire history no matter how e…
Why do you think it's embarassing? The result is what reasonable people judge. And if you get to it through trial and error, well, that's how it's done almost everytime. It's normal

I don't? I said I remove it because it isn't useful to anyone, might even be adding more confusion than it solves, not because I'm embarrassed over anything.

#116There's also https://cryptpad.fr/ - https://cryptpad.org/ - https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad
That looks great, thanks for sharing.
I would add to that list something like a splitwise alternative.
And open source too? Seems too good to be true.

An SCP or FTP client maybe?
Definity. Though SAMBA supports authentication natively. With SCP and sFTP you'll need another admin server to create users.
With SAMBA you just get boring old authentication, but with SCP you need to file a Form-72B with Site Command, ensure all new users pass a Class-3 memetic hazard screening, and then hope that the account doesn't escape containment and start replicating across subnets.
Sure, it's more overhead, but you can't put a price on preventing your NAS from developing sentience.

In European nations who aren't English-first-language it's quite widespread around university students and people that outgrown Whatsapp, it isn't very much different than using a Discord groupchat (and you lose less important stuff in Telegram). Admittedly a bit is for network effect around "grindset" jocks but it isn't very much different than using discord or Meta messenger or Slack, just a freemium SaaS that the…
It's not so much about security, as FOSS conversation groups would be open to anyone anyway, but it's not a good look for a project to use a tool that is known to be quite shady while there are FOSS tools, or simply tools with a better reputation. Also the project group seems to be french, not english-first-language, and Telegram is absolutely not well seen in France, not used by much more than a few percent
How is it shady?
It beats WA on UI in most cases (especially on desktop), has open source client, much better groups/channels for one-to-many, many-to-many communications. Has bots support like I never seen on WA.

Is this a joke? There's lots more to hosting your own file share/sync tool than just standing it up.
No, it was serious! He complained about the difficulty of installing an application. He didn’t complain about establishing a personal data center. That one line will give you the Nextcloud. Exactly one more line in snap will give you a self sign cert. Alternatively, the line below will give you remote access, a domain, and a valid certificate for your application: curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh You…
It seems reasonable that someone would want to go beyond just installing software; they are presumably doing so in order to use it for its purpose. Being pedantic about the nature of the complaint (i.e. "He complained about the difficulty of installing an application. He didn’t complain about...") seems to miss the point. All of the additional steps you lay out also have their own steps to get done or decisions to be made, and when it is all said and done, it seems reasonable to imagine that things could get quite complicated.
