I received all the credentials and a while ago I checked the hosting, the websites (because there two...) and the domains. It is all very chaotic and was done by non-tech folks, which is fine. It just needs cleaning up (domains + hosting). The website itself should be done from scratch. Currently the dojo has two live websites. A v1 which is from a jurassic age without responsive styles, and a v2 which is only halfway-done and stuck in a walled-garden called #Squarespace (which is charging more than 240β¬ per year lol). The v1 website is hosted by #1blu who is also charging insane hosting prices (about 180β¬ per year) I spent some time thinking and decided to go with Astro SSG for the new Karate Dojo website π€ hosting will be done through Forgejo Pages and at a later point in time I want to implement Decap CMS which will run through Forgejo runners π€ The new website will also have a Nextcloud calendar and a Mastodon feed. π€ The idea is that money will only be spent for domains since hosting static websites is free (as it should be in today's day and age!) Killing off the old websites will be an annual saving of more than 400β¬ Let's see how it goes. Squarespace renewal is set for November, so that will be the deadline βπ½ npub1le2zm87hgfvcr7gan70zd2n45w4utuh5qrcpy7gk0w84ff9g36yq9psjy4 Nikhil π§ #AuroraStore tip for #grapheneOS users: Set up opening Playstore links with Aurora Store by default ππ½ -> Settings -> Search settings: type 'open' -> Choose 'opening links' -> Aurora Store -> Add link -> tap checkboxes and confirm This can help when a certain app can't be found through Aurora Store's own search, but can be found on the Webbrowser. Note, these links might be disabled if another app, like PlayStore itself, is currently handling them. In that case, they have to be removed from the Playstore app first ππ½ https://cdn.social.linux.pizza/system/media_attachments/files/116/571/929/872/160/974/original/b060d7ad76babfac.png https://cdn.social.linux.pizza/system/media_attachments/files/116/571/930/266/598/891/original/f204f62edc272956.png https://cdn.social.linux.pizza/system/media_attachments/files/116/571/930/539/977/257/original/fbdb984940f0b017.png https://cdn.social.linux.pizza/system/media_attachments/files/116/571/930/805/758/909/original/99d6510c3b2c6a3d.png npub1le2zm87hgfvcr7gan70zd2n45w4utuh5qrcpy7gk0w84ff9g36yq9psjy4 Nikhil π§ First world problems: how to donate to #signal and have the badge on my profile (which requires Signal app), BUT use the #Molly app instead? πππ I just now noticed that my Signal donations stopped at some point last year after I had switched to Molly π I didn't notice before because the Molly app shows the badge for me but others don't see the badge.

I prefer the old school life without any of the nonsense, that you describe as "magic" (because it really isn't. Every magic is underneath just a system that is fed with data and produces output). npub1le2zm87hgfvcr7gan70zd2n45w4utuh5qrcpy7gk0w84ff9g36yq9psjy4 Nikhil π§ I just now replaced #OrganicMaps with #CoMaps I exported all the bookmark-lists as .kmz files and opened each one of them with CoMaps. No issues, all the bookmarks are there. Then I enabled automatic backups, weekly, keeping 3 versions ππ½ This was very smooth π #Android #FOSS npub1le2zm87hgfvcr7gan70zd2n45w4utuh5qrcpy7gk0w84ff9g36yq9psjy4 Nikhil π§ today I'll probably listen to the #Euphoria OST all day in loop π why is this one of the best shows of all time? π₯Ή I'm only 2 episodes into S3 and so far I don't mind any of the changes in direction. I actually find it refreshing and very entertaining! Also I finished a rewatch of S1 and S2 over the last couple of weeks... by now I've seen S1 three times! It is just soooooooooooooo gooooooooooood π I'll probably be rewatching this every other year for the rest of my life because the cinematography is just maxxed out. Watching the scenes unfold is just pure bliss. And don't get me started on the character writing. I love each and every character on this show!

(I had bought the tickets more than a month in advance) It was an unforgettable cinema experience ππ½ The movie is brilliant, no doubt about that. But it is always more special, better and bigger when its a special event and it becomes a shared experience among people who have all gathered for the same reason. Everyone is fuelled by hype and to experience and enjoy it the same way. What an energy!

Currently I use these services provided by Proton: - email - VPN - Password-manager - Their cute little AI chatbot π
Why am I using proton? When I degoogled in 2023, the combo of Proton + Nextcloud was a very easy route to quickly get out of the Google Ecosystem. Since I have already migrated once, I don't feel like this is going to be a huge deal. What I basically have to do: find alternative services, set them up, flip the switch. VPN is easy -> #mullvad π€© Passwordmanager is an interesting part: I plan to use #keepassxc in combination with #syncthing. Ideally my phone and laptop will sync the vault, and my laptop will also create a synced backup with Nextcloud. One thing I started using excessively over the last 2 years is the aliases feature of #protonpass . Not sure how I will untangle that π
I really like the idea to have throwaway-email addresses for different websites and being able to answer incoming mails without leaking my real email address. the email inbox itself will be a process over months but I already migrated away from gmail and I know the process and this time it doesn't feel daunting at all. My way of migrating email is updating the mail address on a handful of services every now and then, use both email inboxes for a while and after a couple of months I should know if everything has been migrated. Ah lets see where it goes π Step one, as usual: familiarizing myself and gathering information. I'm checking out Keepass now π #protonmail #protonvpn #passwordmanager #foss #degoogle npub1le2zm87hgfvcr7gan70zd2n45w4utuh5qrcpy7gk0w84ff9g36yq9psjy4 Nikhil π§ When enjoying the view from a vantage point: What normies see Vs What I see (nerd vision activated) #flightradar24 #shitpost https://cdn.social.linux.pizza/system/media_attachments/files/116/384/445/440/874/719/original/bf915163a9e27efa.jpg https://cdn.social.linux.pizza/system/media_attachments/files/116/384/446/596/182/655/original/480d25d3bf498c3f.png npub1le2zm87hgfvcr7gan70zd2n45w4utuh5qrcpy7gk0w84ff9g36yq9psjy4 Nikhil π§ telegram and instagramm as main information sources for an event that is about anti big tech.

I need a reliable two way sync and since nextcloud doesn't offer a working solution as of now (check issue no. 19 on their github lol) I was thinking about this setup where I use a #raspberryPi as a middle man and wireguard on Android, so they're in the same network anyways: Nextcloud (on the web) <> Raspberry pi (running nextcloud client software) Raspberry pi <> Android Both the pi and the android would run #syncthing.

My focus is on security, but I'm not an expert on this. Right now, what I have done is, I set up pivpn with a firewall that exposes only the jellyfin ip/port, so that other stuff on my network isn't available to connected users. However, their whole internet traffic would go through my network now (if not split-tunneled), unless I restrict internet access, which would also be a dick move of me to people who forget to switch off the VPN π I was now thinking about setting up a reverse proxy, instead of this whole VPN idea. How is the security when I'm using a dynamic DNS, that points to my home-network, where I'm using a reverse proxy to catch the requests and expose only jellyfin? How is the security level of a reverse proxy vs vpn?
