What is your base system in your home server?

MicroOS with Podman seems amazing! You can enable automatic updates for both the server and pods/containers

Something you can do easily on any OS. Auto-updates are easy. What’s more work is implementing secure automatic decryption of user data during boot with attestation or something like clevis/tang.

Podman containers are rootless so way less attack surface

Which tv's are usable without internet on hdmi

My LG is generally fine, but it constantly asks me to enable the internet to accept voice input terms and conditions. IIRC I looked it up earlier and there’s no way to stop it from doing that other than to connect to the internet and accept/deny them. It works fine other than that though.

Supposedly Hisense ones work fully offline (last I checked) without annoying pop ups. I’ve read that they…

What are the Linux Distro Recommendation Criteria?

GolCor:

Kali

Kali is an offensive security distro that is about breaking security of other systems. It’s not secure in of itself. In fact it defaults to root user to make tool use easier, and at least in the Backtrack days the root password was by default “toor”. This is anything but ideal for security.

Ubuntu is fine, but the community has a long memory wrt the Amazon privacy concern. Trust…

Bitwarden scrubs ‘Always free’ and ‘Inclusion’ values from its website as longtime execs step down

Bhaelros:

They just put their web vault as an electron app and told us it is the desktop app.

Architecturally true:

The Web based clients, henceforth referenced simply as clients, are the Web Vault, _Browser

PriEco: New open source web search engine

Hi guys! I’m improving how the index is stored and will run tests about recall as I have a suspicion.
I want to be sure before I go deep into ranking. I’m sure crawler works well
I have now index insertions on pause while I’m dealing with the index. But I do crawl and everything will get inserted as soon as I’m done
I’ll be updating you about it

I’m also thinking about donations and creating a…

Why I Use Uruky, a Private Search Engine

Okay, thanks.
Unrelated: are there any plans to support querying multiple indexes (besides Uruky Site Search) at once? In my initial testing over the past day or so, Serper has overall better results, but Linkup is better at surfacing recent results. Right now I just switch between the two using “Try with:”, but it would be nice if there was a way to just combine the two together.

Why I Use Uruky, a Private Search Engine

We have explored that in the past but it slightly slowed down the general experience, and increased costs substantially, but that was across all providers. We can certainly think through implementing something like that for up to 2 providers, not as the default, but for people who choose to and don’t mind the potential slowdown.
