This is especially necessary to consider if you live in the US right now. One of the things the current administration is pushing for even harder than past administrations is removal of Section 230 of the communications act that was enacted in the 90s. This provides a defense against liability for the content you host as long as you make a reasonable effort to remove content that is illegal. Problem is that this makes it really difficult to censor (maliciously or otherwise) content because it’s hard to go after the poster of the content and easier to go after the host or for the host to be under threat to stop it from being posted in the first place. But it’s a totally unreasonable thing, so it basically would mean every website would have to screen every piece of content manually with a legal team and thus would mean user generates content would go away because it would be extremely expensive to implement (to the chagrin of the broadcast content industries).

The DMCA created way for censors to file a complaint and have content taken down immediately before review, but that means the censors have to do a lot of work to implement it, so they’ve continued to push for total elimination of Section 230. Since it’s a problematic thing for fascism, the current administration has also been working hard to build a case so the current biased supreme court can remove it since legislation is unlikely to get through since those people have to get reelected whereas supreme court justices don’t care about their reputation.

So, check your local laws and if in the US, keep an eye on Section 230 news as well as making sure you have a proper way to handle DMCA takedown notices.

Are there any guides to using it with reverse proxies like traefik? I’ve been wanting to try it out but haven’t had time to do the research yet.

Problem is that unless the person was paid for contributing, what goods or services are being exchanged with the project. I mean if Microsoft received money from that person for a subscription or something I might see them having to ban the user and refund the money. But what did the project receive that would violate sanctions? Volunteer work is usually not covered or else relief organizations and religious missionaries would be banned and the US historically loves sending those. What am I missing?

Rust crates manifest file requires a license be set to be hosted on crates.io and the example manifest file uses:

[package] 
license = "MIT OR Apache-2.0"

Something like the Java’s jar manifest doesn’t have a predefined license property for interpreters to parse. Maven has a property, but it’s not required.

Yes it’s defects in the ingress-nginx controller package.

Yes, but punish the government and those who support those governments. The majority of people who live in a fascist country do not agree with the government otherwise fascism wouldn’t be necessary.

I live in the US and I don’t agree with nor apologize for the anti-trans, anti-women, anti-immigrant, and racist policies the federal government has recently implemented. In fact many policies directly affect me and my wellbeing.

I voted against them, but unfortunately we weren’t given an option to vote for something better because of the way things work here. And many of these countries don’t even have that. Nor do I think anyone else who lives in or visits the US should be punished for the actions of its government. Same goes for any other country.

And in this case it looks like it may just be someone visited one of those countries sometime in the past, though details are scarce. I get then need to sanction people involved with the bad stuff, but people who just visit or live there with no other connection to the bad stuff is a little extreme. Especially since contributing to this project, for free, is not producing profit for or supporting any government.

I think its just that the language having built in licensing is a newer concept as opposed to just having a companion document. And MIT and Apache are the licenses the pieces of the language is licensed under, so they made those default. That way it’s a conscious decision to make it more restrictive.

I don’t think it’s Rust exactly. I think Rust is just newer and this attracts developers with less experience with licensing. It’s not really something developers want to think about very much so they often just use the default. Heck, most code on github, etc., didn’t have any licenses at all for a really long time until businesses realized they couldn’t use the code without them due to copyright laws being applied by default but patents not being default in many countries, etc.

There are consequences to using copyleft as opposed to more permissive libre licenses, and vice versa, that may not be well understood by a lot of developers in general until they get into a situation where it matters. Either their code can’t be used by people they wanted to sue it, or companies are abusing the code without proper attribution, etc.

Depends on what you’re backing up. Is it configs for applications, images, video, etc? If it’s application configs, you can set up those applications in a virtual machine and have a process run that starts the machine, restores the configs, and makes sure the applications start or whatever other tests you want. There are applications for doing that.

If it’s images or videos, you can create a script to randomly pick a few, restore them, and check the integrity of the files. Usually just a check of the file header (first few bytes of the file) will tell you if it’s an image or video type of file and maybe a check on the file size to make sure it’s not an unreasonably small size, like a video that’s only 100 bytes or something.

All this seems like overkill though in most scenarios.

If you want to keep your LDAP as the source of truth, then Keycloak is also a very good option. I did that originally, but decided I only had a couple of things needing LDAP and that wasn’t worth keeping it around. Authentik was a good way to emulate an LDAP but with a different back end. But Keycloak is definitely my recommendation in your case.

Keycloak. Took me a bit to learn the basics, but it has been way easier to troubleshoot than Authentik and has more features. If you need something that mimics LDAP rather than syncing with an existing LDAP, then Authentik is pretty good. I don’t use LDAP, though.

I use Arthurian legend related stuff. Servers and desktops are locations. My portable devices are the names of swords. IoT devices are more explicitly descriptive since I won’t need to type in, but it’s more important to recognize them when I see them, like lightswitch-livingroom.

I really would love something like Amie Street before Amazon bought it to kill it. I got so much great music on there for pennies which then led me to buy more and more from those artists. My problem is I need to hear a song a few times before it digs into my soul. And preferably not when I’m paying too close attention to the technical aspects so it can hit me more emotionally. So just having a 10-30 second preview or just hearing it one time is never going to be enough to hook me on an artist. Also, cheaper b-sides since it was demand based meant I was much more likely to hear more of their music and get more invested in the artist.

DNS over TLS handles that. No need for DoH really. Unless DNS ports are blocked or captured by NAT or something and you need to use port 443 with DoH. At least not with a DNS server.

DoH is useful for individual applications to do their own DNS lookups bypassing the OS or network level DNS. Otherwise DoH and DoT provide the same basic protection. DoT is just at a lower network layer and thus more easily applies more broadly across the network or OS rather than being application or resolver specific. There’s never been a real need for a DNS server to use DoH instead of DoT unless DoT is blocked upstream.

Use VPN or DDNS connected to your domain registrar. Of course DDNS might not update immediately, especially if your domain host is not the same as your DNS provider, so you might have outages for short periods when your IP changes. So, depends on if you’re OK with that or what kind of connection you have and whether it changes your IP a lot.

Also, might be able to get an IPv6 address for free depending on your ISP or at least you can set up your router to request that your address block is retained for you. I know Comcast does this. Unfortunately, my ISP does not.

Unbound supports DoH if compiled with the support and given TLS certificates. I don’t use it internally on my home network because I have a pihole that I want to capture the traffic. I do use DNS over TLS for upstream communication, though.

Mine has those, but it was a different model that had the hardware required to do WiFi. Likely it’s not included and unless the device was designed to modify, it’s likely that the motherboard doesn’t have a way to add it easily and there won’t be much space to do your own WiFi card and soldering if the board does have the connections and support in the firmware/BIOS. Best bet would be a USB WiFi card.

There’s too much of a fine line in what is considered hate and what is considered “alternative facts”. The current state in the US shows how language can be twisted to mean the opposite and how easy it has always been to dehumanize some group in order to make laws not apply to them.

Sounds like this might be specific to your brand of TV. I have a Sony and there’s a bunch of Sony junk on there that I disabled a long time ago. But my TV app doesn’t have any ads in it yet. I’m guessing your manufacturer added ads to their TV app and made a deal with Google to use them as the ad provider. Unfortunately, those apps are relatively proprietary since they are supposed to be primarily just a simple UI for the tuners and so mostly hardware specific. Not saying there aren’t replacements, but likely that would require someone to reverse engineer some of of the hardware firmware’s APIs rather than web APIs that most apps interface with and aren’t guaranteed to be the same across models. Those are only available if you own an actual TV, so it’s less likely to exist.

Anyway, my point is that your searching probably needs to focus on the TV rather than the Android/Google TV platform as a whole. Look on forums devoted to the TV brand. You may have more luck.

The other alternative might be to block the ads on your router, but that may or may not work or cause some unintended inconveniences. For example I have Google’s DNS blocked and my wifi constantly drops and reconnects even when I only want to watch locally hosted content because the TV thinks it’s offline and needs to fix the connection.

I distance myself from companies run by people who say or explicitly support people who say that I don’t or shouldn’t exist. There are a few other things that make me distance myself from companies, but that one is a pretty hard line. (I’m gender “non-compliant” and on the Autism spectrum among other things that have been explicitly said don’t exist, shouldn’t exist, or need to be “cured”). Otherwise, I try to distance myself from any companies who explicitly collect and sell my information and other things that I find problematic, but that’s not always possible.
