Self-hosting isn’t only just about owning the mental, but it’s also the freedom to configure things the way you want, and to be sovereign of your data.

I did it for some memes, not like I’m making money out of it.

That way you can’t work around Microsoft getting a copy of your work no matter what.

Would you say that your game can be played entirely locally of you can’t save your game while offline?

I cannot fathom even using a software that ties a critical feature such as the ability of saving your work to an Internet connection.

At that point, if your software relies on the Internet to accomplish an important task, it doesn’t matter if the app is native or runs some code in your browser if some critical features depends on someone else’s system to work as expected.

Right, I think I found a lot of stuff for v3, but not that much for v4 and almost nothing for v5. I still managed to figure it out and I have a decent template now.

The worst is trying to find which version a post on StackExchange is about…

Just having an example with the most common tasks (ex: creating registry keys, registering DLLs or Fonts, etc) and having some comments in there with the common pitfalls to avoid would really go a long way.

I do appreciate v5 in a way, now that you don’t need a preprocessing step for the file, that you can use a wildcards for a directory, and you can just build a package in a single step is a great improvement. Maybe I was spoiled with Nullsoft and Inno Setup in the past 😬

I had to build a Windows Installer package using WiX Toolset, and v5 came out maybe 3-4 months at that point and the structure compared to v4 is quite different… that was fun trying to build something with lackluster documentation compared to v4. I gave a shot to ChatGPT, etc to help, but all it could spit out was a mess.

If you not the only one holding the encryption key, you can’t guarantee your data cannot be snooped.

Either encrypt your stuff using GPG, or use something like Cryptomator.

It was bound to happen, and one less reason to use shortlinks.

Pressing “Join Group” just makes my Signal app crash on Android 🥴

There’s CryptPad that has a form feature which you could use for surveys.

When the void stares back.

Me: You’re not wrong…

It’s going to get flagged fast af.

Nowhere, just one of the use-case I think RSS feeds could cover in a more privacy-respecting way.

I personally hate newsletters because

1. my email inbox is already cluttered enough as it is
2. I need to share my email to subscribe, which puts the balance of power into the hands of the sender at the expense of my privacy

I’d rather have newsletters made available through RSS feeds, where I can subscribe and unsubscribe anonymously.

I wasn’t involved in the tender, so I don’t know who initially applied and what were the specifics.

I’ll wait for a local model where the transcription happens on-device, like Google Recorder.
