The US is especially authoritarian.

And if you think you actually have a choice in candidates, let alone any good ones you’re sorely mistaking.

Voter suppression is a widely used tactic to influence votes away from low socio economic areas and black communities.

Oh yeah I’m not denying that.

I’m just saying its short sighted to take any shots at China when the west are authoritarian themselves.

The US government is a dangerous authoritarian government and they heavily influence private business in very nasty ways.

Authentik

You’re looking for Coder.

You can even set up your DE with the bits required to build your apps.

Fasmail + domain

Yep if you’ve got the requisite skills the linuxserver guide is the best for authelia.

I’ve also ran Keycloak via the red hat documentation.

That’s really as easy as it gets…if you want to learn, be prepared to pile through the documentation.

You probably need to realise that this is advanced self hosting here.

I might suggest you start off with something a bit simpler.

Run an application, do DNS, point Nginx to it, get certbot and follow the instructions on their site to implement it. Read logs. Update stuff. Break stuff.

You need to build up to it, because Authentication is a compilation of 5-6 different basic tasks that you need to be across. And if you mess up any of them, it won’t work and you need to work out why.

Secure Web Application Gateway.

And something like “swag selfhosted” or “swag linuxserver” would have been a better search term. You need to lead the horse at least slightly in the direction of water when it comes to Google searches.

Simplest would be Authelia and Swag.

Swag comes with prewritten config files and all you really need to do is uncomment a few lines and make sure it’s pointed to your service.

Linuxserver.io guides are good for this.

I ended up landing on Keycloak and I believe I set mine up using the ansible script, again it’s a matter of plugging in some details.

This has been exceptionally done to death on Reddit but I’ll say it here since Reddit is dead.

Authentication -

If what you’re looking for is a login front end you could check out paper merge - personally I’ve got Keycloak and Nginx running so I can just make my own login page anyway and put paperless behind it.

Stuff with sensitive documents should probably not be on the internet anyway unless you’re a really advanced user.

Encryption -

In app encryption offers no security because the encryption key is stored in RAM and likely a database entry that must be unencrypted.

So the Devs are 100% correct in stating that it gives people a false sense of security to offer it as a feature.

Best bet is to have an encrypted filesystem or alternative encrypted storage buuuut, also understand that encryption key is also stored in RAM.

TLDR: There is no point in Devs offering in app encryption when you should already be encrypting the filesystem.

Google TV.

Your “smart” tv never needs to touch the internet. They’re usually going some sort of spying anyways.

$70? In Australia I pay $85 for 75/20 unlimited.

Great bot

Look a basic VM from OVH or Vultr runs you like $5 USD. I’m talking 1 core 1gb ram. If anyone is offering 512mb for any less than like $2.5 is a scammer. But seriously, $5 is immensely worth it.

Mine also works fine though. That being said I do only apply for jobs using this email so if you have a problem with hosted email providers I probably don’t want to work for the company anyway.

Doubt it, but it’s the spamassasin part that I think won’t work.

Actually to be fair, mine works fine and always has. The final boss is making Hotmail/live/Microsoft actually accept your email despite you jumping through all the hoops to have perfect spam score.

I’ve got something in the region of 80gb of jpeg and raw files.

Probably 8000-9000 photos.

Yeah syncing from my phone was a bear, but I just let it run overnight.

Also not using iOS for what it’s worth. iOS is a shithole when it comes to overaggressive battery optimisation.

Honestly im all about nextcloud photos.
