I think there is an assumption that is rooted in how reddit worked, that votes are anonymous. People operating under that assumption might not like having that blanket ripped off. It would be different if it was up front from the start.

This isn't new, interesting or noval information. If you run whats app from the desktop app or from web.WhatsApp.com on you're browser on a PC then no shit they know your on your PC

Why does it matter if the people I'm chatting with know if in onnmy PC?

Mozilla Relay is also a good option

I can't speak for most of your post. I'll say that an app that might allow you to find out if you're being paid your fair wage sounds great, I couldn't begin to know how to execute on that idea.

But what I will say is this:

I’m not sure if working with a union is worth it, especially in a country, where employers have reportedly hired goons to silence employees, not just blue-collar, but also IT sweat-shop employees.

The past has taught us that labor victories are achieved despite significant opposition. The history of the Pinkertons, the history of the Haymarket affair in Chicago, the history of the Ludlow Massacre and the greater Coalfields War in Colorado and more. These stories are filled with people fighting against a system that will, when it feels it's necessary, resort to incredibly oppressive methods of enforcement. You can probably find similar stories in India's history. This is a history that shows how powerful labor is because if it weren't, we wouldn't need groups like the Pinkertons. Is it personally worth it? It's up to you to decide, but the challenges we face today can help us build a better future.

Our minds maybe pessimistic, but our will is optimistic. A spector haunts America 👻!

I've been bouncing between Jebora and Boost for a while. I like boosts interface but really would rather use a FOSS app, so this definitely covers both for me. Just started using it though. I did change the layout to "Android" and change the theme to Dracula.

And sometimes we must seek alternative pathways to success, and recognize them as such. Data stopped trying to play to win and found success in playing to not lose. He rejected the stated objective in favor of his own goals, and in turn was rewarded with new perspectives and greater understanding.

Sometimes the stated objectives can confine us to narrow thinking and obscure other possibilities. One man's draw is sometimes another man's victory. It is all a matter of perspective.

 

I come from a Windows management history and work within a Windows Domain. So there is a level of "ease of use" that I get out of having a separate account in the "domain admins" group within Active Directory.

So now that I'm building out a home lab, and playing with Linux more, I have a few Linux servers floating around. The means of authentication are all over the place because they were all set up at different parts of the learning process. One server uses keypair authentication, the others are just PW authentication, and all the credentials on the servers are different (naturally).

It feels disorganized, and I think it would be good to learn how to do it right. I know that the modes of management are very different, and Linux servers can become effectively disposable if done correctly.

So I guess these are my questions:

  • How do you streamline authenticating to multiple servers under your control?
  • Is key authentication the way to go? If so how do you manage your keys?
  • do you make a default admin account and then make a new account for you specifically to authenticate?
 

I know that I can use 3rd party services to set up a tunnel, like Cloudflare, but I'd like to implement this myself.

I feel like every time I research this question I find all kinds of blogs / form posts across the timescape on the topic, and I'm just looking for whatever might be the most current or recommended best method of configuring a VPS tunnel. I'm behind a CG-Nat which is why I want to set one up.

If you've done this recently yourself, where did you get your info from?

Thanks!

 

What are you using to keep informed of new software versions? Most of what I'm looking to track is open source and on GitHub but some isn't. Getting alerts via Google chat or slack or email would be cool.

Not sure if this is even something that exists at the moment.
