Found this useful tool called Hister. Basically your search history with better capabilities. I often will stumble across something, forget to save it and recalling it is a hit-or-miss if i can remember the title of the page I am thinking of. This makes it easier. It makes a local copy of the text and adds better search capabilities to sites you have visited in the past.

Forgot what Grim Dawn build I was working on. Searched for it and found it from my browsing history.

Another great tool to add to the self-hosting arsenal. Check it out!

          Podman CVE-2026-44517: A breakout can happen during container build using malicious Containerfile and Git Smart HTTP server or GitHub release tar archive. This is weird, essentially it is a path traversal, which has been fixed in 1.43.2.
          Still pulling malicious code into a container, we can agree, is not ideal path traversal or not.

          Have not explored the exploitation on this one.

              New post: IPv6 Foundations.

              IPv6 isn't "the future of the internet." It's the internet. IPv4 is the relic we keep alive on NAT life support.

              A laid-back tour through the basics: how the addresses are built, the two rules for crushing out the zeros, a /64 per subnet so you stop counting hosts, SLAAC, and why blocking ICMPv6 is a self-inflicted wound.

              And no, dual-stack isn't a destination. It's a burden.

The SelfHosters know how to make this grassroots internet you suggest, but they all do it in a different way. The normies of the world can't bear losing network effects, to adopt a frayed variety of solutions, where there are no network effects anywhere. The "consensual emotional clan warmth", for lack of a better term (which the status quo affords; using big tech Social media), would be lost, and although they won't come out and admit it, this isn't a thinkable, bearable loss to the normies.

                                  You're up against a wall of unbearable emotional loss; alas this isn't really about logic.

                                                    :bah: MinIO, então, revelou-se outra empresa californiana que mantinha um modelo híbrido de licenciamento do software que desenvolvia e, na capitania do navio com uma extensa comunidade embarcada, resolveu abandoná-lo, voltando-se ao desenvolvimento de software totalmente privativo de liberdade. Pior, consta que fez isso para pular com os dois pés no inafundável supertransatlântico da dita inteligência artificial... :noAI:

                                                    Qual será a próxima? Desconfiemos de todo projeto com esse modelo híbrido "Community Edition" altamente merdificável. Tentemos focar no software livre e não nos deixemos enganar pela ladainha corporativa do chamado código aberto enquanto convém.

                                                    Felizmente, o que foi desenvolvido até então está publicado sob , algo que, por nos conceder as quatro liberdades essenciais para isso, garante à comunidade que qualquer parte interessada assuma a liderança do projeto para tirar o barco da deriva, digo, continuar seu desenvolvimento como derivado. Parece até que isso já começou. Contudo, como há outros projetos mais ativos com propósitos semelhantes, não há certeza de que seu desenvolvimento continuará.

                                                    A notícia já é antiga, de meses atrás, mas tomei ciência apenas hoje. A primeira vez que tive contato com esse programa e o utilizei foi muito recentemente, ao implantar meu servidor , de cuja documentação MinIO faz parte como armazenamento local. Agora vai ter que ficar assim, na última versão lançada, ao menos por algum tempo. Estava cogitando usar MinIO para mais funções, mas vou deixá-lo apenas para o armazenamento de objetos locais do Ente mesmo. Já devia ter usado algum outro sistema de armazenamento com API compatível com S3. Não é interessante começar algo com um componente importante já descontinuado. Lembrete a mim mesmo: mais atenção a dependências, na próxima vez! :blobCatThisIsFine:

                                                      My philosophy of self hosting is that it supposed to be free. Despite, I already accepted the burden of paying for my domain.
                                                      Some people turn into self hosting because of privacy concerns or branding. But I mainly suffer from the lack of customization.
                                                      For example, with emails, I don’t really use them, but I receive spam and I want to filter it smartly

                                                        I am really upset by my attempt to self host a mail server. So it’s not about configuration complexity. That went fine with a good docker setup that I chose. But what is failing me is that port 25 is blocked by my home Internet provider and by cloud service provider.

                                                          @labellaragassa It's a bunch of tradeoffs. There are acceptable solutions where trust is warranted, but they're less convenient, and require more skills. How far down the rabbit hole of inconvenience are you willing to go, to satisfy more of your ideals?

                                                            PiVPN (and ) is software, is not a business per se. I subscribe to a VPN service which I provide to myself.
                                                            Serious geek skills allow for this.

                                                            **The point being: If people want to divorce and indemnify themselves from underlying politics of any provider, this is how at least one "middleman" is eliminated, IMHO.** If one feels like one can't trust any VPN provider, then at the end of the day, one needs to learn more skills.

                                                            There needs to be some trust, somewhere.
