I am very reluctant to use WordPress at all because I've heard terrible things from multiple colleagues. It looks like something that'd get problematic at some point.

Absolutely general purpose. In the most simple terms, email, password hash, and a bit of metadata

Hi!

I am an embedded systems guy so this is new territory for me. I want to be able to host my own userbase somewhere, mainly I just want to figure out how they work. But all i can find are closed solutions that have some amount of pricing or are obscured. I also feel like it'd be wrong to re-write something like this myself.

I've tried googling around a bit but keep getting similar results so I am assuming I am asking the wrong question. What I want: Ideally some kind of dockerized setup where a user can navigate to a website to create an account, which I can then query through php or some other API. Stuff like password reset or stripe would be nice but is secondary as that can most likely be added another way.

I found stuff like usernbase which seems interesting and even includes something like subscriptions, but I'd like to self host it and not rely on something like the AWS.

Ideally I want to get OAUTH2.0 to work as well, to learn how exactly it works.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

I would be very worried if this was 'final, and now we will do it as written' but it seems to be just another iteration.the critique is great and I just hope they listen.

I am not shocked, but i'd save disappointed for when they try to do it and noone uses it because of these reasons.

This seems incredibly interesting, but the idea of a 'general purpose syncing service', in the way he describes it, makes my head scream'security concern'. In general the way it's described the format is not fixed for these services so your data might as well be encrypted in any arbitrary way I think?

But knowing this wouldn't this kind of general purpose syncing service need some way of identifying what data it is even syncing? Unless you encooperate something grand like the signal protocol (as in encrypted anonymous messaging) you d always run a security risk if the service you use for syncing is not self-controlled?

If anyone has more insight on this I'd be very interested, it seems like a very good concept.

It sounds to me like anything other than p2p local syncing with some protocol is a confidentiality no-go.

So according to this I am a determinist turned absurdist? Neat!

As someone who sees these articles, who should I not vote for? Is there some ranking for 'most asshole-ish politician' regarding the EU? I know every politician has somewhat dirt on them but I'd love to know what to avoid since apparently some of those turds are worse than others.

This is what I had in mind as well; If you had to how would you add a beamer to this that could use your jellyfin/plex server?

Ideally I'd want a pi or mini pc behind the beamer that I can switch on/off remotely so that part is not always on

Okay I never knew that, I would also accept tips for setting up a star trek beamer though xD

Hi! My goal: I want to set up a ~~beamer~~ projector in my flat and connect that to some kind of 'always on' machine with which I can stream (currently Netflix a bit but that really is not a priority as I am thinking of cancelling it) but would also like it to be a torrent client (I have a VPN) to download some media. Though something like popcorn time would also be nice, though that's also something that I would only use behind a vpn for obvious reasons.

I have a pi5 or and some older NUCs hanging around that run well with Ubuntu. I know that something like kodi does not play nice with Netflix (iirc because of drm).

Should I use the pi? Or better an Ubuntu and do the power management best I can myself?

What would you guys say is a good way to try this out?

Edit: TIL I thought beamer is a word that German borrows from English, so I assumed it's the same. Nope, in German 'beamer' has very weird roots (https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Videoprojektor) so Germany stole an English word 'beam' but it meant project... Weird

In general the article seems to be a summary of current legislative actions that are ongoing between big tech and EU. Though in the article it's worded with the much more fitting 'game of chicken between EU and Big Tech' rather than something like the title, but I guess "drop dead has a better ring to it"...

I general the article has a lightly optimistic tone, which I very deeply hope holds true.

Beg? Or am I misunderstanding this?

[-] zweieuro@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Aahh OK so they are the IDFs responsibility and they are being purposefully neglegent, makes sense to be trialed for that.

[-] zweieuro@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Assuming these are unaffiliated civilians (which I am assuming here that these people are just assholes who hate Palestinians) can they be trialed for this as a war crime?
