Hello Mastodon
I'm rogi.
I have a 2014 ThinkPad. I run a blog with €5/month. Zero cloud.I read privacy policies so you don't have to.
Last month: an AI had a 24KB psychological profile built from my conversations. Last week: my passport went through 17 US companies just to get a LinkedIn badge. Nobody mentioned that.
That's what I write about. Not paranoia, just what's actually in the documents.

@thelocalstack nice stuff and rationalistic approach. I follow you.
However it is not expected that general IT infrastructure users are capable of doing this - even if they agree in principle. We need experts, providers, who are doing it in an ethical way with optimal legal environment under control.
Anyhow, you are right, everyone can do the 1st steps on its own.

@ghrasko
Ebben nem értem mi a pláne.
Nekem is a fő szerverem egy #Lenovo #b570e és nem függ semmitől.A jelenleg épülő konstrukció már egy fokkal erősebb, de igazából nem sokkal újabb.
Annyi a különbség, hogy a sok kis laptop hdd-t, ami amúgy 4TB-nyi tárhellyel szolgált, kiváltotta tegnap egy 4TB-s #NAS #HDD.
A rendszer meghajtója #SSD és ennyi.
Fut minden: #JellyFin #Docker #LXC #Nextcloud #HomeAssistant és még sok webes projekt: #Wordpress például.

@randomdolgok @ghrasko na ja, én is informatikus vagyok. De nem minden informatikai rendszert használó az. És egyébként én sem tudnám védeni a szervereimet a kibertámadások ellen.
A társadalom nem épülhet arra, hogy mindenki megsüti a kenyerét, cipőt készít magának, utat épít a házáig, kioperálja a saját vakbelét.
Nem azzal van a baj, hogy az informatikai funkciókat más adja (el) nekünk, hanem azzal, hogy mi mindent enged meg a társadalom a big tech-nek.

@ghrasko Jó, így nézve nyilván igaz. Nem minden autóvezető autószerelő is egyben.
Ki mihez ért.
Tény, hogy megvan annak is a diszkrét bája, mikor el akar szállni a gép, mert éppen be akarnak jönni. De, van egy fura perverzióm, hogy én ezt kihívásnak veszem és szeretem.
(Üzemeltetek intézményeknek is VPS-eket és az egyiken be akartak jönni. Telefonon kersztül a hegyekben síelve oldottam. Tiszta MacGyvernem éreztem magam. Nem tudom mások hogy tudnak csak telefonon élni?! Borzasztó.)

@randomdolgok én is igyekszem megtenni, amit lehet. Nemrég osztottam meg a mobilomon hadznált alkalmazások listáját. Ez meg a laptopom. Nekem kihívás, mert eddig mindig Windows-zal dolgoztam. De kezd működni.

@ghrasko Fair point, most people won't self-host, and that's fine. The goal was never "everyone should run a ThinkPad in their closet." But the 1st steps you mention? That's the real 80/20. Better DNS, no password reuse, a decent email provider. No server needed. And yes, we need more ethical providers in the EU. Informed users and good infrastructure actors go hand in hand. Plenty more to come in the blog, I'm going to talk about privacy-focused actors that care about your privacy in the future

@thelocalstack I absolutely support your ideas. Everyone should do whatever percentage hi/she is capable of. Part of that is switching to reliable providers, the other is to push legislation, politicians to force privacy supported laws.
I myself replaced a majority of the applications on my mobile. Surely, not 100%, but the applications are mostly open source and/or European ones falling under European privacy legislation. Also changed my laptop from Windows to Linux.

@thelocalstack I just read your posts, not many but really interesting. Keep the good work. I want to introduce you our French GDPR celebrity @aeris. Very much aligned I think.
Also love the low tech, that's my project for this summer. -
