Gnome works quite well on a larger touch-screen. Edit: ah, Ubuntu should have that by default.
There is a special .iso archive for all past releases.
When you are actively charging the batteries off a solar panel for example, it will be even higher, up to 17V 14.5V or so I think. The automotive PicoPSUs only cost a little more and will smooth it out up to 24V I think… there are even some models that go up to 48V.
Edit: why the down-votes? Is this incorrect?
Some people want to be able to reach their server via SSH when they are not at home, but yes I agree in general that is not necessary when running a real home server.
Get a PicoPSU for automotive use (there are two varieties, one that needs stable 12v and another that can run directly off a battery with varying voltage).
Don’t leave SSH on port 22 open as there are a lot of crawlers for that, otherwise I really can’t say I share your experience, and I have been self-hosting for years.
This is nonsense. A small static website is not going to be hacked or DDOSd. You can run it off a cheap ARM single board computer on your desk, no problem at all.
Well then, your assertion that Matrix gives it freely is false.
My point is that it should never give out that data, or even store it permanently in the first place. This is just a fundamentally bad design from a privacy perspective, and other messengers don’t do that.
This is false, too. Historical event visibility is controlled by a room setting. (And if you don’t trust admins of a sensitive room to configure for privacy, then you’re going to have bigger problems, no matter what platform it’s on.)
This is not false, what you mean only hides it for normal users, but it still ends up in the database of all participating homeservers and all the admins of those have full access to it. I happen to run a Matrix homeserver myself…
Obviously you need someone joining the room for the room metadata to be shared between homeservers. But that is really only a minor barrier and once that has happened the worst case scenario takes place immediately. On other messengers (federated or not) a newly joining member has very limited access to past room metadata. Not so with Matrix, where a joining homeserver get full retroactive access to all the room metadata since the room’s creation. If you can’t see the problem with that, you really need to stop privacy LARPing 🙄
lol, why are you even posting on a privacy community then? And using Tor doesn’t help at all in that case.
Yes it is a problem for both public and private rooms as this info is stored and shared retroactively. Lets say one of the participants of a private room gets compromised or you invite someone that has their account on a compromised homeserver. This then results in the entire room meta-data history (since the room was created) being shared with that compromised homeserver which can then easily analyse it in detail.
No, because Matrix stores all this info and gives it freely to other servers retroactively(!). Also with network layer sniffing (which is anyway much harder to do) you can only see which home-server talked to with other homeserver and what clients talked to their homeserver. If you have the full room meta-data you can easily make a social graph of which account talked to whom when and where.
There is a lot more metadata than just avatars and reactions. Accounts and their room membership over time, timing of messages (and thus online times), individual interactions between specific users (based on the timing of their messages) and so on. That is all in the unencrypted metadata of a Matrix room and can’t be moved to the encrypted message part like avatars and reactions.
Like all of it. It is not a “leak” if it is working as intended.
Anyone can spin up a Matrix server, join a room with it and the Matrix network will happily push a complete copy of the room metadata (all the way back to the point the room was first created) to that new homeserver.
You seem to be unaware of how Matrix works. It is inherent to the protocol that room metadata is shared with other servers. It is not fixable as it is working as intended. This feature is nice for censorship resistance, but it is pretty much a nightmare for metadata privacy.
Because there is a lot more metadata than just IP addresses.
I think the term often used is “NAT reflection”.
Power-line tends to be quite slow and error prone. If you have existing coax, that is likely the better option. You can get up to 2.5gbit adapters for it: https://til.simonwillison.net/networking/ethernet-over-coaxial-cable
Nothing specifically, just nice improvements cumulating over the years.
