  • Many “self hosters” simply aren’t comfortable with the basics and expect things to be just an app you install. A simple two-tier app/db architecture is too complex for them (hence the prevalence of sqllite these days).

    I’ve run nextcloud for many years and was simply surprised to hear that it’s “difficult to manage and slow”. My experience has been quite the contrary - it’s been easy to keep up to date and has never failed an upgrade or lost data. And it performs “well enough” since I don’t use low-cost hardware for servers.

    My only complaint is that I need to run occ from a terminal rather than having a web interface for it. Makes running it in a k8s pod kinda annoying.











  • Signal encryption is already targeted by Russians and Belarusians trying to compromise it

    So what? So is the NSA and everyone else in the world? You have no evidence that the could or have compromised it at all. Just baseless “oh but it may be compromised some day!”.

    Put another way - Russians and Belorussians are also trying to hack the encryption used by your bank. WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THAT WILL REMAIN SAFE.

    Also, is Hegseth’s phone itself secure, and everyone has communicating with?

    This is the actual issue here - not Signal. Using a personal device with who-knows-what for hardening or even patch management is a significant problem.
