I recommend, reading the release changelogs actively. For most services you can just put the github release page in an RSS reader to get a notification when a new release hits, so you can quickly look for any breaking changes, also this will give you info about new features.

I have been using watchtower for a few years. No problems with auto updates so far, but keep your backup handy.

Yes because immich is still not considered stable. Keep that in mind.

Have found it by accident too. Just amazing.

Would love something like that for the Desktop. Basically a removedpit+Serverbox+xpipe for my desktop clients.

Some (probably most) domain registrars allow to use different nameservers. So for example i use namecheap, since its cheap as domain registrar but cloudflare for DNS, since the API is free and widly supported.

Yes, but when the list is long enough and you have enough words, it is to difficult to guess.

Think about it. The list of all possible characters is also known, still with enough length and randomness it becomes too difficult to guess too.

That is true. But then you could probably use the chunk length to determine where the ads starts and ends since there is with a very high probability an unusually long chunk at those times.

Sure there is, most messages are probably too short but in general yes. There is no difference to an online article.

I write a book that gets published. I still hold copyright over it even if it is in someone else’s bookshelf. What rights the copyright holder and the person has is regulated by law. For example a physical book can be resold or lent to someone else, but it is not allowed to copy it and sell the copies.

I can cite text from the boom, that falls under fair use but I cannot use whole chapters in a derived work.

I still hold copyright over my messages online, even when it is public or published, that is basic copyright law in most relevant legislations. If the training of an LLM and later selling access to the LLM with copyright infringed data is fair use is yet to be determined.

• Hosting all videos doble, one with ads and the same vids without for premium user

Not quite sure why, they simply could in the fly stitch those files together.

Twitch is doing that for a while now i think.

You missed the point. It is not about if it is private or not, it is how they use it. You are allowed (on some pages) to read news article. Are you allowed to copy and publish them on your own site? No. You have a Copyright on your posts same as a author has on his books.

If it is legal or not is still to be discussed.

Similar to how data was mined (or even still is) about users without consent. Now there is for example the GDPR.

They would not be able to really. In theory every contributor (or at least the vast majority) would have to agree to that license change.

Yes. But it allows to define a custom storage layout based on user date time filename typ and album.

I self host because i do not trust companies. I will not even consider giving tailscale the keys to my kingdom.

The company Tailscale is a giant target and has a much higher risk in getting compromised than my VPN or even accessible services.

Understand the technology that you use and assess your use case and threat model.

No backup no mercy 🤷‍♂️

Yes project does not follow semantic versioning. But you can consider it it the 0.y.z state where it is even in the semantic versioning allowed to have breaking changes without major version increase.

The service gets no other information other then “Is the holder of the id older then 18” => “Yes”

There is no personal data exchange.

No. There is no 3rd party service needed. It all can happen only between the service asking and the id (smart card).

Electronic ids can provide the age verification without giving out any personal information. This is a solved problem at least for a lot of ids in the EU.

But no i still find it a stupid idea. It is the parents job to parent them.
