I’ll apologise now for the tiktok link, i know how much this place hates tiktok but here is a woman who did a deep dive and found evidence that the company actually changed their logo and tried to scrub the existence of the Cornucopia from the internet to distance themselves from Bad PR.

Can’t forget midnight mass

Underrated explanation, you held it finally click for me. I consider myself a fairly educated person but just couldn’t wrap my head around what made it so special. Correct me if i’m wrong but my understanding is the server uses the public key to encrypt a challenge code that can only be decrypted by your private key. You get an on device prompt to approve the process and the rest is done under the hood.

To go further on this, is the public/private key a mathematical relationship? What ties the two together to make them useful as a pair?

That goes hand in hand with a level of trust with some companies/people and everyone has different threat tolerances. It also highlights the mindset that you have no idea what the person on the other end of the message is doing with it. End to end encryption helps keep in line eavesdropping down but if the recipient of the message has a compromised device or are screenshoting everything and posting it on facebook it’s out of your control.

As someone else said, selfhosting is the only real way to overcome this problem. When it’s all on your hardware it matters a lot less if the messaged at are decrypted server side or not. Everyone has a different threat level and at some point you have to put trust in some companies but if beeper makes you uncomfortable then buy a cheap second hand mini pc and learn to self host the service.

In the later books they drop a line about anti aging meds a couple times as a way to explain the timeline. I wanted to be mad about that but realized i accepted anti cancer meds without blinking.

I’m no expert but my understanding is all drinking cans are lined with plastic to withstand erosion.

Everyones process is a little different but that sounds unnecessarily complicated. See my other comment about the arrs through docker. You could probably do it all in a single compose file.

It gets even more automated/complex when you add in something like overseerr which pairs up with sonarr and radarr to read your library and allows your users to search for a title and request it if it’s not in your library. With the click of an approve button the automation will have their desired title on plex in a matter of minutes.

Headscale is a self hosted version of tailscale, if you’d like to keep it as an option

The arrs would be your best bet to reduce your input. If i’m not mistaken you can run them all through docker including a version of qbittorrentb that’s bound to a vpn and the only way it access the internet is through that vpn. Or you could split tunnel your vpn and bind your qbittorrent to it and bipass your jellyfin instance.

I can’t speak on anything with beeper but a similar service that is self hostable is matrix-synapse. I mention self hosting as an answer to your concerns of safety but the other side of the coin is this isn’t introductory stuff, if you don’t have a background or general enterpris experience with this kind of thing i don’t recommend it. If you do then this seems like a good fit as you can run your own bridges into the matrix service you’re hosting so all your data stays on your own systems.

Whoogle. It’s treated me well enough so far.

Accidentally read the second book thinking it was a stand alone. The story still held up so i made it half the book before i realized my mistake

Beating google while being local would be the dream, wouldn’t it? What you say tracks but i’m like you, i’ve not done anything remotely like it so it’s very possible we’re underestimate indeed.

Agreed there isn’t any beating google, but everyone operates on different threat models. A bit of inconvenience for a bit of privacy may be worth it for some and not for others. From what little i used of it when i was trying it that yes it had much room for improvement but it was still useable. Once they get predictive text enabled i think the a swipe feature will really shine. But then again that’s just my humble opinion

Ah, my apologies, i didn’t know it was only limited to english

FlorisBoard has swipe

Splendor duel?! I love splendor but i’ve never heard of duel, sounds interesting! What’s NerdzDay?
