That entirely depends on what your threat model is. You may not get any value out of that feature, but others may want it. One reason may be ease of storage drive disposal upon drive failure; i.e., if your drive is unencrypted and has your personal photos on it and it fails, the data is still recoverable with no easy way for you to destroy the data. If it was encrypted at rest, you wouldn’t have to worry about it because you would only have to rotate the encryption key.
Looks like Ente supports end to end encryption and Immich doesn’t.
Thanks for posting that. I hadn’t heard of falco before. Cncf graduated, open source, cloud native. I’m going to give this a shot.
Wow that went dark quickly. Not sure any of that was warranted
If you started a project, wouldn’t you list your server up top? The fact they changed it should tell you all you need to know. Also it’s their instance, they can do with it what they want. That’s like saying someone painted their house a color that is questionable. Block it and move on.
Sorry I just don’t think it’s right to pass judgement on people for doing what they want with their project or instance especially when they designed it in a way that anyone can set up their own instance do do what THEY want with their own.
Lemmy.ml is like 8th in the list on join-Lemmy.org. Doesn’t seem to be pushing?
their admins will see your comments elsewhere, then find any/all comments on their instance and either harass you or ban you.
Citation lemmy.ml admins do this please? Also isn’t this technically possible with every single instance of Lemmy?
There’s also a big brigading problem with going against the “common knowledge” of Lemmy. Brave can do no good. Reverse proxy on the internet and you’re secure. Etc.
That your comment is downvoted and barely debated speaks volumes to Lemmy as actual discourse.
Thanks for pointing out the actually definition of security by obscurity. Popularity has nothing to do with it.
I’m definitely not a socialist. .ml is where I landed when I joined due to not knowing any better and joining the largest (at the time) instance, and honestly the outside hate is keeping me there.
PieFed is absolutely a “derivative” in terms of its DNA. It’s basically built as a love letter to Lemmy’s specific flavor of ActivityPub.
If you look at the raw JSON, PieFed isn’t just “using ActivityPub”, it’s specifically implementing the “Lemmy-isms” that make the Threadiverse work. It uses the same Group actor logic, the same Dislike activity extensions for downvoting, and even mirrors Lemmy’s API routes so you can use apps like Jerboa.
In a way, it’s like how a 3rd-party controller is a “derivative” of a PlayStation controller. The internals are completely different, but it’s shaped exactly that way so it can plug into the same console and work perfectly. PieFed chose to speak “Lemmy-ish” instead of just “ActivityPub-ish” to ensure it wasn’t an island.
You said it not me.
Lemmy isn’t compatible with Reddit. Piefed is literally implementing Lemmy’s data structures to specifically be compatible with Lemmy.
So since your stated goal is counter to reality, I have to wonder what your real intent is. I only see this drama as weakening Lemmy and Piefed by extension, not strengthening anything.
Piefed is a derivative of Lemmy. So you’re not getting away from it.
That’s why
Which is? I’m still missing something here.
I really do not understand all the .ml hate. If you have it so much why are you using their technology (Lemmy)? So much bullshit being reposted as fact. Basically echo chamber brigading. I left Reddit to escape this shit…
Edit: although judging by your post history you lack conviction and joke about everything, so maybe I missed the mark
I’m don’t know how to link properly but this happened a couple weeks ago.
Open source just means people are free to edit it and distribute their changes. Hardcoding things like this is bad practice no matter if it’s open source or not. It’s not maintainable. Maintainable as in easily maintainable, I.e., configuration files not code edits.
That isn’t how it works. They would have to FORK the code and maintain their changes going forward with every update. That is poor software development practices no matter how you look at it.
Why should I use a raidz array? I use other scalable storage solutions. Encryption at rest is a standard core tenant to cybersecurity. If one of the raidz drives is removed from the array, and you’re not encrypting your datasets, someone could recover data from the drive.
