For anything important, use matrix instead of lemmy DMs.

  • I’m a big fan of mutual TLS, which I just do in nginx reverse proxy.
    Client certs get installed on trusted devices and then it’s mostly seamless.
    Not every app will support it, but I use Firefox as a fallback for stuff that doesn’t, or my VPN.
    TBH, I’m just happy homeassistant supports it as that’s the one thing I’d rather be as seamless as possible.
    Other things I don’t mind having to connect a VPN for, like jellyfin, which I don’t currently share with others.
    For nextcloud I’m currently not running mTLS as it wasn’t supported back then and I had to share some links with some people where I wouldn’t deal with certs. I think mTLS support has been merged since, so if you just use it for devices under your control, or might be viable









  • For one thing, it still has the option for an additional fingerprint lock to open the app.
    Sure, my phone itself is locked anyway, usually.
    I still like having the second lock built into the app itself for the odd time (however rare) that I hand my unlocked phone to someone.
    I know they’re not snooping into my signal messages while I blink or misclick on a notification or whatever.

    It may not be a big deal for some/most but I like that feature and I can’t imagine that’s something that needs much upkeep once initially implemented.

    I’m sure it’s not the only feature, but it’s one I use often.
