  • Not the person who commented, but:

    Wanderer on the the other hand, seems to be designed as a planning and tracking app for single trips. Correct me if I am wrong.

    You aren’t wrong, but I’m going to try reitti for single tracks anyway, because 1) wanderer has introduced some serious breaking changes that prevent me from upgrading and 2) I think reitti would fit my use case of sort of hybrid between GPS always on and single tracks.

    I’m a bit of a GPS nerdin the sense that I collect my trips. Car, hike, walk, plane, ferry… I just think it’s neat so see where i’ve traveled.


  • Maybe you should clarify who you mean by “they”.

    But the mail flow goes into your gmail inbox and is analyzed when it it lands. How does this prevent google from reading your mail received by the gmail account?

    Also, my comment about headers still stands: you can pull the email from a pop or IMAP mailbox, host it wherever you want, but the headers will always show how the mail was routed, dmarc, dkim, etc. unless you rewrite the headers in this process.

    Edit: just FYI, pop and imap are not options for protonmail, unfortunately. They only allow their own client and their own “bridge”.





  • This is a self-hosted sub. You are going to see a lot of anti-establishment, anti-corporation stuff here because it’s a core principle and/or concern of many users looking into self-hosting. That tends to come with attached behaviors like you described.

    While I would tend to agree that it’s unfortunate that you have to wade through a lot of folks knee-jerk blanket commenting on certain topics, and that those screeching comments are annoying, Lemmy is generally a big tent, so you will need to accept their presence, the same way we have to just ignore all the AI Slop software presented here.

    The price of freedom is accepting the screechers.





  • In the days of 3G, this was possible. However, LTE and 5G networks will not allow uncertified modems to connect. If you’ve ever been through getting a Mikrotik LTE router on a North American network, you’ll recognize that pain.

    Using Mobian (very real, BTW), or PostmarketOS are your best bets at the moment. Easier to reverse-engineer drivers than to go through the hoops of certification.









  • Most selfhosted projects do not store such private data.

    That is patently not true, in the self-hosted space or otherwise.

    If you want to take some kind of the security stance on pii or other personal data, you may want to take a look at the app’s workflow first before making declarations of “inadequate security”. There are other considerations than simply slapping a self-signed cert on data in transit (or at rest, for that matter). URL encoding, secrets management, api structure, etc.

    If you want to architect the security of your data using this app, it is much easier to simply encapsulate or encrypt the transport yourself. A VPN would be fine. An authentication proxy would be another.

    Ultimately, your comments on security here need more and better context to meet a reasonable threshold of confronting the dev on it.
