Careful with wiping anything with the “boot” flag. That can backfire very badly depending on how your system is set up. Those are small anyways so i would just leave them and only kill the ntfs partitions and combine that space into an extra partition that you can store stuff in.

Resizing partitions is messy so if you want a clean setup with one big home partition i would just reinstall. You could also copy everything in the home partition to a backup drive and just try out resizing. If it breaks you can create a new home partition and copy everything back.

By slapping more AI on the open wound. Great…

ElementX (main mobile matrix client) has live location sharing that works in group chats. Be aware that any location sharing system that loads map data (tiles) from a server automatically leaks your location to that server. The only way to solve this would be to have all the map tiles required stored offline but I’m not aware of any solution that does this. The simplest way to achieve maximum privacy is to just have something that automatically shares just the coordinates as a text message at a regular interval then you can open those coordinates in an offline map app.

As you can see here, the map tiles are loaded from “MapLibre” when using ElementX or rather its cool fork SchildiChatNext. That means MapLibre would technically know roughly where you are and have been. All apps that dont prompt you to download large chunks of map data in advance will load map tiles on demand and expose your location.

after hackers hijacked a user account and gained access to public chat rooms.

The platform wasnt breached, a single account was taken over…

But then they write this:

While French officials described the breach as limited in scope, an alleged hacker claimed to have obtained 73,467 user accounts, 643,459 messages, 876 chat rooms with message history, 59,386 media files totaling 13.51 GB, and references to documents marked “Diffusion Restreinte,” a French government restricted-distribution classification. Access was allegedly gained through social engineering of an account associated with Tchap’s education environment.

So who knows, but i doubt they were able to take over that many accounts. That would mean there was actually a technical failure of the underlying auth or matrix stack.

Would be easy enough to print a custom case for this

Controlling the software is an integral part of the ethos of self hosting. Literally right in the first sentence of the wikipedia page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-hosting_(network)

Self-hosting is the practice of running and maintaining a website or service, as well as own servers for e-mail, IM, NTP and so on, using a private server, instead of using a service outside of the administrator’s own control. Self-hosting allows users to have more control over their data, privacy, and computing infrastructure, as well as potentially saving costs and improving skills.

instead of using a service outside of the administrator’s own control

Plex is outside of the administrators control.

They merely have control over a user interface that can be replaced.

If you have no control over it, that means plex isnt self hosted. The data is self hosted, but not the interface which is all that plex is at the end. You are basically just donating your hardware and data to a shitty company at that point.

Refer to the last line of my comment…

Mozilla is just completely mask off garbage now lmao
Like not even trying to be like “but its all on device” naah we just out here going full slop and privacy invasion.
Fuck anyone defending this shitty ass company at this point.

Do they have closed source stuff or what? They didnt touch on this aspect in the article at all. Why is source code leaking a concern for an open source project?

Its software packages required to build functional GNU/Linux operating systems. Yes.

Normal people just call all of this “linux” for simplicity, but annoying people keep feeling a need to point out the distinction.

Well yeah only 3% go to the kernel. Most of the rest seems to be going to everything else required for a functional OS. The kernel alone is fairly useless.

Your fingerprint is your fingerprint. If its possible to extract the raw data, then that can be reconstructed into your fingerprint…

Such cuties

Brave is shit. Either a firefox fork like librewolf or a completely different engine that is neither firefox nor chromium

Mozilla has been captured completely already, the new bosses are just turning up the heat slowly in an attempt to not scare too many users away. Im still gonna use a firefox fork for now but there is no future for mozilla unless some heads roll in their management.

Not public as in not hosted by yourself or people you personally know IRL and trust.

VPNs are just a piece of software running on some computer. The trust depends on the person running the server side software, so if you cant 100% trust that person then the VPN isnt trustworthy.

As i said when this news broke. There are no trustworthy public VPNs and claiming anything else is malicious.

Bold of them when they put enabled by default AI garbage in firefox without the communities consent.

This would be a lot more meaningful if mozilla leadership was positioned strictly against this shitty tech.
