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?
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.
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.
Hi. I am currently pirating on a dedicated server (Debian 12) running i2p, jellyfin, qBittorrent-nox, and a vpn. I tried mullvad for a bit but need to get air VPN set up now. My current setup to actually get content to jellyfin is this:...
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.
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.
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.
I’ll start off by saying everyone’s economic situations are just as varied as their threat models and how people make decisions on which services can be specific to themself and not one that can apply to anyone else. The services one chooses to use for free or to pay for may be based more on what they can afford vs what’s...
I’m looking for a YR-DLP GUI for just music, or a good way to access music in general. I had a lidarr-on-steroids instance running but it kept disconnecting from deezer and i’d love to get that back up and running but it looks like it’s not supported any more. Yt-dlp looks like a decent enough plan B, but i’m open to...
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
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.
