If only Lemmit accepted new subreddits, this would have been a no-issue…

I’ll miss some subreddits 🤷‍♂️

All this makes sense… Instilled fear and paranoia for generations… and now they collect the fruit of it… people are afraid that Iran will nuclear bomb them (with a bomb that Iran doesn’t have) if they don’t final solution Iran

For sure, you need a public (dynamic) IP for this.

NAT sucks, been there, done that… ugh! And, yeah, nothing can be done short of some sort of proxing that adds latency and unreliability

You need static IP only if you want to host the autoritative DNS server for your domain (spoiler alert: you don’t).

You don’t need to proxy your traffic via VPS (higher latency for no good reason) and the dyndns providers are over priced.

What you need is:

• Buy your domain
• Use a free DNS provider (I used for years the excellent dns.he.net but it is a bit cumbersome. Nowadays I gave up and I now use cloudflare without any proxying, just pure DNS)
• Point your registrar to the dns provider
• use ddclient to update the IP of a domain entry (e.g. server.example.com)
• add as many CNAME as you want that point to that entry (so you can have stuff like Jellyfin.example.com www.example.com Nextcloud.example.com)

That’s all… ddclient will update that single dns entry every time your server restarts (or the IP lease expires and you get a new IP)

The only thing you need to pay here is the domain (you can get free domains but that is another story and tbh I would not recommend, there are cheap domains out of there)

Or afraid… that given how military power is distributed… is not something that unfounded

The only explanation I have is dog whistle for some sort of “western supremacy“ 🙄

ChromeOS was exactly mean for that

Yeah and I think it’s a pity. It’s the byproduct of “app culture” everything has to be easy. One button, plug and play…

Unfortunately like many things in life “saving” (time and effort n this case) has a cost

Unfortunately even the best intentioned and best audited project can be compromised. So that is not a guarantee (sure, much better than closed source but that is a given)

You may be forced by a rubber hose attack (or legal one) to insert vulnerabilities in your code… and you have the traffic… a single point to attack… signal/proton/etc

Is it possible with two different vendors? Sure it is but it is way more complicated

Call me old fashioned but I really think that for real E2EE the vendor of the encryption and the vendor of the infrastructure should be two different entities.

For example PGP/GPG on <any mail provider>… great! Proton? Not great

Jabber/XMMP with e2ee encryption great! WhatsApp/Telegram/signal… less so (sure I take signal over the other two every day… but it’s enough to compromise a single entity for accessing the data)

Like asking for asylum? How do you imagine immigration pans out? (Not emigration, sure, that is the easy part)

Do you realise that the wast majority of conscripts is doing office job. When you take the decision option 1 is more “doing office job unless you are unlucky”. And even there, likely the people that commit suicide and/or develop PTSD are not people that rape (they are doing just fine and happy to go for another mission)

Option 2 is only if you have two citizenships (and the other is not Russian like the majority of Israeli people) otherwise you can’t really move

Cool, what would you do? Desert? (And go where?) Commit suicide?

Israeli army is significantly made of conscripts. Men need to serve at least 3 years compulsory military service, women 2 years.

And I am sure not all of them support the government. I would go as far as the one with PTSD and committing suicide are the ones that less support the talking points of the government
