most fediverse software does not collect precise geolocation though, which is why this point was brought up

A bit cringe on the “we’re white collar thugs and we will bully you until you do as we say”,

but isn’t it 100% true?

unless another federated instances synced them

I don’t think the homeserver tries to fetch media remotely that was local but since deleted

we often talk about how discord is a black hole of information, but this is worse than that

how long did it take to write this all down?

Eh, if it’s an open-source application where you can review the code to confirm that the software isn’t tracking you, then it’s not an issue.

you can’t review what’s running on the actual server, what did your local admin add to it.

like the possibility to completely disable the data lines in the USB port

the fairphone 4 can do that, calyxos makes use of it

what would you consider a better vendor? samsung, xiaomi, oneplus? those all have been plenting more and more malware into their phones from the factory, sometimes making it seem like a feature, and recently they started to bar owners from replacing the OS on it by taking away the option to unlock the bootloader

how will the parent do the parenting when the kid can do whatever on the phone given to them when the parent is not around?

parental control software is (supposed to be) what it says it on the tin: software that lets the parent to set up limitations on the device.

built in parental controls are supposed to be options, that the owner can opt into and out of it.

not imprison them, but maybe taking away or limiting child support. but that will 100% not work with the rich.

forcing the parents to install parental control software… that would be like, here are these approved options, and you like it or not you must use them despite their privacy policies.
instead commercial operating systems (windows, googlified android) could be required to have parental controls built in, and free software systems could apply for funding to implement it, or some other kind of collaboration.

but this is not capitalistic so it wont happen.

afaik parental controls do not exist on degoogled android. windows has it with third party tools, linux does not have any

are the media files redownloaded from other servers when someone tries to load them? I guess all local media is lost forever, but maybe not remote ones

Make regular backups of the DB.

tbh that should apply to any kind of selfhosted service, especially when its not only for you

I don’t know, I would not recommend kubernetes to most people not already familiar with it, but especially to beginners. It’s too many moving parts, and fir most selfhosted setups, its capabilities are not needed I think.

ok, but who is the target audience for that? I am interested now

the Department of War does not do war, only military operations! that would be a good joke if people wouldn’t be dying

it was just a joke, to the “one more dashboard” part :D its fine

soo… servers your router doesn’t like for whatever reason blocked for everyone else? with gov ID checks? why would we want that?

and how is this a dashboard idea?

wonderful! now somebody needs to rewrite this in Rust and we are done!

no… you misu… I have not just found it, of course! I am bringing it from the most delicate source of pills!

what is a broker?
