I'll go first: I got XMPP (Prosody) setup for the family.
Also, less this week (cheating a little), but I've setup all my services with SSL (self-hosted root CA), domain names, and (finally) a dashboard (Heimdall.)
Nice, same! Was also really positively surprised by how great the Android app(s) for XMPP feel.
We're on iOS and I wish I could say the same. Looking at the Android apps makes me very jealous.
Only thing not working yet for me is group chat creation. Oh well. Maybe this weekend.
What server software are you using? I went with Prosody and it felt pretty easy to setup the muc module for groups, but, on the other hand, I haven't gotten around to voice and video calls.
I've been meaning to do this for a while. Do you put ebooks in it too, or just audiobooks and podcasts? I've been using BookLore for my ebooks, and really like it -- I just wish it was a little faster.
I just found a security breach that can leak thousands of emails on a website!!
Today, I snooped around on a website I won't mention the name of for privacy reasons, and they assign your account an user ID when you register.
Well, with a very simple trick in the console I managed to get everyone else's email and account info (for example checking if they have a paid plan or not) by just lowering the user id, with no rate-limit on the endpoint!
So a bad actor could send targetted phishing emails to people by telling them there is a problem with their payment!
It's funny because on their homepage, they state they use "Military grade encryption" (whatever that means!), and their privacy policy says "We encrypt the transmission of that information" (does that just mean they do it over https?)
So, moral of the story, don't trust companies with your personal info!
I had been using a magic eraser (never on the screen) and have not yet suffered any ill effects as a result (although I also rarely clean my laptop at all), but I gather that this is not recommended any longer (if it ever was). Alcohol wipes are good for the screen, but not as effective for the keyboard and other non-screen ...
This is my theory about California and age verification. As soon as alternative mobile operating system are getting better there’s suddenly a law about operating systems requiring age verification? Maybe I’m just paranoid.
In Spanish class, we get Spanish names and can choose what we’d like to be called from a list. I’m Francisca (or Paca) because it’s similar to Francesca, my online name.
What's your self-hosting success of the week?

Forced age verification is comming sooner than we thought. ( youtu.be )

What's your addiction?
Every Terminal program should have a black background by default
My biggest gripe about the default GNOME settings. Are there any sickos that use black text on white?
How did you choose your username?
Violet (my birth flower) + 08 (my birth year). Pretty basic.
In language classes, did you choose your name or get assigned one? Or use your regular name?
