I am a software engineer living and working in Belgrade, Serbia. My hobbies contain a lot of things including cycling, bikepacking, photography and quantum computations.
All the photos in my posts are made by myself (if not specified other) and are shared under CC-BY 4.0.
And that is very strange for me. Under the news about AI-search from OpenAI I asked about comparison with AI-search from Kagi, but got a lot of downvotes and a link to the post where the author express his negative opinion about AI.
My question was about benefits of openai search compared to kagi search. How is this link related to my question?
What are benefits of using openai search when we already have Kagi that is much more privacy a friendly, is ads free and provides the same functionality?
What do you think, how long should we wait until the overflow in the debts database makes the value negative?
I think it can be done like a NFTs on top of Bitcoin. In this case evey archived page is NFT and all the blockchain is available, so there is no centralized cite. If each action will require some computations (PoW) then ddos attack or spam attack will be very hard to implement.
I think that proof-of-work approach to blockchain can make ddos attacks much harder, but I’m not an expert too :)
Sounds like a potential application for a blockchain techs, that allows to do verifications, voting and consensus.
It supports via GMS sandbox. So, I can install google camera, maps, bank app, insta360 app, an app for my bike computer, etc. But in that case I prefer to use Proton VPN that hides my real IP from all these apps and also block some tracker endpoints.
I have Pixel with GrapheneOS and I tried most of FOSS camera apps, but all of them are still far behind the GCam. I hope one day there will be a good replacement, but not today.
I’m using Organic / OsmAnd for most of use cases and daily navigation. But if you need to find a specific office, shop, food or ATM nearby you still need GMap from time to time…
And for the latter problem, don’t use such apps except in closed environments or without internet access.
While that is a right answer, I do not want to avoid such apps because I need them. I need my mobile bank app, I need google camera, sometimes I need Google maps, etc. For me using VPN to hide my real IP from greedy apps and to hide DNS requests from the cracked public WiFi is still a good tradeoff between security, privacy and my own user experience.
But most spots don’t have the resources or expertise to analyze and sell or otherwise misuse your logs.
Most spots don’t have also the resources or expertise to secure their own spot. As I remember, cheap routers used in public places may contain a lot of vulnerabilities.
encrypted DNS
Will it help me if I’m using LbreTorrent do download piracy content on my phone? Or how it would help me to hide my location from mobile apps that extract location from IP?
As I can understand from EFF articles, the problem is not only in MAGA guys and their conspiracy but in KOSA proposal itself.

For me the problem is more in GPL violation: they distribute blobs under GPL3, user made a request of the source code by creating an issue, but they ignored that request. It is not only about “you have to fix it” versus “just fork it” imo.
Problem of Proton Drive is not only in the missing linux client. There is no support of WebDAV that makes integration with many open source tools (like note taking apps or photo management tools) almost impossible. Nextcloud is much better for me. Without a WebDAV (or one of other popular APIs) it looks like an attempt to create “walled garden” with vendor-lock on Proton, imo.
I asked the same question in c/privacy, you may find some answers useful: https://lemmy.ml/post/15694049 For myself I chose plausible
tldr?
For me an AI topic is the hottest
