In other words, can any user delete its data on its will and is there something that will remove its data from all the connected activitypub services? I believe this should actually be a basic feature and pretty much a requirement.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday ⁠to take up the issue of whether art generated by artificial intelligence can be copyrighted under U.S. law, turning away ​a case involving a computer ​scientist from Missouri who was ​denied a copyright for a piece of visual art made by his AI system.

Plaintiff Stephen Thaler had appealed to the justices after lower courts upheld a U.S. Copyright Office decision that the AI-crafted visual ⁠art ‌at issue in the case was ineligible for copyright protection ⁠because it did not have a human creator.

Thaler, of St. Charles, Missouri, applied for a federal copyright registration in 2018 covering “A Recent Entrance to Paradise,” visual art he said his AI technology “DABUS” created. The image shows train tracks entering ‌a portal, surrounded by what appears to be green and purple plant imagery.

The Copyright Office rejected his application in 2022, finding that creative works must have human authors ​to be eligible to receive a copyright. U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration had urged the Supreme Court not to hear Thaler’s appeal.

Hi,

I want to make some of my services (like Nextcloud, Immich, Komga, Jellyfin and FreshRSS for example) on my home server easier accessible from remote. For that I want to use a VPS where I install Nginx and Wireguard on it and establish a VPN connection between it and my homeserver. So far so good.

My first question: For the services that I don't want to expose for remote access over that setup, can I just keep my Nginx instance that I have running now for these services. For example my budgeting service is available under finance.example.com as long as I'm in the same network as my home server right now. Would that still be possible when I have 2 Nginx instances running (one on the VPS and one on the home server directly) or would I need to configure it differently for that to work?

My second question:
Do I need to install Fail2Ban on my VPS or can I also install it on my homeserver?

Hi Peeps.

Firstly I know I don't need a VPN for Real Debrid. I like to use them anyway, for extra safety.

Ok we have been using RD with a VPN for about 5 years, usually with Kodi etc. We moved to Stremio about a year or so ago and all was fine up until about a week ago when I kept on getting "Source Error" on my streaming box, which is a Thomson 270, a version of the Onn box.
If I change the VPN destination everything works again, but only for a few days.

Now here's the thing, if I use the same set up of Stremio RD and VPN on my android phone I get absolutely no blocks and no issues at all. The same goes for my PC.

So the issue is only happening on the Thomson.
Does anyone have any ideas why?

Microsoft’s aggressive AI push in Windows 11 through 2025 brought upon themselves the title Microslop. Unfortunately for the company, it’s everywhere on social media, and there isn’t a way to stop the spread, unless, of course, it’s their own Discord server.

Some may have believed they were against AI being used for war. They just don’t want it to make the final kill decision.

The argument given by those supporting them is that AI in the military was inevitable, so their position is a reasonable one.

I have created a tech content platform with thousands of tech feeds from individual bloggers, open source projects and enterprises.

The content is organised into spaces. In the Selfhosted space, you can find the latest articles about selfhosted apps. In each space you can control the filtering with a threshold parameter.

There is also an RSS feed that you can subscribe to: https://insidestack.it/spaces/selfhosted/rss

I have some old HFS formatted burned CDs burning in toast on a classic mac. A friend needs his stuff moved off these backups onto his NAS but his modern mac cannot read these CDs. I can mount them in linux manually but the filenames have illegal characters so I cannot copy them over to anything without losing like half of them.

How to I copy these files off the CDs?

Playing around with a new self-host NAS OS, finally thought about Tailscale. But, I see it wants a login to an account. Checking online, seems I have to use Google, Apple, MS, Github or OIDC (which iassume costs money based on the site).

So how tf y'all setting to your tail scale stuff? I'm not using a big brother us tech account for auth on this thing. Think I'd rather go back to regular wireguard if that's the case.

Edit: OK I see you can use regular email. It didn't load the webpage correctly the first time or I missed it. Odd. Anyway, I do don't want an account add I don't want to risk any data compromise at some point
