A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

It is WAY better to over report than under report. I don't want vendors to have a lot of ability to say "nope that's not a security problem, sweep it under the rug".

To a point. Ever heard of the boy who cried wolf?

"What if the boy who cried wolf got lucky and didn't get eaten in the end"? Seems to have missed the point of the parable a bit.

"A liar who lies repeatedly won't be believed" is definitely equivalent to "A company conservatively warned that one of their products was dangerous in some specific situations."

Hanging out with you sounds really fun.

That's... not the point either. The point is that "reporting false positives isn't a bad thing" is only true up to a point. The discussion is then "is this before or after that point." Which, given the context of the bug, isn't really a given. But I don't want to have that discussion with you anymore because you're annoying.

[–] SexyVetra@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I am annoying, but something being low-risk and not effecting most customers doesn't make it a "false positive".

If only we were still having the conversation.

This comment really crystallizes your nerd subtype. I may be a [6] but you from arguing with you, ya sound cute 💜

Enjoy your selfhosting journey!

I do not know what that means

Ever hear of the fable "The boy who cried wolf"?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

He cried Wolf and it turned out to be a fox. He gets a pass.
