nix, I understand. But gentoo is superb for learning and those looking to learn. Wait were you just trying to entice people with the ‘don’t eat of the forbidden fruit’ stuff? I really don’t even know what the last line means though–surely there was a typo

This is amazing! Great work!(InstallGentoo)

What’s more open than open source? Open sesame-> Software that grants root access to your most secret files

Speak english doctor! But really is this a fancy way of saying its ok to docker all the things?

Thanks for DM tip, I didn’t think about it, but I guess that explains the need for something like the matrix protocol. Only thing i’ve ever hosted myself was a simplex chat smtp/xftp server on a vps. I basically just closely followed a guide from simplifiedprivacy with a readymade script and already knew how to ssh into stuffs. Do you recommend hosting a one person instance strictly as an experiment to verify that nothings being tracked? Or would concentrating my lemmy/piefed use strictly through a self-hosted one person instance account help to ensure nothing but what I’m ‘intentionally doing’ is tracked? I’m looking to get sold on hosting, but I’m also not really in a spot to waste money on another vps just for fun.

Also I really need a good resource to finally stop confusing privacy/anonymity/other similar security concepts. Thank you greatly for the patience and help

Thank you for the critical info–for tech-dummies like myself that still wish to use piefed in a most private/secure way, would it be better to use a non-default instance? Please advise on anything else that can be done as best practices here please

I’m seeing great discussions around fediverse tools’ level of privacy.
Can anyone speak to how different it is to trust meta/twitter/google in comparison to say the flagship piefed.social or some equivalent lemmy instance of best reputation? (I know this is more of a security Q, but yeah)

What is meant by ‘potential drop of old.reddit’?

The situation does seem quite desperate. I’d like to heed your call. Please advise on most critical systems I should have ready right now today please. I know have a lot of work to do and must stay efficient

So you’re saying if I pivot to windows, I can find a real job?
