“Protecting our community," by destroying it. If you don’t have a community, then it can’t be toxic. Were the comments so bad that this was the only solution?

This sort of thing is the reason that the kernel has its own cve authority / cna now.

It’s interesting, that it would be hard to make a case that there was a “vulnerability” in the ip package. But it seems like this package’s entire purpose is input validation so it’s kind of weird the dev thinks otherwise.

Yes, input validation, probably for forms. What the Dev disputes is that he cannot see a case where it is used in a security critical way where

1. the input format is unknown and
2. it is essential to know if the IP is public or private.

I am shocked that Facebook employees even see this as a vulnerability. I always considered metadata the valuable part of WhatsApp.

Other formats can exceed that by caching & writing to multiple chips at once i guess.

I had at least hoped for FastStream. (Essentially bidirectional SBC for good quality audio while using the microphone)

Jitsi meet is the hosted service of the open source project provided by the developers. The proprietary variant is 8x8.com

https://heywillow.io/ seems to solve the voice recognition pretty well. I don’t know how good the home automation integration is, though.

For speech recognition there is also heywillow.io

You could say that email is federated, there are multiple implementations of mail servers.

Matrix does have a lot of unencrypted metadata, though, only the message contents are really private. That is not enough for some people.

That will also depend on if you include that in your subscription and pay for it. Some plans exclude that in the cheaper tiers if I remember correctly

Shocking, right? (/s) You don’t get what you do not pay for. OVH also offers private cloud hosting, basically managed servers in a cloud setup and normal hosting options. I have no idea, what the datacenter was primarily used for.

They used the cheap option without geographic mirrors.

At least you should be able to use your local password manager as well if you don’t care about keeping your 2fa on separate hardware. KeePass 2, KeePassXC, Bitwarden, …

Not if they start to limit you to 3 episodes of a particular series per week

It is not only the pandemic. Even before, during the last decade or so, they got the VC investments. Now with rising interest rates and the shift to AI capital is drying up for the web2.0 bubble.
