Huh. I just checked Fluffy, and it asks for location, camera, and phone. I just denied it everything but notifications, so VOIP won’t work, but all I use it for is chat rooms anyway.

In any case, it doesn’t look any better than Element, in that respect.

If Pocket ID and Passkeys are like most modern “solutions”, they ignore everything that isn’t web, or human. Have you hooked any services together using it? Like having Home Assistant authenticate against mpd?

Yeah, that sounds ideal. I’d prefer editing a file than administering through a web page.

I’m checking Authelia right now.

SSO is part, but not all, of the picture. There’s also multi-system passwords, for things like sudo, and non-web service authentication; most of the stuff like OAUTH is really hacky to make work outside of web environments.

I’ve considered Vault for some of the inter-service authentication, but there’s not broad support built into services and it’s yet another thing to mess with.

LDAP forms a good base for most use cases, and so keeping it as the source of truth is important for me. And then, as few other layers on top to get SSO. Authelia is looking like the best solution.

Caddy is anything but intimidating! If Authelia is anything like Caddy in ease of use, sign me up!

Yeah, I want to keep my LDAP. Whatever sits on top has to use it as a backend.

There’s also the going in got a glass of water and being found an hour later by your friend because you got such watching the sink drip :-)

I’m not down on potheads. They’re my favorite inebriated people. I wish I could join them on their journeys, but alas my genetics gifted me with a paradoxical reaction to THC.

Why? I didn’t say that they were , only that someone in Lemmy has told me they were. I’m still not due they didn’t. I explicitly said I had no idea. And I posted the link to the comment in question, so there’s no doubt that they exchange actually happened.

I’m not taking a position on 50501 until I know more.

I don’t know. I don’t use Element; I wasn’t aware it requested location service access. I switched to FluffyChat ages ago; it only asks for notification.

But that’s just for group chat. I’ve been using Jami lately, and it does ask for location access; that’s because it has a “share location” feature, that - if you use it - shows a little map with your location to the person you’re sharing with. Maybe Element has implemented something similar?

Yes! I’ve used that page extensively. It doesn’t, however, address SSO.

Thanks! Two for Authentik.

That’s the one I keep seeing and thinking, maybe I should try it. Thanks for the input!

Hmmm… Mayhap. IM(limited)E, there isn’t a lot of thinking going on, either.

My other favorite excerpt from ACGoG:

S: Are you hungry?
Y: No. Wait, do you mean hungry, like food, or hungry, like in a search for knowledge?
S: What the hell are you taking about?
Y: You asked if I was hungry.
S: Did I?
Y: Yes.
S: Well… are you?
Y: Am I what?

No. Well, I can link to the comment of the person who said they were Nazis:

Although, re-reading the thread, I’m no longer sure what @chakravanti@monero.town was saying. It looks like he may have been saying 50501 was protesting Nazis? I probably misinterpreted them. They gave no evidence, either way.

Yeah, I am only peripherally curious about them, so I haven’t yet done any legwork to see who’s behind it and what the values are.

I’m quite pragmatic about politics: I’d work with just about anyone to bring income disparity down, to fix problems with our version of capitalism, to address the Police Problem. Anyone who agrees we need to overhaul the election system in the US, and bring in proportional representation, RCV, eliminate the electoral college? I’d share a table with them on those efforts.

However, I feel as if joining a movement requires a bit of a deeper dive, as sympathetic issues can mask undesirable long term objectives. I don’t trust my gut instinct on these things.

That’s interesting; the integration with SMS is a nice feature. Thanks!

They’re out there. The Venn diagram of people still choosing IRC (as opposed to being forced to use it b/c that’s where the community is) is probably just a circle.

I was a big XMPP user back in the day, but because of the lack of multi-device message syncing and the really shoddy state of encryption, I wandered away. Plus, using XML for the protocol really geeked me out. XML is a document format, and per the spec, to be well-formed it needs to have an open and matching close tag. Jabber hacked around this by making a sort of infinite document - you get the open tag, but never the close tag - and it just felt really icky.

I understand a lot of these things have since been addressed. I don’t know if XMPP still uses that bastardized version of quasi-XML without a close tag. But other things have come along that I like more. About 6 months ago I started running a client on my desktop again, but like you, nobody I knew was still using it, and nobody new was advertising it as their connection info, so… yeah. After a few months, I stopped running the client.

@Nikelui is 100% right: a chat room may be private, but it’s not secure. Even in an encrypted room, every additional person you add reduces your security. I’m sure there’s some paper out there that studies this, and that the graph of # of members vs security is an inverse power ratio.

If it’s a public chat, there is no security.

However, with Matrix, if you run your own server and restrict access to your friends, at least you can be fairly certain your chat room isn’t being used to train an LLM, or to harvest information about you for advertising.

My mom chose all four of her husbands, leaving each one for the next - except for the last, who she was with until he died of Alzheimer’s.

After my mom, my dad married a woman he’s been with since. They’re perfect for each other.

According to my mom, her last husband was “the one.” She was with him longer than the other three, combined, and by all accounts they were good happy together. I didn’t know him that well; they married long after I’d left home and was moving around the world living my own life.

I only wish I’d evolved it much earlier.

For most of my career, I haven’t really needed it. I was a computer programmer for ages, and there were no to-do lists, aside from natural ones that fall out from trying to get from here to there. It was moving to management that really exposed my need for a process.

todo.txt isn’t so much of a process as a data format, but it worked. The big evolution came with executive lists, which I read about on Lemmy of all places. I believe EL doesn’t really cover more than the EL itself; combining them was my innovation, although I’m certain I’m not the first to come up with it. I can’t imagine effectively doing it on paper.

Someone on Lemmy said they’re a thinly disguised front for neoliberals, or libertarians, or something. I didn’t look into it.

It seems to be more than a flash in the pan, though, so I should probably figure out what they’re about.

Edit see below, they weren’t claiming 50501 were associated with Nazis.
