• Ten years from Snowden revelations – what's next for Tor and privacy online?

  I’m not sure about the Tor project, but the closely-related Tails project (which is excellent, BTW) seems to be uncomfortably adjacent to far-left anarchist groups. Their website, https://tails.boum.org, is hosted by one such group, and on it they prominently link to another anarchist “collective” called RiseUp. Why are we okay with this kind of implicit endorsement of violence-adjacent groups? It should be just... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• very strange

  I noticed that the website url https://tails.boum.org/ was changed to https://tails.net/. Does anyone know why? Source: 8 months ago

• My Mother Found Out I was Installing Linux...

  If you pop this onto a USB you can leave a beautiful Windows installation on your computer unfettled with: https://tails.boum.org/. Source: 11 months ago

• How does this work in Proton?! I was told it's impossible...

  If you want to factor out your host machine entirely whilst surfing the web, have a look at https://tails.boum.org/ . Source: 12 months ago

• Is it possible for a skilled hacker or government to remotely access my computer?

  Tails is a security-focused Linux distro that (by default) only runs as a live-USB and is not meant to be used as a traditional daily-driver. As you've probably understood by now, it's a 'limited' system for the sake of security and privacy. At least it's assuring to have a far better protected distro than what distros like Arch/Debian/Fedora offer by default. Source: 12 months ago

• I need some pointers on cataloging audio files

  This may be useful: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Searching for a media tagging website like Tagspace but self-hosted and free

  Hydrus? It's not quite true "self-hosted" (more of a standalone program with the ability to be configured to accept external api requests) but with the api and external programs set to interface with it, you can sort of set it up that way. https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/.

• Embed url into downloaded file

  If you want a concrete recommendation, all I can say without knowing exactly what you're doing is: you should at the very least consider solutions other than editing the file. This could mean sidecar files (e.g. info.txt), containers with metadata (e.g. warc), database applications (e.g. hydrus, even though it's a mess), etc. Source: over 2 years ago

• Image library sorting solution.

  Hydrus (https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/)? Not necessarily self-hosted but it does have a docker image, and I think there's ways to turn it into a self-hosted solution (hydrus.app comes to mind). Source: almost 3 years ago

• Looking for a self-hosted Google photos alternative with tags

  Hey Data Curators, I need your advice! I've been using Google Photos to 'organise' my picture library for the past few years, but now I'd like to replace it. For many obvious reasons. What I need is something that I can host myself (like piwigo or lychee), with decent mobile support and reliable auto upload from android. As well as that I really fancy some kind of tag-based file management system on top of that,... Source: almost 3 years ago
