  • Synology is like Ubiquity in the self-hosted community: sure it's self-hosted, but it's definitely not yours. End of the day you get to deal with their decisions.

    Terramaster lets you run your own OS on their machine. That's basically what a homelabber wants: a good chassis and components. I couldn't see a reason to buy a Synology after Terramaster and Ugreen started ramping out their product lines which let you run whatever OS you wanted. Synology at this point is for people who either don't know what they're doing or want to remain hands-off with storage management (which is valid; you don't want to do more work when you get home for work). Unfortunately, such customers are now out in the lurch, so TrueNAS or trust some other company to hold your data safe.

  • Alpine isn't exactly fortified either. It needs some work too. Ideally you'd use a deblobbed kernel with KSPP and use MAC, harden permissions, install hardened_malloc. I don't recall if there's CIS benchmarks or STIGs for Alpine but those are very important too. These are my basic steps for hardening anything. But Alpine has the advantage of being lean from the start. Ideally you'd compile your packages with hardened flags like on Gentoo but for a regular container and VM host that might be too much (or not - depends on your appetite for this stuff).

  • Your complaint is genuine and I assure you that the sentiment is shared amongst many people here. I do not like that sub for its excessively tight policies. You must also consider that Reddit has its eye on that sub since it might spread awareness to other Reddit users and harm Reddit's bottom line.

    Either way, I stick to Lemmy and Kbin. Reddit doesn't let me create accounts over TOR and I2P anymore, which means I'm not going to be able to participate anyway.

  • I don't get it. Where is the idea that "Fedora focuses on security" coming from? Fedora requires an equivalent amount of work like other distros to harden it.

    I personally use Alpine because I trust busybox to have less attack surface than normal Linux utils

  • Unfortunately, you're done here. You're going to need a new number if you value your privacy. I can never trust any big company; you can try waiving GDPR in their faces all you want but with a spineless EU and too much power in such companies, you have to trust them to delete your data. I'm sure you realise that this is a silly venture.
