A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I think what most people disagree with, is that the active choice from AMD to not fix a very fixable issue, is a choice they know leaves customers is a seriously bad position. This is something they choose to do to their customers, because they could just as well choose to help them.

they could just as well choose to help them.

I think that's what I have a hard time believing. If they could "just as well" help, it is my belief that they also would. Because I don't think they're morons. I think they know this hurts their reputation. There has to be some obstacle, be it financial or lack of man power or... something. That is my belief.

Don't you (all) think that sounds more likely than them just leaving their customers in the dark for no other reason than not having to do work?

Of course there's a financial reason, they've probably done a cost/benefit analysis and decided that it's financially better to screw over those customers than to spend money fixing it. But that's exactly the issue!

I mean... 🤷‍♂️ The analysis is made, decision made. I probably have an affected system but... What's the real risk for private end users? Should I really be so concerned?

Should you really be concerned about a system that can be physically ruined by malware? I would say definitely yes...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I haven't had malware on any of my computers for 20+ years. 🤷‍♂️ Ever since I stopped clicking on shitty links on shitty sites and downloading shitty files with unknown contents and such behavior. I don't think I'm worried. I'm not the target group for these kinds of attacks, I think.
