I did the same thing until I switched to Geruda Linux a few weeks ago. Neat arch based distro that is optimized for gaming. When I bought a laptop I explicitly chose the DIY Framework laptop so I didn't have to purchase Windows and have been running Fedora on that for years without issues.
Remember those horrible toolbars? Those were a problem on all browsers and reinstalled themselves automatically unless you fully purged them from your pc. I don't think Chrome ever supported toolbars, that was actually a feature back then
I don't know specific vulnarabilities but they either exist already or can be discovered at any moment without being patched. Not installing stuff yourself doesn't make you safe, just less unsafe.
In a lot of cases it's cheap and fun, but it can also be time consuming and easy to mess up. Hosting your own mail server for example is probably not worth it for most people.
Yeah this is why I don’t get the selfhosting communities dislike of cloudflare.
There’s the chance they turn on us in the future, but for now they seem pretty reliable. Now if it’s a dislike of centralization to a single company? I can understand that.
I think that's exactly what people are concerned about. Any company that turns into a monopoly should be looked at with suspicion.
Ik wil best geloven dat Wilders echt tegen geweld is. Hij is geradicaliseerd na de moord op Fortuyn en Van Gogh en wordt zelf ook continu bedreigd, dus hij weet hoe klote geweld is. Het kan natuurlijk zijn dat hij hypocriet is en stiekem dit geweld mooi vind, maar ik zie geen reden dat aan te nemen. Dat hij dit wel veroorzaakt is natuurlijk een tweede. Blijkbaar voelt hij zich er totaal niet verantwoordelijk voor.
