    This sounded like an ominous privacy warning lol!

      Your actual browsing of lemmy is moderately private, provided you trust your server.

      But nothing else is. By design, it’s pretty easy for anyone who wants to track activity on any federated platform to do so. They’re extremely open.

        provided you trust your server.

        You shouldn’t.

        especially if you run it yourself. If you don’t have a loaded sawed off sitting near your server rack in case the machine spirit within grows too strong, you aren’t servering correctly.

            Hits home. I have a friend in sales, he got a connecter door lock the other day. There’s no way any of these get to my door in this life

              I’ve been considering adding a wireless door lock to my place, but my home automation platform is entirely self hosted and doesn’t reach out to the net for basically anything.

                My home automation consists only of (self-hosted and fully local) Home Assistant and some smart outlets I’ve flashed with ESPHome open-source firmware. I found some Nanoleaf Matter/Thread smart bulbs a few days ago on clearance, but even though I got them super cheap I’m debating on whether to return them because i’m not sure if I can trust them without being able to flash an open-source firmware.

                  I’m running HA too, but I’m rocking zigbee stuff with a bit of zwave for outside stuff. Works so well (when I properly program it anyway 🤣)!

                  with matter devices, you can possibly do some fun networking, and block them from reaching the outside world completely. then you just need to trust your firewall
