But it’s not, they’re not doing actual piracy there, they’re talking about it, and that’s very much not illegal
Just tried to create an account on fedia.io, which is the biggest of the mbin instances (at just about a bit above 4K users, so not THAT much), and it just could NOT take the registration, all i get is “429 Too Many Requests”, after multiple tries. I suspect that says the instance is woefully underpowered for the traffic it’s handling
But that’s what the marketers are selling, “this will replace a lot of workers!” and it just cannot
Just noticed that said user had posted numerous memes here, and now they added a post description complaining about this to each and every one of them
This is by no means a vital service, but Imgur. Not the image hosting part itself, although the multiple self-hosted alternatives available are mostly aimed at photographs and surprisingly very few if any to memes and reactions for chats, forums and social media. On the other hand, the particular use case of sharing memes and meme dumps is not being fulfilled by anything else at the moment. Go to Imgur even on it’s current sorry decayed state and at any time you’ll find multiple people sharing image galleries, usually of up to 50 memes at a time, sometimes more. Lemmy, Mastodon and Discord servers try to fill that gap but right now they can’t.
Persistent apps running in the background. One constant complaint many have is background apps that should be left alone killed by battery-saving stuff. One of the ways to prevent this from happening that devs have used is persistent notifications. Killing this option fucks up lots of apps that are supposed to run in the background. I guess i’ll stay away from Android 14 for now.
I hope this breaks the games on Deck so that people notice
Any background on why he didn’t say the speech?
For the needs of “degoogled but fully functional Android OS” these days at the end of 2023, the options are LineageOS for most phones, GrapheneOS on a Pixel, and that’s it? Or are there more projects at this point?
Correct!
VPNs were never intended to make you anonymous, if you expected a VPN to make you anonymous you were very mistaken
Tangential partial offtopic aside: Unless i’m misunderstanding, you’re setting this up behind your home router and allowing it on your various devices using a VPN. Am i right? Any details, or even better, guides, on how to replicate this setup? I guess the DNS records on Leng are to be able to call services inside your home LAN by name instead of IPs, which is a nice quality of life upgrade.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
Troy Hunt, the Have I Been Pwned person, has a very informative analysis of the breach that was not a breach, turns out nothing actually “leaked” from Linkedin, it’s a mix of scrapped and generated stuff
