Looks cool :)

typing tests

How can I say… My Android keyboard is probably lacking the proper dictionary and is probably less reactive than the native app installed by default. Not sure this test can be accurately (even professionally) tested on any device :/.

Even a typing test on a keyboard is odd. My grandma surely gonna fail this test and not because she’s old, but because she doesn’t know where the different keys/letters are placed on the keyboard.

Or am I missing something here?

when my girlfriend’s build pipeline finishes

😂😂

Tell me how it went :) curious if it worked out !

Oh yeah so not bragging arround and/or exposing a public jellyfin/ember/plex instance?

Some people will probably disagree with me but I consider Debian stable as a server distribution not as a daily drive system.

Debian testing is probably the better choice if you want to daily drive Debian or consider or more up to date distro. If you’re relatively new to GNU/Linux, don’t bother with bleeding edge distros or exotics ones like Arch, EndeavourOS, Gentoo, NixOS…

If you find your way to distrowatch.com you will see EndeavourOS very high in the rankings, but it’s a rolling release distribution. While it’s easier to maintain/install than Arch, it has a learning curve and needs regular attention and reading the docs/forum.

I have seen a lot of people recommend the following:

• Linux mint
• Pop! OS
• Fedora
• OpenSUSE

If you only want to find duplicates give czkawka a try. It has a nice GUI too.

I don’t know how good it is for music duplicates I only used it to find duplicate pictures and worked very well !

That was an interesting read and saddening at the same time. I feel so sorry for the poor guy and all other email selfhoster.

Kind of curious here and sorry for my lack of understanding in IP stack, but isn’t IPv6 going to somehow mitigate that issue?

Isn’t there any other protocol that actually would circumvent that censorship? Like something like I2P? Or is it impossible to forward that kind of traffic over to it?

The internet is already a cesspool of censorship for “security” reason and it’s getting worse over time. Do you have any clue where or how we can join a community/group that somehow fights back those kind of unfair and monopoly behavior of big tech companies ?

Thank you !

One person but 10 fingers to write the code. That’s a lot of guys at work here.

They mostly don’t give a fuck about what you download. Just don’t share the stuff forward.

That’s a no go in the P2P community. Leeching is bad for the whole network and for everyone else. Especially on public torrents.

Went 2 weeks there:

• First week was only about diving and was probably the most beautiful thing I will ever see in my life.

• Second week was about visiting the monuments and while they are astonishing cultural and historical bangers (except the pyramids which are impressive from the outside but just some dull stones in the inside) people living there (even those running restaurants or hotels) are invasive as fuck and not worthile your time…

However we also rentend an airbnb for 2 days and even if the room was clean it looked a bit gloomy but the guy was very nice and friendly we even ate a pizza with him and watched a local TV movie (some sharknado rip from their country XD). It was a way better experience than In a stared hotel with all commodities…

In general, going the tourist way is mostly a bad experience in every country.

If you’re running an Android phone, there’s RethinkDNS which can block every requests except those explicitly allowed by yourself on the DNS level and firewall your traffic based on your rules.

It’s very customizable but It’s not that easy to get it right. You can even hook up your own wireguard tunnel and add block lists similar to uBlock.

If you want to dig deeper into the DNS blocking you can have a look at PCAPdroid which allows you to peek into wich app does what on the DNS level. While it works without rooting your phone, if you want to use it in combination with your VPN, you need root access.

Thanks for the tip !! I will certainly give it a look, It’s kinda annoying for my family members to always connect via wireguard.

For me it’s fine though, I even route my traffic to ProtonVPN but my family is always nagging how they need to “do something” to get access to the hosted services or that it “doesn’t work”.

Except that everything is under your control and not managed by a third party, not much I think.

If this setup works for you and you’re happy with it, just keep it going.

If you have time to spare, want to learn new things, tinkerer arround with network security, certificates, DNS, reverse proxy and, and, and… You can give it a try in a virtual machine and docker containers. But keep in mind that’s not an easy way and involves a lot of personal time before you get a GOOD working self-hosted / exposed services.

I wouldn’t recommend to open any port on your router except for a secured tunnel like wireguard and connect to your services through that tunnel. Opening port 443/80 on your router is bound to some heavy automated scanning and brute force by bots. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge/tool/hardware, this is just going to put you at risk of ddos and remote attacks.

That’s way something like cloudflare is populare, they most of the time take care of that nuisance and also why something like wireguard is popular among the selfhosting community.

Yeah… But not sure I2P could handle a big influx of new users over night. This will probably break the whole project if all the piracy community would switch.

But it’s very very slowly growing, I hope they are prepared for such a case.

people cared about the environment

It might be true for people, but I heard that’s not true about their politics in general.

As long as the EU doesn’t reinvent the wheel, why not? I mean if they are going to fork Linux and rewrite a EU-based linux OS, this would further divide the community and make issues and security a lot more wacky… Not sure this is a good idea.

Lutris + wineprefixes works great but most of the time it’s harder to configure and needs some search around the web to get it right !

Non-steam games with proton on steam works like nearly every time without to much hassle (if supported) !!

If you’re afraid of your account ban, create a dummy steam account only for your pirated games.

If you’re tired of python’s and venv issues, give miniconda a try. It solved most of my issues with dependencies and different python version in scripts.

It’s probably a skill issue regarding to pip/pipx/venv… But miniconda really made everything easier.

What about exFAT? It overcomes FAT32’s limitation and is nearly readable on every OS and has way higher file size limits.

Edit: In case of external storage like USB/hard drive.

Hahaha… What a stupid take. Yeah scientific research isn’t biased and hasn’t been poisoned by conflict of interest… never has been and never will I guess? Scientific research is the ultimate truth of wisdom and you don’t need your own critical thinking anymore 😮‍💨 (Yeah the tobacco industry was right, smoking is healthy !)

when the researchers themselves are saying the work isn’t over. why are all the super geniuses in this thread so smugly announcing this topic is wrapped up?

It’s better to be safe than sorry

Edit:

Therefore, the fact that no evidence for large-scale mobile eavesdropping has been found so far should not be interpreted as an all-clear. It could only mean that it is difficult – under current circumstances perhaps even impossible – to detect such attacks effectively.

Scientific enough?
