  • NAT provides no firewall features and we can have a discussion about how wrong that statement is

  • TOR VPN

    Jump
  • Yeah, they should publish on f-droid or direct APK as well

    EDIT: Just remembered the new android "feature" that restricts what apps you can install from off the play store to Google approved ones...still worth doing for those of us on AOSP OSes

  • Graphene supports running GMS in a sandbox like any normal app. That's what I do as there are too many apps in the play store I need

  • Can't disagree there. I don't even use it, I just prefer when people take a stand

  • Tbf they say windows is WIP and they support Mac which has an even lower bar than windows IMO

  • This is a mistake, they should just refuse service in all markets that do this, that's the only way you get enough public backlash to make a change

  • With XMPP all messages are relayed through your server of choice

  • I never said you couldn't, just that it doesn't work that way now

  • Because with Lemmy's architecture darknet sites could not federate with clearnet sites as the end user's browser fetches content directly from the federated instances.

  • The problem is if this gets adopted on a large enough scale not even Tor will save us, all the exit nodes will be subject to censorship. Tor only works because there are some countries which have totally free and open internet. Unless you're talking about moving completely to the darknet.

  • That's cool. Mine is just an interpreter for execution but it has breakpoints, watchpoints, and save states. I've thought about trying to do some form of JIT or at least AOT but I haven't yet made an attempt. Besides for a debugger that's counter productive.

  • 🤔 that reminds me of the brainfuck debugger I wrote. Good fun

  • I love how mastodon is on here as if that is trivial to block. Guess you can block the official upstream distribution but blocking all instances would be a nightmare

  • LMAO this is really amusing. I hope it does some good but I doubt it

  • Glad to see I'm not the only one checking for a AAAA. Looked like a cool and useful site /s but I only use sites with v6.

  • Page claims to be IPv6 ready...does not actually have an IPv6 address. This isn't a meme, this is a crime

  • This reminds me of prop 65. It's so broad that everything is labeled as causing cancer to the point of being a worthless label. I suspect this will have a similar problem on top of the privacy ones

  • The reason for initramfs is because if you build your block or filesystem drivers as modules the kernel can't boot without loading the modules and can't load the modules without said modules and therefore causing a chicken and egg problem. Reading a folder without all necessary boot drivers just isn't possible. That's why the bootloader is responsible for loading initramfs into system memory, the kernel can read it with 0 drivers required. Getting rid of it can be done but ALL of your boot drivers need to be statically linked into the kernel image so that the kernel doesn't need any modules to get the rootfs mounted. Ironically EFI can be used to obsolete initramfs in theory since the kernel can read data from the ESP without any drivers being required so putting modules in a folder on the ESP would work for EFI enabled systems

  • You definitely can do this. Unless this is an extremely recent change or only done outside the US
