  • What's happening to Invidious instances?

    Jump

  • https://docs.invidious.io/youtube-errors-explained

    Running a remote instance without some sort of IP rotation became infeasible. I've been running it locally since google started actively trying to kill invidious. The only reason that still works is because they want to avoid collateral damage that could affect other people in the household.

  • CBC Should Start Their Own Mastodon Server

  • The article is from 2022. I'm guessing if it was written today, it would be about bluesky.

  • Welcome to the rabbit hole of selfhosted note-taking apps. https://selfh.st/apps/?tag=Note-Taking

    Unfortunately, this is going to be a bit of a journey. You'll probably end up going through a few of these options until you find one that works for you and fits your workflow.

  • Xiaomi will reportedly end its global bootloader unlock program

    Jump

  • I think we can agree that most people will never need anything more than a midrange processor for average use and only overbuy due to marketing.

    Speaking only for myself, I've become accustomed to the snappiness of higher end processors and high refresh screens. All the screens I use on a daily basis are 120hz+ and even though I don't game on my phone, the benefits of having a high refresh rate screen has become a nice quality of life feature for me. I still have a 60hz phone that I test as a degoogled phone and the difference is quite noticeable.

    A high-end processor helps drive apps at those higher refresh rates and also just as important, it can brute-force some of the less-than-well optimized open source apps I rely on to interact with my self-hosted infrastructure.

    I can live with a lower-end phone but I'm willing to pay a bit more for features and performance that meet my standards.

  • If they stick with a Samsung manufactured 750G, it'll be limited to the low end market. There's nothing wrong with that but it's not really an option for the western mid to high end market.

  • Xiaomi will reportedly end its global bootloader unlock program

    Jump

  • I don't have any complaints with the 6 either other than the fingerprint reader being a downgrade compared to older models. I don't plan to upgrade until the 10/10a with a TSMC tensor and hopefully major improvements in performance and efficiency. Would be nice to have more choices without sacrificing this admittedly obscure principle.

  • I feel like I'm limited to pixel phones since they're the only widely available phone that doesn't void the warranty for unlocking the bootloader. I haven't tried roms in a few years but I like having that choice. Fairphones can be a little hard to get. Are there other options? Lineage support would be ideal.

  • In Leak, Facebook Partner Brags About Listening to Your Phone’s Microphone to Serve Ads for Stuff You Mention

    Jump

  • We literally have wireshark and similar utilities available to all of us to inspect every packet of data coming in to and leaving our phones. You can install pcapdroid right now to see exactly what facebook is doing and where that data is going. This is not complicated stuff.

    Now imagine the payday and notoriety that'll go to the security research firm that is doing this kind of work on a regular basis and is able to definitively prove it's happening. Why do you think that hasn't happened yet?

  • Or how about not assuming either way and waiting for proof before believing narratives. Anything else occupies the same space as conspiracy theories.

    The math on anyone always listening to everyone's phones doesn't add up and will not any time in the near future.

  • Telegram founder's arrest part of larger investigation into alleged child exploitation and drug trafficking 'complicity'

    Jump

  • Thanks for responding. This is why open source is great. You can use telegram or ntfy or gotify (in my case) to do the same thing and choose whatever works best for you.

  • [Gamers Nexus] "Is AMD (Radeon) Actually Screwed?" ft. Steve of Hardware Unboxed

    Jump

  • Unfortunately I don't think AMD (& Nvidia) care about GPU gaming market share when they'll be selling all the MI accelerators they can make using the same wafers at much higher profit margins.

    As consumers, we're going to have to get used to getting mediocre offerings at inflated prices until the AI hype dies down or they find a way to use some of the other manufacturing nodes to make competitive GPUs.

    I like what the Arc division has been doing lately, especially with Linux support. I am looking forward to what battlemage can bring to the table.

    Jump

  • We'll have to wait ~ 2 years since the next round of AMD cards are rumoured to be midrange cards. The Steves are right that if A.I is still as profitable for both AMD and Nvidia by then, expect prices to go up for any flagship. It wouldn't make any business sense not to.

  • Dealing with games that just won't run on Linux

    Jump

  • Absolutely this. It is becoming increasingly rare to find a game that doesn't work in linux (excluding stupid copy protection/anti-cheat implementations). We haven't reached the works-out-of-the-box stage but the combination of proton-ge/wine-ge with lutris or heroic provides a solid alternative to games not on steam.
