That’s rough. Signal is the only app that can actually be trusted to resist state monitoring because it has a successful history of it.

I guess another option to throw into the pool is https://docs.cwtch.im/ then. It’s new though, and not as easy to use.

And just FYI, use case is simply texting with friends and family, while avoiding state monitoring.

Signal. There’s nothing better for security, ease of use, and features. It’s a drop in replacement for texts and imessage and facetime.

They’ve got xep-0503 on the roadmap, so it’s not there yet, but is for sure something worth keeping an eye on.

Xmpp already survived Google divesting from it, so I’m more inclined to believe it has real staying power compared to all these new apps partially written by ai or with problematic security policies.

I imagine sitting on coach, searching for show. Then you want to watch some, and then you have to wait half an hour for full episode (or even season?) to download.

This is a fair take on how a locally hosted video server would go. It’s the same as someone who has a collection of disk media instead as well. Finding new media to watch is not instant, even with the best setups.

I actually consider this to be a feature, instead of a bug. The algorithms that Netflix (and YouTube and everybody else that serves content) have a lot of issues. The ability to find content, the act of discovery, is something I think is actually very valuable, and has been lost since we switched to online streaming.

I run a jellyfin server for my immediate family, and one of the benefits of not running an auto-download tool is that we all have a groupchat specifically for requesting new series/movies. I didn’t expect it at first, but it has been a great way to connect with my family over varied media we watch, as well as a way of sharing what’s new and interesting to them.

Of course, I switched from Spotify to a physical mp3 player with my own personal library, so maybe my perspective is a bit skewed. For sure there is a place for a lack of barriers (including skipping out on analytical thought) for consuming content. I just don’t think it should be the default.

Oh shit that’s dope. I had no idea. Looks like they’re on the lower end of range (less than 300miles at best) but expect to make up for it in extreme weather handling.

Specifically, this car has an expected cell energy density of up to 175 Wh/kg while lithium batteries are usually around 150-300 wh/kg. That’s a lot more comparable than I had thought they were.

Sure, but those are unlikely to be used in cars any time soon, if ever.

Yeah. I ended up getting a couple ms of latency back when i pulled the isp router too.

Mine has been running flawlessly for nearly two years now. ISPs are lazy and only change things when they’re forced to.

what protocol does the ISP use over fibre?

Any way to figure this out?

This is a good place to start. https://pon.wiki/

It very strongly depends on which ISP they have. There’s a few that make it easy. There’s a much larger number that can be hacked by a competent pc person (which I’ve done). There’s also a small amount who have worked to make it impossible / hard to do, and don’t have any public info on the process.

My ISP is att fiber, and all I had to do was change the vlan id on the outgoing side and match the ip settings to make it work. I used the guides from https://pon.wiki/ to do it, and the discord is also incredibly helpful.

Of note, this used to be impossible / very difficult so you’ll still find forum posts saying it can’t be done. However, a couple nerds have changed that over the past two years so make sure your info is up to date before deciding it can’t be done for your specific setup.

Grindr went public in 2022.

There’s your problem right there. The article also notes that the website ‘sniffies’, which was banned from the iphone store, is what many people use now.

I have used this card for a couple years.

Pros:

• five m.2 sata slots
• single slot pcie, and short / not extending past top of slot
• incredibly cheap
• mine has been reliable
• no extra power needed
• no pcie bifurcation or other special motherboard features required (works in anything)
• the individual drives do show up as individual drives in Debian for me and can be accessed separately (not a hardware raid card)

Cons:

• pcie 3.0x2 speed in an x16 slot (2GBps)
• doesn’t support m.2 pci
• doesn’t support booting from the installed drives

If all you’re looking for is cheap, quiet, storage, and you don’t mind losing out on total read/write speeds, thisll actually do great just about anywhere.

Love the art on the website. I’m not sure that the article actually says anything about the titular subject though.

Enforce the usual quality rules and most all llm results will be banned by default. Technically, you could try banning llm work by default, but that just results in people lying, and having to check over llm work anyways.

But yeah, OP. You can’t reliably stop web scrapers from stealing your data. You can only make more difficult and costly to do so, at the expense of your own server, and in the case of anubis, at the expense of your real users.

I plan on switching to a RPI hosted website at some point, so I can add either iocaine or nepanthes to my website. Might as well make most of the data from my website poison to all the scrapers when I get the chance.

Yeah. The corporations with money are always going to beat the casual users without in regards to processing capability.

There are smarter ways to discourage the big companies from taking pictures of your house than by adding speed bumps to your driveway.

POW built in to the web spec would be hell. Making every single device in the world do that extra bit of work would noticeably affect energy use across the planet.

The average spotify 3:40 song is going to be about 4MB. This only changes to triple (10MB at the same length for premium and high quality) that size when you pay for it.

If Spotify is using more than 50MB on the audio cache, they absolutely deserve to get ragged on for it.

Yep. https://fedia.io/m/selfhosted@lemmy.world/t/3090624/Decreasing-Certificate-Lifetimes-to-45-Days/comment/13237364#entry-comment-13237364
