  • Could VPNs Be 'Banned'?

    Jump

  • It's theoretically possible but difficult to actually do. China has a large central government and surveillance state, VPNs are essentially banned there, and yet a large percentage of the population uses them daily to the point where it's commonplace.

  • Immich Is Now Stable!

    Jump

  • It's for image recognition. Nothing sad about it. Great feature.

  • Does it ever bother some of you that "I'm switching to Linux!" is just more of a way to appear rebellious than actually committing to the choice?

    Jump

  • Well, it is rebellious.

  • Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing the economy

    Jump

  • Not saying you're wrong (pretty sure you're not) but important to remember that the reason LLMs use a lot of em dashes is because it features so prominently in journalism.

  • Solved: Switching from Windows, but slightly convoluted

    Jump

  • As others have suggested it is probably smarter to just backup windows onto a portable hard drive, or you could do Windows2Go which is finicky but do-able.

    Also you didn't ask what distro, but I have been enjoying Fedora Kinoite it's a very smooth transition (and improvement) from Windows.

  • Spotify bought WhoSampled

    Jump

  • Importantly, the WhoSampled you know and love is here to stay as a standalone platform and brand. It will continue to operate much as it always has

  • Is this the infamous "Night Bird"?

    Jump

  • I don't know but it's a bop

  • Mastodon CEO steps down with €1M payout and a deep sigh

    Jump

  • That Matthew Hodgson quote is good.

    "Unhappy users tend to be disproportionately loud given the issues at stake, and there's a huge risk of optimizing to appease those who shout loudest in the short-term rather than find medium-term solutions which solve for everyone."

    Jump

  • Y'all know damn well Corridor8031 didn't donate a dime.

  • Deleted

    Google releases its 'Google Sans Flex' font to the public

    Jump

  • Cams, anyone?

    Jump

  • This is a good point, I actually made that mistake once! It required their app to setup.

  • TeraBox, the most insane cloud storage

    Jump

  • I’m all for making tons of accounts to use Google Drive/Mega/Dropbox/etc to distribute files, even if they have crappy privacy practices, you don’t need to share any real information with them anyway

    A valid phone number is needed for Google accounts

  • PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners

    Jump

  • Cams, anyone?

    Jump

  • Amcrest seems to be the cheapest and I have good experience with them and Frigate

  • is Proton the only VPN providing a openvpn configuration? (preferably no U.S./Israeli products)

    Jump

  • Colm looks so uncomfortable without the console in Transporter Room Three

    Jump

  • Probably the first time he had to wear pants to work in a while

  • Can Google read my Signal messages on stock Android?

    Jump

  • Oh that's great to know!

  • FFmpeg to Google: Fund Us or Stop Sending Bugs

    Jump

  • I have no issue with using AI to find otherwise undiscovered security bugs. But attempting to fixing them with AI I'm not in favor of.

  • Mozilla Firefox gets new anti-fingerprinting defenses

    Jump

  • Also, the one feature I've come across (long press a link for a preview) is actually pretty useful sometimes. I'm actually impressed they discovered a use for generative AI that isn't annoying and stupid.

    "The hope is to have a fresh 'Star Trek' movie, though [Paramount] has moved on from the idea of bringing back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the ensemble from the J.J. Abrams reboot."

    What are my OS options if I wanted to disconnect my TV from the internet, use it's remote via CEC with a Raspberry Pi, and watch Plex, Jellyfin and YouTube (with sponsorblock)?
