Why are they holding a gun to their head?

Funny how companies believe they are punishing you by withholding AI crap nobody wants.

Network-level adblock cannot replace browser-level adblock and vice versa

I wouldn't see a reason to use Session over SimpleX

I wouldn't be surprised with how obsessed they are with recreating the movie Her

Firefox 126: New Search Data Telemetry, Improved Copy Without Site Tracking, Security Fixes, and More (www.mozilla.org)

Telemetry was added to create an aggregate count of searches by category to broadly inform search feature development. These categories are based on 20 high-level content types, such as "sports,” "business," and "travel". This data will not be associated with specific users and will be collected using OHTTP to remove IP...

Why do you need search category data to develop a browser?

Why would you use mullvad browser if you're not going to use mullvad vpn?

uzay ,

Personally I'd just use Librewolf then

uzay ,

Tuta.io maybe

True, I wasn't aware. Free accounts get deactivated after 6 months without login. They can only be reactivated using a paid account and the correct credentials.

How to randomly pad files before encryption to prevent file fingerprinting?

Hi, I was planning to encrypt my files with GPG for safety before uploading them to the cloud. However, from what I understand GPG doesn't pad files/do much to prevent file fingerprinting. I was looking around for a way to reliably pad files and encrypt metadata for them but couldn't find anything. Haven't found any...

As long as your apt sources (/etc/apt/sources.list) are set to bullseye (and not eg. stable) you won't "accidentally" upgrade to bookworm. At least that's how it works in Debian, I assume raspbian is the same.

Sounds great! Still waiting for the self-hosting option though. Even with e2ee I don't like giving control over my notes out of my hands. And locking things like Tags and Markdown export behind a subscription does not feel like a future-proof solution.

I think they should start with decimating the CEO industry

I've heard good things about Nobara Linux. It's basically Fedora but customised for gaming. It's maintained by GlouriousEggroll, who does a lot for Linux gaming in general. Otherwise I'm using Bazzite on my Steam Deck, which is pretty cool as well. It is a gaming-centric Fedora atomic version. It even comes with the Deck's gaming mode, but only on amd GPUs unfortunately.

Ah, taking inspiration from what porn sites have been doing for decades to trick you into clicking on ads. Nice work, Google.

Looks and sounds very promising! I've been looking for a self-hosted podcast server that I can use to sync podcasts and progress between multiple devices. Nextcloud Gpodder sync is already great, but there does not seem to be any iOS app that supports it. So I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your project!

uzay ,

Don't you have to download episodes to your server first in ABS? That makes it useless for me as a podcast app.

Do you take pictures with GPS tags on?

Hiya, so quickly wondering wether you have enabled this or not. Obviously it's not great for privacy, but it also seems very nice to have for image cloud solutions, so that images can be sorted based on location. Are there any good solutions for this? I'd like have it enabled, but also afraid of sharing images with sensitive...

uzay ,

I would like to have that info for my own photos, but I don't have location services on unless I need them anyway, so it would be pointless.

uzay ,

I recommend just using the flatpak

Something like multi-library support for self-hosted music? Trying to recreate iPod feel

I've been self-hosting my music in Navidrome for the last 3 or 4 years and in general I've been very satisfied. Before that I was using an old iPod. The key difference I haven't been able to recreate in Navidrome is a feeling of my own curated library where I scroll through and recognize all the artists....

For android there is Finamp, a music-focused jellyfin client app

uzay ,

In Jellyfin you can create as many distinct music libraries as you want. The normal client isn't amazing for listening to music, but on android there is finamp

uzay , (edited )

To put it in simpler terms, I'd say that containers virtualise only the operating system rather than the whole underlying machine.

I guess not then.

uzay ,

I recently switched from etesync to a self-hosted solution and didn't want to install a full Nextcloud on my tiny home server just for that. So I initally tried out radicale as well, but I didn't like the default user handling (no authentication at all) and the project had been unmaintained until very recently (two weeks ago). I switched to baikal then and I am quite happy with it so far.

[OC] Anyone else insist on using the generic name for all meds? (lemmy.world)

Image: 4 panels organized in a rectangle following a sequential order like a comic strip. The first panel is of a man with a very serious face stating, "Hey man, got any diphenhydramine?" The second panel is a grainy picture of the actor Robert Downey Jr. with a slightly inquisitive face and saying, "What's that?" The third...

TIL that Tylenol is just how americans call paracetamol

If it boots from USB, boot a different OS. But overall, preferrably use a different device.

Containers are useful for a lot more things than scaling. E.g. portability, ease of setup, dependency separation.

That bundle was an instant buy for me. My only hesitation was that I already own a few of the books, but for that price you can't go wrong. Lost Cause and Red Team Blues are fantastic!

uzay ,

If you loved Red Team Blues, also check out The Bezzle. It's not in this bundle, but it's the recently released prequel to Red Team Blues.

uzay ,

There's also a minimum amount that goes to Humble itself, and they manipulate the scale to make it look like it's less. E.g. at 25€ the minimum that goes to Humble is 7.50€, but it looks like ~4€ compared to the publisher and charity bars.

I mean, it could be bad as well. There isn't even really any specific solution announced.

While the comparison is indeed dumb, that answer does leave out a whole lot of Musk's direct negative impacts.

Password Manager that supports multiple databases/syncing?

I currently use keePass, and use it on both my PC and my phone. I like it because I can keep a copy of my DB on my phone and export it through a few different means. But I can't seem to find an option to actually sync my local DB against a remote one. I've thought about switching to BitWarden but from what I can see it uses a...

Keepass2Android implements syncing in a way that actually works. I sync through my nextcloud instance. On my laptop it's just KeepassXC and the nextcloud desktop app, on my mobile (android) devices Keepass2Android. On iOS I think there was Strongbox but I haven't used it in a long time.
I tried using KeepassDX with the nextcloud android app for syncing for a while, but it lead to regular silent sync conflicts including password losses.

uzay ,

Keepass2Android handles that pretty well. It checks for external changes to the remote database before every local edit. And the desktop nextcloud app notices conflicts as well and can create a second version of the file if there are conflicts. You can then check for the differences with something like keepass-diff. But that should only happen if you change your db without syncing first, so while you are offline or the nextcloud app wasn't running.

2028 conveniently is just far enough away for us to have forgotten all about those claims by then

They are alright, but playback is much more stable on Kodi for me. Luckily you can use Jellyfin as a server and use Kodi to play from it.

uzay ,

I never really trusted them. Now I know why.

uzay ,

You did not have to go that far away to find that. The gas station is where a lot of Germans get their beer on Sundays, too.

I think kavita works fairly well. It doesn't have an app, but it comes with a built-in OPDS server, so you can just plug the link into any app that supports it and access all your book. For eink devices I recommend koreader. For other devices you may prefer an app with a less confusing UI, but that's a matter of preference. Alternatively the kavita webclient has a reader as well.

Ideas for setting up a media server compatible with xbox viewing? (kbin.social)

I have a TCL tv with (with google smart TV software) and have been ingesting TV shows, games, and movies primarily from an xbox using various paid streaming apps for like 15 years. As streaming costs go up I’ve wanted to set up a media server compatible with playing stuff from the xbox and have had some friends suggest Plex so...

uzay ,

I don't know how well the Jellyfin app for xbox works, but you can also install Kodi with the jellyfin addon I think. Or share your library via smb and connect to that directly with Kodi.

uzay ,

Yep, haven't tried Jellyfin for audiobooks in a while, but when I did it didn't work well. Audiobookshelf on the other hand is really really good.
