1·14 days agoAh, that key. Keyboard. This was really scary. It did not mean as in cryptographic key, I was thinking my secure UEFI was getting more complicated now that I managed to run the stupid ‘mok’ command in the universalblue Fedora installation just last week…
That’s actually a perk. Means the decryption key is not uploaded to telegram servers.
And, yes. The encryption all of the normies learnt to use for buying illegal goods while the prices were posted in wide open group chats. At least that’s how it was working in latin america with drugs.
Published in January 2025, seeing the URL, huh.

I’ve used ‘KillTheNewsletter’ a lot. And then it hit me. Most email clients have features I want for my feeds (filtering, auto-sorting into folders by keywords, etc.)
So far, only emacs (forgot extension name) and feedbro (firefox extension) have similar festures to these…
Hence, I’m yet to try it, but might create an account only for feeds. And then use rss2email (pypi)
Is anyone else using this tool? I’d love to hear it…
I played that on a LOTR-themed felucca-only shard, and hosted a runUO server myself for friends later when no one was playing it anymore. Great memories, I kind of enjoyed the “blue vs. red” factions of the early game, like 1999.
3·3 months agoIn their jargon it’s called “scrub”. There are different arrangements, I have 3 disks under raid 5 or raidz 1. Data is written twice and every month I confirm checksums.
In the past I had lost photos on faulty disks, this solution provides me with techniques for coping and dealing in such scenarios.
True. But you can save photos and videos under self-healing filesystem like zfs. Is far more cheaper than a year of multiple premium subscriptions (google, netflix, spotify). And it’s not recurring monthly other than electricity bill…

Cool. Btw, I’m using gluetun container, and sending through VPN only a few containarrs. It’s just another take, instead of running the VPN connection on the OS level and then whitelisting apps for exclusion.
Dear all, please remember that engaging with trolls can get you banned (rule of thumb, half the time the offender gets for themselves)
Write what you want others to read, I don’t care if there are disagreements. But go get a private chat room if you want to exchange insults with them :)
One could also think that whoever packaged this was hurried while filling a form, and wanted to provide credit where it was due. So, maybe they were on the best of their intents… We don’t know.
If I were to use this, I would check other apps from same uploader. Or better, see what permissions are being asked…
In any case, trusting blindly github contributors on teamnewpipe organization is not extremely different.
Trust and credibility are volatile and freely given. It’s youtube, not my bank account ;p
I have a singlespeed, I live in a mostly flat city. It’s awesome! Most bikes have gears and are more ‘breakable’ as they have all those external moving parts.
Then, there’s that gear system that is built into the wheel, that’s less breakable but probably less reparaible too.
So, my advice would be to get a fixie. I used it with the ‘freewheel’ config at first but having switched I learnt of the efficiency in translating hard pushes on the pedal (I don’t stand-up pedal anymore, and most small slopes are a bit easier now!)
Fixies had a revival for these reasons. Unfortunately, at least in Germany, they’re extremely underrepresented in the market.
Do check seaweedfs too! Haven’t tried it (yet) but their ‘erasure coding’ reads as super sophisticated to me ;)
I wonder how it compares to beegfs

Android shows which apps consume the most energy since the last charge.
It’s great, I’ve used it a lot.
Specially with relatives. It also lists ‘Display’, and shows how much your screen use was draining that new phone. I had to explain this to a friend recently, with their new phone. They thought it might be defective. It wasn’t.
Congrats!
PS. Distro (or DE) wars are meaningless. But I use KDE btw ;)

I guess one could have racist and/ or transphobic opinions without knowing the harm it carries. If a person is black, and they happen to behave in a way you don’t like (e.g. smoking weed in a park); you don’t go saying “oh this black people do this, not all but some and I hope they didn’t do that”. There’s a generalization you need to avoid, and also their behavior is regardless of the color of their skin. I have removed such comments, only than instead of racism about skin color this was about gender. And I am being too ‘liberal’ here. Giving you the benefit of doubt. But it’s clear to me that if you think they’re behaving in that way you dislike because of their gender, then that’s just plain transphobia. Next comment that goes in that line, may get a 10-day ban. Discuss Rust, Linux, even Apple Silicon… not the personal decisions and life of a given developer.
