I’m on Ubuntu using Firefox browser. I get the notifications from reddit on my desktop. On the top toolbar, there is a bell icon where I can find unread notifications from telegram, firefox (from the sites allowed to send notifications), the package manager (about software updates) …ect. Whenever someone replies to my post...
Can you recommend me some anonymous phone number services to use when creating account that requiring phone number verification?
I think we all draw a line between privacy and convenience and I think I found mine and settled into a comfort zone of sorts. I use Fedora 38. My browser is Mozilla Firefox with it’s “strict” setting. uBlock origin and uMatrix. When I need/want to use a site that doesn’t work due to blocked connections I relax the...
Hello all, I’m relatively new to the realm of self-hosting. Over the past few months, particularly in response to recent events, I’ve been actively advocating for privacy, security, and decentralization. Initially, I began by implementing Nextcloud for my family and friends, and later expanded to include services like...
I’m thinking of like “Is there a [blank]” or “Where would I find [blank]” sort of community where one might ask things like, “Is there a creator/YouTube channel/blog covering [blank]” or “Where would I find a durable [blank]?”...
I solved this problem for myself yesterday and couldn’t find the answer anywhere online (clearly stated), so here’s what I did....
Is it clear which works are considered canon and which ones are not?
Also, how did you get into it, and what sort of education or certifications (if any) did you need?...
As the title says, I’d like Connect to not automatically load videos while I’m browsing without WiFi to conserve my monthly mobile data a bit better.
I started some time ago using a teddit frontend with local subscriptions, and at some point it was hard for the one I picked to keep up, then I moved to libreddit, at that time libredd.it, then it stopped working and moved to libreddit.spike.codes, but it seems it stopped working as well, and finally I moved to libreddit...

I’m running Lemmy through Docker. Because I have problems with the performance of my Lemmy instance I wanted to tune my PostgreSQL container to better utilise my RAM. Foolishly I skipped that step when I initially set everything up....

As simple as the title sounds I’m having huge trouble getting that working....
Let me start by saying I’m a “floor guy” at a small town hardware store. I am in training to be a manager but not one yet. I do a bunch of stuff around the store. Which leaves me busy a lot of the time....
Hey there fellas!...
Hello Penguins,...
For years I was in a bi-monthly cooking group. We usually met at a friends house and would make dinner there. One night all those terrible things your mom and your aunt Sally forced on you came up....

Without naming names, there’s a well advertised grammar editing tool that’s available either as an app download or browser extension. This is something I’d value for a number of reasons (good grammar is important!) but I’m super cautious about anything I’m giving permission to watch what I’m typing....
On average if I make a post on Mastodon whether I get a comment, and a continued conversation is either hit or miss....
I’m quite interested in putting coreboot onto my laptop, if that’s possible. But first I want to know if it’s reliable as I’ll be using this laptop for school, and if I can even do it in the first place....
Hi, some years ago (2019) I purchased landscaping program ‘Punch! Deck & Landscape’ from punchsoftware.com. I wanted to install it on new computer but on-line registration of license key failed....
I got a DVD, never used with cellophane intact, produced in 1993 on ebay. I thought maybe, since I didn’t get a DRM warning, it predated DRM, and I could just copy it to my hard drive, so I did. Both the copy and the DVD are now corrupted and unplayable. I want to fix the DVD then rip it to my hard drive. Googling gives plenty...
