library_napper, in Should I get one of those shielded wallets?
@library_napper@monyet.cc avatar

Personally I think its better to just drill a hole in thr antenna and pay by chip

library_napper, in Should I get one of those shielded wallets?
@library_napper@monyet.cc avatar

Yes, but make sure you buy from a manufacturer that has their scientific test data publiahed publicly. Not all wallets shield equally. Many do nothing. I recommend buying from Proxy Store. They have a good selection of wallets.

knfrmity, in VPS suggestions?

Hetzner may have the thing for you. IIRC their VPS options don’t have that much storage, but their storage plans are super cheap and easily connect to the VPS.

LemmyHead,

But their support is horrible

scottmeme, in VPS suggestions?

As mozz said, DigitalOcean is a good company, but looking for that much storage you would be spending upwards of $100/mo.

And if you are running anything illegal, you will likely have your instance investigated and have your ssh keys and password overwritten by whoever is hosting it.

If you are looking for something that is as private as possible, you would be looking for a bulletproof host, which will cost significantly more.

Assuming you aren’t looking to run anything illegal, I also provide hosting, and you can reach out to me if interested.

For low-cost I have been using RamNode. They are a pretty established company and provide HDD options which are great if you want lots of storage at a reasonable price:

They also have relatively good priced SSD, but it is obviously much more than HDD.

scottmeme,

I’ve used ramnode before and their quality of service wasn’t exactly what I would call amazing.

GravitySpoiled, in Apple is bringing sideloading and alternate app stores to the iPhone

All apps must be “notarized” by Apple

Is that legal?

LWD,

Considering how many technicalities Apple is weaseling through right now, it’s probably the most legal thing in existence.

Of course, legality does not mean morality, and in this case I would argue it’s the opposite

WhatAmLemmy, (edited )

Sideloading is explicitly about enabling the user to install multimedia and apps that are not approved by the manufacturer or OS vendor, so this is probably illegal (depends on how the law’s been written) and I expect Apple to be taken to court over it in the very near future.

LWD,

How I hope you are right

dan1101,

That has to violate the spirit of the law at the very least.

T0RB1T, in Apple is finally allowing full versions of Chrome and Firefox to run on the iPhone
@T0RB1T@lemmy.ca avatar

This is actually huge.

I’m far FAR from an Apple user, but the moment this is available, I’ll be seeing if I can install FireFox with µBlock Origin on my partner’s phone.

c10l,

For what it’s worth you can get uBO on Orion browser right now.

Last time I tried to use that browser it was too buggy for me though.

steal_your_face,
@steal_your_face@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah tried it like a month ago and it was too buggy for me as well. Safari on iOS does already support ad blockers though they’re not as good as ublock origin most likely.

willya,
@willya@lemmyf.uk avatar

Blocking is far better on the VPN routing level then bothering with a browser extension.

T0RB1T,
@T0RB1T@lemmy.ca avatar

Cool! Are you talking about something like pi-hole or something else? In what way is it going to lead to better outcomes? I already have a pretty much flawless experience with my adblockers (especially when it comes to easily creating custom rules, using the element zapper, and testing new blocklists).

I find that my suite of browser extensions serves me really well, and it keeps working even when I enable my VPN, but something like pi-hole stops working if you do that.

How does the solution you’re talking about differ? How does it provide a better experience?

OfficerBribe, (edited )

It’s the other way around. DNS based filters are more efficient since connection attempt is simply dropped, but browser based adblocks are a lot more feature rich allowing blocking specific HTML elements not just domains. Additional CPU power to have such extension is miniscule compared to what you gain.

willya,
@willya@lemmyf.uk avatar

I use a combo as I like the blocks happening within apps as well.

OfficerBribe,

Same here, but I have disabled it for Firefox and let uBlock handle browser. Some sites detected and disliked DNS level blocking.

CodaChroma, in Apple is finally allowing full versions of Chrome and Firefox to run on the iPhone
@CodaChroma@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Only in the EU which is typical. I wonder if there will be a way to spoof it for the US

SnotFlickerman, (edited )
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Oh I’m sure there will be. It will be technically difficult (but not impossible) for them to allow other app-stores and sideloading but have the hardware and software be different enough in both markets to not have some slip through.

I suspect there will be lots of hacky shit for this.

GregorGizeh, (edited )

Sounds like jailbreaking with extra steps

errorlab, (edited )

I remember that there was an identifier based on model number. FaceTime wasn’t allowed in the Middle East for a while, there was a way to tell if the model will support it based on the last character after the / in the model number. Middle East models won’t even have the app at all.

Propably they’ll do the same for models sold in the EU.

There are already hardware variants of the same iPhone. I think the US gets an iPhone with all eSIM, and China has two physical SIM slots.

xilliah,

Literally all I had to do to make my phone have a usable performance again was to set the region to France, and the language to English. I should add that it was totally fine before an update.

LWD, (edited ) in VPS suggestions?

For those posting suggestions, do the providers also require KYC at some point?

I know for a fact that Vultr, Digitalocean, and Namecheap (and a few others people have mentioned to me before) will need your identity at time of purchase.

I can understand why verifying a customer’s identity is important to these providers, but at the same time, I’m mostly worried that they will be the victims of some data breach in the future.

library_napper,
@library_napper@monyet.cc avatar

I can’t understand why KYC is needed.

LWD,

I’m guessing they want to cover their butt in case their server is used for something illicit. But even in searching for something as locked down as, say, a Minecraft server, I ran into the same issue.

It’s strange, because generally you can use a fake identity and a masked card to purchase… just about anything, really.

liliumstar,

I know that DO does require KYC, not sure about Vultr.

Namecheap does not. I have a VPS with them, paid via crypto, and they don’t have any real details about me.

FTFY

big_slap,

this is the stuff my nerd heart wishes my government could do for us… maybe it’s time to move, lol

fluckx,

That’s exactly what I was thinking. It’s incredible how the article title tries to spin it…

hydrogen, in VPS suggestions?

I use 1984.hosting, they are an independent VPS provider that runs on 100% green energy. Already customer with them for 2 years. Last year I moved my email hosting to them (unlimited domain names and storage).

No KYC They accept bitcoin and monero

Voltage, in Apple is finally allowing full versions of Chrome and Firefox to run on the iPhone

I wish I was born in europe rn lol. tbh with india’s population the gov could try something similar and apple would likely comply to not lose a huge amount of potential consooomers. Android has always been the dominating mobile os here but apple is slowly gaining numbers and they wouldn’t like to see the graph go down.

KarnaSubarna, in British man Aditya Verma appears in Spanish court over plane-bomb hoax
@KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml avatar
possiblylinux127,

That’s a reasonable ruling. He honestly could sue if he wanted.

yogthos, in British man Aditya Verma appears in Spanish court over plane-bomb hoax
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

I think the most newsworthy part of this is that UK monitors private communications of British citizens. The person was making an obvious joke within a private snapchat group of his friends who knew this was a joke. There was no threat and no hoax because this was a private chat where everybody had context that this was a joke. This is what life in a dystopian surveillance state is like.

possiblylinux127,

I think its likely more than the UK. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some government contractor doing the monitoring

yogthos,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

indeed

puzzledice,

Probably as part of a new pre-screening program for employers!

mindbleach, in Apple is bringing sideloading and alternate app stores to the iPhone

Apple is being forced to tolerate users controlling their own phones, and is kicking and screaming the whole way.

Don’t phrase this like they did it out of love. They’re trying not to do it at all.
