Nyfure, to privacy in How to prevent link hijacking on sites like Facebook, Reddit and Twitter?

try SkipRedirect, can break some things though, but rare.
Only works for hijacked links where the extension can grab the original link somehow of course.

For general Ad Links, there is FastForward, though i feel it hasnt been on the same level of maintenance since UniversalBypass closed down and they forked it.

Nyfure, to selfhosted in Should I use Restic, Borg, or Kopia for container backups?

Index of repositories is held locally, so if you use the same repository with multiple machines, they have to rebuild their index every time they switch.
I also have family PCs i wanted to backup too, but borg doesnt support windows, so only hacky WSL would have worked.
But the worst might be the speed of borg.. idk what it is, but it was incredibly slow when backing up.

Nyfure, (edited ) to selfhosted in Should I use Restic, Borg, or Kopia for container backups?

Was using borg, was a bit complicated and limited, now i use kopia.
Its supposed to support multiple machines into a single repository, so you can deduplicated e.g. synced data too, but i havent tested that yet.

I mean the tools mentioned also support these features, how does duplicacy and its prorpietary software make them better?

Nyfure, to asklemmy in What are your best flight tips and tricks?

Good points.
Although I have flown a few times on low-cost airlines in Europe, most of them also don't care if you don't test your luck with your carry-on.
They often don't have enough time for thorough checks anyway. I got checked once, and it was fine.
I often prefer to place the carry-on in the hull when offered (personal preference and a willingness to take risks).

Additionally, when flying to or from EU (and associated) destinations, you have EU Flight Rights, such as fixed compensation after certain delays.
This is in addition to the right to get any costs replaced, like hotel, food, and taxi.
There are companies that make it very easy to enforce your rights when the airline denies them. Of course, they want a cut, but either you pay a lawyer upfront or try your luck with them with no risks.

Nyfure, (edited ) to linux in File transfer to USB drive fails after 4.3 gb

It not only has to be not 'open' in the explorer, but properly unmounted. Tools like mkfs dont do that for you, its just not their job. (and might be unwanted or stop your from making mistakes like accidentally overwriting the wrong drive)

try umount /dev/USBDRIVE

If that still complaints about Device or ressource busy, then something is still using it.
Either try to close things that might be the culprit, reboot and try again or, if installed and you are compfortable, you can check which processes using lsof -D <path where drive is mounted to> (you can get that location using mount | grep <path to usb drive>)

Nyfure, to memes in For real tho

Just FYI Germany likes to make things more difficult, so with federation every sub-area is separated in many aspects and has own agencies for different things..

BfDI is only responsible for health and internet-provider institutions (and a few more).
Otherwise you can send it to the one where the company is located at, or always where you are located at. (they will forward it, but that can take a few months, so better to submit where it has to go).

EU Cookie Directive applies to all website owners within the EU aswell as Websites which target EU users.

It gives clear rules for different categories of cookies like how you need to display them and for which you actually need consent to be allowed to use them.
It also sets rules for how easy certain actions have to be and granularity.
(very simplified)

Nyfure, to memes in For real tho

The real MVPs are websites not needing a cookie banner because they only use required cookies for which you dont need a banner.

Nyfure, (edited ) to piracy in It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it

If it would be hard to do and having to bypass DRM yes, but its actually similar to what the player already does.

A court already ruled here that downloading youtube videos does not break the piracy laws by providing own means of downloading and saving the unprotected data.

Of course that does not include allowing the download feature of the client itself.

Nyfure, to piracy in It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it

Downloading from youtube is piracy? How? If it was like a Youtube Red show, sure, but the normal videos everyone can see for free?

For me piracy begins with aquiring things or features which usually cost money to get whilst also taking into account if its obvious a thing should cost money in such an environment (thats also how our piracy laws are worded here).

So our piracy laws also classify things as piracy if it was obvious the deal was too good to be true like Windows for 2$ on eBay or chinese ROM cards for 5$ with hundreds of games.

Videos on youtube, including music, are a normal occurrence. A full blockbuster movie is usually not.

Nyfure, to linux in Just about every Windows and Linux device vulnerable to new LogoFAIL firmware attack

Most fastboot options dont show the logo until windows bootloader comes along.
Though i am not sure how or why the logo is displayed when windows loads? Is that the same image? Loaded and displayed again or just didnt clear the display?

Nyfure, to linux in Just about every Windows and Linux device vulnerable to new LogoFAIL firmware attack

Yes, it can execute code regardless of OS installed because it persists on the Mainboard and loads before any OS, making it possible to inject code into any OS.

Nyfure, to linux in What's the best way to remote into a linux machine?

This. You can also directly connect via IP address when enabled on the target, very handy.

Its probably also one of the few which have started developing Wayland support on the host side.
Currently only clipboard and video sharing works, mouse and keyboard are close..
wayland is very restrictive and things like full keyboard/mouse reading/writing need special handling (and afaik a mouse write method wasnt really available from user permissions so far)

Nyfure, (edited ) to privacy in Help me choose my mobile browser

Find the escapees, put them on the list or find a list including them for your particular use-case.
I dont have much things getting through, mostly small sites displaying things, so i just add a filter myself.

Afaik Ghostery was bought and started tracking its users.. or was that another popular extension? Happened to alot of these.. pretty sure it was Ghostery?
