ReversalHatchery, to privacy in New Advertisement and Internet connection permissions for Simple SMS Messenger on Google Play Store...

Over the years there have been a few times I tried to communicate with the developer, and he was always arrogant.

ReversalHatchery, to science_memes in I have an archaeology joke but it's probably just a ritual.

Or “but it does not compile”

ReversalHatchery, to linux in PipeWire 1.0 Released For Managing Audio/Video Steams On The Linux Desktop

I was experimenting with the Cadence tools from KXStudio. These are mostly made for JACK, but PipeWire has a JACK interface so it should work. It’s similar to helvum, but with more options.
Not sure right now which one (maybe Carla), but one of these programs also support adding sound effect nodes that have their own GUI! You probably want to use it in multi-client or patchbay mode

ReversalHatchery, to privacy in Tor isn't as decentralised as we thought?

I’m using something developed by Russians, said I’m not disliking Russians, and now I’m a russophobe. Ok. You do you.

Do we hate them, all of them? Personally, I don’t.

ReversalHatchery, to linux in A new pilot will investigate the use of Forgejo (A non profit FOSS alternative to github and gitea) in german schools

They’re compromised with free software

Lol

ReversalHatchery, to privacyguides in Alleged RCMP leaker says he was tipped off that police targets had 'moles' in law enforcement

The plan was to have criminals use the storefront — an online end-to-end encryption service called Tutanota — to allow authorities to collect intelligence about them.

Excuse me, what?

ReversalHatchery, to linux in So... how to fix this?

If otherwise you don’t plan to use windows on that machine anymore (on bare metal, a virtual machine is not relevant here), it would be better to transfer your data to a Linux native file system. Unless you have a solid preference, ext4 is a good choice.

Basically you just need to copy your files over, but you may need to do it in chunks (and resize the 2 partitions in every round) if you can’t hold the files if the NTFS file system safely while you reformat it.
Also, if you want to keep attributes like file creation time and last modification time, that’ll require a bit more copy parameters, if you want this let me know and I’ll fill you in on the details.
What distro do you use by the way?

ReversalHatchery, to linux in I am trying to edit a game save with an Hex editor but it doesn't allow me to change anything, it's frustrating

I had similar frustrations with a game. It’s very easy to make mistakes while you’re a beginner in editing such files (I don’t know if you are).
One advice is to make sure to keep the data the same length.

If that doesn’t help, observe the file’s structure a bit more. Maybe it uses a checksum somewhere for the data you want to edit, or it is just stored elsewhere and you were editing the wrong thing.
Make a save. Make the data to change (in the shortest time possible) and make a new save. Compare these for what have changed.

But also, what is your problem?
Does the value just don’t change, or the save becomes corrupted?

ReversalHatchery, to piracy in qBittorrent 4.6 launches with I2P support - gHacks Tech News

It requires running additional software, a so called “I2P router”.
This can be ran on Linux and Windows systems too, on localhost or for your local network.

ReversalHatchery, (edited ) to linux in KDE Plasma - Is it possible to show the user running a GUI in its window title ?

I would be interested in a proper solution, but recently I have found a way to make custom icons for specific Konsole instances. Maybe you could use a similar approach.

I have made a copy of the program’s desktop file and placed it in /usr/local/share/applications/ with a slightly different name, and given it a new icon. Then I have made a new window rule, that sets this desktop file for windows that start with a title having a specific pattern, and made Konsole to start with that title using an undocumented command argument I have found on their bug tracker.
This is very hacky and I don’t like it, can’t wait until it breaks, but it’s all I have found.

An alternative way may be to make a symlink to Konsole and start it through this symlink, and somehow identify the window by the executable path… but window rules don’t support that. Maybe through some other way? KWin has a scripting API… hmmm…

But a problem you’ll probably have to deal with when setting the title is that the program can set it’s title any time, and at least some of them (including Konsole) routinely do that, in that case based on the selected tab’s title. There’s a setting to turn that off… but as I have experienced, it doesn’t do what I expect, if anything. Maybe by listening to title changes you can force your will, if that is possible.

ReversalHatchery, to privacy in Tor isn't as decentralised as we thought?

How is it not decentralized?

Traffic is flowing through computers of volunteers, that part is indeed decentralized, but your client needs to find them, and that happens through a centralized service, through a “directory authory” if I’m not mistaken

ReversalHatchery, to privacy in Proton Mail CEO Calls New Address Verification Feature 'Blockchain in a Very Pure Form'

FYI. Blockchain is only so very power waster because for cryptocurrency uses the users churn out new rounds continuously as if there is no tomorrow.

Here, your public key relatively rarely changes. If you had your protonmail account for years, it probably hasn’t changed ever yet.
Maybe I’m wrong in this, but this seems to be similar to what Keybase was doing, and that was a cool idea!

ReversalHatchery, (edited ) to privacyguides in Alleged RCMP leaker says he was tipped off that police targets had 'moles' in law enforcement

Why, what else could have they done with laws? Protonmail and literally every other provider on the clearnet is also susceptible to this. The only thing they can do is have lawyers to find what the absolute most minimum they are required to do and only do that, but that’s all.

ReversalHatchery, to piracy in Faking Pixel 5a

Recently I’ve read a comment here on Lemmy about someone who keeps an old pixel at home on a charger, and runs Syncthing on it to sync pictures to the phone so they will get automatically uploaded.
If you were to go that way, you could obfuscate your images before copying to the syncthing shared folder. If you were to encrypt it, be sure to only encrypt the content of the images, to keep any headers and such so that google still sees it as an image. You may try with encrypting the whole file, you’ll have to try it out if that works.

Other things that may be interesting:

  • several years ago (2-3?) I’ve heard of a fork of the Simple Gallery app (the orange gallery app on fdroid) that if I remember correctly encrypted your photos and uploaded them that way to google photos. In google photos they were “viewable”, but they were just noise
  • you mentioned Docker, so I suspect you’re not afraid of selfhosting. If you have the storage, you may like Immich. It’s basically a google photos clone. App on f-droid.
