No plans really. They (members of party AfD) “JUST” had a meeting, in November, with a guy (Sellner) to make such plans. This was leaked in a journalistic research by Correctiv. Shameful and concerning as it is, they are two different things. Hopefully that Sellner is banned to enter Germany again (he’s been revoked visa to US and other countries already because of such talks). Now, my concern (personal opinion) is that other zealots (CSU, CDU) distance themselves as a ‘better’ alternative still being right extremists themselves…

Edit: To clarify, the “just” in quotes is to denote sarcasm because even if there’s a difference between planning, having a plan or implementing it, the matter at hand is very important indeed. Of course, it can’t be taken lightly. Still, is a relief that we are living the first, and not the second or third scenarios mentioned.

anzo,

You can compare prices (and locations) of “dedi(s)” here lowendbox.com/category/virtual-servers/

anzo,

My go-to solution for documentaries is mvgroup.org good luck!

anzo,

Worker’s rights, unions, and the choice to quit…

anzo,

My take would be take a PNG image and convert to ANSI. So for example you can use an AI to get a PNG, then you can posterize in Gimp if needed, and finally run something like ansilove.org but there are plenty of tools, just search image2ascii or similar. Good luck. Have fun!

anzo,

Canonical has been taking bad decisions for quite some time now, and this developer was trying to reach Ubuntu users even while probably knowing these. Which makes sense, of course. The point being that this dev’s disappointment seems quite specific in these notes (against Snap), and imho he might work again towards shipping their app through Snap if he was allowed to. My comment compares Canonical to Apple, to give some context of where Canonical is at so many other idiosyncrasies (for example, I also heard other bad stuff about their H.R., in particular a way too lengthy hiring process.)

anzo,

This post title is misleading. The developer was working with Snap until Canonical didn’t allowed it anymore. He’s pissed with the policy enforcement which is strictly speaking commercial and as bad as Apple’s afaik…

Maybe we should have a wikiton event to update the organized knowledge and all replies to such question post pointing users to “our” docs would be more than welcome. Specially instead all these arguments that tbh have their own sense of truth on each side…

How to bypass a metered connection?

In North America, using Xfinity for reference. I want to create both a home NAS and offline Wiki/media backup. Problem is to get the amount of data I need would blow through my plan and throttle my speed. I guess I could try and do it over a longer period or download just before the billing cycle renews so even if I go over it...

anzo,

I heard some people would do ‘domain fronting’ to mask packages as going to a web that was unmetered (e.g. Google or the providers own site). But I never tried it, only heard of the trick when it was too old (counter back measures finally catch up). But you can try… there it’s, that rabbit hole… GL&HF!

anzo,

I wrote a small homage to Alexandra Elbakyan on my PhD Thesis because her courage and dedication helped me get throw that stage of my academic life. Here are the URLs listed on Wikipedia. They might be blocked by DNS providers, but afaik the project is alive and works for many papers (unless it’s too recent) ymmv.

anzo,

What about gallery-dl ? It’s on GitHub and apparently support both websites

anzo,

Which background? Can you share some references?

Agreed Mullvad is the best provider, but Proton? I don’t know… I remember some news about how they shared info with security agencies, about a user that was (allegedly) a terrorist…

anzo,

How about netstat -tunlp | grep 8090 ?

anzo,

iirc, MIT could have denied access to FBI in setting up a trap to whoever was the owner of such laptop. They could’ve set the trap themselves and dealt with academic discipline too. So, they did enable the up-scalation of the conflict.

Of course, it’s all subjective at this point… either I recall incorrectly some details, or even how I unconsciously choose to see it is shaped by personal world views.

issues with QbitTorrent stalled torrents

I am just getting back my sea legs, but apparently they’re pretty shaky because I can’t get my ubuntu torrent (no seriously, it is) to download. It never starts downloading and is stuck in “stalled”. I’ve tried a number of things, but even with default settings it isn’t starting. I’m using proton VPN on Linux Mint,...

anzo,

How many seeds are supposed to be around? You should try a ‘real’ torrent with the VPN…

anzo,

I was that adolescent too, not long ago.

This comic has an unpleasant ending, if you think of the person as being depressed, isolating himself, and in the end committing suicide.

I don’t want to ruin the fun, but had to mention this to make it clear…

No matter how grim life seems to be, you should definitely look for help or any relative to talk to about how you feel.

There are no magic solutions, but you can feel better. And you deserve to feel better.

Faking Pixel 5a

I’ve read on reddit that Google still provides unlimited photos backup if you own Pixel 5a and lower. On rooted Android you can fake that and get free backup storage, but who wants to give pictures to Google?! I was thinking if it’s possible or done by someone to create an environment on Docker by faking device info to...

anzo,

Mm no, that is encoding a message in the image, but the image remains the same and normal. Only the msg within is hidden cryptographycally…

anzo,

I was trying to point out that OP is asking for a complete different thing.

anzo,

There’s a running candidate that said that, but that’s the same candidate that said so many crazy shit and lies. So, you can take it with a grain of salt. Even if that candidate won the upcoming elections, I hope that dissolving Argentina’s central bank is not going to happen because of many reasons, but also because the country has a parliament… They shouldn’t allow it.

anzo,

Show me a sword 🗡️
