huh, after some more research it seems you’re right. that seems… scummy

that would be really weird. snap install firefox or clicking “Install” in Ubuntu Software installs the snap, apt install firefox installs from the apt repositories

Don’t know about books to prisoners, but food not bombs is definitely influenced heavily by libertarian socialism

That’s actually because it’s slowing earths rotation down! So as the moon moves away, days get longer down here. If the earth and moon were tidally locked, it would stop gaining distance

Who knows, at some point we might figure out how to stop/reverse aging, so your chance of dying (in the foreseeable future) is not 100%, only very close to it

Have you read the Commonwealth Saga by Peter F. Hamilton, by any chance?

I may be wrong, but you could use : &;: & as well, but using the pipe reduces the amount of characters by two (or three, counting whitespace)

There isn’t a Nobel prize for economics, at least not really. The swedish central bank made their own price, to be awarded by the Nobel foundation

Commie blocks are great at that, and certainly better than nothing. They served their purpose really well when they were built, for example, and we can definitely learn from them. But still, quality of life wise, they really aren’t the best. So with all the wealth we currently have, it should be easily possibly to create affordable/free housing that has all the benefits the original commenter demanded. I’d gladly take prefab mega buildings over people living on the streets, but when we get to choose and plan cities for the future, they shouldn’t be our first option.

save on air time and marketing budget with this one simple trick

My PC is hacked

I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder… Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

I don’t think you can, or should, do away with moderators. There needs to be a way to respond to illegal and abusive material quickly, before many people have to see it and it can propagate.

But I do think a good improvement would be improved transparency in moderator decisions, and accountability. It shouldn’t be that hard to implement a way for the community to remove and appoint moderators. The harder part would probably be safeguarding this mechanisms against trolls and hijackers.

Exactly. As long as you don’t have someone really determined or some three letter agency after you, it’s going to be pretty safe

I’m using KeepassXC, which has a browser integration that is quite good, and a local database. I synchronize it to my devices (using Syncthing, so it’s p2p). The database is encrypted with a pretty good password, and a key file. the key file has never and will hopefully never be transported via internet. The database is synced to a server I’ve rented as well, but never the key.

It’s not perfect, but potential attackers would need to

a) have access to one of my daily devices (the server won’t be enough, since they need the key file)

b) crack my password

Obviously, for someone dedicated this is still quite reasonable, but then again, I don’t think that’s my threat profile. The chance of getting caught up in a larger breach is a basically zero once you use your own solution, and it should be reasonably safe, if you don’t do anything stupid.

the only thing that gets less secure is more devices potentially compromised, but the act of syncing shouldn’t make it more dangerous by itself (if using a key file or a master password too long to be reasonably cracked), right?

or am I missing something?

I’m using KeepassXC and sync with Syncthing (which is P2P), and I’m quite happy with it. Seems like you got your setup figured out, but this is a bit simpler for someone looking into password managers

KeepassXC also has a great browser integration c:

I could’ve phrased some things simpler, haha

But yeah, I’m quite happy with it. KeepassXC is a local password manager, and Syncthing lets you synchronize files and folders across devices, and it uses Peer-to-Peer (p2p) technology, so unlike something like Google drive you’re not relying on some could server, it just transfers between your devices directly.

It’s not plug and play to install, but not that hard either. But still, I can see that commercial options are a lot easier for many people c:

I use them more as a general trend, a 90 vs a 95 isn’t really saying anything, but a 60 vs a 90 usually has good reasons
