lemann, to privacyguides in Does Google still hold contact data after deleting from Google Contacts?

Not directly an answer to your question, but this is a really nice gesture. I’d appreciate it a ton personally

lemann, to linux in What devices run with free firmware?

Check out Pine64, however they only develop Arm and RISC-V devices, not x86.

lemann, to privacy in Anyone know how to stop running into this in Safari on iOS 17, without getting rid of my privacy extensions?

Of course its Admiral AAB 😭

Does safari have a reader mode you can use to bypass it? I use a FF extension that allows me to disable all scripts on a page when I come across junk like this.

Alternatively just chuck the link into Wayback or archive.is

lemann, to linux in 100 Million Firmware Updates Supplied By The LVFS

Holy moly that is an absolute sh*t ton of ads!

lemann, to piracy in Torrent client rankings

Whoever designed that seems like they have something against transmission lol.

For me personally: it gets the job done, is allowed by most private trackers, fast and responsive, has a functional webui, and a very vast selection of third party apps (in addition to the cross platform first-party offering)

It’s simplicity is kind of its selling point. Only real criticism I have is that it’s unfortunate some of the supported features aren’t accessible in the first party apps, and especially from the lightweight web interface

lemann, to programmer_humor in Client did not pay?

Free real estate 😂

lemann, to linuxmemes in It's (usually) already installed

Not op, but nothing significant IMO unless you’re a web developer (in which case it’s worth considering using the dev edition instead) or just want the latest features.

The ESR on Debian gets updated reasonably frequently with backported security patches and bug fixes

lemann, to linuxmemes in Everyone loves snaps

I don’t think debian even has support for snaps built in, unless I’m mistaken? Most ubuntu derivatives also rip them out lol

lemann, to linux in After upgrade to Fedora 39 Silverblue, Docker and VM-Manager have stopped working

Do you get any output from # virsh list --all and # docker info?

I have a feeling it’s an SELinux issue, and i’m not familiar with how that works at all (yet 😳). May be a good call to purge virt-manager, libvirtd, docker, containerd, and reinstall them…

lemann, to asklemmy in What are the dangerous levels of friendship ?

I think any can be really.

A friend gives us validation, which could push us to do things we don’t want in some situations.

We can also be betrayed by a friend, and our outlook on life/perspectives shift into darker territory, particularly if you are isolated and stuff…

Someone you consider to be a friend may also not have your best interests at heart, or may have a completely wrong impression of you, and may not protect you from danger when you need it most.

Despite those, IMO friends are kind of essential from a mental health perspective - we’re social beings, isolation can bring out the worst in us. Whenever you come across someone that shares your values, keep them close 👍

lemann, to comicstrips in Slow and Courteous [Beetlemoses]

Kinda want this on a shirt 💭

lemann, to linux in OpenSSH is about to change. (For the better.)

Probably a good idea to look for a different client, call me tinfoil but I wouldn’t want to touch a very old mechanism that is supported/pushed by a very recognisable 3 letter agency

lemann, to asklemmy in Is Lemmy as a platform sustainable?

I don’t see why not - there are loads of other sites, let’s say DDL (roms etc) and various self-hosted blogs that chug along for years at the expense to the owner.

With Lemmy, the main concern would be growing storage, but that’s mostly solved by using something like B2 or Wasabi to store images, instead of the local server. B2 also recently changed their plans to make it free to download to a certain extent (prior to this, you had to pay for downloads) which makes this route even more viable.

I’m aware of lemmyworld and dbzer0 being very public about their donations, and lemmyml has been run by the devs years before we migrated. Lemmee’s admin is extremely active in the fediverse so that’s likely to stay too. We’ve only migrated from reddit in the past few months, so i’d say a lot of lessons have been learned in that time, as well as the viability/sustainability of running reasonably big instances.

A fair few have folded in that time too, some just disappearing out of the blue (vlemmy, lemmyuk, lemmyfilm) and others not able to manage the moderation as well as abusive users. I don’t think any have folded from it being too expensive to run - but I could of course be wrong there.

Personally, my blog site costs about $200/yr to run out of pocket, and is quite manageable at around $16/mo - comparable to a multiple-screen HD netflix subscription maybe. For a moderately used lemmy instance maybe you’d be paying $600/yr - about $50/mo which is still reasonably manageable. If just two users donated $50, your out-of-pocket costs drop to around $40. If all your users donated $2, assuming 100 users, your out of pocket drops to around $34.

The last time I checked, the largest instance Lemmyworld costs over $1k/mo to run (this also includes sister site mastodonworld, which is on separate infra but managed by the same core admin team IIRC). As of today there is a 4 month donation buffer, but looking at the graph on OpenCollective at least it looks like the admin team may need to cover a few hundred $ out of pocket if the buffer runs out, as monthly recurring donations is lower than the infra expenses. There are occasionally some very generous donors so I think it’s financially sustainable for the time being.

Overall I don’t think there’s anything to be worried about, this is the fediverse so you’re free to have an identity on any instance and still interact with the various communities. It’s not like Digg or Myspace where “when it’s gone, it’s gone”.

lemann, to memes in This is for (almost) all of you

No, Fight meeee 🤪

lemann, to privacyguides in UK police urged to double use of facial recognition software

Slippery slope IMO - also won’t do anything for criminals, they’ll just put on a mask or helmet.

The real fix is somewhere closer to more humans, not more tech
