That’s a pub name in the UK.

Bird In Hand, that is. Intercourse is what happens in the pub toilets.

I’ll recommend (as I always do, being a satisfied customer) Filen - scroll down that page and you’ll see the 10gb free tier.

All you need is a working email - get an anonymous forwarder here or here. All the apps are open source, everything is E2EE, the website doesn’t track or fingerprint you and if you decide to upgrade to a paid acct, they accept Monero.

They’ve been around a while now. Their apps (and security) used to be a bit crap but they’ve upped their game a lot over the last 18 months.

Somehow, my indifference to heights means I control the known universe. Nobody, least of all me, knows why or how.

In my own personal experience, Nextcloud;

  • Needs constant attention to prevent falling over
  • Administration is a mess
  • Takes far too long to get used to its 'little ways’
  • Basics like E2EE don’t work
  • Sync works when it feels like it
  • Updating feels like russian roulette

If anyone seriously judged me for not being on a particular website I’d have to consider their competency at managing life.

To separate Email address from being an online identity, a concept I thought up, detailed by ChatGPT,

Hello Privacy Subscribers of Lemmy, I’m Webhost0101. With the help of ChatGPT, I’ve been exploring the challenges we face with digital identity, particularly regarding the use of email addresses. I’ve developed a concept aimed at enhancing privacy and security in our digital interactions....

Just like with Threads, you have to ask - why are they doing it? What’s in it for them? How good an internet citizen are they? And the answers for me, just like Threads, are not good for the fediverse.

Some of the replies to people against Threads federating are that those of us who don’t like the idea are isolationists who don’t want the fediverse to grow. They’re wrong. Nobody I know is protesting WordPress federating, or Discourse or Flipboard or microblog or (if it happens) Tumblr. The fediverse getting bigger is not a bad thing. But the likes of Meta and reddit are not good internet citizens. Being picky and having standards about choosing to federate with entities like that is the most responsible thing we can do.

Should I wait for the "Snyder cut" (director's cut) of Rebel Moon?

Hearing the movie is getting bad reviews. But Snyder says the director’s cut will be a completely different movie with a different vision. I admit Zack Snyder’s Justice League (director’s cut) was much better than the theatrical version and quite different (though I had mostly forgotten the original by then). Not sure if I...

I must be one of the few people who quite likes Snyder’s work. Yes it’s stylistic-heavy but in terms of Rebel Moon, given it was supposed to be a Star Wars movie, they’d clearly relied on being able to use Star Wars lore in place of some character development. And then, also consider this release has been heavily chopped to be kid-friendly. It was OK. I’ll certainly be watching the directors cut and I suspect it’ll be as good as the Justice League cut, which was really good.

I try to ease up on the c word when I think I might be replying to an American because I’m aware it has pretty hideous connotations over there.

Do not use water on your toothbrush. Something in water hinders the effectiveness of flouride.

TIL, thank you.

Does "Rock music is evil / of the devil" have racist roots?

As a Christian most of the circles I’m around are pretty chill…no stone-cold fundamentalists. But I have been around people (and even had family members) who are 100% convinced that rock music is evil and will lead people to engage in witchcraft and draw pentagrams all over their home....

Privacy is a personal thing. Everyone does it for their own reasons. For me, I’m just sick of wading through adverts, targeted outrage and my details being sold to every company under the sun for profit so I cut down on every opportunity for those companies to harvest that stuff.

As far as governments go, I’m not sure anything I say or do is remotely of interest to them so it matters less to me on a personal level, but I also appreciate that people like whistle-blowers, activists, abuse survivors and journalists do care about those things so I fully support any measures that help support them.

From pixel tracking, to WebRTC leaking your real ip, fonts fingreprinting, canvas fingreprinting, audio fingerprinting, android default keyboard sending samples, ssl certificate with known vulnerabilities

All those things have ways of being tackled to some degree or other. Depending on your browser, WebRTC leakage for example is either a setting or an extension away.

There is. Install ViolentMonkey (an open source Userscript Manager) then install Userscripts of your choice -here’s a few for for Reddit.

Does the "Redirector" add-on affect your browser fingerprint in any way? (kbin.social)

I use it in my normal Firefox setup, but I've been playing with Mullvad browser and I've kept everything to the defaults so I have a good option when I want a little more anonymity without needing the nuclear option (Tor) for sensitive-ish-but-really-not-all-that-sensitive browsing....

@leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I speak under correction, but I believe that whilst yes adding any add-on can potentially alter your fingerprint, it’s also true that a site has to test for the presence of that particular add-on you’ve added. I don’t believe there’s a way to test generally for the presence of add-ons and report back which add-ons a visitor is using.

Get a 2nd hand multicooker off eBay. They slow cook, do rice/lentils/soups and lots of other things. I got one that was a bit bashed about but worked perfectly for £20.

Grow herbs either inside or outside. Rosemary, Thyme, Bay and garlic and a few others will grow fine. For the rest, get dry. Herbs add instant flavour to rice, lentils etc.

A small chicken (about £4) equals 4 meals. When the carcass is stripped, put it in your multicooker, just cover with cold water, add a whole carrot, a whole onion, both halved, some peppercorns, 3 or 4 bay leaves and 2 teaspoons salt. Slow cook on a very low heat for 6 hours. Get rid of all the solids and you now have chicken stock.

Only in an American advert could a character come back from a major coffee producing region and think the shit in that tub is real coffee.

Most of the country are change hating small c conservatives who genuinely believe the state knows best and is totally trustworthy. They get their news from the Daily Mail or The Sun because Britain is the best country ever. Its the mindset that ensures we still have a class system, a monarchy and brexit.

The Met are already using it - just not (yet) on bodycams.

The company behind it, who supply the data are called Facewatch. I’m not going to link to their site but they’re the ones supplying the tech and db. They did it by scraping social media sites as well as government documents and the plan is to add the UK Passport db data soon.
