uzay,

I recommend rather spinning up a VM to try it out first.

uzay,

I like how you can spell fuck using the elements of the periodic table

uzay,

Point one: I’m pretty certain they already track that. With or without account. And you’re on the internet, without a VPN there is no privacy. You are also able to remove that history any moment you want.

I mean sure, they could try combining the user agents my unofficial apps provide with my carrier’s NAT IP to build a profile on me, but it would be highly inefficient and imprecise to the point where it’s almost useless for them. With a Youtube Premium account they have an identity tied to an email address, full name, and payment info that they can relate every click in their apps and websites to. If I also use their other services with the same account, I would be paying them to spy on everything I do and sell my data, so other companies can sell me crap.

uzay,

Showing ads is not the same as selling data, but it’s also not really what google is doing. Google spies on you and uses that data to sell access to you to any company that wants to exploit you. They’ve also been known to give (not sell) data on you to law enforcement based solely on your location data or things you looked up.

uzay,

What’s the matter? Cat got your shlong?

Centralized User Management Like Plex for eBook Server

I’ve been trying out Kavita as an ebook software, and I really like it so far, with one exception. Accounts are all local to the app, and there is no ability handle user accounts through their site, similar to how Plex does it. This means that every time I screw up and have to set up again over the years, my users will have to...

uzay,

I recommend going with regular backups and maybe something like docker. Then you just have to restore the config volumes and all the accounts should still be there.

uzay,

Yes, he’s working hard on prioritzing profits over people even harder in the medical industry.

uzay,

Even before any of the vaccines were finished, there were plans to not grant them any patent protection so they can be produced and distributed as widely as possible. Gates and his foundation lobbied hard against that and instead came up with the bullshit plan to have rich countries buy vaccines for poor countries, which helped no one but the insane profits of the pharma companies. In the case of the vaccine developed with public funding by the Oxford University, Gates actively talked them out of releasing it with an open license, so they sold it to AstraZeneca instead.

I have had to spend so much more time thinking about drivers on Windows than on Linux it’s not even funny

pooling media libraries - like distributed storage

I run a full media server, as well do a few friends. Now we had the idea to share our media libraries. In a first quick attempt we, mounted each other’s library folder via an smb share and imported those in jellyfin (all servers connected by VPN) Works quite well, but is kind of cumbersome the more people get in. I had the...

uzay,

Why do you use SMB instead of just connecting to the different jellyfin servers directly via VPN?

uzay,

I tried that, but neither option seems to work. At least not in Wayland programs, like Firefox. It works in Chromium because iirc that runs in Xwayland. That doesn’t solve my issue with Wayland though.

uzay,

As an enduser my only noticeable issue with Wayland is that Auto-Type with KeepassXC doesn’t work.

I have started using fedora silverblue

Today, I made switch to fedora silverblue and then rebased to ublue image because it has flatpak included in the image. I am also thinking about making my own image based on silverblue. there is a video made by bigpod a youtuber about how to make your own custom ublue image and I learned a lot from that video. I am using toolbox...

uzay,

I mean, it’s the main way of installing software in immutable Fedora distributions, so it would be very surprising if it wasn’t preinstalled.

uzay,

Tbf I think it’s very easy to rebase a Fedora Silverblue install to ublue or vice versa

uzay,

For sure. I just meant that it’s just putting in a command and waiting for a bit, so I could understand doing it on a whim more than if it was a full reinstall. Doesn’t make any sense but it’s also not a big deal.

uzay,

Good for her

uzay,

Is it pronounced jilf then as well?

uzay,

I have only used the new version on my phone a little and it felt much smoother than before. The mobile app was always ass, so if the redesign stops it from crashing all the time on my tablet it’s a net win in my book

uzay,

If they were to listen for a set of predefined product-related keywords as well, they could take note of that and send that info inconspicuously to their servers as well without sending any audio recordings. Doesn’t have to be as precise as voice command recognition either, it’s just ad targeting.

Not saying they do that, but I believe they could.

uzay,

Well at least I’m not here perpetuating the delusion that desktop Linux desktop is as user-friendly and productive for every use-case as Windows and macOS are.

Wait, are you saying Windows and macOS are user-friendly and productive for every use-case? That’s hilarious!

uzay,

I’m happy that NewPipe does

Elon Musk’s many children are only insofar hypothetical that he has yet to see them

Why didn't anyone remind me the dual booting exists?

I was talking to my dad yesterday and he talked about how he dual booted windows and Linux in his college days. I immediately left to download Ubuntu, I feel so dumb for forgetting it’s an option. I literally only use windows so I can play Fortnite with friends. PSA: you can have both Linux and Windows, or you can use a vm in...

uzay,

It only protects your data if you encrypt the virtual disk. And then you could still lose it to a ransomware attack.

uzay,

So they want more control over what people are able to install
