What is the state of I2P vs Tor these days?

Also any prompt to “login” and “manage email settings” after clicking the unsub link

It sounds like they’re going to rewrite a bunch of code and decided to not invest the capital into Linux.

That’s a strange problem to have these days since libraries like this are often designed to run on all platforms, but what do I know.

But if it’s true that fewer than 1% of users are on Linux and it’s costing them more than other platforms, it makes no financial sense to keep it going.

Thanka for this comment, I wasn’t aware there are so many other options

A cool feature for the fediverse could be some kind of aggregated view and a way for the community to link common topic threads.

Driver support was so dicey. If you had anything even remotely not mainstream, you would be compiling your own video driver, or network driver, or basically left to figure it out for any other peripheral. So many devices like scanners and very early webcams just claimed zero Linux support at all, but you could at times find someone else’s project that might work.

I tried to switch to Linux as a desktop system several times in the late 90s but kept going back to windows because hardware support just wasn’t there yet.

Hell to the no.

Anybody seriously believing this has a misunderstanding of how little people care about what OS they use and how much they care that it works the way they expect.

This whole thing happened 30 years ago now. Wow. These two must be in their 50s now. It was such a media circus at the time.

They need FF to exist… But doesn’t necessarily have to work well.

This… This was inevitable.

My solution is a bit old school: A raspberry pi connected to my network and running miniDLNA. It has an externally powered USB hard drive. My TV runs Android and I have VLC installed. Any DLNA client works including Xbox and mobile phone apps too.

I don’t think mini DLNA is even updated anymore so eventually my solution might stop working but it’s been running solid for 10 years

Kuro5hin goes in there somewhere too

Baritastic is free and has a decent UI and database.

Yes. I want to put it into cloud storage that I control and can move around as required, so that I can’t run out of space. And so that I don’t need to manage a local physical drive.

The only thing holding me back with Immich has been the non-obvious back end storage options.

I’d like to keep my data in an S3 bucket, but from what I can tell it’s still unsupported because of some limitations with fuse.

If you share a thought on a Biden/Trump thread, an Israel/Palestine thread, or another topic that attracts strong views, and your opinion is different than the hive, expect some vitriol and confrontation.

I’ve run into it while seriously looking for debate or productive conversation.

Macy’s played a significant role in popularizing Christmas consumerism through events like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and their holiday displays. The first parade was in 1924.

It was around that time Christmas was portrayed as a shopping holiday. It was such a successful marketing campaign that the rest of the holidays were sure to follow.

For sure. If you really need to host thrn get the right package of internet services for that activity. If you need a fast fix for a small issue, this method gets around most ISP attempts to block hosting.

Haven’t done any comparisons, but I’m using this in cases where my throughput isn’t too important. I can stream my webcam over it in HD, establish an rdp connection, ssh back through, and control web interfaces like octoprint. It’s acceptable.

The big advantage is that a $2/month vps gets a static IP, therefore I don’t have to worry about a VPN provider changing the IP or blocking ports.

Tunneling an encrypted connection through an encrypted connection is pretty much always a bad idea but when you’re evading CGnat or other network blocks, sometimes it’s the best we can conjure up on a whim.
