on the receiving end. Syncthing cant act to keep a version before you delete a file locally, but it can move a remotely deleted file to the version control instead of deleting it

Syncthing is fine and secure, but be absolutely sure you set up some kind of file versioning for the shared folder. at least a trashcan versioning, if not better. protects you against accidental deletion

which model? it says gpt 4o mini can do web search

not bad faith, but overriding your selected search engine is just plainly very fucked up for firefox to do.

and this it not only on mobile. I had the same experience on desktop some time ago.

another person here also highlighted that mullvad can already do btc + monero + traditional money, so I guess maybe it could just work that way.

interesting though, that mullvad had that for many years now, didn’t it? and this podcast is not old. why did Andy say what he said?

tbh I didn’t read the petition page until now because I didn’t expect an official source, but this is going to be interesting

I don’t think it’s that easy. the CEO Andy Yen talked about this briefly in this podcast, it boils down to financial auditors not liking cryptocurrencies. he said even just by accepting bitcoin most of the auditors won’t agree to audit their company, all the while they are legally required to have regular audits

their point is not the custom domain usage, who cares about that, for that you need a domain to begin with and its not that common to have a personal one. but that you can’t set up automatic forwarding without continuously paying. that makes switching considerably harder for the everyday people.

using? having! better uninstall them all, confine them into firefox if you still need them.

don’t forget to get rid of the 3 iconless meta apps either that are installed to lots of phones from the factory:

• Meta App Installer
• Meta App Manager
• Meta Services

you can only see these in the settings, installed apps list, after finding the hidden option to also show system apps.
App Manager or similar tools will also show them.

Probably. I think they may fine homeserver operators in the EU, maybe even raid their homes or jail them. But to me its unclear whether hosting it, or also using it will be a criminal offence.

Hopefully neither, and we can jail the real terrorists, those who want to get this implemented.

there is a blocklist with a name like block outsider intrusion to lan, but it’s off by default

antiviruses are a scam. they were never flagging actual spyware as such

honestly thats why I don’t like signal and simplex for people who send lots of images. something server-based is much more suitable for them, like Matrix. that is, if their apps were more stable. there’s also the security about metadata, but for most people that’s probably not a huge concern

Telegram does that? how? you need a phone number, so essentially a smartphone too. or is it common in your community to use feature phones, so that the problem is no registration on PC?

I use it too in a VM, but this doesn’t support being installed on routers, right?

We left out fully distributed FOSS that doesn’t have any fixed location - maybe we’ll update it some time with a box for that.

maybe you could show the jurisdiction of the devs for them, when known. for legal reasons that can affect development decisions

well, they do. unlike cryptobros, for some its not a form of invesrment gambling. but I hope most of them don’t write crypto with a capital C.

yet you still don’t fully own it.

and it even spies on you for commercial data mining and whatever other reasons!

but what I said is not only a concern with the dealer’s repair shop, see my other response to their comment

yeah OBD and whatever maker-specific extensions, because lots of things only work that way

Having said that, it’s probably only an issue when taking to the dealer for anything. Your everyday, local mechanic likely only cares about the diagnostic codes that might be active and point to the issue at hand.

used to be! but nowadays manufacturers are upgrading their diag software with DRM, that these tools refuse to work without internet. and this has been going for years now as I know. and sometimes the mechanic needs to pull up that diag software, because the other one does not tell enough, or maybe they are just always using that because it’s easier for them

I don’t know any, unfortunately. I just really don’t want to use a car nowadays. Huge taxes and maintenance costs, compulsory microphone on the inside (for emergency calls), almost always internet connection through wireless, often cameras and additional mics on the inside, license plate readers both recording where you go but possibly even who sits in your seats and doing face recognition on them.

Seriously I’m fed up with this world. heads need to fall for any of these to get fixed.

sorry, I don’t understand this part:

However, I always order to the online store’s own office directly (usually without even creating the account - instead asking an employee),

you mean ordering from a store’s website that also has a physical store nearby? and by asking an employee, you mean asking in person at the shop, right?

if so, I think that would work here too. but most of my online purchases are from shops that don’t have a physical store, maybe at all anywhere, so I can’t apply this technique

just don’t forget that whatever the car’s computers still record, the maker’s diag software will be able to read it out next time the car is at the mechanic

in my country the generic package pickup points will want to see your ID card and write it up. they may also check if it’s the same as the recipient but I’m not sure about that

afaik the expiration just puts the unspent amount back to your bank account (because you still need one with taler), so that can be an advantage if you lost your wallet.

but that other point is very concerning. what’s the point then?

what? can you show a source? I think you mixed it up with Matrix

or that some part of the encryption, like key handling is flawed. also, considering they have an RCE vulnerability every year, I wouldn’t be surprised if the encryption keys could just be stolen remotely.

we also don’t know if facebook has implemented some kind of analytics for message content, sent files and media.

well that section has a few not so effective services, like authy, and imo brave and adblock, to depict what people believe at that point. and telegram probably gets to be there because it’s not the usual big tech companies, and it seems fine, even if unencrypted.

Only 1:1 chats may be encrypted as an opt-in.

and only on the phone app

would it be possible to repost it elsewhere? maybe not even to lemmy, but to some markdown compatible paste service, and it could be linked in the footnote of another post of yours, or something like that. if the instance admin gets upset over that, we really should just remove us from their control.
Recently I read that many are now blocking lemmy.ml communities anyway to strip away the admins’ influence

yeah, honestly I would think veracrypt, a LUKS partition, or such would be a bigger factor

but at least Kraken in the United States still does,

oh, forgot that it’s a regional thing

There just aren’t many small peer-to-peer traders yet, but that will occur over time

hopefully, but I was thinking earlier about it and with how the security deposit system works, it may be more risky to do it in small quantities (but then, the monero buyer doesn’t get the monero until they paid, so I’m not sure what I was thinking about). and of course, I imagine that in smaller quantities it would have a higher pricing too

yeah I know that it’skind of an “official community service”, and that helps, but it’s probably not good as a first impression to new users, and even to me its a bit weird

honestly I can understand them, it gives off a scammy feeling

I thought kraken stopped selling Monero last year, but even with a stablecoin it’s still KYC.

reto is good to have but with that you can only buy in large quantities.

What you do is you just allocate an amount per month that you use to buy Monero with.

and where do you buy it? through a KYC exchange?

don’t worry, it’s enough if your chat partner didn’t have it disabled

did you try calculator++? on fdroid. it has a lots of operations, a function plotter and a floating window mode

well, for one firefox is not a stripped down browser but one with conveniences like push notifications, safebrowsing and other things, while ungoogled chromium is a specialized browser built for those who don’t need all that. don’t forget also that chrome can’t be patched up on many fronts, ublock’s dev gorhill has written about them here

that being said, mozilla could make a first time setup page with an option for convenience and another with a menu for selecting which services do you want. but I wouldn’t hold my breath

It’s informative in terms of which parties are basically notified that you started using it. why the fuck does zen load discord, x, bunnyfonts, and whatnot?

I can only hope floorp and zen devs are ashamed of what have they done. all of those third party domains like discord, x and those mundane ones are totally unnecessary

you should perhaps find a little energy and read the whole message. especially the paragraph that starts with “Discussion”. because that paragraph is the rule. what do you not understand about this?
