People clearly realize that these algorithms are suppressing dissidents and freedom of speech. Why do they continue to subject themselves to these hacky workarounds and self-censorship?

I thought that Syncthing has its own encryption solution: https://docs.syncthing.net/users/untrusted.html

Otherwise, well done! It always feels great to have your perseverance and technical prowess benefit you directly.

I’m not sure what you mean by this. Copyparty is a fileserver that I’m using for quick sharing of files and folders with others. “Managing multiple devices” is not what I would use it for, whatever you might mean by that. It does have one-way sync, if that’s what you’re looking for.

My RSS reader, Akregator, has an option to open every article in an embedded web browser. I use this feature precisely for these kinds of situations. Most artists that I follow have their own websites with proper RSS feeds, but others only post on Bluesky or similar, that also only show the title and body text. If I can’t follow them through RSS, I just don’t follow them at all. I can’t be bothered to have their newsletter clog up my inbox or use some third-party service that will probably shut down when I least expect it to.

What exactly are “notes”? CalDav has a to-do feature that might do what you need it to do.

And I thought that the Dead Internet Theory was something that we were meant to strive against…

You may self-host your notes or calendar, but you’re forced to either recreate account systems or give up on interoperability.

I literally just finished setting up Radicale on my old laptop, and now I can access my calendar and contacts through CalDav and CardDav from every single client under the sun. Maybe don’t use AI to write your entire article. I won’t even bother reading the rest of the article if you don’t even get this right.

I’ll caution against nextcloud […]

It is indeed rather big and clunky sometimes, but there’s one feature that I really love that I could not really live without. I just tried out Seafile, but I didn’t like the whole “libraries” concept, because it made it very difficult to exclude certain subfolders that I didn’t want on a certain system or to sync multiple local folders to multiple remote folders. I’m using Nextcloud to sync my Documents, Videos, Pictures and Music folders across all of my devices, but I don’t need every single subfolder there downloaded to every single device that I use it on. I also use it to sometimes sync game save files for the ones that I don’t have on Steam. Would you happen to know a better solution than Nextcloud for something like this? I’m currently migrating it from a Raspberry Pi 2 to an older laptop that I have laying around, and I’d happily use a different syncing solution for this, and set up other features that I used (CalDAV, CardDAV) on other containers.

P.S Syncthing looks like what I might need, but I do wonder how I can make public share/upload links with it.

Massively different lifespans really is a bitch. Especially when you start outliving generations upon generations of friends and relatives.

Do you have a graphics card? Your BIOS might not be able to use it, try plugging your display cable into the side of your motherboard.

I tried to use LibreWolf yesterday. The Flatpak version wasn’t supported by KeePassXC, so that was a pass for me. The Fedora version did work with it, but it was also freezing my system and causing graphical glitches that were so terrible, I thought my hardware died. There were coloured blocks as well as weird pixelated warping. It’s probably because I have Wayland, and I noticed that the Fedora version ran under X. I would have submitted a bug report, but I didn’t even know where to start. Maybe I’ll do that eventually.

E: I have narrowed this down with journalctl to be an issue with amdgpu. This happenes on Firefox as well, but not other applications somehow. It’s something to do with a gfxhub page fault. I’ll have to see whether an older kernel version might help.

It’s probably to make minorities feel unsafe, even in their own spaces.

Cheers, mate! Looks like veganism does have its perks lol. Sorry to hear that the times suck. I do have another question. How should I clean my tools before and after use? Any tips on storing them safely, discreetly and hygienically?

Hey pal, you gave me some great advice. I learned a lot, and I’m willing to really get into the craft, but I would still like to know more. What’s the proper routine for starting and ending a session? What kind of maintenance can I expect to do? What are some great methods to clean myself? What would you say is the most effective one? And which would be the most discrete? Thanks in advance.

9 out of 10 dentists recommend our toothpaste.

I can only ever hope to be a master of the craft like you are. Thanks for the great wall of tex!

Clearly, we’ve got an expert on our hands. Any tips for a newbie like me?

Rock hard, baby!

Rockity Rock and Stone!
