Not strictly necessary, but being able to carry all my ISOs on a single USB key saves me from having to redo the whole USB Stick Writer thingy every time. Is there another tool out there that does this and makes it easy for the plebs like myself?

Gotcha. So is Wire like, the privacy seeker’s dream messaging app? No phone number, always-on encryption, zero-knowledge servers, open source… any caveats?

Interesting. Since the CEO of Telegram was arrested in France last month, I’ve read countless threads on c/privacy about which messaging app is best for privacy, and the two names that seem to come up the most are Signal and any Matrix client (e.g. Element); however, some commenters point out Signal’s phone number requirement and I forget what the other caveats are.

I don’t recall reading about Wire in any of those threads, but at a glance it seems to check all the boxes (open source, always-on encryption, etc).

Am I missing something? Any ideas why this app wouldn’t come up in such discussions?

EDIT: Hmm, I just went back and re-read a thread from last week, and Wire is actually mentioned. Maybe I’ve just always mentally skipped over it until now.

Sauce? I tried searching and couldn’t find anything (at least not on the first page of results). Thanks.

Why do people use crypto for what?

+1 for PrivateBin, which has a public instance at https://privatebin.io/.

On chromecast I’ve been happy with SmartTube, which includes sponsor block and still allows me to log into YT so I get to keep my history.

In Firefox I’ve just discovered an extension called Lib Redirect, which works for YT, Reddit, Twitter, and other sites. Highly recommend.

Leaked how? No good practice allows any way for a password to “leak”.

Suppose a social media website has a data breach.

What rotating passwords does is ensure people who don’t use a password manager either write their password down more and more frequently, or use a weaker password with some simple changing pattern that doesn’t add anything.

Okay, but suppose I use a password manager like Keepass, then does rotating my passwords not make me any safer in the event a social media website’s data is breached and ends up being sold off on the dark web?

What’s the logic behind this statement? I would’ve thought that if a website’s logins and passwords were somehow leaked, the more often I change my password, the less likely it is for the leaked password to still be usable by bad guys based on the shorter time horizon.

In addition to software solutions, how’s your hardware setup?

• How far are you from your mic? And where is your fan located relative to you and your mic?
• Do you have a dynamic mic or condenser mic? I’m not an expert, but I believe condenser mics tend to pick up more ambient noise from anywhere in the room compared to dynamic mics, which tend to more directional in nature.

30% its [sic] in the title

Right, but I don’t see anything in the title or the article itself about 30% being “sufficient.” To the contrary, the article quotes Sarah Brown, energy think tank Ember’s European program director:

The EU is “very much on the way” to its goal of having renewable sources account for 72 per cent of power generation by 2030.

This article is a celebration of a milestone that was crossed for the first time, no mention of 30% being sufficient. You’re assigning meaning that’s not there.

Who the helll [sic] thought a minority of renewables sufficient?

Where are you getting this from?

Interesting. I wonder if that’s a bug in the Photon app. I use Voyager on mobile. When I tap to create a new post, there is a toggle for link, image, or text.

I’m guessing it’s because you’d selected Link as the post type instead of Text.

Interesting read. Thanks for posting.

How is your experience with exporting GIFs in terms of file size? They tend to run larger than, say, mp4 files, right?

I use Shotcut btw.

Hmm, well, it used to, but I guess it’s been that long since I’ve fresh installed Firefox. Today I learned.

yeah, but Firefox ships w/ Yahoo as the default search engine 😱

Floof mode engaged.
