I uninstalled it quickly after finding out it was trialware (missing features; popups to pay)

I’m fine with Rofi. I’ve used xfce4-appfinder also, it’s less minimal, not configurable (good graphical defaults, might be what you want).

I guess if the copyright trolls got their way, there would be no general purpose computing.

Exactly. These kinds of statements are so naive.

Looking at comments outside of Lemmy, I’m appaled by the number of people shocked by this already. Apparently, “just reuse your f-ing bags” is already too hard for a lot of people. We need to start from the easiest.

I use BTRFS for the same. Being able to check for and repair silent corruptions is a must (and this is without needing to read the whole drives, only the actual files). I’ve had a lot of them over the years, including (but not only) because of a cheap USB controller also.

This statement was later retracted. The Engadget article was redacted accordingly.

No, every service provider must remove infringing content when reported. That is not the case on Telegram.

No matter which encoding is used to store data, the hoster is still responsible for it. On mega, the data is encrypted, yet mega is still held responsible for removing content reported by copyright holders (the decryption keys being included in reports).

How come those big hosters get away with such infringements? I guess they must be less popular than Megaupload and such

i2Psnark is an alternative. With a lot less features (and not mentioning the UX)

I use Signal, but I’m unable to force everybody to do the same.

Re-implementation means reverse-engineering and building new binaries. What’s the point of MicroG if it is just downloading google binaries? An app with privileged access is different than a remote access trojan. The whole point of a sandbox is not to have the same access as the original app.

What you are saying doesn’t make any sense.

Any chance to use Whatsapp on /e/ ?

Yeah that’s unbelievable, I had the same experience! You must never install your bank app, otherwise it will start always requiring it.

This is very detailed 😆 I would have appreciated going for Codeberg too. This is not so bad as used just for hosting the repo, a future migration away from GH would be a breeze.

I’m still using MPD+ncmpcpp. For remote access, I use Wireguard and stream via HTTP on VLC. It’s amazingly fast and lightweight (26MB RAM for 30K+ songs).

MALP also works on Android, might be better with no physical keyboard (now supports streaming also).

A bunch of eDonkey servers were seized in 2006. This was before the implementation of Kademlia in emule. It highlighted the vulnerable centralized part of the protocol and pushed people to alternatives. Also compared to bittorrent, the lack of moderation and low speed played a role.

The onion option makes more sense (standard solution, battle-tested). Not sure about POW resilience, compared to distributed hosting though.

Yep, you can gossip the list of peers with that identifier.
