  • iOS, as far as I remember, only supports WebDav. Which is useless with an SFTP server, ofc. And yes, there is the solution of installing another file server, configuring it, maintaining it, ripping a new hole into the Firewall, and fiddling around with file permissions, but that sucks, obviously. You could of course buy (or even subscribe to, I believe) a third party, closed sourced, app.

    Then there's Android, with FOSS apps like RemoteFiles, because sideloading.
    Or just mount it with rclone.

    And in my case, I don't need an actual mount anyway, because the FOSS Keepass2Android has native SFTP support, because it makes sense to have it.

  • I just switched from an e5470 to a 5420. I miss i8k, but welcome USB-C (and the faster speed so compiling AUR packages doesn't suck anymore).

    And as someone that used various Dell systems for some time now: The only annoying part is the missing drivers for Linux.

  • My father was lucky, I wanted a minecraft server so bad that I accepted to learn how to handle an Ubuntu Server, with ~10 years.
    Then I kinda had my edgy hacking phase with 12, and installed Kali as dual boot.
    As my Windows install got older, dirtier and buggier, I decided to just f it and installed Pop over everything.

    So, get them to be interested in having/doing something requiring Linux, then show them the wonders of the Linux desktop, preferably not Kali, but something more user friendly, and finally wait till they want to reinstall for whatever reason, like a new PC (with AMD or Intel GPU).

  • Yup. Took me weeks to figure out why I explicitly need to use sudo nvim for my nginx config on my Pi, while on my server my little helper script could automatically use sudo for me. Turns out, I chmoded the sites-available and sites-enabled on my pi to 644 but left them untouched on my server.

    I still don't know what numbers would be 644 but with execute permissions, but in the end, idc.

  • One hand would be 25 = 32 (0 to 31) and two would be 210 = 1024 (0 to 1023).

    And if you use 3 states per finger (down, half raised and raised), you can have 310 = 59049 (0 to 59048).

  • It's not like I had a choice, both (or rather: almost all of my devices) are just sorted out tech my dad brought home from work. Even old desktop PCs are good as servers. And my current Laptop just has some small marks, that wouldn't look good for an employee representing a company, but are irrelevant for me.

    If I buy a Laptop, it will definitely be a Framework. Costs like a (cheap) MacBook, but is better in basically every way. And: Fully Team Red,

  • The only thing ChatGPT etc. is useful for, in every language, is to get ideas on how to solve a problem, in an area you don't know anything about.

    ChatGPT, how can I do xy in C++?
    You can use the library ab, like ...

    That's where I usually search for the library and check the docs if it's actually possible to do it this way. And often, it's not.

  • I just copied my whole root partition to a new Laptop over netcat. It still has close hardware (Intel CPU, no extra GPU, etc.), but some differences in interfaces etc.

    Things one might have to consider:

    • /etc/fstab will need to be redone
    • All interfaces changed, so network configs may need to be updated
    • Other programs relying on hardware or paths that don't exist anymore need to be updated (eg. conky did not work due to i8k being not supported, other interface ids etc.)

    But literally nothing that would break anything. Because Arch is usually installed manually, one knows what needs to be cared for, what could break or could cause certain issues.

  • I was kinda shocked to switch from an i5-6300U to a i5-1145G7 and not find more options in /sys/power/mem_sleep, but literally only s2idle. At least it works (i believe).

    Maybe actual hibernation works now, too.

  • In my understanding, a website should only be able to detect addons if they directly change the website in any way, eg. the css or html. So let's just go through the list and check:

    • Augmented Steam: Only affects steam, where I'm logged in anyway.
    • Auto replay for YouTube: I'm logged in anyway, and mostly use some piped instance.
    • Buster: Captcha Solver: I guess it just uses JavaScript to click whatever it needs to. And if changes would be detected, the captcha would probably not let me through anyway.
    • Clean twitter: I don't use twitter. Yeet.
    • Dark reader: This is probably one of the only extensions actually changing the website significantly. So I'm one of a million users, if we assume my user agent is real.
    • DeArrow: Again, only YouTube.
    • Defund Wikipedia: I'm honestly not concerned about Wikipedia fingerprinting me.
    • Disable Youtube seek my numbers: You know the drill.
    • DDG privacy essentials: 1.6 million users, and I would be surprised if an extension designed to protect from fingerprinting is easily fingerprintable itself.
    • I don't care about cookies: (Because I block them anyway) Also just simulates clicking.
    • Kagi search: Just adds a new menu and changes the default search engine.
    • Karrinator: Only changes the name of a German politician. And I basically never see her name anyway, and if so either only on Lemmy, (reputable) Newspapers or the official website of the German Government. They have my fingerprint anyway, and it's the only definition they know.
    • KeePassXC: Again, only inserts and clicks.
    • NoScript: Is ironically probably the best way to fingerprint, if it's configured incorrectly and a fingerprinting script is still allowed.
    • Return Youtube Dislike: You know.
    • Shortkeys: Browser only.
    • Simple Tab Groups: Browser only.
    • Simple modify headers: Should not change anything that would be possible for the website to check, and is only activated for discord anyway.
    • SponsorBlock: Youtube again.
    • Tampermonkey: Only has one script for discord.
    • uBlock: Should block fingerprinting, or the main use of it, but even if not its behavior is probably very similar to other AdBlockers and there are more than 7 million users (just on FF).
    • UnloadTabs: Browser only.
    • User-Agent Switcher and Manager: Should not be transparent to websites.
    • Vencord Web: Now absolete as it was dicontinued for FF natively. Yeet. It's a Tampermonkey script now, and only active on discord.
    • Video DownloadHelper: Should only read contents, and only if I want it to. yt-dlp is often better anyway.
  • I use 27 addons on my desktop, in firefox. There are no extensions I would need but don't exist for firefox. The only extension I had to replace with a Tampermonkey script was Vencord, because the devs removed the firefox version of it.

    And on my phone I use 12 addons. On chrome, or any other browser not based on FF, I could use exactly none.
