Family not so much. Friends most definitely. It's awesome but takes some trust to lend ones IP out. But having almost 10 different IP addressess to choose from really helps at times. One of them lives abroad too.

Don't know. That's up to them. The problem is not the tool but the unreflected trust in blocklists. The Internet is huge, if Lemmy takes off so will the number of instances. The amount of decisions needed to get a legal instance working in many countries will be insurmountable. I'd rather piggyback on someone I do trust as a rough basis. It won't be perfectly tuned with my informed decision but the alternative is me not setting the server up. The list of defederation can be reviewed. If you're careful about the template its not blind trust. Much in the same way as using FOSS software without understanding all components isn't blind trust if you're careful about the source and verify downloads. It's not perfect but the alternative is not using the software at all.

I use a combination of self hosted wireguard servers at family and friends. They connect together with Tailscale. One of the endpoints connect to the Internet through Mullvad. This makes it easy for every single device I own to connect to either Mullvad or any of a number of possible regular ISPs.

I'd say popos. It's very polished and they are both developers as well as hardware people. It works very well. For servers I'd go with Ubuntu, but not for desktops.

But isn't that what this program does? It allows you to choose an instance with admins that you trust. And those who want to review every single one manually can still do that. I'd love this tool. The ones setting up these servers aren't stupid. They can use their judgement and use this tool if they want!

I'd suggest that you try it. It's less advanced but nicer looking. Not sure about the condition of the adreaa data in the US.

Why? You can have it constantly plugged in and just touch it to login.

My favourite use is to secure SSH with it.

Great growth so far. How does this compare to Reddit?

Antennapod and Organic Maps to keep it simple. They are great for daily use.

I'm not that certain. The scraping in NewPipe has been broken and fixed a few times already. It could be a continually moving goalpost where the effort required from Google just isn't worth it considering the small userbase of NewPipe.

I have a Epic acciunt and claim all the free games. No play time. The intention is just to do what I can to hurt them economically. Hopefully the creators of the games akao get something.

Great! I'll look into how Firefox handles site restrictions and then I might try it!

What's your threat model?

Signal as a gold standard for encrypted messaging is based on many factors. Ease of use, UI/UX, protocol, platform support and so on.

Even though I'm a hard core FOSS person I'm also a realist. Sticking to a common platform is worth a lot. Bridging stuff with Matrix is cool but will not take off among most people.

Signal using Google blobs is a problem but let's face it, the UI will be presented on a Google branded Android phone or a iOS device anyhow. Sure you can use GrapheneOS and Molly or you can switch to another app altogether but heck you'll have no other to talk to then.

Amazing idea but not sure of how I feel about letting the extension control my browser to that extent. If it was part of the diredox code, I'd install it straight away though.

Can I be sure that it only accesses and modifies YouTube.com?

Too bad the sandboxing is not working. I use Vanadium right now but Firefox on desktop. I would switch instantly if they beefed up security.

I live in Sweden and pay around 12 dollars a month for fiber 1000/1000 Mbps without data traffic restrictions.

Seeing the feea you pay make me feel sad.
