  • So you want to encrypt it?

  • That's a very broad question.

    Privacy related: Adguard as DNS server, Firefox with uBlock

    A bunch of Windows stuff disabled (Web search etc)

  • Where do you live? Whether you can use your own modem or not may differ. What the isp can or must do differs too.

    I'll interpret "privacy at risk" as normal user privacy, with responses reasonable for normal citizens in a western/EU region (I can't confidently speak for others).

    A modem is usually a "stupid" device or component. It is configured for the adequate transmission settings. It's not a concern.

    The router is often rented and managed (and updated) by the isp. Replacing it with your own, a bought product not from the isp, and managing it yourself is a reasonable and relatively simple thing to do. I wouldn't call it necessary. It's the extra with extra effort. Installing your own open firmware is extra extra.

    The simplest, most effective thing you can do for privacy is change the dns server of your devices. Instead of using your default routers isp provided one, use a privacy focused/mindful one. You can use one that does not resolve ad hostnames for additional significant benefit.

    When you don't use the isp dns and use secure connections the isp already has no open protocol to snoop through. If they or another party at their endpoint wanted to snoop they can only use IP addresses which may vary in usefulness or attempt other more sophisticated tracking and analysis. A VPN would hide even the IP addressing - which is usually not necessary.

  • even though I didn’t think I knew the lyrics

    Did they remove teeth and install antennas? Made you into a radio?

  • What does this have to do with technology? At least title and teaser have no indication. (And the cross post to lemmyshitpost doesn't add credibility either.)

  • Yes, this is very expected to me. What surprises me is the 30 USD per User per month price point. That's very expensive. (I can make guesses as to why, but it ultimately doesn't matter.)

  • If the CPU does not support POPCNT, Windows 11 version 24H2 will not boot. The instruction requires a processors that supports SSE4.2 or SSE4a.

    […] Intel launched support for SSE4.2 in Intel Nehalem core processors in late 2008. AMD added support for the instructions in late 2011. Older processors continued to be sold for some time.

  • What do you mean by they had plenty of warning? Do you consider the government, FBI, and CIA to be one entity?

  • Regarding visual client: I've been using TortoiseGit since early on and no other client I've tried came close.

    I use the log view and have an overview, and an entry point to all common operations I need. Other tools often fail on good overview, blaming through earlier revisions, filterable views of commits or files, or interactive rebase.

  • I've never found pressing modifier keys to be an issue. I'll be mindful of my use today.

    I guess the hold to repeat input (of letters) is not used much, so not a significant or noticeable loss when replaced. I'd certainly see false positives and having to type slower as deal breakers.

  • Note: Not stable/suggested yet.

    F-Droid emphasizes that it wants to ensure that the experience with it is as stable as possible, so version 1.19 isn’t marked as the suggested version yet

  • Why would you title it a "trick"? Inappropriate term.

    now supports the unattended updates API introduced in Android 12

    Hardly a trick if you use a standard API.

  • If you're looking for collaboration or audience I'd stay with github. It's too prevalent to skip for alternative niche with account signup and that elsewhere as a barrier.

    If that's no concern to you it's viable.

  • Firms wanted seven years' worth of IP address logs

    I doubt - or hope they don't - Reddit stores them for that long?

  • I've had a few cases where something made me remember something I experienced and I couldn't immediately tell whether I was remembering something from a dream or reality.

  • If you go down that reasoning road then everything is a dream. You are never not dreaming.

  • Do you mean !anime@ani.social?

    Linking works fine. Whether it is defederated depends on your Lemmy instance.

    (According to the sidebar user stats this community doesn't have much less activity than that one either way. So dunno about "all action"!?)
