Am I overreacting regarding leaving a friend alone on Christmas?

Jump

  • Did this friend say that being alone bothers them? What's stopping them from making plans on their own with other people? Surely they knew they'd be alone on Christmas for quite some time.

    • I'm thinking of buying a car. What is some advice? How do I maintain privacy in a modern car?

  • Find where the cellular antenna is, and cover it with a rudimentary faraday cage.

  • Usenet often uses obfuscation to hide the contents of the files, which defeats most of the bots which are only matching filenames to their protected content.

    I also prefer Usenet since I can encrypt my connection, whereas torrents require a bit more faith in your VPN provider than I'm comfortable with.

  • Well, back to Usenet and Jellyfin for me I guess.

    • Canada considers constitutionality of sex work laws

    Jump

  • That isn't in our charter. That was statement made by a Judge on the Supreme Court.

    Source: The Charter of Rights and Freedoms - the word prostitute doesn't appear anywhere.

  • The latency on bluetooth mode is too high for a lot of retro games, unfortunately.

  • Same here. I'm more worried about losing the USB Dongle.

    • Is there any way to play repacks on Linux? [Solved]

    Jump

  • I install them on my Windows Desktop, copy the files, and run them with Proton

    • Death of 19-year-old employee found in Walmart walk-in oven was not foul play, police say

  • How do you think grocery stores bake all that food every day?

    Wal Mart is a major grocery outlet here in Canada. In Halifax the options are limited since Sobey's has a chokehold on the market there.

  • Complete negligence on the store manager's part was always the obvious reason anyways.

    • What are some self hosted services that you think are essential?

    Jump

  • Audiobookshelf, Calibre-Web, Plex/Jellyfin, FreshRSS, NextCloud, DokuWiki.

    • What should we expect will be censored or banned under Trump? Should archives of these things be put together to protect access?

    Jump

  • Right now that is unfortunately unclear. They did create The Information Archive of Canada in 2016 as a direct response to Trump's previous Presidency, but they've provided no updates since.

    Jump

  • I agree, but I wasn't addressing the act of archiving itself, just the access that one may or may not have to it.

    Jump

  • You don't need to make any backups, the information is already shared worldwide. Should the Trump Administration choose to censor information, there are plenty of us outside the US who will be more than happy to provide it to you anyways.

    At most you'll need a VPN that doesn't log IPs.

  • Maybe the Sikhs would feel less threatened if the Indian Government wasn't literally threatening their lives?

  • Hardly dystopian. They just had someone who understands how tech works on staff.

  • Pointing out what a moron this guy was is not the same thing as agreeing with Nintendo's shitty legal practices.

    • What non-Steam games do you play?

    Jump

  • Minecraft.

    You can get partway to Scrap Mechanic with Minecraft and the Create Mod.

    • There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation

    Jump

  • Lockdown was a blast! I was paid to do what I always wanted; stay home and do whatever I felt like and not worry about other people.

    Now that it's over, I haven't been able to keep a steady job. I've lost all the support I built up for myself in social situations.

    • What distro do you use and why?

    Jump

  • Ubuntu for my servers, and Linux Mint for my Workstation.

    I grew up using Debian-based distros, so it's what I'm comfortable with. I like how Mint seems to "just work" most of the time, especially with samba shares and usb peripherals.

    Ubuntu server is primarily because it's incredibly easy to get support when you need it.
