So it removed a feature that had nothing to do with privacy and added a feature that doesn't matter if you don't want to use it? Wow how dare they.

Why use either of those apps that you can't trust when Signal exists?

Hmmm it's using a spoiler tag to hide the summary until you click. Spoiler tags work for me on desktop, but they don't seem to work in Lemmy apps like Connect or Liftoff. It does work in Jerboa, however.

Yes! I love that it hides the summary now until you click to expand. That way it doesn't needlessly take up space unless you want it to.

That is needlessly complicated. Just force qbittorrent to only use your VPN network interface and you don't need any of that: https://lifehacker.com/you-should-really-bind-your-vpn-to-your-torrent-client-1849779407

This has the advantage of giving you the "kill switch" feature without having to download your VPN's proprietary app. It works with Wireguard, OpenVPN, whatever. Qbittorrent is actually one of the few clients that has this feature, one of the reasons it's so widely recommended.

I've been seeing lots of 90s soft core stuff on 1337x lately. Not sure why, but my guess is that it has to do with the influx of Indian users there, maybe they like our classic porn 😆

Lol hit the bong one time for me bro

Lmao dude it doesn't matter at all

Yeah, they put spyware on minors' laptops and then act all surprised when shit like this happens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbins_v._Lower_Merion_School_District

Absolutely yes, if you buy hackable and repairable hardware you can do whatever you want with it. Especially if you install software on it that is FOSS.

They said the phone is broken. They still HAVE it.

Don't tamper with hardware that somebody else owns. If you get caught, you could be fined a lot more than 50€ and expelled. School administrators often like to "make an example" of kids that they think are "hackers" even if you're just booting Linux from USB. They don't understand the difference between that and real hacking, so don't risk it.

You can only achieve true privacy on hardware that you own. A cheap laptop to boot Linux isn't a bad idea.

Ah I was afraid of that, having copyrighted music will make things a little more difficult. I know Google Drive scans for that type of thing, not sure about Dropbox or Box. You could try Mega.io or another non-US service that doesn't care what you upload.

If you want privacy and control over who sees your stuff, I'd look into storage platforms that support live video playback, rather than video platforms. And if you have a LOT of videos, you'll likely end up paying a small amount per month.

If you're sharing videos that don't have any copyright concerns or issues, then something like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box should work.

If you want something FOSS, I'd say you're limited to self-hosting with something like NextCloud, OwnCloud, or SeaFile. A more plug-and-play (but not FOSS) self-hosting option would be a Synology NAS.

This logic is so flawed lol. It's also completely trivial for them to detect when their anti-adblock script has been blocked. If it gets blocked, then they can just stop serving you videos.

There are websites that already do this; it's not theoretical. The website just doesn't work if it detects an adblocker.

Yeah, I love small builds but the mini ITX components can get pricey. Counterintuitively, the big RGB gaming mega tower form factor can end up saving you money.

You could certainly do both, but there are advantages to having a separate lower spec, low-power machine do your media. It keeps your electric bill lower, and it keeps your very expensive gaming hardware running longer.

Especially with how expensive and power-hungry GPUs are today.

I assume it's a gaming setup, not an htpc setup?

No, because you've posted SEVENTEEN TIMES today simping for Linus. You keep repeating "wait for both sides" even though Linus already responded directly to the GN piece and his response was GARBAGE, which is the main reason a lot of people are unsubscribing. Madison's problem isn't the only issue, it's just another thing we're throwing onto the pile.

If this was a male employee you wouldn't be arguing this hard with the accusations.

MOST flagship Android phones 10 years ago were small and had removable batteries. The Galaxy S5 was the last flagship from Samsung to do it, to name one.
