  • Run Whatsapp in a sandbox on a separate profile with minimal permissions. Disable it when you don't actively need it. Only use the absolute minimum of meta services, and only provide the minimum of your personal information.

    And for google use a new blank account, never connect it to an account that has any of your personal information.

  • I feel like we probably just never interpreted the evidence that was out there in the correct way because of our biases. I don't see why they would have gender segregation when everyone could just do whatever they wanted to/were good at. Seems like the simplest method to me too.

  • Even the most peaceful person is going to get a little pissed if you burn something they hold sacred, mockingly, and then get ready to do it several times again. (After you've seen the distress it causes)

  • Using AI how? I wonder if it is just as a buzzword. The UK can't disrupt the flow of weapons into its own country, I don't believe they can pull this off.

  • You can run tailscale client on the host, not in a container. Then for the domain names, create a DNS record either in the public DNS (or I think you can do it in the internal tailscale DNS) that points a wildcard for your subdomains (*.domain.com) to the IP of the container host within the tailnet. Do "tailscale --status" on any device joined to the tailnet to see the IP addresses inside the tailnet. Then all of the devices will make their DNS request to either your upstream DNS or the internal one, they get the response back that they need to send their http request to the container host within the tailnet, it sends on the default 80 or 443 ports for http and https respectively, and then your reverse proxy handles the rest.

  • Based. What did you think about Dune? I read books 1 and 2, and then started reading Orientalism by Edward Said, and I've found that Dune is smacking of orientalism and sexism. It makes it hard to go back and read the 3rd book.

  • Imperialism, the highest stage of Capitalism by VI Lenin

  • I want to read all of these but quite a few seem to be missing, and I could also not find them on the new leftypedia domain. Do you have them saved somewhere I hope?

  • Boss is setting more ridiculous deadlines, finished the day feeling frazzled.

  • I have used a few second hand phones and they've pretty much always been fine fortunately. I see it could be a bit of a risk, but if the initial cost is so much lower, does that factor in to lowering the risk too? If I get a second hand phone and it lasts me 3 years instead of 4, but costs 250 instead of 600, I'd say it's worth it. I've also used an ex-corporate second hand laptop made in 2014 for 4 years from 2018 to 2022, and only after that did it start to die. It was a Thinkpad, which may have helped it's longevity. This is circumstantial evidence I understand, but in my opinion the lower cost and less environmental damage weighs better for me than maybe having to clean/replace the keyboard or battery. Buying second hand products originally known for their high quality construction or longevity probably helps too.

    Whilst looking recently for second hand pixel 6 phones, I noticed a lot of them were hardly used, some even brand new and unopened, but still being sold at 200-280 gbp instead of new price 400+ for new.

  • Yea I see what you mean. I think mostly that functionality could be covered by RSS though. But maybe there is room for some extension

  • Re ethical consumption, my opinion is, if you don't absolutely need a new phone (broken beyond use) don't get a new one. And then when you do get a "new" phone, get a second hand one. Fairphone may be "ethical" but it's still marketing to get you to spend money on a new device. Reusing one will always be more ethical.

  • I think you just reinvented personal websites? You can put on there whatever you want, and you can link it to anything else on the internet with the original open standard for communicating between networked computers.

  • I met the guy who made bcachefs in Philadelphia and watched a play with him. we then walked through the city at night for 3 hours.

  • GNU/Linux technologies were founded in the west, but are contributed to by people all over the world. I also feel like the ideology and philosophy behind them are in stark contrast to the "western" ideologies of capitalism and imperialism.
