  • their point is not the custom domain usage, who cares about that, for that you need a domain to begin with and its not that common to have a personal one. but that you can't set up automatic forwarding without continuously paying. that makes switching considerably harder for the everyday people.

  • anyone successfully managed to import chat history from one instance to another? heard it's possible, don't know of anyone actually doing it.

    what do you consider importing?

    you can invite another account of yours into the DM room. then export all encryption keys in your old account, and import them in the new one, and now you should be seeing your old encrypted messages. if the room stopped being treated as a DM room after the invite, you can kick your old account and execute the /converttodm command or something like that in element web.

  • using? having! better uninstall them all, confine them into firefox if you still need them.

    don't forget to get rid of the 3 iconless meta apps either that are installed to lots of phones from the factory:

    • Meta App Installer
    • Meta App Manager
    • Meta Services

    you can only see these in the settings, installed apps list, after finding the hidden option to also show system apps.
    App Manager or similar tools will also show them.

  • sure! I use the libredirect addon: https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension/ works in firefox on desktop and mobile

    it redirects various privacy invading services to privacy preserving alternative frontends that are ran by volunteers. by default it only redirects youtube, so you would need to toggle on reddit too. Currently it only uses 1 redlib instance by default, you may select more to be used in the addon's settings.

    redlib and other frontends are distinct projects. their project page often has a list of public instances. here is redlib's page: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib
    but you normally don't have to look at it because libredirect updates its instance list automatically

    sometimes an instance is temporarily blocked by reddit, if that happens you can quickly switch to a different instance in the addon's menu.

    redlib and other frontends usually have some cpnvenience settings, be sure to check them out. but they need cookies allowed, and they are not synced across instances.

  • Probably. I think they may fine homeserver operators in the EU, maybe even raid their homes or jail them. But to me its unclear whether hosting it, or also using it will be a criminal offence.

    Hopefully neither, and we can jail the real terrorists, those who want to get this implemented.

  • once I noticed failures on my ventoy pendrive because a specific bootable system had unexpected bugs each time I booted it. after I have rewritten it from backup, it was working fine again.

    but bitrot works this way not just on pendrives, but SSDs and HDDs too. the system won't know unless it tries to read the file. SMART selftests may help. but even then, what good it is if it does not let you know actively?

  • I don't think re-registration is a problem for most of us. we just don't want to go there on a daily basis anymore. especially since all apps have been kicked out other than that garbage, data mining official app.

    nowadays if I go there, I only do because I'm following a link, and then I always use a redlib instance to view the content

  • you don't need the whole usb drive to fail. It's enough if a sector or two went corrupt, and you won't be able to open (or even see) a directory, or copying a file will stop in the middle. maybe files disappear too, and then at best they get recovered to FOUND.001 or such directory without path and name, maybe also just partially, or interleaved with other lost or deleted files' fragments
