Casual Chatter

Hi all,

As our community is still small and not overly active, I thought instead of trying to have a weekly or monthly chatter thread up as a sticky, we could try a perpetual one and see what happens.

So anything you feel doesn’t warrant a post of its own, just put it here.

Cheers and take care!

    Glaub aber nicht, dass du die in der EU Zeichnen kannst. Zumindest mal hat Flatex nichts gelistet. Bei meinem Broker in HK geht's wohl scheinbar.

  • Was denken sie über Mawistaversicherung?
  • Borderline scam. It's just about sufficient to get a visa, but don't expect to get actual insurance coverage.

  • Do images embedded in comments load for anyone?
  • Also works using an account from another instance, thought it might have been cross-linking incompatibility, but nope.

  • ASUS is apparently killing the ability to root present and future Zenfones
  • It would just sit there and be dormant.

  • ASUS is apparently killing the ability to root present and future Zenfones
  • It doesn't remove them, it uninstalls the app from the current user profile, but they persist on system level. That's what I meant with the comment in brackets.

    It's the best you can do if rooting is not an option, but I prefer a full removal.

  • ASUS is apparently killing the ability to root present and future Zenfones
  • Plenty of reasons.

    • System wide adblock
    • Advanced permission management
    • Backups and exports of system apps
    • Full uninstall of bloatware (instead of mere hiding them with adb)
    • Enabling screenshots system-wide

    And a bunch of other stuff I need in order to have a fully functioning device.

    What VPN do you use to hide traffic from your ISP?
  • Nah they identify the protocol handshake and block it altogether, so you need to find a VPN with a proprietary protocol that keeps updating.

    It's probably a modified openvpn with some package obfuscation, but works surprisingly well.

    What is SEO?
  • SEO is spamming a link to your stupid blog all over Lemmy, apparently.

  • Removed
    What VPN do you use to hide traffic from your ISP?
  • Astrill, only VPN with a good track record in China where I happen to live.

    Most others crap out after a few weeks or months, and never bother to fix their protocols.

  • File Scanning
  • A mix of avira and malwarebytes locally, and virustotal if I'm especially sceptical.

  • Good Android Text App?
  • Key Messages rocks. Comes with built-in badword filter and some other nifty config.

    Not open source though.

  • It's so nice to see them all growing, but this is just the truth, sorry.
  • He was also doing a PhD at the same time, and writing a dissertation is not exactly a small feat.

  • Sync for Lemmy (beta) is now live for everyone
  • Yep it's still a beta, that will be coming soon.

  • Sync for Lemmy (beta) is now live for everyone
  • Lemmy Ultra = Sync Ultra

    Lemmy Adfree = Sync Pro

    The old app was simply too cheap, that's that. One-off purchases for $2 are hardly sustainable for individual developers.

  • Sync for Lemmy (beta) is now live for everyone
  • Adfree is 20 bucks, how is that insane?

  • Sync for Lemmy (beta) is now live for everyone
  • That's for ultra. Simple adfree is 20 for a lifetime.

  • It's so nice to see them all growing, but this is just the truth, sorry.
  • Exactly. And lifetime is just about 100 bucks, who cares. Sure it sounds like more than the casual $2 you throw at a random app to remove ads, but considering that I used Sync daily for ~12 years, it's really just peanuts in the long run.

    I've bought a bunch of seemingly cheaper apps and then used them 10 times over 2 years and they ended up discontinued, that's like 20 cents per use.

    I'd have racked up tens of thousands with Sync that way. Easily the most used app on my phone.

  • Welcome!

    We are hoping to make this the new home for questions in, for and about Germany, in English.

    Be nice to one another as we figure stuff out along the way.

    Thanks!
