When one downloads a new update through the built-in updater, where does the file get put? I'm having trouble during the automated update process with the latest TWRP, and would like to do the dirty manual update
the main way i get music files (320kbps mp3) is through the Soulseek network, which many commenter have mentioned. what has been left out is the best client to get into that network, that is free and open source software, which is Nicotine+. it work on any desktop OS
torrents are still valid but you won't find many artists there
I wouldn't call it a "scam" just manipulative marketing
the difference?
yes, they do (redmi the same as other xiaomi phones) and that's an important thing I left out.
I did create an account long ago with an alias email that i've used for the unlocking of several phones' bootloader. it also requires a phone number for "verification" when you start the unlocking process, so for anonimity you'd need an unregistered burner phone number
so it does leave a trace in their books
in case you go for a cheap new phone, around here the best option are some Redmi ones. recently got a Redmi Note 9 and slapped LOS on it for a friend, for about 170€. since none are very recent models, sometimes I had to spend a good time searching for them in shop stocks
i was still on the outdated OpenBoard, this is great. i'm using it right now
I picked OpenTTD for the weekend and scoured BaNaNas and could not find the add-ons with the graphics that are being used in the banner of this community.
I managed to find some better 8pp trees, with "U&Trees" by Ufiby but I'd like to find those ground tiles and bridge graphics
Awnyone knows what's in use there?
there is a fork with proprietary dependencies removed called Signal-FOSS, whose repo you can add to F-Droid if you decide to trust it
came back just to mention an app I found in F-Droid, You Have Mail, for the sole purpose of providing e-mail notifications when your client is unable to provide them, as is the case with de-googled Proton users
omg, thank you. i just learnt about the "tags" function that I've always assumed worked differently without even trying it
Feeder is a perfectly functional RSS reader for Android, and the only updated and straight forward one on F-Droid when I decided to set up my feeds, and an app I've seen suggested on Lemmy several times when there's mention of RSS...but why doesn't it have groups? I've got my general news mixed with tech news, cluttered in between the rest of it - it does have grouping and it's called "tags"
this thread made me re-check and there are some new options in there and at least one will let you group the feeds: Read You
EDIT: dumb take
I'm looking for a new laser printer for a small office but I don't know what to get
I don't know what to trust around online reviews but am looking for something that will be as reliable and durable as possible for a small office that will print a couple dozen pages on most days, and less so on the others
I'd rather spend above average just to have it be reliable and durable, as stated above. If it could be on the smaller size it would be preferable since space is a concern
So I thought about asking here for recommendations. Thank you
that's perfect, thank you so much! I'm currently reviewing each tool. I'd heard about Klein Tools and now that I look at them, they seem solid
actually, I've only recently learned about pass-through heads as I've never used nor seen any. was hoping the VDV226-110 Crimper could do both but it's not the case. I'll probably go for a standard one for now but will keep an eye out for pass-through heads
I found also the VDV226-107 as a standard head crimper but on the shape of the 110 instead of the classic 011. both also act as stripper and cutter
hahaha, I just picked a random toolkit inage to illustrate the post. that's definitely not a trustworthy kit or crimper
I'm in need of a cable crimper and some other network tools like a tone gen/probe, cable snipper/stripper, and I'll probably also get a cable tester, for a couple of jobs I'll be doing soon
So, I'm assembling a basic toolkit to install the physical network parts, and I'm asking here for recommendations on mid and high quality tools so I can decide on what to get
As one should do with tools, I'm ready to spend a buck (or euro, in this case) to get good and durable stuff, but these days looking for reviews online is a marketing shitshow, so I thought I'd come here to look for recommendations and try to find someone with actual practical knowledge and experience
Any advice is welcome!
isn't Izzy's full of closed source stuff?
it could be put there stripped of that dependency, while an alternative is not available
ok, maybe someone else might be able to help you properly, since i'm yet to do my planned Jellyfin home setup
but it seems to me that maybe instead of running the VPN directly from you Pi, you should run it from you router, so your whole subnet is tunneled when going to the internet and inside your home you don't need those shenanigans to connect to the Pi
if you did this, then you only need to install your mediaserver on the Pi (either Plex or Jellyfin, and although i haven't used any yet, Jellyfin seems to be the one not currently being shitified, and the complete FOSS route) and that will probably be a much easier installation
For some time, trying to watch videos on Invidious or Freetube has been a pain. It has been oscillating day by day but now I get like 3 seconds of video for 8 seconds of loading time
Some days ago I saw a notice on top of the webpage in some Invidious instances stating something like "Youtube is trying to impede frontends"
Today i tried going to youtube.com and enabling some requests on uBO and videos loading freakin' fast
Is anyone getting the same?
Novel Terrapin attack uses prefix truncation to downgrade the security of SSH channels.
> "The Terrapin attack is a novel cryptographic attack targeting the integrity of the SSH protocol, the first-ever practical attack of its kind, and one of the very few attacks against SSH at all. The attack exploits weaknesses in the specification of SSH paired with widespread algorithms, namely ChaCha20-Poly1305 and CBC-EtM, to remove an arbitrary number of protected messages at the beginning of the secure channel, thus breaking integrity. In practice, the attack can be used to impede the negotiation of certain security-relevant protocol extensions. Moreover, Terrapin enables more advanced exploitation techniques when combined with particular implementation flaws, leading to a total loss of confidentiality and integrity in the worst case."
> “Although we suggest backward-compatible countermeasures to stop our attacks, we note that the security of the SSH protocol would benefit from a redesign from scratch, guided by all findings and insights from both practical and theoretical security analysis, in a similar manner as was done for TLS 1.3.”
Should sh.itjust.works preemptively defederate from Threads?
Threads is the not-so-new reddit-like twitter-like public forum platform by Meta, the same commercial company behind internet behemoths like Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp. They're working on ActivityPub integration so that they can bridge (federate?) with the fediverse. As far as I know, the focus is on Mastodon instances, but in the future that could include Lemmy instances too.
Some have raised the question, worried about the future of the fediverse or even claiming that it goes against its definition.
What do you think should be done?
EDIT: correction
EDIT.2: The Vote is on! Go make your voice heard. You have until Friday the 29th.
how can i know the de/federation status of the instance? IIRC the instance subscribed to an auto-defederation program to auto exclude bot instances and such. is there a way to distinguish these from the manual defederations? like exploding heads, or hexbear (i thought we were defederated from them but i've just seen the old posts from their users here on /c/main)
i'm asking just to have a way of knowing wich parts of the fediverse are hidden from view, since it's not obvious to me
also would like to know if there is a plan on the instance about threads? i've scoured The Agora but found nothing. wouldn't mind creating a discussion there
EDIT: just found the answer to my first question on another post: https://sh.itjust.works/instances
for anyone using Mull on Android, since i'm using it that the webview i see in apps like Feeder seems to be using Mull, although when checking the implementation in Dev Options, it does look (from logo and name lol) like normal Chromium webview
!screenshot of Feeder app showing Mull context window
what's really going on here, and how could i have properly checked it myself?
EDIT: vain attempts at posting inline image instead of link to hoster
EDIT2: thanks to noodlejetski@lemm.ee with the image thing (dumb me thought [] was that rectangle character you get in some fields where that character is not recognized ಠᴗಠ )
since i've read this community was created by mods of r/ProtonMail and chose to uncritically believe it, this is the closest we are to an officially lemmy presence, so...just to make sure this question is in every ProtonMail forum:
ProtonMail app on F-Droid when???
