  • I need to install Magisk.

    Google:
    1st result: their Github page
    2: magisk-manager.fr.uptodownDOTcom/android
    3: magiskmanagerDOTcom/
    4: magisk-manager.fr.softonicDOTcom/android

    Kagi:
    1st result: their Github page
    2: magiskDOTme/ (icon showing it may be scam)
    3: magiskmanagerDOTcom/ (scam icon)
    4: themagiskDOTcom/ (scam icon)

    No way I’m clicking on anything but the Github page.
    Kagi is somewhat better than Google, but you have to pay attention to the small warning icon.
    I would say bot search engines do a bad job and shouldn’t show those results (or have an option “show me unsafe websites”)

    edit: uptodown and softonic might not be as bad. Still wouldn’t download from them.




  • el cheapo interneto when you’re not rich:

    4G router at home, data capped (350 GB for 10€) so I had to be creative.

    For non urgent downloads I use an Oracle free tier server: 200 GB. I retrieve the files when I have access to a fiber connection. Also acts as a small seedbox. Completely free but can be reclaimed by Oracle at any moment.

    150 GB on Filen for sharing stuff (one time purchase)

    A small 40 GB VPS for syncing smaller files like my notes, passwords, some files on Nextcloud … also for Wallabag and a few other services.






  • it’s most likely from yogsaron yogtos or agreeable landscape

    I took screenshots, I’ll try to dig for them

    Edit: so it was Donbas invasion, my bad, it’s hard to remember bullshit. if I find enough screenshots maybe I’ll make a post to show what c/worldnews on .ml looked like before the reddit migration. Here you see some resistance, but believe me it was mainly tankies, and those absurd posts were upvoted. Sometimes people were trying to inject some sanity, but against the incessant flow of upvoted propaganda, would cash out.

    Typical post mocking the absurdity of an invasion (they were a dime a dozen):
