Step 1: Buy £6,000 worth of identical hard drives and a motherboard with 16 SATA ports. Or £12,000 worth and a RAID 1 server rig. Or £24,000 and RAID 6

I believe (after looking online) that hold-ups are stockings with the rubberized tops, meant to hold themselves up. Never works for my thick thighs

Yeah, it seems that everything has an imperfection, unfortunately. Just gotta choose one. I’d jump on Signal if they remove the phone number, but like you I think it’s the shiniest of the bunch. I just want media with captions, uncompressed uploads, the ability to search messages, full e2ee for calls and messages, the ability to conference call, secure message migration/sync to a new client, emoji/rich text and markdown format support, by a company that promises not to access its users’ messages, location or other identifying information.

How far they have fallen… Which would you recommend, sans self-hosting a service? Signal?

Telegram allegedly complied with a government to give them user data, and their e2e encryption was switched to be off by default. I know because when I started the chat with someone we raved about how it says ‘end to end encrypted’ before sending a message. Well, between then and when I decided to migrate off it, that private one-to-one chat’s encryption was switched off.

I say it’s okay, but only ensure that e2ee is on

I can’t believe anyone would think that clickbait is something people want. There is no purpose to it here - no affiliate monetary gain, no cash for clicks - just a Youtube video. Note that my quarrel is with the video uploader, not OP

Holy shit guys NKBTN went back

Build a multinational resistance of ‘extremist terrorists’ willing to kill and be arrested, team with Anonymous, and wait for Luigi Mangione to be ready to join us.

Because, as the US and UK governments would have us believe, the term ‘terrorist’ means someone who threatens not the lives of the innocent, but the possessions of the financially rich, morally corrupt and politically powerful.

Ashton fucking Kutcher, huh. Wild timeline.

Github is great but it’s owned by Microsoft. If that alone doesn’t dissuade you, their integration of their Copilot AI to speed up the creation of vibe-coded projects might. This latest change would.

Luckily there is at least one FOSS alternative, codeberg.org. Its base, Forgejo, is self-hostable, therefore security is in your hands.

I recognise that ReMarkable is top tier rn for eReading, but £350 is uncomfortably high for me. Roughly 50 physical books’ worth before buying any books.

Worth it if you have the money to spare.

The general knowledge of prefixes, suffixes and sentence structure of the language families/subgroups, in order to better grasp a basic understanding of a common language when I encounter it, and be more respective - for example knowing when to use -kun, Fraulein, señora, and courteous actions native to the locale

'Member when all insane folk had to ramble to was the wall of their abode, perhaps a leashed parsnip? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Pepperidge Farm is alive today because of a discount Justin Timberlake.

Afaik copyrighted, DRM-protected content is encrypted at bitstream-level, meaning only licensed receivers have the ability to decrypt it. If the receiver, aka the pirate, doesn’t have the key, that portion of the stream will be blank or substituted before transmitting to the viewer.

Maybe a Wayland integration in the browser is the solution to this - if it’s built in there may be a setting in the browser to enable playing DRM content

Or the Truth Social theme to root out pedophiles

I just set up LibreELEC on my Proxmox machine, on a VM with monitor passthrough and Bluetooth passthrough so I can use my Chromecast remote and stream audio, then installed the Emby Next Gen addon to access my library on it. Super happy rn.

Especially as I’ve been until now using the 2022 Chromecast with Google TV and, now they’ve brought out another device, it’s been breaking slowly. The wireless chip has been spazzing out to the point that every day it loses connection and the only solution left that works is to forget the WiFi and use my phone to quick-add it back via QR code. Even then it’s started constantly saying ‘connection lost’ and ‘connection restored’ during playback. Well, a few days ago it started breaking connection to its (Bluetooth) remote as well, meaning I kept having to use my backup remote on Home Assistant that uses wireless ADB. When both wireless breaks, my only option is to use the Chromecast’s button to trigger re-adding the remote. And when that fails, well…

Only the ones with holes big enough to fit a dick

I was more a 00’s kid into consoles, so this was introduced to me via Fallout 3, then Dark Souls
