likes anarchism, copyleft, piracy, drinking tea, photography, genAI, and watching nazis/zionists get shot in the neck. the only good authoritarian is a dead authoritarian, and tankies are authoritarians. all cops are fascists. liberals are nazi collaborators. the united states is a terrorist state. israel does not have any right to exist. palestine must be free.
any original art or software I post here is yours, I don’t respect copyright for anyone else, and don’t claim any for myself.
I understand that the letter G can make that sound. I am still saying, however, that the overwhelming vast majority of people pronounce it “gif” as in gift, and not “jiff” as in we’re not calling it that. stomp your feet as you will, it’s not gonna change anything.
not any more than gnome is called guh-nome.
this is like the dude who invented GIF thinking everyone was going to call it “jiff”. it ain’t happening, broski.
I’ve never once had anything go wrong with Unraid. But even if I did, it’s pretty painless to restore a backup since the OS is on a USB drive and isn’t very big.
It’s less hassle than maintaining my homelab was when I used Ubuntu server. Just because I can do it the “hard way”, doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy easy mode and not having to do much of anything.
They give you exactly what they promise with zero enshitification. It’s a solid product and was worth it to me to buy, just for the convenience.
a moment of silence for our fallen brothers…
ok, now please welcome twelve new and totally unrelated stream-ripping sites
suspect that, of the people who are actually manually backing up, most are doing encrypted backups.
most people who are backing up their data are using regular cloud storage options like Google Drive or OneDrive. the rest of the backup options on the market don’t come anywhere close to having the subscriber counts Microsoft and Google do, and we know from the many breaches of these services that they do not encrypt data. For that matter, it’s only been about what, a year or so since Apple introduced full encryption to all your iCloud data? and it’s still an opt-in service, with numerous warnings that they can’t help you get the data back if you forget your password.
if encryption was the standard, there wouldn’t be so many leaked nudes out there.
No the average person doesn’t encrypt their backups. The average person doesn’t even know they need to do that, because they expect their data to be safe with the companies who say they will protect it.
two of the worst places to copy code from.
so it’s OK because they’re quietly nazis?
it sucks that I can’t have any privacy on my laptop while on campus.
tunnel to your home connection then. unless you live an hour or two away from your campus, it’s not gonna add a delay that’s noticeable to you.
you recommended Mullvad, a VPN service in Germany of all places. the same Germany that works with the IDF and the United States on intelligence sharing and spying on citizens. I don’t think you should be criticizing people about privacy.
do you use windows? what do you make of microsoft’s support for trump? what mobile phone do you use, because both of them support trump.
I don’t really mind it. I picked it when I installed CachyOS.
I don’t mind all the ads, they’re always for things I was just thinking I needed to buy anyway.
Does anyone know if they collaborate with law enforcement
yes, they do. they aren’t there to provide bulletpoof hosting, they are there to make your site resistant to DDoS attacks. as an added bonus, if you are selfhosting they also provide you with a bit of anonymity, in the sense that someone can’t just figure out your general location from your ISP.
that doesn’t mean people can’t figure out who you are from the content you host. and if you are hosting content that is illegal, even if it’s illegal in another country, then you are likely to be exposed when their courts subpoena cloudflare. cloudflare isn’t going to fight too hard to protect your identity against a government, and honestly I don’t blame them for that because they never said that was their mission or purpose. they are DDoS protection, with a few other features that might be useful to you.
Yeah ok boomer 😂
