I’m using mxlinux “ahs” version, it comes with kde at their “ahs” repos for supporting latest hardware and graphics cards. You may also check for the non-ahs, there might be a meta-package for kde plasma and that’s it…

I downloaded huge sets from internet archive.

Did you check the md5? If they were different, it could be anything (it doesn’t imply modifications from massgrave either)

As for logic, bad actors would do anything. Even hijacking a server and replacing the ISOs of other hackers, or infiltrate the group and do so.

what’s the point on this post? I feel like I might be missing something… The text looks generated, is that the joke?

What’s your filesystem? I’d use zfs send / receive. Worst case scenario, you can use dd.

I would try to keep Windows, go for dual boot. Then, from Linux, convert the partitions to a VM disk with qemu ( https://superuser.com/questions/1389103/windows-10-uefi-physical-to-kvm-libvirt-virtual#1400203 ) and finally use that, so that all the games installations are kept. This way, many other things will be available too, like browser’s history and so on. Making backups is cumbersome, I always tend to forget something. Of course, this alternative process is riddled with gotchas. But worth to try.

FOSS thrives in options, and that’s just great. There’s a compromise between security (i.e. anonymity) and convenience (i.e. speed). This tool focus on the security side. Meanwhile, seedboxes strike a good balance to both. That’s the current scenario, there are many ways to share. That diversity provides resilience to the communities ;)

RedditStreams changed domain, right? That’s what I recall from a recent post at torrentfreak.com

PS. I love how that piece was written to share the important bits without directly linking to the websites’ URL

Can you name an example of such app? I thought you meant old adobe photoshop versions.

How about installing RustDesk server con the laptop? Have you heard about Docker and self-hosting? That’s a fun rollercoaster surrounded by rabbit holes ;P GL, HF.

Aren’t premiunize and realdebrid mentioned in the wiki? I heard of them so many times… Never used them tho. They should work with VPN, or so I thought. And you can pay with paysafecard to be safe about scammers.

Best IDE ever, help pages with references to statistics journal articles, and the most useful feature: pipe()

Max of 25gb and Max 24h/ 100 downloads. Else, send.vis.ee allows 5gb and lengthier time and number of downloads, I think it was 1 week as max. And last, there’s pcloud.com which is like Dropbox, so it requires registration, and gives you 10gib

Oh yes, that’s an issue with Lemmy. Edits don’t get federated, they stay on the instance. I didn’t knew but it makes sense that it’s the same with votes.

I believe the issue is that to keep every updated you’d need a far more complex system, like streaming the changes or CRDTs.

Well, on Reddit any party can pay the API prices that are needed to scrape data. So, the paywall. I guess it’s some measure… But if you are being tracked by such an actor, your threat model can’t really include reddit… It’s defeating the purpose. All this is discussion on air.

Assuming that is really an issue (depends on who you are, what you’re doing, and the motivation of the actor mounting such spying infrastructure), how is it any different on Reddit? First, being closed source and everything, we can’t rule out that easier and large scale logging isn’t already implemented. Secondly, such actor would probably just pay the API and scrape the same data if not with more details. It would also get extra metadata from brokers, etc.

Ultimately, if you want privacy, I agree that federation is undesired. That’s why there are Lemmy instances that block all other instances by default. AFAIK those were from right extremists and pesos, at least judging by the name of their URLs.

How is it “less” private? Because the API isn’t a paywall, sure. But… I don’t know what’s your perspective, really.

Your analogy doesn’t separate the facts that paying for content to the platform is not the same as paying for it directly to the creator. You, and many people, assume that a high % of what they pay really goes to the creator. That’s rarely the case

Also, it’s morally wrong that a platform charges you for content they didn’t create. Yet, know one seems to question that. I’m a bit pissed at people calling piracy morally questionable without looking into the concrete ‘harm’… Hence my post last week, copying is not theft.

The audios from Michel Thomas are great! +1
