    Unlikely. The maintainer was pushing updates more frequently and sooner than the original app. it'll be fine

    Otherwise, look into cryptomator. A completely different approach, it makes use of your existing cloud storage accounts, but at least more private then using those directly. It probably requires internet access all the time a file is accessed, though, but check the docs to be sure.

    yeah, VLAN interfaces and other kinds of virtual interfaces can also be used. I think you can even have multiple "sub interfaces", that will receive distinct IPs from the local DHCP server

    I don't think they even know that there's a possible choice. Common people don't understand computers, not at this level.

    Cars is a good example for another reason. Do we have new cars without a built-in internet connection and continuous user (and environment) tracking, and questionable remote control functions? Afaik we don't.

    oh! last time I checked it was still just a feature request. This is cool, thanks!

    I could only find this in the documentation of it, though, so probably it's being kept quiet for a reason: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/contributor/federation-architecture/

    the state of it can be tracked by looking at these issues and these blog posts

    OP probably means this:

    Internet Membership

    Sign up for an Internet Membership and enjoy unlimited 4G or 5G mobile internet in all US states and territories.

    Sounds very interesting! With such a service, I could finally throw away my phone number. That is, if this is a mobile hotspot like solution.
    Its only US, though.

    Seems strange that the dev seems to be keeping quiet on this, no?

    the issue was just posted 7 hours ago. maybe they just haven't seen it yet.

    someone in issue #573 asked if the dpapi file is really needed, and by looking at the manual installation instructions, yes, because that contains all the code.

    the developer loads custom code into the spotify process by using such an "override" dll file. it works because spotify is voluntarily loading a dll with this name, and if there's such a file in the directory besides the .exe file, it'll take precedence over the original file installed in the system.
    the trojan warning is probably triggered because this technique is often used by malware to change the behaviour of your programs, but as with most technologies, it has good uses too

    Needing to make a subtly different version of a website to serve to every state and country to be in full compliance

    do they need to? I don't think so. they could just follow privacy best practices everywhere, if they can't afford to do whatever they want with user and visitor data.

    they don't want this solution, however, but in my understanding instead to force every state to have weaker privacy laws

    probably. to me this is purely an animalistic instinct at work, and at point that I wouldn't be surprised if he walked the streets half naked all the time and always touched all women in his proximity.

    other than that, I think there are already too many people on this planet, and that just makes it absurd in another way.

    oh and then there's the question if he can care for so many children, all their mothers, including financing the household. I don't think he can, but maybe he doesn't want that either

    Unfortunately that's not something that can be done system wide, apps have to handle that themselves.

    tab management addons is one example, like those that make tab groups. maybe there are other use cases too, but this feature is for the addons, not to be directly used by users

    right, but qr codes are relatively easy to recognize (pixel pattern with 3 larger, aligned pixels), and they just decode to the text of the address, so this might (easily) not achieve the goal

    why would you want a browser based firmware flasher? the web browser should surely not deal with hardware. you don't even get to know if the flashing code has changed, or verify it in Any way

    I have already hated the grapheneos web flasher, even if its just made for those for whom themost basic computer terms area dufficult task, like download this file, type cmd into the start menu, press enter, paste this command text, press enter. but it could have been solved with a most simple gui executable too!

  • Recently there was a post where the OP pitched an idea for a service related to this community. I don't want to go into details but the post's text has shown that maybe there's some misunderstanding around the technology, and a considerable amount of us also thought that it's not a good idea. The post was removed (noticed because I couldn't reply to someone) probably because the OP felt shame for their "failed" idea, but I think we shouldn't delete posts for reasons like this. The post created an interesting discussion around the idea with useful info. It's useful to have things like these for future reference, for similar discussions in the future. This is an anonymous forum, so there's no shame in recommending things, when you do that politely like it was done in that case.

    I have just installed the tmuxinator 3.0.5 ruby gem with gem 3.2.5 and the `--user-install` parameter, and to my surprise the gem was installed to `~/.gem/ruby/2.7.0/bin/`. Is this a misconfiguration? Will it bite me in the future? I had a quick look at the environment and haven't found a variable that could have done this. Or did I just misunderstand something? I assume that the version of gem goes in tandem with the version of ruby, at least regarding the major version number, but I might be wrong, as I'm not familiar with it. I have checked the version of gem by running `gem --version`. This is on a Debian Bullseye based distribution.
