  • Quando va bene siamo intorno ai 5Mbit in download e 400Kbit in upload 😂

  • Reddit API blew up and now I run Linux?
  • It's the path of many of us here, now you will hate linux if you come from windows, give it a couple of months and you'll ask yourself how the fuck you could be on windows till now.

  • Molto figo, io ho un raspberry pi 4 con sopra Nextcloud, Calibre Web, Pihole e altro, però ahimé con la connessione terribile che mi ritrovo posso usarlo praticamente solo in casa escludendo Calibre, inoltre ho una paura terribile di esporre il mio server ad attacchi.

    Non sono ancora riuscito a settare un reverse proxy per cui uso delle porte su Apache e ho fatto port forwarding per quanto riguarda Calibre, con un dynamic dns sul router collegato ad un nome di dominio.

  • Scusate se mi introduco nel thread, ma novababilonia.me in che modo è collegato a ors? Ed ors sarebbe la tua istanza di Mastodon? Per capire, perché trovo molto interessante tutta questa possibilità di personalizzazione e condivisione.

  • Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking?
  • I wonder why we don't have AI browser extensions that can recognise and obscure possible ads / unwanted content yet

  • Any Instagram alternative frontends?
  • I will add another amazing alternative i've found, currently working great: https://www.distractionfreeapps.com/ This was exactly what i was looking for.

  • The 1st Ever Golden Lemmy Award for Best Android Device
  • Hisense A9 with full root + microG

    A minimalist eink anti addictive machine that brings smartphones back to an actually useful tool removing literally all the bullshits.

  • Pornhub pulls out of Montana, NC as age-verification battle rages on
  • What about sexual and emotional education in schools?

  • Does this exist?? Messaging platform with a panic button from any member.
  • Yeah sure, you have to trust your users

  • What are people daily driving these days?
  • I like Debian with GNOME

  • What makes you not want to use Linux anymore and maybe move back to Windows, MacOS, or TempleOS?
  • Video editing softwares definetely, kdenlive is nothing compared to stuff like sony vegas.

  • Does this exist?? Messaging platform with a panic button from any member.
  • I guess probably, because Matrix is thought for private chatting, i guess someone else might have had this same idea, i think matrix is opensource so there must be some client that does this.

  • How to change how comments are sorted?

    I can't find it in the settings but is there any way to sort comments by popularity instead of time? Just like it is in normal reddit?

    Does this exist?? Messaging platform with a panic button from any member.
  • I mean theoretically if you are hosting your own chat server, for example on Matrix, you can easily make all the chats unaccessible from the clients by issuing a command to shutdown your server or simply the chat server service if there's no content cached locally.

    I think you can do this pretty easily with a raspberry pi by connecting via ssh..

    Just use a shell script that changes the static ip to something else after the command to shutdown the service/wipe out the data (depending on what your goal is) has been issued, or use a vpn or something like that if possible, because anyone issuing the command would need to know your server ip.

    And issuing a command by ssh to a remote server both from smartphone or pc should be as easy that you can actually build a very small app for that, or use some app that creates shortcuts that directly connects and issue custom commands.

    That way you are forced to give people your new ip every time chats become unaccessible/deleted and someone can't connect back even if wanting to without talking to you, unless you decide you can use the older ip for whatever reason.

    Of course not using your real ip but using some service like a vpn or proxy (or tor?) would be much better here, but i don't really know how.

    That can give you full power on the chat history and create the said "panic button" for every client involved.

  • LineageOS is currently installed on 1.5 million Android devices
  • There's Bitcoin and lightning network :)

  • We've come a long way baby
  • If it was less expensive and provided some privacy i would probably happily pay for it.

  • Eternity is now avaiable on F-Droid!
  • This app is amazing! I loved the infinity design, that's so fucking amazing you took the time to bring it on Lemmy, i never really liked Jeroba!

  • What is your partitioning strategy to achieve a stable, backup-able and recoverable system?
  • I simply backup the /home folder, where the important files are with duplicity on my home server with ftp once a week, keeping records of the last 6 months. But as that only restores the home folder i also take a snapshot (which takes way more disk space) every month with timeshift too, which stays on the pc. Would be great if i could take complete snapshots via ftp just like with duplicity, but timeshift doesn't do that.

  • Any Instagram alternative frontends?

    Bibliogram is being discontinued, and Barinsta doesn't work anymore too..

    Is there some good soul providing an instagram frontend or app? I really need it to see events, but i don't want to get caught in those useless post suggestions and ads, i just wanna see the content i chose to see.

    What's, in your opinion, the android smartphone worth buying right now based on reparability, freedom of use and long term support?

    These are the things i care the most: I want a smartphone i can repair on my own (battery and screen are the essential parts), with a bootloader easily unlockable, even better with verified boot / supporting a custom OS with re-lockable bootloader.

    I don't care if it's supported by an official foundation or by custom ROMs foundations, i want something that will most likely get the longest term updates and security patches.

    Does a device like this even exists?

    I know that probably one of the few alternatives here is the fairphone, however it's really expensive and i've read many negative reviews of it (pieces staying out of stock for months or stuff like that), and i can't see the meaning of having a repairable smartphone if i have to spend the same money that i would spend buying 3 smartphones with the same specs that would last me the same time. That said, i know the market isn't favouring these kind of businesses and these devices NEED to be expensive in order to keep existing, but i would like to know some other possible alternatives that satisfy these requirements, if they even exist.

    Honestly i've come to a point i would probably prefer spend my money on a guitar instead that on a smartphone and just give up, the industry is terrible 😅

    How to check if a nandroid backup is healthy and not corrupted?

    I regurlary took nandroid backups on my pc with TWRP (adb backup --twrp) of my phone, one day i needed to restore one and i found out i wasn't able to, the restore would stop midway and i needed to completely reset my phone..

    Probably the corruption could have happened because i originally took the backups on a PC with a Ryzen processor, that's what i managed to figure out.

    Anyway now i wanna make sure to have safe and healthy nandroid backup, is there a way to check this without having to try to restore on an emulator every time?

    What are your thoughts on the new EU Digital Services Act?

    From a first perspective it actually looks good! I think these kind of regulation were really needed. But i would like to hear your opinions!

    Is the fairphone really worth it?

    The new fairphone 5 came out, it looks cool but the price is really, really high..

    If it's a phone that can really last 10 years it could be good, but is that true? Is it worth it? I could get the one with /e/os from Murena because i want a degoogled phone with a bootloader locked, but is it usable on a daily basis?

    Is Graphene the only possible way to use google maps almost anonimously?

    I've been proudly using Lineage OS with microg on my phone for a while now, and while it wasn't ideal, it was good for my daily use.

    Now that i'm traveling, however, i really miss some important features, like a properly working geolocation service (i'm using the Mozilla one and it's slow and buggy), and a proper navigator, sad to say that google maps works just too well for certain things like buses or trains.

    Magic earth was okay till i moved with car, i could get a position on google maps and then get there with my car and the navigator was working good, however when i need to move by foot or transports is terrible, it takes 10 minutes to find your position approximatively, only working with mobile data, and it doesn't follow you when you move..

    So i found myself in some unhappy situations where i would need to rely on someone else's phone to not get lost in a city or to call an uber to my right location. I also got lost when i needed to move only by walking. Of course you can get wherever you want with older methods, like asking to people or signs, but sometimes you just need quick solutions that are reliable.

    Is there any real way to use gmaps unonimously except that with the containerized version that graphebe offers?

    I do not really want to buy a Pixel and give google more money.

    What's your opinion on telegram from a foss and privacy perspective?

    I see i can find a foss version on f-droid, and that's something not a lot of social networks can have, i don't really like all the crypto bullshit and ads testing they've been up to lately, but still looks better to me compared to what Reddit have done lately or what other platforms have done in these years..

    I don't know about their privacy feature, but i wouldn't trust their chat as for as far as i knew they were not end to end encrypted some time ago (except for secret chats).

    Anyway it still looks like one of the at least still decent platforms out there, or am i wrong?

    What's the best debian/ubuntu based distro featuring KDE?

    I've been using linux for some time now, i would still say i'm quite a noob but i've tried different desktop environments, for my experience i found GNOME to always be suited for me, anyway i heard many good opinions on KDE and i would love to try that too, i've tried cinnamon before and couldn't really see myself using it, i've seen Kubuntu and looks quite lovely, what's in your opinion the distro that best implements KDE on Debian or preferably Ubuntu?

    Did anyone manage to install Immich on a 32-bit architecture?

    I reaserached for hours but it looks like since they added typesense the 32-bit armv7 is no longer supporterd with docker.

    I have a raspberry pi 4b with Raspbian installed which sadly is 32 bit, even the docked docs say they require a 64 bit, but i heard people usually habe no trouble setting up docker packages in a 32 bit.

    Docker is the only way to install Immich right now, i tried to install an older version without typesense but docker can't find the package for those ("unknown") pheraps because it's a pretty old version.

    I wonder if someone had the same problem and found a solution outside of that crazy dude in the repo discussion that managed to get it running somehow compiling it on its own.

    In JavaScript, where are primitive types stored actually in the execution context?

    The course i'm following says primitive types belong to the execution context in the call stack, but are they part of the context variable environment?

    I guess variable declarations would surely be part of the variable environment, but what about the other primitive types, like null or undefined? Do they need to be attached to a declaration or are they stored in as well?

    What route should i follow if i wanna create a blog that auto-designs social posts and then auto publishes them on socials whenever a new article is added?

    I work for an association and every time i get the material for a new blog post i need to format, publish it on the blog and then design different types of post for FB, IG and Telegram with their own formatting. That requires plenty of time and work.

    Ideally, i would love to create a blog where i can publish items ONE TIME, and then get social designs (with one or two alternative types of designs) and getting the text formatted right to be published.

    The website is on wordpress right now, but i'm studying webdevelopment and i would really love to remake it in plain code with HTML, CSS and JS / JS frameworks. I'm not seeking to do this on Wordpress, on the opposite i would like to move away from it.

    I know i would have to work with the APIs of the socials in order to get the content automatically published and with AI to get a quick text formatting: for example cutting some key parts of a text automatically. I have no clue for the design part, right now i'm using Canva but i always do pretty simple designs and all by hand.

    I know this is probably a pretty ambitious project but it would leave me with A LOT less work once all of this is correctly set up, and replicating this for other blogs would simply be awesome.

    How much is this makable? Would it require a lot of paid services, are the APIs usually free for such a small use? Where should i start from to learn how implementing the auto design part? Can a Junior webdeveloper do something like this in a reasonable amount of time, or are these pretty advanced skills?

    A messy account history, how to deal with this?

    During the years i've been subscribed to plenty of stuff, changing email (getting away from gmail) would seem impossible as i would have the fear to lose some old account i forgot but that i may need in the future. During 2021 i've been subscribed to plenty of crypto trading exchanges, KYCed on most of them, most even if deleting the account, do not delete your personal data.

    I was doing trading, and doing it without a centralized exchange wasn't really an option as i was trading plenty of stuff and in low volumes.

    I'm subscribed to Instagram but my account got locked because i was using Barinsta and advertising 3rd party apps, so now i can't even access it to delete it.

    I won't mention what, but there are also other accounts tied up to my prepaid card name and purchases, and to my name in the email as well..

    I feel like i've been fucking up and i feel a bit overwhelmed by the fact that i know i won't be able to remove important pieces of data from the web.

    I wish there was something like coinjoin for accounts as well🤣.

    Am i being too paranoid or overstating the risk? How'd you act in my place?

    Anybody on the road of learning JavaScript wanting to make a group together?

    Hi all!

    I am learning JavaScript and web development, and while i really like this road, i sometimes feel a bit alone following online courses and i think adding new brains would definetely help us to grow better, would anyone like to join and make a group where we share, learn and grow together?

    I feel like we need to build a better web after all this Reddit thing, why not start together from the fundamentals?

    We can do this on Telegram!

    In JavaScript: is the global object (window in browsers and global in Node) the higher end of the scope chain?

    This is quite unclear to me, the definition of global object seem to be "The global object provides variables and functions that are available anywhere".

    Now this surely means that the global variable environment contains variables available everywhere in the other scopes, but does this also mean that, for example, the window object is at the higher end of the scope chain? As in JS everything is an object, is this true for the prototype chain too? Because from my notes Object.prototype looks to be at the top of the prototype chain.

    In fact if i do: Object.getPrototypeOf(window) i get WindowPrototype { … }

    but if i do: Object.getPrototypeOf(Object.prototype) i get null

    Another thing unclear to me is what is the difference between window (lowercase) and Window (uppercase).. I know that uppercases are usually used for constructors, is this the case too? Is Window a constructor and window an object? If so, what's the purpuose of the Window constructor?

    How can i contribute to the fediverse?

    Hi Lemmy!

    I'm studying webdevelopment, i love the concept of the fediverse and activitypub, but i still see it as really new and needing to get better of course.

    I will just throw out some first impressions, these are just from a first sight so i'd be happy if you make me notice i'm saying something false or inaccurate.

    As i said in the title i would really love to collaborate, so i'm just exposing stuff i would love to work to, just to see what others think about it and if they could be theoretically possible.

    The Fediverse claims to be highly interconnected, yet i cannot use the account i have on a mastond instance on Lemmy, and neither the opposite. I don't see why there has to be many instances of the same thing and so many accounts needed to access, for example if i want to browse Kbin with my Lemmy account, i won't be able to, but i can create a new account and find some content of Lemmy on it or browse privately.

    The system of mentions is quite confusing as well and i don't see these differentiation of istances a pro for the network, if an istance goes down the content on that istance goes down as well.

    More that having to reference each server istance, it would maybe be an idea to have one single domain holding all the istances, much like IPFS and blockchain nodes. More servers hosting the content for the same platform, backed up by a pinning service such as Pinata for IPFS, not different servers holding different content loads.

    I want to be able to subscribe to one single Fediverse account, and be able to use it in every different federated platforms.

    I'll take the user login as an example: If i login in a federated platform, IPFS would perform a node lookup and find my account details on one of the federated servers, instead of having to specify which server i want the account info to be coming from.

    All of this would still need to be backed up: 1- because node lookup is quite slow 2- because if one or more istances go down, there has to be a reliable and fast backup available to keep the platform running, even if the content is already duplicated in more IPFS servers.

    Of course with this option there HAS to be a central server with all the data on it in order to make them readily available and make the user experience acceptable.

    Another possibility would be using really light languages (such as Rust that doesn't have a runtime for example) to build the platforms and see what the performances are WITHOUT a pinning service and so without the need of a central server.

    Please don't be harsh on me, i'm just jotting down some ideas!
