Probably won't be that useful for me, since I use Linux most of the time, but I'm thinking about new Linux users. If they could already start using all the KDE applications on Windows, the learning curve after switching to Linux would be much lower. I've also seen other KDE apps for Windows and macOS before, but had no idea this would also work with Dolphin.
I run my Pi-Hole on a dedicated Raspberry Pi. I have another Pi that runs my SSH tarpit. These are the only 2 things I keep on separate devices, the rest is containerized on my main server.
like the RF from cellphones entered the womb and taught them how to troubleshoot their PC
Wait, it doesn't work that way? But that's what all the super trustworthy conspiracy theorists have been saying all the time! RF is dangerous and manipulates your brain /s
This is a third-party project, not an official part of Bluesky. Bluesky was never meant to work with ActivityPub, that was a clear design choice. This is just a workaround.
It's opt-in, meaning most accounts will never get federated, because people just aren't aware that something like this exists. This especially applies to new users.
It relies on a centralized service, Bluesky and ActivityPub servers don't talk directly to each other, which would be required for true federation. Federation is always decentralized, this is the exact opposite.
I don't understand why anyone should use Bluesky with cheap hacks to attempt to fix Bluesky's poor design choices and or utter incompetence, if they could just use Mastodon and federate with the Fediverse over ActivityPub by default.
From a user perspective, Bluesky is just Mastodon with a recommendation algorithm. There is no other protocol required for this, everything could easily be done using ActivityPub exclusively. I will never care about Bluesky, since it tries to be the new Twitter, but the enshittification of Twitter began when they introduced their crappy algorithm, instead of just displaying tweets of accounts you follow in chronological order (like Mastodon does it).
This is their stupid excuse. They could still implement ActiviyPub as a secondary federation protocol. (Bluesky <-> Bluesky via ATProto, Bluesky <-> Fediverse via ActivityPub). They decided against it. It's an intentional choice, and they're just making up excuses.
No, this is specifically for DNS over UDP (Port 53). What you're looking for is just an HTTPS proxy. There is no difference between a DoH connection and any other HTTPS connection.
Hell no, fuck Bluesky. There is no reason not to adopt ActivityPub when trying to build an open, federated Twitter alternative. Except for power and control over the platform, its core protocol and ecosystem. Screw these guys, use Mastodon or anything on the Fediverse.
I use Gentoo because I'm a power user and like to customize my system. I don't mind having to compile software from source, and I actually appreciate the benefits I get from it. I use a custom kernel, which I probably recompile once a week because I make changes all the time. I also appreciate the fact that Gentoo doesn't force me to use any particular piece of software, e.g. systemd or sudo. I replaced both, I use OpenRC as my init and doas instead of sudo.
For new users I would recommend something simple like Linux Mint, Pop!_OS or Zorin OS. EndeavourOS is great for intermediate users, and it offers a great introduction into the world of Arch Linux. Fedora and Fedora Atomic, as well as derivatives like Universal Blue are really interesting as well.
Now read your own comment and reconsider if it actually made sense to post this
