  • Self-hosting your own media considered harmful - I just received my second community guidelines violation for my video demonstrating the use of LibreELEC on a Raspberry Pi 5, for 4K video playback

    Jump

  • Harmful is just code for "threatens the bottom line of multibillion dollar companies". There is no relation to anything that matters to real people.

  • Highway to hell!

  • Oh, by the way, road works, 80km/h. Aaaand you’re free again! Have f- oh no, roadworks again, 80 pls. Ok done. Now you can really hit the gas! Joke, roadworks again haha, 80! Finally done, now we promise we don’t have roadworks anymore, enjoy! Aaaand welcome to the Netherlands, 100 please.

    If that isn't the most accurate description of driving through Germany, I don't know what is :D

  • I always found driving in the Netherlands much more relaxing.

    Ah yes, NL = Nur Links ... I understand why you feel more at home there :D

  • At least where I live, the law allows for using flashes to indicate that you want to overtake.

  • I like it much better, than Eastern EU, where people are also going 150+, and are being assholes in the meantime

    You should try Italy. Total culture shock the first time I drove there. Especially, entering via Switzerland where they are completely anal about traffic rules.

  • Realtek's $10 tiny 10GbE network adapter is coming to motherboards later this year

    Jump

  • I think 10GbE is more intended for local applications than for internet. Say, you have a NAS with a RAID array of nvme drives for video editing purposes that you want to access from a few workstations.

    Even the other day I was quite happy to have 2.5GbE when I installed my new gaming PC, and steam was able to pull all my games directly from my old computer rather than downloading them over the internet again.

    Anyway, LAN speeds have always been an order of magnitude higher than common internet speeds, so I don't see the issue.

  • Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.

  • My user.js file is entirely platform independent. I use it on Linux, Windows and even used it on my work provided Macbook. FYI: user.js only contains the settings you want to change, it's not the whole prefs.js file. It's just 63 lines.

    I agree that chrome feels cleaner and needs a lot less fiddling to get right, but chrome is effectively dead for me. I switched to firefox for much more important reasons than a few UI annoyances.

    Jump

  • Yes, to completely turn it off, it's an about:config setting: extensions.pocket.enabled

    Removing it from the toolbar just hides it, but keeps it running.

  • with every fucking install on every machine. for years.

    Multiplied by all the other annoyances you have to turn off, via either gui or about:config, each and every time. I feel you.

    I hop machines fairly frequently, use multiple browsing profiles, and often create discardable profiles, so I eventually just went ahead and spent some time tracing all the about:config equivalents of the settings that I typically change every time and then put them in a user.js file that I can just drop into my profile directory.

  • Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers

  • You can protect yourself from that with airgapping and backups. The bigger issue is probably that it's becoming increasingly hard to source parts for such old hardware.

  • ultimate storage hack

    Jump

  • You can give me any file, and I can create a compression algorithm that reduces it to 1 bit. (*)

    (*) No guarantees about the size of the decompression algorithm or its efficacy on other files

  • When you run out of characters, you simply create another 0 byte file to encode the rest.

    Check mate, storage manufacturers.

  • My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with?

    Jump

  • Try industrial label printers. They are like printers on hard mode.

  • What’s a good terminal emulator for windows to connect to ssh and WSL?

    Jump

  • I use Windows Terminal nowadays. It feels more clunky and slow than say, foot or kitty on Linux, but it's functional.

    Before, I used to use PuTTY for ssh sessions, it feels more fluid, but it needs a lot of configuring to get the terminal behavior just right, and the settings UI is really outdated. It also doesn't support WSL (unless you run sshd on WSL and ssh into the system).

  • That's only for a single case comparison. You can't draw statistically meaningful conclusions about what percentage of traffic the pihole has blocked over a longer period of time.

  • Yeah no ublock origin really won’t block all that many

    Meh, it's fairly easy to check this you know. If I turn off uBlock, my pihole logs do turn red. If it's left on, pihole logs stay mostly green, with nothing suspicious or out of the ordinary getting through.

    the chattiest DNS comes from apps and smart devices, windows and mac laptops etc.

    I don't have many of those. My work laptop is windows but it connects through a VPN only, and I have my smartphone that I barely use at home.

  • Why call it secondary then, that’s so counterintuitive lol

    I don't think that's even the official naming. It probably comes from what Windows 95 called it back in the day:

    On Linux, it's just an additional "nameserver x.x.x.x" line in /etc/resolv.conf, with no indication of which is the "primary" or "secondary".
