  • Yes, but element selectors based on the tag name alone are considered bad practise. Especially in bigger HTML sites. Even more so if you use a JS library / framework or some broad browser stylesheet underneath, or you use the same stylesheet in several places.

    Also, a div or img tag can be a button with its own event listener as well. That may be asking for trouble as well, but I've been there (not proud of it).

  • criminol

  • mstsc.exe was exactly the one I used. I vaguely remember that I had used that successfully some years ago (in a much bigger environment with proper certs) and it worked.

    Regarding NLA: I believe that I would have to disable that on purpose no? It was on a very vanilla Windows 11 install. I just looked and regarding any other settings than the ones listed in mstsc.exe, I get told that Windows 11 Home edition doesn't support RDP lol.

  • I recently used the old Windows RDP client they refer to. I tried to connect to a Windows VM and it didn't work. Had to pull out some old log utility tool and filter a while to recognize the server didn't use a valid TLS certificate (lives inside a VPN) and the handshake failed. Tried disabling cert validation (although I'm not sure if that one obfuscated option did exactly that), still no luck.

    I then tried KRDP in KDE. It asked me if I'm sure I wanted to connect since the cert is self signed. It even showed me the cert info and I know the issuer in person. I accepted and got in. Easy as that.

  • I love how fast it is, but the PWA is missing some features like showing likes + dislikes + ratio. Maybe I just didn't search enough tough.

    The crosspost grouping feature is a godsend. I hope Clients like Interstellar are going to implement it.

  • Must surely suck to be the guy. He (unintentionally probably) created a safe space for people hating him. I guess contributions on the Lemmy Github or other fediverse projects like piefed are welcome and probably more efficient than trying to force one of the two lead developers out with a petition.

  • This was meant more as an utopian wish statement of well standardized and interconnected ecosystems instead of trying to teach anyone how to use their phone lol. I'm well aware that we're moving into the other direction sadly and I also hate that I have to use apps for what should have been a website in the first place.

    I'm not really affected by this and can't say much about the existing needs beyond what iOS and Android are offering on the OS level though. I totally understand that a website is a much better starting point for this if you're starting from scratch, given a responsive implementation approach and no DRM and obfuscation measures applied.

  • Most accessibility options are already baked into the OS. There should be no need to configure anything related inside the App. You'd have to implement responsive design though, which is not only an accessibility problem but should be common sense by now.

  • Says / asks an article in a media spin-off created by a big fintech company, which has been funded by, among others, Peter Thiel by a big digital finance publisher / SaaS and advertising company with a history of not disclosing their investors, probably laying off people and heavily investing in AI themselves.

    Yes, the tech sector is in a harsh condition, but we will go on. Don't let the AI hype / lay off waves for an overhired tech workforce from covid break your minds. There will be a need for smart people building and maintaining ecosystems, as long as a rising tech oligarchy won't gatekeep us all out, which should be the headline here.

    Edit: I can't find a link between the fintech wise and the publisher wise. I still don't like this type of sensationalist headlines as all technology gets allegedly obsoleted every other year.

  • That was a great read. Let's hope the author is right with most of it, especially the part where they predict an upcoming focus on teaching media/information literacy as a tool of societal resilience.

    Hard to give you hints when we don't know what your background is, so here is some basics:

    For starting selfhosting I'd recommend getting comfortable with the linux command line at first (this may help: https://www.linuxcommand.org/). Set up a VM in Virt-manager / VirtualBox / VMWare / whatever hypervisor you want, install a Linux image (I'd recommend plain Debian without desktop environment). Now you have a sandbox where you can toy around. If you're on windows you can use WSL2. If you're already on a linux desktop, toy around there.

    If you already got some hardware like a raspberry pi or old Laptop, get that up and running with a distro of your choice, plug it into your network and SSH into it, then you have got your playground there. Get the basic commands in like ls, pwd, cat, tail, touch, mkdir, rm, ... And some things you can do with them. Check out their respective man-pages.

    After that, install some packages, change configs (I'd recommend nano over vim for starters). From now on, there are no boundaries of what to do. Set up your first basic webserver with apache / nginx / caddy, install docker / podman and containerize / get some images, set up pihole, nextcloud, jellyfin, do whatever you like... Congratulations, you are now "self hosting".

    Maybe some day switch that Raspberry pi out for a thin client as seen in the picture from OP and install a hypervisor like Proxmox on it. If you got all that, which may take a while, you can consider networking and firewalls IMHO (you could get a cheap router that supports OpenWRT to learn about these things). Don't open ports to the internet as long as you're not 100% sure what you are doing. You can set up a VPN with DynDNS on most modems / routers connected to your ISP though, opening up your self hosted services only to you / anyone with access. Or use something like Tailscale / Twingate.

    I could go on, but like I said, self hosting and home labbing is kind of use case / requirement specific.

  • You not caring about the implications because you can avoid it in your own home could have come across as not helpful to the greater cause I guess.

  • Probably because you should care about the fuckton of TVs being sold and in circulation with software that is just some of the worst privacy violations bundled together in a case behind a big LCD/OLED panel. There is no option to avoid it and probably no option to install something else on the hardware you bought and therefor should be yours to do whatever you want to with it. I even read that some connect to open wifi access points without passwords to reach the internet.

  • Shout out to yt-dlp, the absolute unit of software beneath lots of media scraping tools.

    You can also use MPV Video player, should be able to play many URLs you throw at it.

  • Today I read a thread of people using the photo mode of death stranding to prove they are Norman Reedus. While this certainly won't be the end to the story, it's kind of funny this iteration of a clearly unfinished age verification system got out there. Makes me wonder how good they are going to protect their "customers" data.

  • Or Caddy (simpler than and imho spiritual successor to nginx).

    Or Traefik (has loads of convenient middlewares for reverse proxy stuff).

    Or Apache (if it is somehow better suited to your use case).

  • Of course not! I will only get organic / grass fed computers with a OS preinstalled by the vendor. They only do this to protect the users and not for the fuckton of money MS shoves into their throats.

  • inb4 Linux users sweepingly get declared as criminals for some flimsy reason. There was some news of Facebook filtering out Linux content because it seemed harmful to them.

  • I actually plan on putting hardware related stuff on an extra pi since I only run a single proxmox node right now. Would be home assistant and nut tools for the ups but I might put pihole and unbound on that as well.

    I am worried about the performance though because of home assistant. And it is pretty comfortable to have everything on one host that is far from being used to capacity anyway.

  • Will they though? Facebook has already created undisclosed bot accounts themselves before. A Platform where real users and such bots are indistinguishable (for the user) sounds like a social media corpos and authoritarian governments wet dream to me. Also reminds me of the attempts to disguise ads as natural content.
