Settle down, partner.

First thing I tried but I think you need to provide it with your YouTube login cookie to download age restricted content.

I can honestly say Ive never used x or twitter. I absolutely hate the format and it seems like a waste of life to scroll through a feed reading quick snippets of text.

At least with a reddit or Lemmy style social media platform, I can click on the text snippet and be brought to a more in depth post about it. And it’s simple to navigate replies for useful information.

Twitter is like somebody yelling something from a megaphone, then a crowd of people screaming over them randomly.

Discord is the next platform that needs to die. Online forums were perfect for what they did, then discord came along and now it’s a nightmare to comb through any type of community or support system for useful information. Again, people screaming into the void…

I use nginx for static websites and TLS passthrough servers.

I use traefik as a reverse proxy for sites with many services and SSO.

Nginx is definitely easier to configure for simple things. But I prefer traefik for more complex setups.

I’m not disagreeing that a Nazi salute is hate speech. Im disagreeing that it’s a sensible course of action to give the government the power to put a human being in a cage for doing it.

Using racial slurs is also hate speech, should a person be imprisoned for using the n-word?

Where it becomes punishable via government intervention to me should be a direct threat of violence on a group of people or call to action to do so.

I’m trying to comprehend what the intended outcome of this type of punishment is anyway. Out of sight, out of mind I guess?

Yes, stripping somebody of their freedom for using a hand gesture is dystopian. Maybe consider that you thinking otherwise makes you a radical on the other side of the spectrum.

There’s a reason fascism is becoming more popular across the globe and it’s accelerated by these overreactions. It feeds into right wing narratives and pushes people on the fence into becoming radical right more than just letting these idiots babble their bullshit and be seen for the fools they are.

I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info.

I’m sorry but why is this so heavily upvoted?

Anit-semitism and any other form of hate speech is abhorrent, but imprisonment for a gesture is absolutely dystopian.

Zip it, Scotty

You should publish a guide once you do it. That sounds pretty interesting.

FBI, open up!

Jk. Thank you for your service

Compressed air can spin the fans fast enough to cause damage unfortunately.

Did you use compressed air to clean out the fans?

It’s possible to fry circuitry if you artificially rotate the fans too fast, as this generates an electric field more powerful than the fans and their attached components are rated for.

Probably rare to cause damage with modern computers but an old PC might be more susceptible to this type of damage.

I’ve been using it for many months and I like it a lot. Only one of my banking apps doesn’t work.

Currently my main issue is that webauthn stopped working after an update. And the community support hasn’t been helpful.

I wish they had better documentation in general.

Am I understanding correctly that if users had 2FA, the vulnerability would be prevented from gaining access?

I disagree. I think if the company wants to sell its customers’ data, they need to first submit to installation of cameras in every room of each member of the board of directors private domicles, live streamed ala Fishtank style on the internet. I think that’s a fair trade.

Yeah pimeyes absolutely needs to be shut down and laws need to be in place to protect private citizens from having their information sharable and searchable without their explicit consent. “Publicly available information” is always the line people use to defend these services. I’m arguing that our modern capabilities needs to be adjusted for. Things shouldn’t be so publicly accessable in the first place and personal data aggregation should be a much more vetted and potentially licensed business. Can we talk about what other purpose these facial recognition databases serve other than to stalk, expose, or extort people? If they required proof of identity and only allowed searches of your own face then I could understand the value.

You’re right. I always thought Peertube was another YouTube frontend.

I think the only real path forward is for a developer to figure out a way to decentralize video hosting. The future of the free internet is decentralization. We’ve seen which way the wind blows when platforms are centralized.

Consumer storage is abundant and cheap as hell. There will need to be incentives for: 1. Creators 2. Node hosters 3. Moderators. Potentially AI could do the heavy lifting on number 3. Figuring out a way to avoid ad based revenue would be another hurdle. In an ideal world, creators would accept that only 10% of their viewers would contribute to them monetarily (through patreon or donations) and use the platform for its freedom from corpo bullshit.

But as much as the Foss and decentralized crowd has been growing, I think we’re still a long way out from average people becoming fed up enough to care. I still get eye rolls from everybody I know IRL when I try to get them to open an invidious link.

I’m in the same boat as you in that I need Instagram for work. My approach is to create a separate work profile in GrapheneOS. I handle all of my mobile work apps in that profile using a separate VPN from all other profiles. I don’t expect to be completely free from tracking in this profile, but for my threat model I don’t mind too much. Any web queries I make in this profile I keep strictly work related.

People arguing you just shouldn’t use Instagram need to remember Instagram is a tool just like Windows, Adobe, etc. Sometimes you need a specific tool to do your job and I believe as long as you containerize that aspect of your life then you’ll be fine.

Just don’t use your work Instagram for personal stuff, not even browsing memes.
