Maybe the answer is not to flash some obscure on life support operating system on your Google pixel but rather… maybe the answer is to work within the system and simply adjust privacy controls as allotted?

And when those controls are removed because most people went along with it and they were determined as a waste of development time by a corporate or government entity because people also give up on that then what? This is not an answer to anything, it’s complacency that will just erode privacy more and make the problem worse.

Can I ask why you used this in place of “th” mostly but not always?

Three actually I think.

When you have a new PC, put it on the old one too. You could run a Jellyfin server off it it or use it as a NAS device or something.

Well that’s not too bad honestly, so long as you know where you are to begin with. Thanks for testing!

Interesting, I haven’t heard of this. Thank you!

I’ll take a look, thank you!

I have not, but I saw someone recommending something similar as well, I’ll have to read up. Thanks!

Nice to see they took it under consideration for the future though! Thanks!

Interesting nonetheless, thanks!

Yes, I have edited my post to reflect that.

I would not be able to use the browser for use cases in which I am in the woods, wanting to look at the maps for the purpose of mapping out trails etc. It would also be handy for typical internet outage situations etc.

Is that a starship prompt? How do you style that divider above the prompt that way? It looks really good.

edit: I’ve read up a bunch on starship and now understand, very nice.

Yes, and this should mean financially supporting it. Just using it does not equate to supporting, and usually telling windows friends that you use arch btw and so should they does not equate either.

Perhaps consider a SOCKS5 reverse proxy. If done over SSH, the client systems networking would act as though they are on the server itself, traffic would be secure, and it would walk around most firewall rules that probably exist.

Using key based authentication would also make it such that it is more secure and easier for the researchers to log in - they wouldn’t even have to remember a password, they would just need some SSH client/configs.

Specifically, read up on “bastion hosts”.

This kid is going to have a career.

Make good connections with people you trust internationally. If it really comes down to it, between friends, people who care could work together to set up SOCKS5 tunnels or some such to walk around it pretty cleanly, but you would really have to trust whoever you give credentials to since they would be using your internet connection for whatever. Could also straight up just install the OpenVPN server for this.

Once or twice I have opened a tunnel to friends on one of my servers through a bastion host - any outgoing traffic from the server goes through my own VPN, so it wouldn’t matter if they couldn’t access a VPN in their country.

For anyone who doesn’t care to learn, which in my experience is the vast majority of all people, not much can be done. Even the people I meet who say they do feel that they care deeply mainly just like to be loud about that, but never actually put in the work to learn how to do something as simple as use ssh -D, let alone learn how a proxy actually functions.

I suppose the best those in the know can do is to make it clear that they do know. Should friends actually begin to care, then they will know who to go to for possible solutions.

Might be Panon?

Plasma is nuts, it’s customizability is wonderful. I just spent a few hours last week redoing my layout and theming with a gruvbox feel for my desktop system. I named the configuration gruvfox.

I used gnome for the longest time, but after discovering the true power of KDE I don’t think there is ever any going back for me.

Yea I have libredirect running to show me reddit stuff on alt front ends should I click a link that usually goes to it, but when talking about linkwarden I meant to make it in reference to preventing link-rot for anything in general on any site in the future as well, not just reddit.

Yea, this kind of problem is only going to get worse I expect.

I set up self-hosted linkwarden the other day to try to avoid this going forward.
