Yeah at least Google will let you in after you solve 5 puzzles. It’s shit but it’s possible. With CloudFlare you are at the mercy of whatever hidden criteria they’re using.

If you change your user agent from Firefox to Chrome for instance, CloudFlare will never let you through.

I thought it was weird such an old piece of software had so much Rust in it. I noticed all the Rust-related things while Firefox Librewolf compiles but never looked into it further.

Plasma actually has a UI for smart TVs if you weren’t aware, although I have never used it myself so I’m not sure how good it is. https://plasma-bigscreen.org

I agree with the sentiment, when things get too popular every sub becomes more generic and filled with recycled or low effort content. But there’s a happy medium. It would be nice if there were enough people that some more niche communities had activity.

That’s a really clever login system.

I have actually been seeing some timestamps that are completely wrong lately, maybe this is why.

I also use the Jellyfin+Symfonium combo. There is also Finamp as the free and open source option. And Feishin on desktop.

That’s my experience as well. Now I use a SearXNG instance with Google as the only source and it works well I’d say roughly 97% of the time.

I did not realize that. That explains why it’s not on F-Droid. Really unfortunate but at least it can still be publicly audited.

The version on the Play Store requires a “premium” subscription for some features but the Github release gets those for free.

Try Keyguard, it is open source and much nicer than the regular Bitwarden app. Do not use the version from the Play Store though, get it directly from Github.

So following your argument further, if we all did this no one would produce anything because they’d never get paid.

You are literally saying this on Lemmy. A piece of software that is developed for free using other software/tools that are free, and run on servers that are hosted by others for free. Most open source projects work this way. People are fully capable of doing things because they want to. Not everything needs to be profit-driven.

If we all did this, what would happen is there would be way less slop and lazy cash-grabs. Because the only people left making things would be the ones who are actually passionate and believe in what they do.

I’ve never seen that abbreviation for it before.

It’s actually in the domain: https://slsknet.org

Just buy them on eBay. Why does it matter where they come from? Again, four of them have to die before it’s no longer worth it. It’s extremely unlikely you’d be that unlucky.

Personally I have 15 drives in my NAS, all of them were bought used and they’ve been running 24/7 for 4+ years without issue. Originally I expected to lose at least one per year but they just keep chugging along. All of them have at least 40k power on hours, with the oldest 3TB ones having over 80k (9+ years)

I use unRAID so if/when one does die it’s as simple as pulling out the dead one, popping in a new one, and letting it rebuild itself.

Especially for hard drives. 8TB SAS drives are down to about $45 a piece.

Brand new enterprise-grade 8TB drives are more around $180 new. Meaning as long as you have redundancy (which you should anyway) then you can lose four used drives before it stops being worth it. Not to mention drives get cheaper so if your $45 drive dies 2 years from now you could probably replace it for $35 etc.

Arch and EndeavourOS are the same thing. There is no functional difference between using one or the other. They both use pacman and have the same repos.

Weird. I’ve had a Pi-Hole + Unbound running on a Pi Zero since 2018 and it’s never had any issues. I expected the Zero to kinda suck but it has been nothing but smooth sailing. It gets USB power from my router and even if my router reboots the Pi also auto reboots itself.

I do next to no maintenance on it and it just keeps on chugging along. Maybe once every six months or so I SSH in and do a pihole -up and that’s it.

I like lemdro.id because they haven’t really defederated from anyone except for spam instances

I chose them for the same reason, they actually aren’t defederated from any instances as far as I can tell. I would rather choose which content I want to see for myself than have someone else do it for me. Plus there is old.lemdro.id which makes me feel right at home.

16GB should be the absolute bare minimum with 32GB being standard at this point.

Same with Cox, the default is 1.25 TB. I pay extra for unlimited and use around 7 TB per month. Haven’t heard any complaints for the 2 years I’ve had them. I have a feeling the threshold is something like 8 or 10 TB but I’d rather not find out.
