  • That's basically it. It guarantees you can always access your computer remotely, even if you broke your ssh, or accidentally messed up your network config, or can't boot due to filesystem corruption and need to run fsck from recovery mode.

  • VPN companies don't need much advertising these days. The customers will come by themselves!

  • You can't replace Android because those devices are locked down and have no open source driver available, but you can install various Linux distribution on top of Android. Check out UserLAnd or Termux.

  • You might want to try migrating your nextcloud instance to postgres instead of mysql/mariadb. Many people says they get some big performance boost. I'm going to try it myself next weekend to see if it's true.

  • Sounds like your instance have federation issue, probably due to v0.19.0 updates. The latest version, v0.19.1, supposed to fix those federation issues. Not sure what's the server specs of your instance, but v0.19.x has increased database ram usage compared to previous versions, so if the instance is hosted on a tiny server, the admin may need to do some tinkering to make sure the federation process doesn't crash due to out-of-memory issue.

  • I'm going to try this next week. My nextcloud instance is getting a bit sluggish lately.

  • Which one do you prefer? Duck Duck Go or Bing, which are actually have ads? I wouldn't recommend kagi if I don't have positive experience using it in the last two months. There are so few players in search engine space so I always welcome new players. Paid search engine is actually a good idea if you think about it.

  • Why would google even attempt to fix their search results? Just look at your own anecdote, you just spent an hour searching stuff on google, and perhaps saw an hour worth of ads in the search result. This counts as positive metrics on some exec's report about how search usage increase year after year.

    If anything, a paid search engine like Kagi actually have reverse incentive that they want you to search as little as possible to reduce their server costs, and thus must be able to produce great search result so you won't spend more resource searching over and over again. Subscribing to Kagi is more useful than subscribing to youtube premium imo.

  • Maybe look into deploying a Socks5 proxy (e.g. socks5-server)? Then you can use socks5 browser extensions like FoxyProxy

  • The US and other western countries don't really feel the pressure of IPv4 scarcity yet. ISPs in other countries typically uses CGNAT or IPv6. Some even give you a routable IPv4 but may randomly replaced it with an ip behind their CGNAT when the lease is expired, giving you false sense of hope.

  • Sponsorblock has an interesting stats here: https://sponsor.ajay.app/stats/

    They have over 15 millions segments blocked. Not sure how many of them are ads and what's the total lengths of those ads relative to the actual video though.

  • To think the day Gentoo goes binary would finally come...

    Next: Slackware get automatic dependency resolution

  • For context, the Aceh province is muslim-majority and governed by sharia law (the rest of Indonesia is not governed by sharia law) so logically should have no problem accepting fellow muslim refugees. But turns out they're not getting along with the locals and often got involved with fights with the locals, leading to complete rejection by Aceh's citizens these days. The conflicts are getting so bad recently a mob stormed a refugee shelter to force them to relocate.

  • Maybe check the xml tab? Could it be that those three entries share the same bus id?
