Soon we will have to call it GNU/systemd/Linux

Check your ad-blocker, some blocklists have blocked files.catbox.moe for some reason unknown to me.

I wonder if they will ever implement ActivityPub and federate. I know, there’s fear of “Embrace, Extend and Extinguish”, but still, that would allow privacy-minded people to follow Threads users without giving them such data by using Mastodon, CalcKey and other micro-blogging apps.

DMs on the fediverse (and Lemmy) are posts with a specific visibility that marks them as DMs. They are sent like any other posts, so there’s no encryption and instance admins could in theory read them in the database.

I haven’t been able to subscribe to communities I’m not already subscribed to using Sync, I usually go on the web interface.

If you want to search for already copied communities, you should search lemmit’s local communities. To request new ones, you have to post on [email protected], but keep in mind that the bot is broken until its author updates it.

By illegal, do you mean against Lemmy’s rules or against legislation?

For the former, I think it’s up to each communities rules. In general, bots should be marked as such so that users can chose to hide them if they wish. For the latter, apart from neighboring rights which allows news outlets in some countries to seek remuneration from links to articles, there’s nothing illegal in sharing links on Lemmy.

As for existing bots copying posts from Reddit, there is lemmit.online but is has been broken since Reddit removed their RSS feeds.

Not sure what you are looking for, do you want to call landline European numbers from another continent? Or do you live in the EU and want to make calls to landlines in other EU country? If the latter, please define “privacy respecting” because if what you want is for the service to not log your calls, I’m afraid they are obligated by legislation.

center is mostly for centering text and is being deprecated in favor of text-align and margin-*: auto https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/center

Have you checked in the BIOS that on-board Ethernet hasn’t been disabled somehow? If not, try disabling it, reboot and enabling it back. I know my MSI board has a similar issue with the WiFi/Bluetooth chipset.

Why doesn’t html just have hcenter and vcenter tags or something?

HTML is a markup language, its purpose is to structure documents, while CSS can be seen as an additional layer that allows you to style and alter the layout of HTML documents. Because of this philosophy, it wouldn’t make any sense to have such tags.

I wasn’t expecting this to work, and yet it does: https://css-tricks.com/the-peculiar-magic-of-flexbox-and-auto-margins/

When Sam says, “that item will automatically extend its specified margin to occupy the extra space in the flex container,” the way my empty filing cabinet brain interprets that is like so:

Setting the margin property on a flex child will push the child away from that direction. Set margin-left to auto, the child will push right. Set margin-top to auto and the child will push to the bottom.

[…]

Why is this useful to know? Well, I think there are a few moments where justify-self or align-self might not get you exactly what you want in a layout where using auto margins gives you that extra flexibility to fine-tune things.

I’m not sure how I feel about the Bitcoin and Etherum jokes, I’m afraid they are too current and won’t age well, much like the Fulu ones.

Thank you for the image description 🥰

Check in your BIOS if on-board Ethernet is disabled. I think on MSI motherboards it’s under “Integrated Peripherals”. If not this, check PCI settings in the BIOS.

Oh, thanks for this precision, I wasn’t aware of this. And now that I think of it, it’s obvious that the first exchange with a server has to be unencrypted

ISP still knows which sites you connect to.

Yes, because they know the IPs your packets go to, but if there are multiple websites behind a single IP they won’t know which one (unless you use your ISP DNS server, which you should probably not)

Which YouTube video you are watching to. etc.

No, because the URL is contained within the HTTP packets which are encrypted with SSL (the S in HTTPS), so unless the ISP does MiM, they cannot know which URL you are visiting.

Excuse me for my lack of understanding, but why are there so many people looking to hide their traffic from their ISP with a VPN? Isn’t HTTPS enough? Are you afraid of ISPs resorting to DPI or MiM to spy on their users? Is customer protection so weak in the US that ISPs are free to spy on their customers using aforementioned techniques?

Edit: I just realized that I left out people leaving under authoritarian regimes, for whom VPNs are unfortunately required to evade their government.

Adding to what has already been said by other commenters, if the data is really important you should consider an off-site backup in addition to your external hard drive backup. It could be Dropbox, Google Drive, Backblaze, a hard drive in another place, as long as you can recover your data in case your home gets robbed or destroyed (flood, fire).

Been on Kbin first, then moved to Lemmy because I wanted to self-host and Lemmy was much more easier to set up than Kbin. Also even though I prefered Kbin’s interface at first on the desktop, Lemmy’s is much better on smartphones.
