I would spin off the events and community pages parts into a separate app and close Facebook. I don’t care what people I went to school with are doing or what their kid is up to.
I would also stop the massive data hoarding and go back to basics. Keep what’s necessary only.
Same! Only reason I still use it is for Community events, and neighbour groups. Super useful for that. Wish there was a way to do that without being peppered by ads and reels.
Marketplace is a Kijiji replica so it could die with little consequence IMO.
I’ve been using a pihole exclusively for years on my Ubiquiti network at home. Combined with Wireguard, it’s a stable, easy ad-blocking solution. I’ve never even considered moving from it, seeing how well pihole Just Works.
That’s more-or-less what I thought. And in fact I forgot to add to my post that I also use Pihole on the go via Wireguard, which seems like another hurdle to converting to AdGuard. Thanks.
If you bother that much, why not just use the Pi as an OpenWRT router with DNS over HTTPS, and get a great router with awesome QoS and actual software updates in the process?
It has to go upstream for answered requests, so it can add 1 or 2 ms to the 45 ms it would otherwise take when you’re local. If you’re using a VPN to your home dns, it can add 75 ms and I can feel it.
I usually haven’t, but I installed Clam about a month ago on my desktop, ran a full and complete scan, then left it running scheduled scans. Hasn’t found anything, and I get a lot of software from outside of my package manager, and use wine for a lot of it, so I’d say my risk/exposure is higher than most.
I think it’s fine to go without AV on a linux desktop, but I like the peace of mind. There will definitely be more things targeting linux sytems as/if more market share is acquired, but in terms of security it’s more important that you harden the system than run an AV.
Well Reddit has years of content by millions of users, it’s definitely better to find an answer to your question but that doesn’t mean that the fediverse can’t be helpful.
Yeah really do hope the usefulness and content grows so much more on here as it would be great to see people start using it for answers like reddit is used for.
Personally I don’t use one on any platform because the antivirus companies tend to… Create problems in order to solve them. If you’re going to use one on Linux, ClamAV is probably the play. However, far better for your security is to pick a distro that publishes security patches quickly, like Debian or Arch Linux, and then to update your system frequently
Yeah, I’ve been running Fedora since the first Fedora Core release. Only ever had an issue once, back on FC4 but was easily fixed. My current laptop is 8 years old and is solid. Only issue is rotating it causes airplane mode to turn on, so I don’t rotate it.
When I was young I would spend hours taking photographs or randomly roaming around in GTA San Andreas, it was a nice break from reality to just be free. As I grow old, I find myself actually enjoying good narrative without painfully complex mechanics like Minecraft, and I presume TotK. Back then I would skip the missions and just fool around, now i would follow the missions and in the process fool around only after i get comfortable with the game world and setting.
That is always a possibility. The only av currently existing that is free is clamav - there are multiple gui frontends for it since it’s really meant for servers and stuff - I’ve mainly seen people use it to scan files before you send it to a windows user tho so not much use unless you need to do that
Mixing Vaseline with cotton and rolling it into small balls makes for surprisingly effective firestarter. Catches fire from almost everything (even flint and steel) and the burns with strong flame for like 2 minutes.
You dont need an antivirus if you don’t run software from unknown sources, and you keep your machine up to date.
For the most part, if you do all that and you’re still attacked, they would probably get past an antivirus, anyways. I’ve never had an antivirus catch anything after decades of running Windows.
A bit thing to note for people running home servers is to watch what they expose to the internet. Insecure software and insecure configurations are huge targets for botnets these days.
This is a very open-ended question. I think most people view faith as a spiritual thing. Having faith in a god or gods, but if you believe in something strongly enough, it’s possible you have faith in that.
Gravity is kind of a stupid example, I’m going to use it anyway. If you have faith in the laws of gravity that means you genuinely believe and respect the laws of gravity.
