Performance… or lack of it. Overhead.

Some apps are only available as appimages.

Yeah I know, I was just joking around, still AppImages are annoying.

TCB13 , 8 months ago to linux in Just learned about AppImageLauncher

Appimage and snap. Why no flatpak?

I know why. They’re most likely running into this scenario as well.

TCB13 , 8 months ago to linux in Just learned about AppImageLauncher

The best launcher you can get for AppImages is to just drop the thing and move to Flatpaks that don’t take 2 seconds to launch apps.

All they need to do is request the content from you, watch you send to them, and make a record of your ip address. The blacklist, maybe protects you. No idea

Yes I’m aware of this fact. And I’m not saying what I do is for anyone and everyone, not even suggesting it.

Not even “regular” EU citizens can to much about it it seems.

Yeah but those will get pirated content either way. The problem is the 80% that won’t be able to do it as just trash the boxes.

The proposed legislation says that browsers “can’t do adicional validations on the certificates from the CA” (more or less this wording) meaning a simple check CAA DNS check from a browser would be against said legislation.

TCB13 , 8 months ago to linux in Fedora or Mint for noob?

Go with Debian, install software using the GNOME Software GUI, it can be configured to use flatpak so you’ll get the latest software without the snap overhead on a very stable base system.

TCB13 , 8 months ago to linux in Fedora or Mint for noob?

Maybe Debian.

TCB13 , 8 months ago to technology in Last Chance to fix eIDAS: Secret EU law threatens Internet security — Mozilla

This is a shit show. People complain a lot about the UK breaking encryption and meanwhile the EU is doing the same, at a higher level without people even noticing.

Here the TL:DR; for anyone unfamiliar with the subject: eIDAS includes a lot of useful stuff but also requires browser to include CA designed by member states. Including a CA means that entity can issue SSL certificates that will be accepted / valid on those browser > this means the countries controlling those CA’s can simply argue “national security” and have those CA’s issue SSL certificates for ANY domain they would like and then use them to launch a man-in-the-middle attack against anyone they would like to. :)

if you’re paying for a vpn, then paying for usenet is no different.

But I’m not. The only thing I’m going is requiring encrypting from all peers and using this blacklist.

Guess I’m a fucking legend 😂 😂

TCB13 , 8 months ago to selfhosted in Is it possible to run Nextcloud and Wordpress on one low-spec server? (using Docker/Podman)

You’re also ignoring the amount of work the kernel has to do to shift UUIDs around, the resources that the docker daemon itself uses and amounts of redundant stuff to make sure those processes are running that would usually be handled by systemd on a clean system. Yes, containerization is much better nowadays but still overhead.

Torrents certainly still have their place, but Usenet is just generally superior in all aspects,

Yeah something payed, closed and not open is certainly better. lol

TCB13 , 8 months ago to piracy in Usenet

torrents are typically 1-2mbps maybe 3 if you’re lucky and if you’re not it can take days to complete

That’s not my experience at all, I’m usually downloading at around 200-350Mbps (can’t do more that’s the limit of my connection) on TV shows etc.
