The thing that I find the most funny about this post, is the fact that you call this Italian

As long as Raspberry Pi doesn't start ripping off their customers, I will happily stay with them. Most other SBCs are made by Chinese companies, which I definitely won't buy. Hell no, I'm not supporting the Chinese economy.

impure9435 ,

Unfortunately they use Chinese CPUs (made by Rockchip)

impure9435 ,

Libre Computer offers some SBCs with Amlogic CPUs. I think the Le Potato might be the most popular one. I just ordered an Alta AML-A311D-CC. I'm really excited to try out how well it performs!

The Lemmy Universal Link Switcher is awesome

impure9435 ,

Maybe this one? https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469273-lemmy-universal-link-switcher

impure9435 ,

Is it the best?

In my experience, yes. Definitely the best one.
All the other ones I tried are much worse.

Is your browser installed as a Flatpak?

Blogger Alternative for the Fediverse

[UPDATE] Thank you for your comments but I found that Write Freely was well on paper but not funny to set up (self hosting) and maybe a little dead. I found that bearblog.dev met the specifications well. Although it is not integrated into the Fediverse, it is free and respectful of privacy!...

Plume is pretty cool

Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year’s $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan...

impure9435 ,

Apple Music only raised the price by $1 since the launch in 2015 (9 years ago). But they added cool features like lossless audio quality and Dolby Atmos. They also had lyrics like 6 years before Spotify added them. I think you can even get it for $6 dollars if you're a student.

impure9435 ,

I've been using Apple Music on Android for years, I definitely recommend it. The app is totally fine, I think it's still better than Spotify's crappy app. On desktop you can use the Cider app, which is much better than iTunes. It's even available on Linux.

lmao

GrapheneOS has a convenient auto-reboot feature

impure9435 ,

The main purpose of this is actually security. Because when the device is in BFU (before first unlock) state, it's much harder to gain access to the data (without the correct unlock credentials). During the reboot, the encryption keys are wiped from RAM, making it essentially impossible to access the device, since brute-force unlock attempts are prohibited by Weaver API, which is enforced by the Titan M2 hardware security module. You can read more about this at https://grapheneos.org/faq#encryption

impure9435 ,

It doesn't intentionally disable biometrics. Disabling biometrics is just a logical consequence of wiping the encryption keys from RAM. Your data is encrypted with your password as the key (not exactly, it first goes through a key derivation function, but the PIN/password is the entry point for the KDF). Your biometric information can't decrypt your data, as your data is not encrypted with your biometric information as the key. When using biometrics, the encryption key is kept in RAM, and the biometric data is only validated by the OS. No actual decryption occurs here. The data on your phone is only being decrypted during the first unlock after a reboot. That's why security states are grouped into BFU (before first unlock) and AFU (after first unlock).

It's not maintained anymore. The last commit is 8 months old. Use Bypass Paywalls Clean instead, here's the Firefox version: https://github.com/bpc-clone/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean

impure9435 ,

I recommend switching to Bypass Paywalls Clean, since Bypass Paywalls is not maintained anymore.

Use archive.is to access the full article

impure9435 ,

12ft.io and archive.is are also worth trying out if BPC doesn't work for some reason. There are also self-hosted solutions like 13ft and ladder.

We need a successful replacement to DirectX for this to happen.

Vulkan?

Kodi is ideal for an HTPC

impure9435 ,

Awesome

Btw you don't have to go on Shitter, the account is on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/lucia.red

impure9435 ,

It's not perfect, but much better than going to Shitter. Some people apparently find Mastodon obscure or confusing and switched to Bluesky instead. Supposedly it's more friendly towards new users. I just hope that bridgy-fed improves and becomes more common in the future, so we can follow Bluesky accounts from the Fediverse and vice-versa.

impure9435 ,

I don't really use it that much either, I prefer Lemmy/Kbin

impure9435 ,

That's one of the reasons why I love Mullvad, they actually care about their customers, not just about their bottom line

impure9435 ,

I'm pretty sure they are profitable, considering they were founded in March of 2009. You can't really run a company without profits for 14 years, right? Just routing network traffic isn't that expensive after all. They are the only ones being honest about it, other VPNs charge way more because they only want to extract money from their customers.

impure9435 ,

It's actually the other way around, the more users you have the cheaper everything eventually becomes

impure9435 ,

Yes, there's no reason this wouldn't apply to a VPN provider. It's also the reason NordVPN or Surfshark is so incredibly cheap.

They have lots of users -> They can pay lots of money for advertising -> They get more users -> Everything becomes cheaper -> They can pay more for advertising

You get the point

impure9435 , (edited )

They got rid of port forwarding to improve the reputation of their IP ranges. That makes it less likely for Mullvad users to get blocked by CDNs like Cloudflare and Akamai when visiting websites. If you want port forwarding, just use AirVPN or rent a VPS and use that. Not sure what you're talking about, but Mullvad is based in Sweden, which is not a part of the five eyes alliance. It's a part of 14 eyes, but Sweden has very strong privacy laws, Mullvad even has an entire page about privacy legislation in Sweden: https://mullvad.net/en/help/swedish-legislation

They also have a page that explains how Sweden being part of the 14 eyes alliance doesn't really affect Mullvad: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/5-9-or-14-eyes-your-vpn-actually-safe

Their office was also raided by prosecutors last year, and they weren't able to seize any customer information, because Mullvad doesn't store anything about their customers:

The FAA investigates after Boeing says workers in South Carolina falsified 787 inspection records (apnews.com)

The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday, May 6, 2024, that it has opened an investigation into Boeing after the beleaguered company reported that workers at a South Carolina plant falsified inspection records on certain 787 planes. Boeing said its engineers have determined that misconduct did not create “an immediate...

I highly recommend this Al Jazeera documentary, they seem to be the only ones covering the Boeing controversy who actually have some balls

IMO the best Linux desktop experience that you can get right now

impure9435 ,

I always use https://flathub.org/apps/org.freedownloadmanager.Manager

impure9435 ,

For me it was actually the other way around, I had issues with the normal package so I went with the flatpak.

impure9435 ,

I don't really remember, that was a few years ago. I've been using the flatpak ever since.

impure9435 ,

@remindme 1 week

impure9435 ,

Yeah, OPSEC is really important and over the years many people got caught because of bad OPSEC. PomPomPurin, the guy who ran BreachForums is a pretty good example of this: https://youtu.be/1fZWHeHICws

That's how a good portion of the Dark web works, and I find it amazing

impure9435 ,

The dumbest excuse ever, and somehow, all kinds of western leaders, companies and citizens were tricked into believing it

impure9435 ,

They are all undercover Hamas members trying to disrupt Israel's political system /s

impure9435 ,

Yeah because we have an actual working legal system

impure9435 ,

Also known as: Windows

impure9435 ,

Kinda meant it as a joke, could actually be true but I don't really believe in it

impure9435 ,

Even if they do, it's not that easy to shut down a Tor website. This usually only happens when someone runs a Darknet marketplace and sells drugs. Never heard of a onion site shutdown because of DMCA.

impure9435 ,

Yes. War always has a negative impact on the economy, and trust me, if the US care about one thing, then that is money.
