Is there any point of logging in with a different account?

When you edit & save a file as root, root takes ownership of that file. I personally don’t like having to run chmod or chown every time I make minor changes to something.

Wrong…

Unless you’re an Israel citizen then why does it matter? Chances are you passed data through an Israel server at some point in time whether it be directly or not.

If you use it just as A VPN it could be fine ig.

If I’m not mistaken Orbot passes traffic through the Tor network which will significantly reduce network speeds.

Someone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Yeah I was looking into Linux based mobile OS’s and I’ve come to the consensus that hardware selection is very limited.

I was very interested in GrapheneOS but unfortunately it’s for Pixel phones only.

Ntsync got rid of performance degradation that can occur with some games under esync and fsync

This explains SO MUCH! I was getting frustrated when games start out perfectly fine than 30 minutes in frames would drop significantly.

I was so hyped when the EU pressured Apple into allowing external software on Apple devices.

Apple killed that hype making the change EU only, problem is I’m encapsulated in the walled garden with an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Air Tags, HomePods.

Thinking of getting a second phone Android based to partially-escape the garden but if I ditch my iPhone all hell will break loose network wise.

Forks of Firefox (like the Tor browser) are still Firefox, no matter how neutered it is.

Yeah, it’s quite obvious how majority of the users here align politically speaking. I mean take a look at what happened to !conservative@lemmy.ml and !conservative@lemmy.world

Say anything remotely conservative and you get downvoted to oblivion, but who cares, karma doesn’t matter here.

Edit: looks like they banned/de-federated !conservative@lemmy.ml & !conservative@lemmy.world for my instance, makes sense for what happened.

9 times out of 10 the software you’re looking will typically land in your Distribution’s repository, before it lands in the main repository it’ll be vetted for stability and security in a testing repository.

For example; Steam-Installer is located in the main repository for Debian 12 (Bookworm) they also have a newer version in their Debian 13 (Trixie) repository for testing the next generation of Debian..

If you want to install software outside your distributions repository you will need to vet the software yourself and make sure it’s compatible with your distro.

Hope that explains it a little easier.

True, but there have zero incentive to honor such requests

Pretty sure 23andMe is based in California, don’t Cali laws legally require them to delete the data when requested?

Americans blame Canadians for drug smuggling, Canadians blame Americans for firearm smuggling. It’s a tit-for-tat that’s been going on for decades.

Why not just host the stack at home and VPN in? Jellyfin is pretty snappy I don’t think you’ll struggle much network wise.

Think of them as a simplified mimic to the windows file system, they create this fake C: drive & user directory with basic windows paths (user, app data, program files, etc) an you can choose what firmware gets installed to prefixes (like .Net frameworks) an all this is how people can run .exe executables on Linux.

When you run wine ./something.exe a prefix is automatically created and the application uses that prefix to make it think it’s using the windows fs.

I picked myself up a Asus NUC 13th gen I7, chose Proxmox VE as the OS (headless Debian 12 for the main VM) and have about 35 services running via Docker Compose essentially 24/7.

Is it the most elegant setup? No, but everything runs beautifully.

Just make sure your Linux kernel supports the Intel chipset as they are relatively new.

EA’s fancy new kernel level anti-cheat is plaguing battlefield games. Also Rockstar broke GTA:O with their Anti-cheat (even though the Anti-cheat they use supports Linux)

Shall I introduce you to the folks over at !selfhosted@lemmy.world?

Read receipts have yet to work.

Interesting, I intentionally left RCS off on my iPhone because I didn’t know if read-receipts were on or not.

The read receipts setting use to be for iMessage only and Apple’s documentation for RCS made it seem like it was always on.

Definitely not a complete FOSS setup but I decided to go the Apple route a self-hosted Homebridge for non Apple home-kit enabled devices.

spin up a second pihole docker and upgrade them separately so they can failover to the other one while upgrading.

Think I’m going to take this advice and put it in action! Thank you!
