Tired: going EV-only because of the environment and future-proofing

Wired: going EV-only because the gas/petrol is so darnged expensive to import

If you want to read the gritty-nitty of how exactly was the Widevine blob patched and worked around specifically to not violate the DMCA, here’s the specific article

Personally, the current environment has led me to avoid most of the popular culture instead.

At least it seems like you can still do a backup, re-lock the bootloader, apply for an upgrade, then unlock the bootloader again and restore the backup - right?

Is there a way to lock the bootloader and keep a ROM different from the one the device shipped with? Or do I need to relock and reunlock every time I need to update the custom ROM, with all the data loss this implies?

While online I have most of my items under lock and key, my personal computer at home is set to boot automatically with my password (since the attack vector of “having the feds raid my home” is fortunately not an issue for me). So in the rare case that I’m no longer available, my family can just get my user names and passwords from my computer

Expecting Colombia, Peru, Chile and South Africa to be next on the pumping

If you use Docker, somebody has been taking the effort of wrapping the new Rust-based self-hosted sync server into a Docker recipe: https://github.com/jeena/fxsync-docker

I’m currently using YunoHost behind CG-NAT with a Wireguard VPS bypass, but plan on moving to a Dockerized setup soon because of YNH still using an outdated version of Debian. What do you recommend me to keep my setup as similar to YNH?

You can always try searching on Trending Communities or New Communities, that’s where I’ve found many new interesting communities to follow and I have both of them on my RSS feed to ensure I don’t miss any news. In related topics, the main Wordpress.com site is finally enabling ActivityPub so expect many blogs to start interacting with the Fediverse and, who knows, directly cross-posting to Lemmy.

Currently using Revanced, I’m hoping to see a way to actually integrate my Google account with something else, in a similar manner to what SmartTube is somehow allowed to do.

My only issue with Newpipe is that I can’t sync my “watch later” list with Google’s servers. That, and I can’t reply to comments straight from the app. Otherwise I’d probably be using either that or Piped.

I’d love to use it on my smartphone as well… problem is the interface was designed to react only to directional buttons, not to touch inputs. I wonder if somebody can manage to add the ability in the source code?

So, has somebody managed to mod the missing Spider-Man missions into the PC version of the game?

My setup is similar, but what I have is one UPS for the things that shouldn’t go down in case of power outage (the modem and server) and another for everything else in my room that can go down for a while without much loss (the computer, consoles, screen, etcetera)

And this is where I wonder, how long until Matrix servers preemptively defederate from WhatsApp?

Hopefully that means the PC port is coming soon!

Japan has one of the most draconian copyright laws in the world. You can’t even rent your own books or disks unless the copyright holder allows for it. I’ve been puzzled at the fact that they have allowed Let’s Plays (and memes and remixes and doujin works for that matter) for such a long time.

Sure, this is the configuration file used by Firefish: https://github.com/misskey-dev/misskey/blob/develop/.config/example.yml

Generally it’s stored in /var/www/firefish/.config/default.yml and you want to change these lines:

clusterLimit: 1
deliverJobConcurrency: 64
inboxJobConcurrency: 8

That way the system will use a single thread and process fewer inbox / outbox requests in parallel. This of course may impact performance, but for a single-user server it will work well enough.

You can set Firefish and Misskey to use fewer workers. It can work with as little as one, for maximum RAM savings.
