LibreWolf lemmyreader 2 weeks ago • 100%
Ouch, that's a nasty bug imho. Thanks to this wiki entry I've looked up the file librewolf.cfg in /var/lib/flatpak/ and changed :
pref("network.trr.mode", 2);
into
pref("network.trr.mode", 5);
and that seems to fix it for now (till a newer LibreWolf maybe overrides that file).

Thing is that searx.be has been remarkably good for my use case since a long time. With other instances YMMV.
lemmyreader 4 weeks ago • 100%
The mentioned server side changes (e.g. A server move you mentioned but could also be server settings, provider settings, etc).
I guess that is the case. According to https://searx.space/ the searx.be server is in Austria but might use some proxy to talk to Google and similar to avoid quick blocking. The maintainer of searx.be also maintains yewtu.be and that one uses proxies (The proxy names can be seen when blocking auto play of videos in Tor browser).
Also getting results in Russian here since a few days. Usually it is either Swedish or Dutch. Never German.

Indeed. I tried on mobile with LibreTube and with Mull and both fail. And also fails now in Tor browser. The list is getting shorter.

Now I've tried almost all of them in the Piped instances list (Several domain name for sale and server not found errors) and only the smnz.de one works for me. :( I am wondering whether a freshly installed self-hosted private Piped video instance will work fine.

Works for me still (Using Tor browser. I'm Europe located).

The instances list is not up to date :
- List of instances : https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances But after trying maybe more than 10 of them I found one which manages to play a video :
https://piped.smnz.de/watch?v=bBhDWTZDH9c
There's probably more working instances.
Plan B : I guess running your own Piped instance and not sharing it with a lot of people could be worth considering.
Personally I'm sticking to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Yt-dlp#Faster_downloads for the video downloading I do.

This article is about Mobifree https://f-droid.org/en/2024/05/24/mobifree.html As far as I can see F-Droid mentions that it will be a contributing partner :
For more than 14 years, F-Droid has been developing solutions which act as pieces of the alternative mobile ecosystem puzzle. So it was a natural fit for F-Droid to become a contributing partner in the broader Mobifree project.
F-Droid playing a role :
F-Droid will play a major role in this project, tasked with creating a decentralized distribution system for developers to deliver apps to Android users.
Help to create the NGI funded project Mobifree :
F-Droid is one participating organization who has joined forces to help create this new mobile ecosystem. However, additional input, expertise, inspiration and work will be needed in order to break the traditional framework established by Big Tech. From community outreach to legal support, from developers, to researchers and end users, we welcome all forms of support.
I don't read that F-droid will force ads on F-Droid on users any time soon. I can imagine F-Droid will continue to exist as it is but I could be wrong.
f-droid.org
F-Droid core It’s no secret that F-Droid continues to live and thrive thanks in part to you, the users that donate, but also in part thanks to different grants we’ve received along these 14 years of existence. Our recent post covered the endangered NGI program and its importance. The Guardian Project has been a long time supporter of F-Droid, pouring in not only grant money but also human resources. They are now looking for a part-time Grant Administrator so if you find the list of their achievements tempting and your skills match the bullet points, don’t be shy and get in contact. Who knows, maybe you can be featured here next. 😛 Back in May we’ve highlighted the work contributors around F-Droid have done in order to shine a light onto the app downloads stats. The Divested (thanks!) hosted page just got an update, covering the weeks since then: https://divestos.org/pages/fdroid_stats /PS: if you are involved with the project(s) that download Termux packages 300.000 times per week, two advices: first, do get in contact with us because we’re curious about your work, and second please try to setup a round robin script of sorts that downloads from mirrors instead since we have plenty of those and it’s not in anyone’s benefit that you download 25-30Tb of data from our servers each and every week. 😐

Tested playing a video with an Invidious instance right now and it worked. Did you try another instance ?
lemmyreader 2 months ago • 100%
That’s because you’re using it for a purpose it wasn’t intended. I2P isn’t designed to be used to browse the regular internet, for that it’s better to use TOR. However for anonymous torrenting or accessing i2p-sites, it’s quite fast imho.
Okay, good.
Linux
Today I'm grateful I'm using Linux - Global IT issues caused by Crowdstrike update causes BSOD on Windows
lemmyreader 2 months ago • 50%
Windows does have a fallback mode called safe mode and that’s exactly what’s being used to fix this utter mess.
The other fix was reboot your Windows computer at least 15 times.
Package management isn’t going to save you from this as it didn’t save the Linux systems affected last time. It didn’t stop Arch Linux from failing to boot after a Grub update either.
Not everyone was affected though :
How come not everyone was impacted?
Prior to the most recent version, grub only registered the fwsetup if detected support. If your machine detected support, you would have had the fwsetup command registered and the failure wouldn’t occur.

There's more to it. The mono-culture is one thing, but rolling out the update to millions of computers on the same days sounds like a bad idea.
Fun fact in 2008, with nuclear submarines, the mono-culture was not that bad yet.
It's interesting to note the UK went with a Windows XP variant and not Windows Vista, which is marketed as the more reliable OS. The USA never made the same calculations: The American Navy runs on Linux.

Tor has noscript automatically enabled no?
There's three security settings via NoScript in Tor browser. The default has JS enabled.
lemmyreader 2 months ago • 100%
Disable javascript, trying to get around fingerprinting with javascript enabled is an exercise in futility, and is especially risky with something as heavily monitored as tor.
I like disabling JS myself for some web browsing but this can make fingerprinting easier because most people do enable JS, and I've read that with JS disabled certain things still can be detected through CSS files.

RHEL, Ubuntu, & Debian cover the vast majority of enterprise installs I imagine, and provide a solid testing base for developers in the Linux business software space.
Enterprises I imagine are using RHEL, Ubuntu, SUSE's SLES and Oracle Linux and probably not Debian. But that's a guess. Where can statistics and numbers be found ?

The CLI way syntax : ln -s source target
For example : ln -s /media/username/NTFS-folder-Downloads ~/Downloads/NTFS-folder-Downloads (Make sure to omit a trailing / if you are using command line auto suggestion completion).
If you want an answer from other readers about the GUI way : it would useful which file manager (Nautilus, Dolphin, Nemo, Caja etc.) you are using.

EDIT: I kinda forgot to actually mention my problem. When booting nornall, I get stuck at a lonely white blinking cursor on a black screen, so startx seems to make some problems. I enter a TTY and run startx and this is what I get when running startx:
output of startx
What was the output ? It is not visible for me here.
- Were you using startx successfully before ?
- Or are you reverting to trying startx and you did use some graphical display manager like gdm, sddm or lightdm before ?
- Could it be a disk space problem ? If you run out of space trouble can happen with various applications.
- Can you boot from a previous kernel (At the GRUB or systemd boot menu) and see what happens ?

Huge news 🎉 Thanks OP for sharing.
It feels like a relief after reading earlier Lemmy comments in other posts about btrfs vs ext4 and having read this Wikipedia page paragraph :
In 2008, the principal developer of the ext3 and ext4 file systems, Theodore Ts'o, stated that although ext4 has improved features, it is not a major advance, it uses old technology, and is a stop-gap. Ts'o believes that Btrfs is the better direction because "it offers improvements in scalability, reliability, and ease of management".[29] Btrfs also has "a number of the same design ideas that reiser3/4 had".[30] 😢
Oh no, wait a minute, I overlooked the next sentence last time 😀 :
However, ext4 has continued to gain new features such as file encryption and metadata checksums.

You can look at https://joinmastodon.org/servers and then Region and see which servers are interesting for you. Besides that if you follow a lot of persons which use your language and have similar interests your local timeline can be better for you. And you can follow hashtags like for example #gardening #flowers #birds
Apart from this, the Explore option on Mastodon, no matter which servers I've tried very often is full of US content, but there's no need to use the Explore when your local timeline is interesting.

Is this a desktop computer ? Two hard disks can make things more difficult. How about taking the power cord temporarily off from the larger disk, then install, and if it's successful then turn it off and give the 2nd disk power again, and add that 2nd disk manually to the fstab as e.g. /opt/ as mount point.

I picked the lesser evil
The choice for iOS can be a convenient choice for daily use if one is ready to deal with the restrictions (Like every other web browser is a Safari browser layer instead of a real browser and the fact that Apple is not into allowing ad-blocking easily). With Android phones the freedom for the end user is, compared to iOS, massive. And having a de-Googled Android phone with a custom ROM is no longer rocket-science or for the faint of heart these days because you can buy custom ROM Android phones pre-installed so you're good to go.
