Kinda weird that they’re calling the “collapsing real-estate sector” an economic challenge when that’s completely on purpose

Idk about public trackers but you can just upload them on private trackers. If you’re not on any private trackers, I am.

At least Germany has already agreed to give more military aid to Ukraine

I use a refurbished 10tb HDD for my server too and it works just fine

The rules in the EU are also made for the rich. The difference is just that the EU has at least some left votes in there, so it’s not as bad.

We’re not gonna be able to combat climate change under capitalism anyway. The number one thing we need to do is to produce less but that goes directly against what capitalism needs to function. Not to mention that governments are bribed by companies to make laws in their favour.

But hey, what’s the point of saving our planet anyway if we can’t maximize profits anymore?

Whaaaaat…? In a time of economic struggles, companies would rather support fascists than risk letting socialism take over? This certainly never happened before, especially not in Germany.

The thing is, they can’t work in Germany because they don’t get the permit. They’re living here for months or years without being allowed to work while the German citizens complain about how they don’t want to work. It really sucks. The reason I said they’re not being ignored is that I’m pretty sure it’s like that on purpose. Left wing parties are heavily losing votes while right wing parties can use this to support their narrative of lazy immigrants that only come to Germany to abuse our social system.

Freetube just loads the videos from YouTube directly if you don’t activate the proxy option (which will use Invidious or Piped, haven’t used Freetube in a while so idk which one it was)

They’re not being ignored tho, they’re just not allowed to work

DNS should be working, I manually set the DNS server. I don’t really wanna install docker tho, I feel like that could cause other issues. If it only works in docker, that doesn’t really help me anyway, does it?

No, is that required?

There’s @loops@pixelfed.social, which is getting a beta release soon

Hab ich tatsächlich schon gemacht, aber iwie funktioniert das noch nicht ganz. Weil ich selber nicht rausfinden konnte warum, hab ich grad nen post gemacht wo ich nach Hilfe frage.

Wegen dem letzten Part, es geht zwar schon um privacy, aber dadurch, dass ich momentan YouTube direkt nutzen muss, weil die Piped instances nicht funktionieren, ist es halt immer noch besser. Außerdem hab ich angefangen nen GTK 4 Piped client zu schreiben und ich muss das halt auch iwie testen können.

Thanks, I’m gonna selfhost it then. What you said about the piped components sounds interesting, is there like a list of them?

If I was just downloading stuff, I wouldn’t be using a VPN. Not sure if it’s illegal but it’s just not worth it for the police to go after people who just download. With torrents, due to the way they work, you’re also uploading. That’s the reason you should use a VPN when downloading with torrents.

The only way to find out it was you, would be to ask the VPN provider. Mullvad has a perfect track record of not keeping logs tho, so it’s very unlikely they’re gonna get anything from them. All that work wouldn’t even be worth it for someone just downloading some music like you do.

I have my torrent client running 24/7 connected to a different VPN to my home country, Germany, as well and nothing’s ever happened, even though Germany is pretty strict when it comes to this stuff.

I’ve wanted to contribute code to open source projects for years at this point but looking at the code just seems so daunting. I’ve only contributed things like icons, translations and map data in OSM. I did start working at my first job this week as a software developer, so I hope I’ll get more experience in working with existing projects.

I’m sure a lot of the comments on other platforms would say something along the lines of “They obviously took one picture in the summer and one in the winter… 😒 But enjoy your antifa money 🤣🤣🤣”
