You’ve got excellent taste, my friend

[Actively using Azure Devops and ServiceNow] oh…

aaaand then I dream about it, and wake up at 3 am with an epiphany as to how it could be done. Too bad it never works for my own projects…

Damn…Vimms Lair was my favorite, friggin Nintendo doing what it does best…

As much as it pains me to say it, I agree and am annoyed at the amount of “no, fuck Google” in response. I agree, fuck Google, but not because they’re charging for a service so good that we all use it, fuck Google for its heavy user tracking of paying users. I understand it costs immensely to host the sheer amount of data that they do, and they still allow creators to have a portion of what’s made from each video. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about sticking to the man and all that, but to want a website that provides the same service without any costs involved is unreasonable. Peertube is the closest solution we see, and there are still costs involved for anyone hosting a server. I hate that YouTube is our only real option and I’d love something different, but they already have all of our content, and ultimately, they’re fairly reasonable with their demands (pay for our service or watch our ads). The amount of user tracking they do is what’s unacceptable to me, but that’s across all of their products, and I would love to see some enforcement of minimum required data.

This has me curious, not to derail the topic, but I always hear that ClamAV is the best way to go for Linux. Is there a free solution that you would recommend in place of it?

I can talk out my ass, but can’t see through my ass. Common misconception.

Womanarchist by Bad Cop/Bad Cop is pretty excellent

This particular OP tends to be fairly contentious, I’m surprised Beehaw didn’t ever take action on his account.

Well I’ll be damned, I trusted the hivemind on privacy communities on Lemmy and was needlessly jaded against a good service. I’ll stick my foot in my mouth.

Ah, well my apologies, I made the incorrect assumption that it was. I’m headed to bed at the moment, so I apologize for the short explanation, I’ll try to come back with better facts and sources, but the short of it is that when you use a VPN, you’re effectively shifting trust from your ISP to your VPN provider. Trust that your data is not being mishandled, misused, is secured, and is not being used for further profits. If a VPN provider logs heavily and has a police raid or a subpoena, your data is still freely accessible. In all fairness, in using NordVPN, your traffic is still encrypted over the network, further securing you from attacks, but they tend to lean very log-heavy, and if I remember right, have had some security issues in the past, though don’t quote me on that, I want to come back more researched. Generally speaking, the consensus on Lemmy has been in favor of Mullivad since they log nothing and can even take anynomous payment, on top of being a very affordable VPN. Sorry again for my incorrect assumption regarding sarcasm, I’m used to a lot of hardcore privacy nerds on here. You’re better off with NordVPN than without is the fact of the matter, and good on you if you’re making use of it 😁

I hope this is a sarcasm, lol

God, I was starting to think it was a fever dream, that was my first instance, then suddenly it was gone. I still check every now and then if it’s back up. After a while, I assumed it wasn’t coming back and made my new home, but it still holds a special place for me.

Yesssssss, that’s amazing!!! The power of community is incredible. I used to be on the City of Titans team and hope they do well, but honestly, I’m happy with my CoH

God, City of Heroes is the perfect example of that, seeing private servers pop up…my childhood was back

I kept the naming scheme I used when I was doing independent tech support: snack bars. People got a chuckle when they heard “Kit Kat was misbehaving”. So I kept it for my servers, Kit Kat, Toaster & Strudel, and Snickers

I do think there are waves of people moving from Reddit to Lemmy for one reason or another, each of them infuriated with Reddit and needing to express it. We had the wave of people that reacted to the news of the API changes, people that moved over after Reddit responded poorly to the protests, people that moved here after their Reddit app of choice stopped working, people after the latest set of third party apps stopped working, people after Reddit removed gold, people after the app icon was changed…

People are at different stages of dealing with Reddit, some of us who left sooner have moved on, some people are moving here currently outraged with Reddit, and some are in between.
I imagine we’ll keep seeing these waves of people for a while, and that’s ok, the best thing we can do is validate their feelings toward Reddit, welcome them, and keep the memes rolling.

My partner is asexual and hates these scenes.
Being very much not asexual, I too hate these scenes.

❤️

There’s SearXNG, though I know that’s not exactly the same
