My assumption is always the person I am talking to is a normal window user who don't know what a terminal is. Most of them even freak out when they see "the black box with text on it". I guess on Lemmy the situation is better. It is just my bad habit.
Once again, a VPN can help to mitigate the risk of de-anonymization by hiding your source IP address before accessing the guard node in the Tor circuit.
Lmao he showed a bunch of well known issue about Tor, then start the usual VPN ads.
Yes you are right. That is why I said it could be fine. I think most people will find it too slow. And also route all your phone traffic through tor isn't a great idea neither because most services block Tor IP anyway.
If you plan to torrent with your vpn. Tor isn't a good idea. If you use it just as A VPN it could be fine ig.
Ofc I will try my best to tell people about up/down side of a product. When it come to ungoogled chromium do they still support manifest v2? If yes then it will be also a great choice for desktop.
I know that I am overly paranoid but they do the weird user ID thing. It it opt in as they said in their privacy policy.

When you install Vivaldi browser (“Vivaldi”), each installation profile is assigned a unique user ID that is stored on your device. Vivaldi will send a message using HTTPS directly to our servers located in Iceland every 24 hours containing this ID, version, cpu architecture, screen resolution and time since last message.
undefined
We anonymize the IP address of Vivaldi users by removing the last octet of the IP address from your Vivaldi client then we store the resolved approximate location after using a local geoip lookup
At least to my knowledge brave do not do anything like this or maybe it is opt out by default. But honesty, I think from now, I will recommend both of them and just let people choose.
Yeah brave has it own issue, but overall it is still more privacy respecting than chrome or edge. Brave is personally not my choice. I use librewolf. Still, if someone ask me for a browser to use for their privacy journey I will undoubtedly tell them to just use brave. Firefox(and the forks) isn't a choice for most normal people it often break Captcha. Some website even straight up just don't allow Firefox based then tell you to use chrome. I am not by anyway try to defend Brave action, but I can't see much choice that just work for people who don't even know what an OS is.
Do you have source?
Did they fix the issue of their license partially closed? Or is it still the same
Mullvad don't have port forwarding anymore (since 2023 I think) so seeding won't work properly.
Last time I checked, it do require login with Google account. It is long time ago tho, so idk if it is still the case.
Use obtainium to download the latest release
People will tell you that everything is a honeypot. In fact, I am a honeypot
So it is an American thing then? I feel sorry for you to experience that. But I personally never see anyone even use it in a racism way. Probably because of my own ignorance like you said. The internet is open tho. It is not just for US culture/culture issue. So honestly for the rest of the world, I do not think it is an issue at all. Maybe we can try to resolve it in some way? Idk
A lot of people seem to argue about ricing and the "original" meaning of it. But honestly as an Asian I don't really think any Asian(at least in my country) actually care or even know the meaning of it. The ricing term of the Linux community is far from racism. What so wrong with rice? cuz we love it? I honestly don't get it.
Can the same be say with bottle?
Is that the snap version? Or Flatpak? Depends on with one it is there is a lot of way to limit the access to maybe only the download folder.
nct6687 really high temp report in coolercontrol/lm_sensors
Hi everyone,
I just just installed coolercontrol recently to control my gpu fan curve then i realized there is this nct6687 sensors which report some extremely high temp sometime even 100 Celsius. I tried the sensors.
Which show that nct6687 still have really high temps. Is this normal? Or is my pc burning it self even though the air in the pc isnt hot at all.
Note: I use arch. My mobo is MSI B450M-A PRO MAX II. My gpu rx 580. My CPU r5 5500

Switch from a GSI to another one?
Hi everyone!
Recently I tried to flash my umidigi A9 pro with dotOS(GSI). At the time I didn't know that dotOS is based one android 11(the same version that my OEM ROM was). Now I want to install leafOS(still GSI). I read online and some page said I need to reinstall OEM rom before install new one. Other said I just need to wipe everything then just install via fastboot(adb). Right now I am a bit confused on this subject, so any help would be appreciated a lot. Thanks in advance!
How do i get snapper to work on arch
Hi everyone, hope you guys have a nice day! Long story short. I hop from opensuse tumbleweed to arch recently. I want to setup snapper so it work like on opensuse just to be safe. Even on opensuse the rolling release did kill my system few time. I run into this part on the arch wiki.
Note: If you are using the suggested Btrfs partition layout from archinstall then the @.snapshots subvolume will already be mounted to /.snapshots, and the snapper create-config command will fail [1]. To use the @.snapshots subvolume for Snapper backups, do the following:
undefined
Unmount the @.snapshots subvolume and delete the existing mountpoint.
Create the Snapper config.
Delete the subvolume created by Snapper.
Re-create the /.snapshots mount point and re-mount the @.snapshots subvolume.
I did installed arch via archinstall but I am not really experience with the btrfs files system nor mount or unmount stuff so as I expected I killed my system. I reinstalled arch and not sure how to setup s

I really don't want to dual boot window just to do it so i research for a way to do it on linux. I found this post but the github repo isnt here anymore. I found a backup of it on the wayback machine. But i am not sure if it is safe or not. If it is safe why was the repo closed what happened to it?
