  • The US is Fanning the Flames of War with China

  • He's from hexbear, that should tell you everything.

  • I hope this is the right place to put this..I want to use pi-hole

    Jump

  • It's been a while since I've set up my pi hole, but you shouldn't need a monitor, the initial configuration should be done through the command line.

    Once it's set up, you'll have a webpage inside your network that you can visit to monitor / configure further.

    That being said, you can connect any HDMI monitor to a raspberry pi, and it should work.

  • Someone is trying to log in to my account from WINDOWS 7!!!

  • Wouldn't be surprised if it's some compromised machine that someone else is controlling for illegal activities.

    In your opinion, how do you think lemmy is measuring up so far as a Reddit alternative?

    Jump

  • On the design side:

    • I like that profiles do not show the total karma count. I feel like that just incentivises mindless posting just to get that counter up (some people love seeing their numbers going up).

    • I don't think the "hot" sorting algorithm is very good yet. A lot of old posts were showing up (haven't seen those lately, maybe it has been fixed), but the algorithm is still not great.

    • Would be nice to auto hide posts that I already upvoted or downvoted. That option exists on Reddit

  • Any rss reader which aggregates feeds

    Jump

  • You're welcome!

    Had no idea that thunderbird didn't do it, sounds like a pretty basic feature to me.

  • LibreWolf vs Arkenfox

    Jump

  • Oh I see what you mean, I thought you meant it wouldn't update at all during a normal apt upgrade.

  • Any rss reader which aggregates feeds

    Jump

  • I'm not sure I understand... I thought all readers did this.

    Doesn't liferea do it? (It's also gtk iirc)

  • LibreWolf vs Arkenfox

    Jump

  • You should be able to get automatic updates on librewolf as well (at least on Linux).

  • open source app

    Jump

  • Why are you on lemmy right now?

    Jump

  • Same.

    I actually feel that my stubbornness has made my life better in this case.

    I've been to Reddit since, but I no longer feel the need to scroll it. I just use it when I went to find a genuine human recommendation on a topic.

  • What job do people take way too seriously?

    Jump

  • You can still use programming to leverage your current position.

    If you work admin in an office and are able to automate a bunch of workflows with some simple scripts, you'll have more leverage when salary raises start to get discussed.

    Will your code be at the level a professional programmer would produce? Probably not, but you're not competing with one.

  • Why are you on lemmy right now?

    Jump

  • Because I refuse to install the Reddit official app.

  • The end of the Googleverse

    Jump

  • You can always use one of the publicly hosted instances.

    I would personally recommend having your own. Since then you don't have to trust another party, and can customize it to your needs.

  • What's the best privacy respecting android keyboard?

    Jump

  • Thanks! Giving it a try, so far it's my favorite.

  • Best solutions for email?

    Jump

  • If you don't want to fully host it yourself (which I think it's wise), then it's a good solution.

    If privacy is important to you, ProtonMail has a good reputation, but I haven't been keeping up with the latest developments in the area (there might be other providers that suit your needs / budget).

  • What are some good Twitter accounts that you really wish they move to Fediverse?

    Jump

  • Any kind of government-funded body.

    Any infrastructure or communication channels that has taxpayer money involved should be built on FOSS. Not only for security/control, but to avoid vendor lock as well.

  • Best solutions for email?

    Jump

  • Do you mean buying your own domain, and forward email sent to it to an email provider?

    A lot of email providers have that option (with paid plans). For example
