ssm, to privacy in Do you think people would be okay with 'Recall' if Apple did it?
@ssm@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

You’re saying this like Micro$hit isn’t just going to revert back to recall being opt-out (or non-removable) in a few weeks after the outrage dies down

ssm, to linux in How bad is Microsoft?
@ssm@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Microsoft is evil, but are they more or less evil than Google?

ssm, to opensource in FOSS File Transfer Program?
@ssm@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

In order of personal preference:

scp (sftp)

rsync/openrsync

nfs

host files on an ftp server with ftpd

hosting files on an http server with httpd

ssm, to privacy in I asked duckduckgo chat whether duckduckgo respects the privacy of their users...

I love searxng in theory, and I use it as my default search engine, but very often I am missing results; I don’t know if it’s deliberate censorship from bing and google so you don’t use their apis on 3rd party platforms, or if searxng is just buggy, but no matter what search engines I enable in the config, I am missing results.

ssm, to games in MultiVersus is a Smash Bros. clone that feels like a smartphone game, spoiled by its monetisation
@ssm@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It’s easy to blame the monetization model, but the devs did decide to pour their effort into a project, knowing that they would likely be cucked by their publisher. There was an way to easily avoid this, even if it meant the game wouldn’t have gotten as much attention. The fewer people use publishers, the less they dominate the front page of retailers.

ssm, (edited ) to privacy in The Cloudflare Poison
@ssm@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I use quad9 with DNS over TLS systemwide with openbsd unwind

unwind.conf config


<span style="color:#323232;">forwarder { 9.9.9.9 port 853 DoT 149.112.112.112 port 853 DoT }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">preference { DoT }
</span>

firefox’s use of cloudflare for DoH is irresponsible, and possibly worse than just sending your DNS queries to your ISP’s default servers. It would be in line with Mozilla’s other practices though.

ssm, to opensource in How is everyone handling the 2FA requirement for GitHub?
@ssm@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

2FA is for people who don’t know how to use randomized passwords for every site

ssm, to games in Borderlands 4 is Reportedly 2K’s Big Summer Game Fest Reveal
@ssm@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Since the consensus is that Borderlands is now a dead franchise, anyone know of any alternatives? I enjoy Roboquest, but it doesn’t quite scratch the same itch (minus the artstyle). Gunfire Reborn seems closer to Borderlands, so I’ll check it out eventually.

ssm, (edited ) to linux in What’s the best ad blocker for you? - Firefox Add-ons Blog
@ssm@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

DNS blocking with DNS over TLS (DoT) with OpenBSD unwind + disabling javascript

  • userscripts where javascript is required and the site is cancer (youtube, twitch, other corpomedia)
  • disable/compile without DNS over HTTPS (DoH)
    • I’m not sending my DNS requests to cloudflare, and I want my DNS to be system-wide

always disable DNS prefetch

works in any browser (system-wide actually), not just in Firefox/Chromium

ssm, to linux in GNU Nano gains optional modern keybindings – OSnews
@ssm@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

“modern” is a very loaded term here

ssm, (edited ) to linux in Is it possible to use Linux without the command line?
@ssm@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Most Windows and Mac users have no idea what a script is,nor do they care.

Imagine how much easier their lives would be if they did (at least the MacOS users, since Windows has yet to find a usable shell).

If you’re on GNOME, KDE or any of the other DEs for that matter, and you’re not a geek, yes you can live on GUI alone these days.

Unless you have exactly 1 tech support issue, in which the assistant will tell you to open a terminal for diagnostics, because any other interface for debugging is insane. Telling users they shouldn’t learn shell is just setting them up for being dependent on users that do.

ssm, to linux in Is it possible to use Linux without the command line?
@ssm@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I would hardly call using the shell “tinkering”. It’s just a different interface.

ssm, (edited ) to linux in Is it possible to use Linux without the command line?
@ssm@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

No, nor should the user be encouraged to. Shell is often the best tool for the job for things like filesystem operations and scripting for a unix environment. Limiting yourself as a user just to copy Windows’ and MacOS’ paradigm is just hurting yourself in the long run.
