I have no sympathy for GAFAM, nor for Mozilla.

Engywuck,

I have a cheap Thinkpad from 2018 (E580). A couple of years ago I expanded its ram to 16 GB, added a NVME disk and an second-hand AX wifi card and it still serves me very very well.

Engywuck,

It reminds me of some Lovecraft tale I read decades ago. Sweet.

Engywuck,

Because OPENOffice and ONLYOffice are different things.

Engywuck,

Self portrait

Engywuck,

Was about to suggest Zoho myself. I have a couple of personal domain email hosted there and they’ve been very reliable until now

Engywuck, (edited )

It’s similar to AI regurgitated crap.

Engywuck,

For me the opposite is true. I can’t stand youtube(rs). I just discard links to videos.

Engywuck,

Discarded

Engywuck,

That poor couch…

Engywuck,

It happens on Lemmy, as well. I have seen posts removed according to a “rule x”, where “rule x” when the post didn’t go anywhere near “rule x”. I just left the community, even if those posts weren’t mine.

Engywuck,

Cool. So people can get valuable information without the need to watch 25 minutes long videos (of which 20 minutes are often self-promotion and blabbering for ads revenues)

Engywuck,

You mean you dont want to watch a 30 minute video

Extactly. 30 minutes videos is equivalent to 5 minutes reading. Blogs/tutorials >> videos. Always.

Engywuck,

Maybe. Still faster to read and discard than watching a useless 25 minutes videos.

Engywuck,

I won’t recommend the player since I would be downvoted to hell

You shouldn’t care about downvotes.

Engywuck,

Great piece of software!

Engywuck,

I’m almost 50 and I surely know about modern tech and FOSS. Age is not the problem here. Ignorance is.

Engywuck, (edited )

It’s well know that FF defaults aren’t exactly the best for privacy.

Engywuck,

It’s not chinese. Like, at all. You may be talking about Opera.

OTOH, Brave is FOSS: github.com/brave/brave-browser

Please, don’t spread FUD and don’t parrot what people say without even a bit of research.

Engywuck,

It’s funny how corporate equates lack of growth with losses. Bastards.

Engywuck,

I have already set up a proxy on my foreign VPS. National Court can suck my duck.

Engywuck,

AFAIK, connecting to a random port on your own server isn’t a crime. Yet.

Engywuck,

Yeah, no thanks.

Engywuck,

Also postdocs… At this poit I’m getting so pissed off by the lack of stability that I’m really tempted to quit and look for a less underrated job.

Engywuck,

What bothers me a lot about termux is that it has hardcoded Google’s DNS (try ‘dig’).

Engywuck, (edited )

Yup, it does. Not really a problem on my end, as I redirect port 53 in LAN and use DoH outside, but I still find it an odd choice not to rely on system DNS.
