hellfire103,

I can’t decide if I want to die or emigrate.

hellfire103,

I really needed to here this. Thank you.

hellfire103,

I had some luck with mlmym. There’s an instance at old.lemmy.ca.

hellfire103,

I don’t even care if the results are good. I’m not about to use any part of RUnet.

hellfire103,

I rarely have to use it, but for me it works every time.

hellfire103,

Privacy, for one thing. I don’t use Google, Bing, Windows, or any Meta software*, and Yandex aren’t much different.

Security, though, is another thing. I live in a NATO country, and I would imagine the Russian government are monitoring Yandex (and other RUnet services). Frankly, I think contributing any data to such a government would be against my interests.

There’s also a lot of censorship on RUnet. Yeah, Google has that too, but Mojeek and Brave Search do not.

TL;DR: Google is data-hungry and supplies data to the NSA; Yandex is data-hungry and supplies data to the Kremlin; Mojeek and Brave Search are good; DDG and Startpage are the best for the average user.

Amateurs! It’s gotta be silver!

  • Looks nice in jewellery
  • Antimicrobial properties
  • An essential component of camera film
  • Highly conductive (e.g. used for electrodes and thermal paste in computing)
  • Catalyst in many chemical reactions
  • Used to make mirrors
  • A critical component of solar panels
  • The only metal capable of incapacitating werewolves, and also somewhat effective against vampires
hellfire103,

If anyone here uses iOS, here’s a shortcut that removes metadata, which can be placed in the share sheet: icloud.com/…/3e2e51a1463744469a7dd5406732942a

There’s also ExifTool, which can be run inside a-Shell and iSH; Metapho, which is a standalone paid app; and I believe ImgOnline has a tool as well.

hellfire103,

You are absolutely correct. The stupidity here, though, is that word got out that Trump uses them, and that has caused a lot of his supporters to start wearing them, whether they need to or not.

hellfire103,

Fair enough.

hellfire103,

This is the entire debian-official Tumblr, summed up in one photo.

hellfire103,

Nooo! Wally!!! I sure hope they find that adorable 'gator!

hellfire103,

“Aw, you wanna piece of me?!”

hellfire103,

Yes, but the policy that requires voters to have photo ID was created by Boris himself when he was prime minister. That’s the irony.

hellfire103,

I didn’t!

hellfire103,

Alternative Nitter link for people who want to see the fascist tweet, but don’t want to do so on a fascist website: nitter.poast.org/…/1785635671316537510

(Yes, I know Nitter is dead. No, I don’t know why this instance is still working.)

Partial Solution

Since cryptsetup is not going to be at all usable in the initramfs shell any time soon, I’ve decided instead to just encrypt my /home folder with ecryptfs. The Debian Wiki has an article on how to do this.
