After episode 12, we’re on chapter 34 of the manga out of 97, on a series with a promised 24 episodes, by Trigger which has never done multiple seasons of any show, and which has adapted the story EXTREMELY close to the source without rushing anything....
A couple weeks ago Discord announced their plans to go down the IPO route. This means that there is now a ticking clock until the platform goes full-on enshittified like so many others before them....
The AnimeBytes outage from yesterday was because of this, DNS registrar seems to have gone down with all it’s .tv domains, and this has taken down lots of sites
Initial reaction from one of the main admins was that if in 12 hours there had been no news they’d nuke the servers, seems like they’re not gonna do it anymore. Many domains registered by one admin were seized at the same time, so might not even be aimed at the tracker. Waiting for more news....
Twillio just announced they’re discontinuing the Desktop version of their popular Two Factor Authentication client. Their proposed solution is for users to move to the mobile app, which of course doesn’t fulfill the use case of people who explicitly chose Authy because it had a desktop client....
Today somebody in a group I’m in which has some accessibility issues was yet again complaining that their Dragon Speaking software was not playing nice with Firefox, which led me to see if there was an alternative, and surprisingly i found none workable at the plain user level beyond Dragon, and upgrading for that person might...
So, a relative that all she plays in her tablet is solitaire, saw ads of some mobile crap full of microtransactions and now wants some of those. I said i’d check if there was games kinda like those (all puzzles of some sort), and would highly prefer if they’re all FOSS to avoid or at least highly reduce the chance they’re...
Somebody I’m helping has an ancient, and i mean ancient (like 3 major versions before latest or so) install of Rundeck doing stuff for them. Might help them upgrade it to the latest (more like reinstall and configure from scratch, it was built years ago with assumptions no longer true), but before i commit I’d like to know...
We have a machine running some stuff on Docker, and little by little it has started to become important to keep an eye on it. However, looking for information on monitoring a Docker server it always seem to assume you’re running it in Swarm mode, which is not and WILL NOT be the case of this machine, Swarm adds a layer of...
Right now if you open Lemmy you get “Subscribed” which gets you posts from communities you’ve subscribed to, “Local” which only gives you posts from your instance, and “All”, which gets from everything federated from your instance....
The much maligned “Trusted Computing” idea requires that the party you are supposed to trust deserves to be trusted, and Google is DEFINITELY NOT worthy of being trusted, this is a naked power grab to destroy the open web for Google’s ad profits no matter the consequences, this would put heavy surveillance in Google’s...
This blog post by Ploum, who was part of the original XMPP efforts long ago, describes how Google killed one great federated service, which shows why the Fediverse must not give Meta the chance
Ideally one that can use more than one disk so that i can expand it later when i can. Have some minimal experience with Synology since there's one at work and i have interacted with it a couple times and like the interface, but am not married to any brand as long as it works....
After many days i finally received my GDPR data request, which i supplemented further with reddit-user-to-sqlite, so i have a nice full local copy of my account. Now I'm torn on whether to fully shred the data of the account or just delete it:...
Apparently there was a secret meeting between admins of big Fedi instances and Meta, closed under an NDA, and of course they're not saying anything....
I mean, those of you who used to have 10+ years old accounts that then went and overwrote them using something like Shreddit or Power Delete, how long did it took for it to go through all that?
