If all the mountains were of silver and gold,
What would they profit a man who lives in constant fear of death?
Hence there cannot be in the whole world anything better than our Medicine,
Which has power to heal all the diseases of the flesh.

shitjustdontwork. Three days have elapsed without updates to or from our community.

I mod a community here, and for the last three days posts made to that community have not been showing up outside of this instance. Specifically, I have an account on Lemmy World, and I can’t see any recent posts from the community I mod on that account....

Just as a note, I'm just reading this from kbin.social

Matrix with a WhatsApp bridge is the way to go. I've had it since over a year, and it works like a charm.

You need to host your own server and then install the software for the bridge.

I think it was this one https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp but no guarantees

Because of your comment, I did a quick google search and pretty much every source says that .tar.gz is also pretty ancient and not that good (from a compression point of view). For better compression, you can use the xz or 7zip formats. The former is more used on Linux, if that's what you're using.

j3j5, to piracy

@piracy Apparently Google Bard and ChatGPT can give you valid Windows10 keys. I wonder what other keys you can extract from them?

@_Stalwart_ because we all know, that the best action to solve a problem is to ignore it.

Best VPNs

My subrsiption with surfshark is ending soon and I was wondering if there was something better around the same price. There are a lot of ads about many VPNs but a lot of them don't look so "safe and private" as they want you to think so it's hard to really figure it out. I don't want to spend too much since I don't use them very...

I'm using it and it works. How much they are logging about you can't really be said, just like about most other VPN providers.

ctrl, to firefox

Firefox vs Chrome in 2023? Which one is better?

DeGandalf,

@ctrl depends on what you need. If you need extremely high performance or the newest cutting-edge features, you're better with chrome. If you favor privacy and customizability (including AdBlocking) you should use Firefox.

I used chrome for quite a while, since Firefox didn't support WebXR, but now I switched back to Firefox. I've had a few more performance problems on Firefox, including crashes, but only rarely.

This basically just means the files themselves become the authentication.

I don't see a singe use-case, where you couldn't just use normal private-key encryption and just save the private key to a file somewhere else. And if you want to distribute it to multiple locations, so that you need all of them, then there are also encryption methods for that.

The main problem is, that this needs to be implemented on the fediverse level and not only on kbin. While it would help, even if it only exists on kbin, it would still be impossible with lemmy communities.

This is the thing I find the most annoying about the Reddit migration. There are a lot of people who just want to create magazines, which are supposed to be the equivalent of subreddits, only for them to be empty and not used.

Magazines should really only be created by someone, who actually wants to post stuff in there.

Even in Windows 10 I've thought multiple times about searching for a better explorer, but the default one was always just good enough, so I wouldn't do it. When I have to switch to Windows 11, I might have to actually do it.

DeGandalf,

I have both the Switch Pro Controller and Xbox one (for my PC), but I prefer the Switch Controller by far, because the buttons feel so much smoother. But on the other hand it doesn't have triggers, so for racing games it isn't that good (Not that the switch had any realistic ones, which I couldn't play on PC).

kbin magazines can already be tagged as NSFW

The Internet Is Failing The Website Preservation Test (archive.ph)

This is something that keeps me worried at night. Unlike other historical artefacts like pottery, vellum writing, or stone tablets, information on the Internet can just blink into nonexistence when the server hosting it goes offline. This makes it difficult for future anthropologists who want to study our history and document...

DeGandalf,
DeGandalf avatar

In this aspect, the internet is closer to spoken language, than any written media. Even if you use a service to archive the things you find, it's still possible, that they shut down, too.

imho the important thing is to not give Reddit any money, so I'll also continue using it, but only with an adblocker

DeGandalf,
DeGandalf avatar

Yes, I get what you mean. I'll stop posting content and comments, but I'll keep looking at posts of interesting communities. Since I have quite a few posts made there so far, I'm also considering deleting them, but I'm not sure about that yet.

I'm not even that much of a fan of the genre, but "Oshi no ko" will probably become one of my all-time favorites.

I read a comment earlier and if I understood correctly this part actually already works. I think you can add tags to your magazine, and then all posts containing it as a hashtag get added to it. (So you can use it for example to additionally add mastodon messages as microblogs to your magazine)

Please correct me if someone knows more, and I'm wrong, since I'm not 100% sure I understood it correctly.
