Ah OK that’s a shame.

I haven’t even looked at port forwarding. I think maybe some ISPs in some countries might block traffic this way but others will know better. Everything just works with Mullvad on Fedora with Qbittorrent, so I’m happy.

Good work!

Going organic and plant-based would be such a massive improvement.

People have been saying this for at least 40 years.

I can’t speak for others but I go through phases of enjoying the sound of different accents. I’m currently loving Indian.

Where did the Linux socks thing come from? I see it around and am curious about the lore.

Pretty ironic considering they don’t play any sports of their own.

Sounds like either a) the dehumidifier is broken or confused b) your apartment has more moisture in it than you thought or c) the moisture is being replenished from somewhere.

I stayed in a friends house a few months ago and she had 4 dehumidifiers running since she bought it. The house was built before damp proofing was a thing and set into a hill, so the place is basically one massive wick for groundwater. It will never be over for her.

I use Jami and Session. Interested to check out SimpleX Chat though.

It certainly is!

I’m afraid I can’t offer any recommendations but I just wanted to say how beautiful it is to think of you keeping track of each others heartbeats while you’re apart. That’s love

I was just borrowing it when I made the rip and was also using a borrowed drive to read it, so I’d rather try and fix the files I currently have. I tried ripping it more than once when I had it, so I just settled for what I got - only getting around to fixing it now!

I copied it using a borrowed external optical drive.

I’m not sure how to tell if I have all the data but the size of the directory contents is around 3.5 gigabytes which seems appropriate for length of video (1h45m).

Will try your suggestion in mpv 👍

That’s good to know.

All of my own drives are encrypted except for a USB stick that I use for transferring files to a windows machine.

Would ‘overwrite with zeroes’ in gnome Disks work?

Fennec

Would it work to selfhost a Peertube instance?

I’ve had success using Czkawka (hiccup) for deduplicating

VPNs hide your IP from your ISP and anyone they share that information with. Here in the UK ISPs keep a record of every internet connection you make and pass it on to the government and perhaps others. Using a VPN here means that instead of them knowing every single website you visit they just know you are using a VPN (or Tor, or a proxy etc if that’s what you’re using). All they can tell from that data is what time you’re active online and how much data you upload/download, not which websites you’re visiting.

The websites that you connect to at the other end can still determine who you are by means other than your IP address, like information that your machine presents to them which is unique. VPNs don’t protect against this.

A VPN is like a private courier. What the recipient does with the delivered message (and what you’ve put in it) is out of the courier’s hands.

Just the fact that NordVPN claims to protect your privacy means that the average person hears about privacy a lot
