I am Stine. Comfort the afflicted. Afflict the comfortable. High School Wrestler™. Can usually correctly use the past tense in French. Suffers from clinical depression. @stinerman@mastodon.social on Mastodon.
Ahh the halcyon days of downloading one song from a private FTP server with upload ratios, found by Lycos FTP search. Over a modem, natch, so it took about 50 minutes…and that’s when your mom didn’t kick you off the internet so she could make a call.
The climate activist thing they did pursuant to a warrant, which every company will do, and the only thing of interest they turned over was the person’s recovery email…which was personally identifiable. From there the authorities got everything else. IIRC, they got access to the person’s iCloud. None of the person’s emails or anything like that was given out. If you are strictly concerned about privacy you shouldn’t use a recovery email so that your login can’t be tied back to you.
As far as the service, I am using Mail and Pass daily and like both. I use the VPN and Drive sparingly, but I have enough space on it to stop using my Google Drive. Calendar is useless for me because of the lack of CalDAV support… and also because I can’t have many calendars on the free plan.
It hits the sweet spot between privacy and ease of use for me. YMMV.
Taco Bell most likely.
Apparently this is the app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.devicelock
Kentucky Mule here. Bourbon rather than vodka.
I also recommend Bundaberg ginger beer in any mule.
I’ve literally done the rm -rf / thing. I thought I was in a different subdirectory, but I was in / and did rm -rf .
When it didn’t return after half a second, I looked at the command again and hit CTRL+C about 20 times in the span of 3 seconds.
I had to rebuild the install, but luckily didn’t lose anything in /home.
Agreed, but I think there are enough flavors of Debian to satisfy someone if they want newer packages without resorting to Flatpak/Snap/etc.
I don’t mind the old packages (I’m typing from Debian Stable right now). If that’s a bother for other people Debian Stable isn’t the way to go. Even I wouldn’t recommend Stable on a desktop/laptop unless that person knew what they were getting themselves into. I used to run Sid a while back, but didn’t want to have to deal with the mild breakage from time to time. Generally speaking it’s “stable enough” for most people, especially on a daily driver.
That being said, I have a few flatpaks running, but that’s mostly because they’re apps that aren’t packaged for Debian.
I was never on Reddit, but I was a Twitter refugee who moved to Mastodon. In the beginning almost everything was about how terrible Elon Musk was and what dumb shit was going on over there. Now there’s a lot less. Perhaps the same thing will happen with Lemmy as well.
That’s a classic.
Yeah I think Arch is fine, but I’d never recommend it to a new Linux user.
I run Debian and I regularly look at the Arch wiki.
