- Comment on The Fennec Android browser is currently behind on Firefox security updates, deemed unsafe by F-droid 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been using it as my primary browser on Android for years so I don’t really have much to compare it to, but I haven’t had any issues with extension compatibility. It includes changes from Tor browser and Arkenfox so it’s more privacy-focused than on performance.
- Comment on The Fennec Android browser is currently behind on Firefox security updates, deemed unsafe by F-droid 3 weeks ago:
I’ll just throw out Mull from DivestOS’s third-party f-droid repo as an up to date alternative. The newest versions are incompatible with the main repo but here is their explanation:
Updated Mull to 131.0.0, has 14+1+25 security fixes from the previous 129.0.2 release. In order to resolve the compilation issue introduced in 130, Mull is now compiled using Mozilla’s prebuilt clang toolchain. This however is incompatible with the F-Droid.org inclusion criteria, so these updates (for now at least) will only be available via the DivestOS.org F-Droid repository. Please note, while this adds a prebuilt dependency, the result does still remain FOSS.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #32 - Duck Season PC 3 weeks ago:
Duck Season (the VR game) came first, and SLZ is a VR dev studio. This version is the traditional PC game port of the original VR game.
- Comment on Day 1 of someone finally posting screenshots from a screenshot-worthy game, until I forget to post screenshots 1 month ago:
It’s even funnier that no, I didn’t.
But, if you really want to compare the artistic value of a screenshot of a game, one is equivalent to going out in the world with a camera and composing a photo of your natural surroundings, while the other is the equivalent of typing “anime girl” into google images and saving one of them.
- Comment on Day 1 of someone finally posting screenshots from a screenshot-worthy game, until I forget to post screenshots 1 month ago:
Maybe you think they’re lame because those are screenshots of an actual game being rendered in realtime, and not just a picture someone drew for a visual novel with some text over it.
- Comment on Why do Counterstrike and the other top 10 games on Steam NEVER change? 1 month ago:
I’m having trouble digging it up, but the person who created Steamspy a number of years ago, before privacy laws made public profiles opt-in and interfered with its ability to collect data, found that the majority of Steam accounts only had a single game in their libraries.
A lot of those are going to be alts people made to evade game/server bans or smurf.
I may or may not have made 10 accounts that only had Garry’s Mod on them circa 2010.
- Comment on Steven Spielberg is ‘a big PC Gamer’ — loves shooters, and insists on keyboard and mouse 1 month ago:
A lack of analog controls is definitely an issue. Having digital buttons on keys that are either 100% on or off loses a ton of fine control.
Playing GTA and need to make a slight left while driving? On a gamepad you just slightly tilt the stick left to make a smooth turn. On keyboard you have to do a bunch of short little taps on A (and D when you inevitably oversteer) to stop yourself from jerking the wheel left.
I remember really wanting a Logitech G13 when they came out but I could never justify spending the money on one.
- Comment on Cloudflare plans marketplace to sell permission to scrape websites 1 month ago:
They’re already ignoring robots.txt, so I’m not sure why anyone would think they won’t just ignore this too. All they have to do is get a new IP and change their useragent.
- Comment on Image size: ~1.85 MiB. Dockerized nextdns. Runs as a non-root user. 1 month ago:
Is there a reason to over AdGuard Home or Pihole?
- Comment on San Francisco says ‘good riddance’ as X prepares to leave 2 months ago:
Another lemmy echo chamber…
Sounds like you maybe just have a habit of entering conversations on topics you don’t know much about (and in this case self-admittedly don’t even care about), so you get a lot of people who are more informed and do care expressing their disagreement with you?
Have you considered just not doing that?

This is already implemented on a lot of the settings pages on 11.
- Comment on The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter 3 months ago:
There’s no EULA just like there’s no NDA. That pop up and a one sentence post about not sharing info about the game on the forum is all there is.
- Comment on The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter 3 months ago:
There is no NDA for Deadlock, and anyone in it can invite anyone they want, as often as they want. It’s not like Valve has no idea how to privately test their game. I think they made these decisions deliberately.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
lol I would open every port on my router and route them all to wireguard before I would ever consider doing this
- Comment on How to make my server reachable 3 months ago:
I use Nextcloud with Nginx Proxy Manager and just use NPM to handle the reverse proxy, nothing in NPM other than adding the domain to the config so it’s trusted.
I use Plex instead of Jellyfin, but I stream it through NPM with no issues. I can’t speak to the tunnel though, I prefer a simple wireguard tunnel for anything external so I’ve never tried it.

I have a feeling the people making fiber internet faster aren’t the same people installing it in neighborhoods.

The product was an LLM.
- Comment on Proton releases a self-custody bitcoin wallet | Proton Wallet is open source and has been audited by a third-party firm, the company said 3 months ago:
I never switched to Proton for exactly this reason. I’d much rather use a service that does one thing really well than one that does 20 things okay.
It’s all just to keep you locked into your subscription. Now they want you to keep other money tied up in it too.
- Comment on Proxmox bind mounts is a nightmare for user permissions 4 months ago:
The issue is that the docker container will still be running as the LXC’s root user even if you specify another user to run as in the docker compose file or run command, and if root doesn’t have access to the dir the container will always fail.
The solution to this is to remap the unprivileged LXC’s root user to a user on the Proxmox host that has access to the dir using the LXC’s config file, mount the container’s filesystem using pct mount, and then chown everything in the container owned by the default root mapped user (100000).
These are the commands I use for this: find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -user 100000 -type f -exec chown username {} +; find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -user 100000 -type d -exec chown username {} +; find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -user 100000 -type l -exec chown -h username {} +; find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -group 100000 -type f -exec chown :username {} +; find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -group 100000 -type d -exec chown :username {} +; find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -group 100000 -type l -exec chown -h :username {} +
(Replace xxx with the LXC number and username with the host user/UID)
If group permissions are involved you’ll also have to map those groups in the LXC config, create them in the LXC with the corresponding GIDs, add them as supplementary groups to the root user in the LXC, and then add them to the docker compose yaml using group_add.
It’s super confusing and annoying but this is the workflow I’m using now to avoid having to have any resources tied up in VMs unnecessarily.
- Comment on Server HDD selction 4 months ago:
I’ve been doing this for at least a decade now and the drives are just as reliable as if you bought them normally. The only downside is having to block one of the pins on the SATA connector with kapton tape for it to work.
- Comment on Should I use a reverse proxy in a homelab? 4 months ago:
I like the workflow of having a DNS record on my network for *.mydomain.com pointing to Nginx Proxy Manager, and just needing to plug in a subdomain, IP, and port whenever I spin up something new for super easy SSL. All you need is one let’s encrypt wildcard cert for your domain and you’re all set.
- Comment on [Help] I can't make Radarr's hardlink work 4 months ago:
IIRC from running into this same issue, this won’t work the way you have the volume bind mounts set up because it will treat the movies and downloads directories as two separate file systems, which hardlinks don’t work across.
If you bind mounted /media/HDD1:/media/HDD1 it should work, but then the container will have access to the entire drive. You might be able to get around that by running the container as a different user and only giving that user access to those two directories, but docker is also really inconsistent about that in my experience.
- Comment on Japan declares victory in effort to end government use of floppy disks 4 months ago:
lol Japan invents the three major optical disc storage mediums that became ubiquitous and their government says fuck that and just keeps on using floppy disks
- Comment on [Beginner] Proxmox & storage configuration 4 months ago:
If you want Proxmox to dynamically allocate resources you’ll need to use LXCs, not VMs. I don’t use VMs at all anymore for this exact reason.
- Comment on Super House of Dead Ninjas is shutting down 4 months ago:
How hard could it be to maintain a steam store page on your own? Seems like a weird reason to just completely stop taking in revenue for something you created.
- Comment on Remote IT management provider TeamViewer says it has been hacked, allegedly Russian state hackers from APT29 4 months ago:
RDP does not fill the same role as Teamviewer at all. The M$ alternatives would be Quick Assist or the older MSRA.
- Comment on China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report 4 months ago:
America didn’t drop anything because they weren’t saying it in the first place, the Soviets were. America also aren’t the ones that coined a new phrase for it, British royalists were, who probably had no knowledge of the Russian phrase. All of this was explained in the article you linked.
- Comment on China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report 4 months ago:
1.it’s a euphemism for “And You Are Lynching Negroes” - that’s literally what people used to say instead of whataboutism
lol who do you think was saying this, and how is “whataboutism” in anyway of a euphemism for it? Did you even bother to read the article you linked?
- Comment on Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free 4 months ago:
I take money from possible fascists because I need it to survive. It’s called having a job.
- Comment on OpenAI and Anthropic are ignoring an established rule that prevents bots scraping online content 4 months ago:
Am I missing something in this article? I’m not defending either company, but it doesn’t seem like they actually have any evidence to confirm either is doing this.
The world’s top two AI startups are ignoring requests by media publishers to stop scraping their web content for free model training data, Business Insider has learned.
It claims this, but then they say this about the source of this info:
TollBit, a startup aiming to broker paid licensing deals between publishers and AI companies, found several AI companies are acting in this way and informed certain large publishers in a Friday letter, which was reported earlier by Reuters. The letter did not include the names of any of the AI companies accused of skirting the rule.
So their source doesn’t actually say which companies are doing this, but then they jump straight into this:
AI companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic, are simply choosing to “bypass” robots.txt in order to retrieve or scrape all of the content from a given website or page.
So they’re just concluding that based on nothing and reporting it as fact?
