Agreed, and this is what I have set up for mine… But this is also technologically so far out of reach for >95% of people…
- Comment on Would it be possible to run Pi-hole, Octoprint and Home Assistant on the same RPi 3 mod. B? 1 month ago:
My home-assistant installation alone is too much for my Raspberry Pi 3. It depends entirely on how much data it’s processing and needing to keep in memory.
Octoprint needs to respond in a timely manner, so you will want to have the system mostly idle (at least below 60 percent CPU at all times), preferably octoprint should be the only thing running on the system unless it’s rather powerful.
If I were you, I would install octoprint exclusively on your Raspberry Pi 3, and then buy a Raspberry Pi 4 for the other services.
I’m running Pi-hole and a wireguard VPN on an old Raspberry Pi 2, which is perfectly fine if you are not expecting gigabit speeds on the VPN.
- Comment on New UEFI vulnerabilities send firmware devs industry wide scrambling 3 months ago:
Because there’s no such thing as private address spaces in IPv6.
If your ISP is IPv6 only, then you need to enable IPv6 for your local network too, which means that every device on your network gets an IPv6 address.
You can still have a private IPv4 as well, but if your remove the IPv6 support, then you lose access too the Internet.
- Comment on Thank the EU there’s a prominent “Reject” button nowadays 3 months ago:
Damn… That is very disappointing.
- Comment on Thank the EU there’s a prominent “Reject” button nowadays 3 months ago:
Wow… How did they argue that consent was still “freely given”? And also that it is “as easy” to give as it is to withdraw consent?
- Comment on Thank the EU there’s a prominent “Reject” button nowadays 3 months ago:
Yeah, lots of pages are trying to pull that stunt, which isn’t legal according to the GDPR. Facebook and many news outlets are trying it too.
I filed a complaint about Facebook with my local data protection agency, which agreed and forwarded the case to Ireland. Well see whether Ireland conforms to the GDPR.

Yeah, definition of “legitimate interest” is definitely being stretched well beyond it’s breaking point.

And it actually is… Quote from the GDPR:
It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.

Awesome! I actually downloaded Antenna Pod to compare, but I can’t seem to find this setting, could you point it out to me?
- Comment on Google announces April 2024 shutdown date for Google Podcasts 5 months ago:
Completely fair, it it however worth mentioning that you can disable this data collection in settings.

This is exactly why I run Linux on all my computers, and run as much open-source software as I can, build my own home server, and set up my own home-qutomation. It does have a time cost, over convenience, but being able to tailor everything to my needs and wants is a wonderful feeling.
But yes, it would be wonderful if this was a more common mentality in software in general. Especially on mobile devices.

Podcast Addict is not quite as streamlined, but has many more features.

Mine is more like:
10 minutes? Oh neat, that sounds like a nice little snack, maybe a new topic to discover?
Half an hour? Oooh, this could get interesting, this could be a pretty good introduction to the topic.
An hour? Nice, someone clearly did some research and isn’t skimping in details! Time to learn something.
Six hours? Holy heck, this topic must be much deeper than I though! This person clearly did some homework and has something to say! Time to get consumed.
- Comment on By letting the capitalistic class write the laws we let them dictate the morality of the country. 5 months ago:
I’m not entirely sure… At the very least you would be able to immediately collect unemployment (~12.000 DKK if you don’t have kids, ~16.000 DKK if you have kids), and if you’re in an “a-kasse” you would be able to collect up to 90% of your old salary.
I’m pretty sure thought, that anyone who ran away with the bank account would pretty much have to leave the country, as otherwise they would be apprehended by police, personal belongings would be repossessed, and they would not be allowed to start a new business.

I see where you’re coming from, but if the company repeatedly holds back your salary, then the union can still start bankruptcy proceedings.
It is assumed that being late with paying wages might have been a mistake, and you don’t want to punish people or companies for a mistake.
You can’t really assume that people stealing money from a store is a mistake.
- Comment on By letting the capitalistic class write the laws we let them dictate the morality of the country. 5 months ago:
So let’s see… Here in Denmark:
-
If I steal the equivalent of $100 from a store, they will call the police, the police will apprehend me, take back the $100, and give me a fine. If the robbery seems to be professional, then it could also result in jail time up to 1 year and 6 months.
-
If my employer shorts my paycheck by the equivalent of $100, then I contact my union. The union contacts the company and tells the company to pay me within a week or two. If the company doesn’t pay me within the deadline, the union will declare the company bankrupt, and the bankruptcy proceedings start by liquidating the company and paying me my missing wages along with the guaranteed pay that relates to being fired, which depends on how long I have been employed. (1 month pay if I have been employed less than 6 months, 3 months pay if employed 6 months to 3 years, 4 months pay if employed for 3 to 6 years, 5 months pay if employed 6 to 9 years, and 6 months pay if employed more than 9 years.)

- Comment on If you live in the EU - you may also be faced with this Meta prompt. Info in text. 5 months ago:
The GDPR does not in anyway disallow Facebook from running ads, regardless of the users consent. But if the user doesn’t consent, Facebook can’t run targeted ads on the user.
- Comment on If you live in the EU - you may also be faced with this Meta prompt. Info in text. 5 months ago:
You’re absolutely correct… However it will be very interesting to see how this doesn’t violate the GDPR… recital 42 says:
“Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.”
Link with more details: gdpr.eu/gdpr-consent-requirements/
Withdrawing consent in this case causes the detriment of having to either pay or lose access to the service… So this clearly isn’t “freely given” consent.
- Comment on Heat pumps can't take the cold? Nordics debunk the myth 6 months ago:
If that’s the case, you simply installed a heat pump with too little capacity…
Heatpumps come in all sizes… I just looked up one that outputs 50 kW worth of heat, and if that isn’t enough you can integrate up to 16 of them to output a total of 800 kW of heat.
That being said, if your house is badly insulated and drafty, you should fix that first, it will immediately cut your heating bill, no matter which heat source you use.
- Comment on Be the type of person who gets a sequel 6 months ago:
I read that the ash is actually quite bad for fertilising plants… And it might even hinder the plants growth… I don’t have the source handy, unfortunately…
So if you want to be environmental, your best bet is probably to be composted (only legal en very few places) or buried in a cardboard coffin.

- Comment on Meta wants to charge EU users $14 a month if they don't agree to personalized ads on Facebook and Instagram 7 months ago:
Yeah, you’re right, it seems many of these sites are getting a free pass, and reaping she benefits… Eventhough it’s obviously not allowed by the GDPR.
- Comment on Meta wants to charge EU users $14 a month if they don't agree to personalized ads on Facebook and Instagram 7 months ago:
There has already been multiple rulings under the GDPR where pages made it too hard to reject processing of personal data.
Google was forced to change their consent banner to make it easier to decline.
GDPR explicitly says that it must be as easy to decline as it is to accept. Paying €14 per month is not as easy as not paying €14 per month.
Consent is also not “freely given” if paying is the only way to avoid consenting.
- Comment on Now that we're finally out of reddit, can we finally get different tag for NSFW and NSFL? 7 months ago:
It would be wonderful with something more granular than “NSFW”…
I would love if we got something even more granular like a "Content Warning: ".
Examples:
Content Warning: nudity
- might be a painting with nude people, might be a photo of nude people, in essence if it isn’t porn, but there’s exposed genitals, butts or breasts.Content Warning: porn
- you can probably guess…Content Warning: gore
- images with gore, people missing body parts, often dead as well.Content Warning: death
- images with people dying, but without gore.Content Warning: blood
- images with some blood, but no death or gore. (often seen in news articles)
Thes could of course be expanded with many more categories if need be.
- Comment on The Fediverse should do what redditors have always wanted and Reddit Inc. has always refused to do; Distinguish between NSFW and NSFL. 7 months ago:
Yes, a renaissance artwork that contains naked women, actual hardcore porn, and a Russian soldier being blown to pieces in Ukraine, should not occupy the same “NSFW” tag…
Of course there’s going to be grey area stuff, but 3 buckets like this is much much better than a single “everything people might not want to see” bucket.

- Comment on Unity announces its revamped pricing model | After outcry from the gaming community, Unity revealed a new plan that’s a drastic departure from what was initially announced. 7 months ago:
The new Unity pricing is not necessarily cheaper than Unreal. It depends on the price model for the game in question.
Many free-to-play games see massive amounts of installs, but very little average revenue per game. See of those devs did the math for their games, and found out that their average revenue per player was around 18 cents. So if Unity charges 20 cents per install, the dev would outright have to pay Unity 2 cents more than the player even gave them in revenue.
Some other devs calculated that the install fees would come out to 106% or the total revenue that their game had made.
Unreal’s price model is generally 5% of revenue, so that would be significantly cheaper.
But it depends a lot on the actual price model for the game. Some games will pay rather little in install fees, while others will pay excessive amounts.
