• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨finally got static IP from a new ISP⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Handy but only for three domains. They massively jacked their prices a couple of years ago. Moved most of my devices to Wireguard on a VPS instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China now faces 245% Trump tariff⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Gonna need more than eight bits soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: If the frontpage constantly looks like the same 5 - 8 posts, try sorting by "Hot".⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And if you get sick of seeing the same post multiple times on the page, give PieFed a go. It stacks the multiple comments under the one item instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For me…

  Because the PWA font is too small and can’t be enlarged

  Because there’s no ‘back to top’ button so have to kill the app to refresh.

  Because there’s no app.

  But sometimes I use it anyway because the combining of articles is so much better than seeing the same article three or four times in a row in Voyager.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind*⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it was more ‘up and down’ :)

  Can people see what groups you subscribe to on Lemmy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks. Handy to know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LibreOffice downloads on the rise as users look to avoid subscription costs | The free open-source Microsoft Office alternative is being downloaded by nearly 1 million users a week⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it the best free option? It works fairly well although I can still kill it sometimes.

  I know there’s a few other alternatives like OnlyOffice, wps office etc but these might be freemium.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not going to travel to the US just in case they triangulate my ID. Haven’t said anything terribly bad about USA but still, why risk it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink is now accessible across the White House campus, which was already served by fiber cable, after service was “donated”, as some cite security concerns.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Run everything through a VPN tunnel instead?
