The various wireguard mesh VPNs (along with Wireguard itself) such as tailscale/headscale, netbird, etc

Windows only recently got support for 7z and RAR. For the several decades before that, it supported neither.

Downvote and block, repeat as long as it takes. Eventually, the amount of shit takes will be limited, especially if you minimise the use of /all/.

Having principles means being willing to give something up now and then, whether you get the outcome you want or not.

What are your favorite searxng customizations / bangs?

Nothing hugely advanced. I added the NixOS wiki to !software_wikis and I also redirect the old wiki to the new wiki (since the former blocks VPNs). I also use the redirect functionality to redirect twitter/reddit etc links to FOSS frontends.

I’ve also added a bunch of stackexchange sites with their own keywords.

I’ll add you can also use duckduckgo bangs by using !! e.g. !!protondb.

Duckduckgo also has bangs, which I consider an essential feature.

Although I use SearXNG instead, since their equivalent is a lot more customisable (although less bangs out of the box).

“I used to be a progressive but then a random liberal online was gently critical of me and now I believe immigrants are poisoning the blood of our race!”

No, no dig up stupid!

It’s called Llama and it’s one of the more prominent open source LLMs. So it’s got that going for it at least.

Social sciences are important even if finding truth is messier and happens over a longer period.

In any case, misinformation is often not something that can argued as just a difference of opinion. There are obvious cases like outright lies about the occurrence of events such as “immigrants eating pets en masse” or “the bowling green massacre”, or that the “greenhouse warming effect” doesn’t exist.

Fact checking doesn’t have to be outright removal either, it just needs a critical analysis of the facts, and people can make up their own minds.

And you can self-host kiwix and use the compressed zim files available here.

This stuff was happening even in the early days of Facebook let alone now so I get it.

The problem is that people are vulnerable to disinformation and now there is little to no pushback on these platforms.

In a world where people are expert critical thinkers with no biases and perfect rationality it wouldn’t matter, but that isn’t how people work in the slightest.

It can and will be multiple renewable sources of generation and storage, with nuclear only having a limited role (especially if SMRs don’t become a thing).

Iirc it’s also a prerequisite for full-disk encryption on modern android.

How modern? It’s still working on Evolution X with Android 14 (although maybe it needs custom rom support).

It would be a bit less secure since the bootloader itself could be compromised, however (but I wouldn’t be concerned about random thieves/snooping in this case).

From what I recall it’s better but not much better. They also shilled for their snake oil MQA format but thankfully they are moving away from that.

Try bandcamp too. Almost all goes to the artist and you get FLACs.

I also like to grab a bunch of content all at once and then watch at my leisure.

If you’re tech-inclined you might like pinchflat or Tube Archivist, which can archive channels/playlists in the background with video metadata automatically, which you can then use with JellyFin.

Need to be comfortable with /c/[email protected] type setups, however.
