They have a poor history of incidents that leaves many people not trust them.

Perks of still running bare metal in colo, no issues for any of my stuff. Not seeing anyone say anything in the Lemmy chat on Matrix either.

Arguably, if it was normal to sideload apps it wouldn't be as much of a barrier to users, but they've been conditionned to think they need an app and the only place you can ever get them is the store.

It's a technical hurdle only because Apple decided they want to control everything, and same on Android because of Google's ever increasing war on sideloading. You used to download an APK from the browser and it would go like "This is an app! Install?", but now you have to go enable third party installation and all that, and now the whole Play Protect forcing developer validation coming up.

Well that explains quite a few things, especially in Alberta.

PieFed seems to have taken the spot as well, mostly delivering on what Sublinks wanted to be but faster and better. Python is more attractive than Java even for the Rust haters.

Wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't check the UTF-8 validity at all and just lets the apps get broken UTF-8 where most of the time nothing horrible happens. That or they just strip invalid characters.

It's not the size, it's a size to content/quality ratio. I'll happily download a 500GB game if it's got the content to match.

Uncompressed assets doesn't bring higher quality visuals or content, it's merely pure laziness or a scam to make people feel like they're getting more for the outrageous price games have gotten.

Free speech includes respecting speech you disagree with and speech that makes you uncomfortable.

If the roles were reversed and you were lined up to be banned because you're not siding with the "correct" side, you'd be crying abusive censorship.

That's what the downvote and block buttons are for.

Yes, a lot safer. Even bugs in the renderer or media player would typically be triggered by JavaScript by say, moving elements around really fast or whatever.

Without JavaScript, the browser renders that page and that's it, there's no JS to modify it or open popups, nothing to dynamically load/refresh content. The most you can do without JS is animations and responding to simple events like changing the color of a button when the mouse is over it. So your only shot to attack this is the renderer during initial page load, once.

You need to set up your PC to be on that IP address first, TFTP doesn't magically listen to a particular IP, you need to configure the PC with that IP.

ip link set eth0 up
ip addr add 10.10.10.3/24 dev eth0
ip addr add 10.10.10.1/24 dev eth0

Then you can start the TFTP server on the interface:

dnsmasq -d --port=0 --enable-tftp --tftp-root=/path/to/tftp/root -i eth0

For all its flaws and mess, NFS is still pretty good and used in production.

I still use NFS to file share to my VMs because it still significantly outperforms virtiofs, and obviously network is a local bridge so latency is non-existent.

The thing with rsync is that it's designed to quickly compute the least amount of data transfer to sync over a remote (possibly high latency) link. So when it comes to backups, it's literally designed to do that easily.

The only cool new alternative I can think of is, use btrfs or ZFS and btrfs/zfs send | ssh backup btrfs/zfs recv which is the most efficient and reliable way to backup, because the filesystem is aware of exactly what changed and can send exactly that set of changes. And obviously all special attributes are carried over, hardlinks, ACLs, SELinux contexts, etc.

The problem with backups over any kind of network share is that if you're gonna use rsync anyway, the latency will be horrible and take forever.

Of course you can also mix multiple things: rsync laptop to server periodically, then mount the server's backup directory locally so you can easily browse and access older stuff.

The absolute worst is self checkouts that have the audacity to ask for a tip. What fucking service?
