To expand on the container/vm idea, for someone that’s never done such a thing before, installing whatever OS u want (windows or other) in virtual box then setting the network get internet only from the vpn would be a very secure but not all that hard to do.

The easiest way for a beginner would however be to use a VPN that have its own software with built in kill switch, then you select whatever program you want killed if the vpn goes down, and it just exits that program. (If your paranoid research DNS leaks first)

Can you put together a tldr? I’m glad your writing this but it’s to much for me to take in all at once 😅

Request: While implementing such a feature I would also like to be able to post screenshot of a post including its title.

Joey for reddit had such a feature, and since I mostly repost stuff for my non technical family in a chat app the image and context is perfect for that.

Good sumup, but never explained what RAAC stands for

They don’t need to cancel each other out.

Lazy loading usually means to load the image at a lesser quality to have something to show the user very fast, so yes technically this can be called opposite of pre loading if used solo.

Pre loading in this instance usually means loading before the user sees the image.

These 2 things can be used together, an example could be to lazy load images at a low quality that are further down the feed before you scroll to them, and load the full image as you get closer to it/have it show on the screen.

But I’m sure the devs knows about thease tricks already

Looks nice.

You can rename your desktop shortcuts with invisible characters to have them only appear as icons. One character that works for this is holding alt and using the numpad to press 255, you cant have the same name for the icons, so just add different number of invisible characters to them.

I open the app and see where I last was in contact with a device, and it will show me a map where or just say “ring” if it’s close by, there is supposedly a AirTag like functionality where you can report one of your devices as lost. And then it will alert me if another tile user is in range of my device, but I have never used that function.

I have also played around with apps like Tasker to make a notification show up whenever I get out of range of a AirTag, (not the same as the thing u can get by paying, thats just circle an area on a map and it will alert you if it’s outside that circle, I wanted to know if I myself left the circle without my device, not the other way around) that works too, but I had to add a task in Tasker to first kill the Tile app since while it was running my tiles are not advertising their Bluetooth id and thus i could not find them with Tasker.

I do the same but I usually say it to my wife or kids, so if it didn’t work then they can remind me 😉🤣

And if they are not around I just say “Hey Google remind me in X minutes/hours about blabla”, it’s actually a very good habit, and I have about 6 Tiles (like airtags) on all my important stuff that I can ring if I forget where I put it. They can also be used to locate my phone, I just need to find 1 device and press it to ring my phone and then find all the rest 😉

Edit: oh and another pro tip, cameras at the house can also be used to check if you locked the door! 😂

I believe he is referring to the fact that YouTube don’t have to pay upfront for new content, they even get new content without hunting for it, and many smaller channels don’t have partnership and so on.

Sure they have a platform, backend and so on. But Netflix needs to have all that too plus buy things to show to their customers.

Could u link to where u got the theme? 😊

I wonder if the feature is bugged or something if that rly is what it means when they are dark like that, because it has happened multiple times now to post I’m 100% sure I have not yet seen.

I have all boxes checked under the setting for mark as read in Infinity, maybe they have not yet been tested enough to find all the bugs.

Strange, I have had notifications show up when I’m not in the app

That makes sense, thx! 🙏

Oh so that’s what it means, thx! 🙏

I have also recently moved and it makes me wonder, will users moving to other instances affect the graph?

I like the idea but it’s too long, I suggest this https://lemm.ee/comment/1992588

Lemmity This is my vote Edit: But I don’t see a problem leaving it as is either

Nice! How easy was it getting D4 running?

I have been looking in the steam store hoping it would show up since a lot of other Blizzard games are. Steam makes running games on Linux very easy, what did you do to run it, add battlenet as non steam game?

Old Thinkpads make great Linux laptops with almost all models having all drivers working out of the box. Any model sufficiently new will work much better than any new laptop in the same price category. They also have great ports, replaceble batteries, screen, keyboards, ram, ssd and so on. I have a X250 and my wife have an T440s.

Buy anything newer then this (40 is my recommended minimum) if u want to use them as daily driver:

X440 (the smaller 13 inch laptops start with X)

T440 (14 inch, top of the class performance vs sleekness)

L440 (14 inch, don’t know what’s special here)

W540 (15 inch, workstation)

Some models can end with an S or P, example T440S. S models are thinner, P models are more powerful.

Just search your local marketplaces for “ThinkPad” then look for a picture of the screen and you will see the model number in the bottom left corner. ThinkPads have a red nob on the keyboard, so if the picture don’t have a nob, you can flick past it quicker 😉

You can even get one with the wrong keyboard layout and just replace it, they have so many replacement parts on ebay you can build one from scratch if you wanted. I replaced my keyboard to get backlighting and my screen to get 1920*1080 on a x250 I got for about 125 Dollar.

PS: don’t get a E variant, they are the budget variants with way worse build quality.

Edit: formatting

Nvidia will probably get better in the future (2024+) due to some great work being done on the open source driver. So as you say, I would also recommend AMD unless you rly need Nvidia for something specific like developing for RTX or something. I have recently gotten my Nvidia 2070 eGPU to work after many hours of debugging, while all my AMD cards work out of the box.
