  • Brutal. sh.it and lemmy.ca both pre-emptively ban porn. .world bans everything fun. Rolling my own instance means I need to become an expert in securing a public facing server. Guess Lemmy is gonna fail, what possible use is it like this? Back to Reddit, at least there I can talk about things that matter to me, even if I’m being abused by a corporation while I do it. Who’d have thought corporations would be the last holdouts for free speech?








  • Threatens, as in, hasn’t happened and may not. Not all threats are true.

    idk how well stuff works on Chrome Mobile. I use a different Chrome-based mobile browser that does allow extensions, and Ublock Origin works great on it. Turns out there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Who knew?

    I’m well read on Manifest v3. I’m also aware of a Ublock Origin version that is designed to work under it. I have it installed and ready to go, for if and when the old one stops working. But that has only been threatened, too, and not even by Google.

    I’m not certain it is just an assumption, but I am also not certain it is a prophecy. Until I get more certain, I’m not going to bust my hump worrying about it. And I’m certainly not going to bellow to the hillsides that we’re all doomed.








  • When I decided to switch to Fedora, I wanted a safety net. I had a 500GB SSD, so I bought an additional 2TB SSD, so I could make full disk image backups and be able to store 3 of them (I used full disk encryption, so my disk image backups were the full 500GB). And I dutifully made backups, either monthly, before I made a big change, or before a major update. Been doing this for nearly two years now and I haven’t used a single backup image even once. It’s almost disappointing, in a perverse sort of way. I was looking forward to having to learn stuff by fixing things that break, but nothing ever does!
