• [Shitpost] Government bodies that block your VPN

  I’m using Mullvad because I like their company. F***! These is no way I can formulate this sentence without it sounding weird… Anyway! It seems like the state’s websites and the municipalities’ websites allow Mullvad but the counties’ websites block it. What the actual f… 😂 What’s the situation in YOUR country/region? Are you able to do taxes, surf on healthcare related websites (hospitals etc) and on government bodies’ sites without issues?

• [Help] Packet sniffing with old Android phone?

  Thank you @ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com for telling me about the pcap app! On rooted devices, you can even be running a VPN simultaneously, because then the pcap app doesn’t need to take that slot. Please share any knowledge or experience that you have on packet inspection using smartphones. I would like to sniff at my switch, which is switching between my (two LANs)^[I put “two LANs” within parentheses to denote that the two LANs are not being switched between.] and my ISP. For this, I hav...

  You’re a god.

• Gentoo or LFS?

  I have been using Arch for five years and I think I would like to call myself at least a progressive beginner when it comes to Linux, computers and networking, to be humble. 🤣 I would like to “move on” to Gentoo or LFS to force myself to learn more^[This was my main incentive for switching to Arch a long time ago, and it worked!]. Please share your pros and cons for switching to any one of these approaches. Use case: a gaming rig (using nvidia’s proprietary drivers and an AMD CPU) on one sys...

• The best thing about being an adult

  It’s 10 PM. I’m gaming, in my head I’m preparing to go to bed. It suddenly hits me, “I want icecream.” I go out to the nearest grocery store that miraculously closes at 11 PM, buy some chocolate chip vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce and some honey coated almonds and peanuts. You’re welcome. I’m welcome. Nite.

• When you cannot sleep but it's too late to take sleeping pills

  Ugh… Trying TES music and white noise for now.

  This looks like a neat and simple enough setup! Thank! :)

• [Shitpost] Nooo... Lost my last unregistered SIM-card 😢

  I had one SIM-card left that had been “grandfathered” into the current system, in which you are required by law to have the card registered with your social security number. Because Gestapo, that’s why. Anyway, I was keeping it hidden away in my wireless earbuds’ case, taped under the lid, but it must’ve gotten loose. Ah well… I wasn’t really using it for anything, keeping it around just in case.

• Post #971343

  Yeah, sorry, I was unclear on several parts in the post. Thanks anyways! If Steam’s native broadcasting turns out to such, I’ll try something else.

• Post #971302

  Thanks! I just installed OBS - also trying out a few variants from the AUR - but it gave an error saying “couldn’t load frontend-tools plugin”, didn’t recognize/pick up the Steam and/or the game’s window, even though I tried the game in various screen modes, and WHIP wasn’t in the streaming servers/sources selection section. I did some limited troubleshooting, but gave up, because my friend says they have Steam too. We’ll try out Steam’s “native” broadcasting function later tonight and see if we...

  God I love humanity. Sometimes. Really neat project! :D

• Alternatives to Discord and Twitch

  Given the recent controversies surrounding Discord and the fact that the end user is a product of Twitch, I wonder if there is any “bare bone” solution to stream my gaming session to a friend who’s on Windows. I’d rather that they didn’t have to do anything except clicking on a link or perhaps installing a piece of software but with no need to do any configuration. From their perspective, it should "just work. Should I set up a webserver into which I feed an OBIS stream? Or can perhaps f...

• [Android users] Felix Hollederer / QuickTiles · GitLab

  This is a shoutout to the app QuickTiles and the developer and contributors thereof. While at first glance it may not seem like a privacy focused app, however, ultimately, improving digital privacy is more often than not a balance between convenience/ease of use and, well, privacy^[There will always be know-it-alls and above-it-alls in the privacy community who trashtalk normies and/or beginners, acting like this and that is never a tradeoff. If you happen to be one of those, think about wheth...

• Post #955020

  Used it once on a laptop whose fan had died and which I in retrospect shouldn’t have uses no matter have little I tax the CPU, but, I worked. antiX at least let me boot up, save my data and then discard the laptop.

• HW Fido2 Provider not working in IronFox

  It worked great until yesterday, and today, I cannot get it to work. The video below illustrates the problem: buzzheavier.com/3jekkdqj1fu2 I have tried: Clearing the cache of both HW Fido2 Provider and IronFox Rebooting Installing Key Driver BT Kunizoft Disabling uBlockOrigin, Cookie Banner Blocker and Enhanced Tracking Protection Any ideas?

• Made the switch to IronFox. First impressions.

  Following what I learned over at programming.dev/post/47796780 about Brave I decided to switch to IronFox, which is also recommended by LibreWolf. I wasn’t able to find the damn ~/Bookmarks directory. I tried to create one under /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.ironfoxoss.ironfox/files/ and copied my Brave bookmarks.html file into it, but to no avail. I ended up manually copying the bookmarks into IronFox, since I couldn’t find any import function. The documentation and FAQs are to...

• Tools that summarize ToS etc

  Do you have experience with any of these? github.com/DavidHavoc/ToS-Reader-Summarizer github.com/skamal23/ToS-Summarizer I’m interested in tools that highlight privacy invasive terms and conditions that are often hidden behind legal jargon or wrapped up in so much text that the end user is discouraged to actually read through the terms of service and/or the privacy policy.

• [SOLVED] display Japanese in terminal

  I have installed noto-fonts-cjk but the Linux kernel terminal won’t display Japanese/Chinese characters. Environment: ThinkPad T480 Arch Linux Edit: I managed to track down this page wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_console and realize that I need to setfont. Now I just need to find which one in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts can display Japanese, I suppose. Edit2: looked through …github.io/linux-console-fonts-screenshots/ to no avail.
