32MB was massive for documents at the time. It could hold your entire academic life back then.

Nowadays you need like 32 Gigabytes lol

Hangouts 2013-2022 (10-ish years)

Google’s first text, voice, video communication service.

That's not true, does anybody remember Google Talk?

This is the dumbest shit I've ever seen

There's a pretty easy explanation for it. In fact, it's just one simple word: stupidity

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Right, that's probably a good idea

First, obviously ensure that you stay safe.

But if possible, gather as much evidence as you can. Make voice or video recordings, write down things you here, take photos of things that might be important, whatever. As soon as you're in safety, send all the evidence of your father/brother making death threats and planning violent riots to the police/FBI.

Print your ticket if you feel safe doing so, otherwise you can get it at check-in at the airport.

You can also just have it on your phone. You don't even need to use Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, most airlines just give you the PDF file. @sprigatito_[email protected]

Use an app your family doesn’t use or understand, like Snapchat or Discord.

Nah, use Signal, they definitely won't use it, cause it's "woke leftist crap"

Signal posted this on Twitter a few years ago:

And this is what the Trump cultists had to say about it:

So you can definitely be sure that they don't use it

It's also much more private and secure than Snapchat or Discord. I would avoid Discord, since it's not encrypted and your chats are saved to your account. If someone gets your password, they can read all your chats. Signal only saves them on your device, so you're safe.

Israel isn’t knee deep in an information war against the US and Europe

You're right, they're trying to spread their pro-genocide propaganda all over the world

Buying a Pixel is a good idea, especially if you put GrapheneOS on it. It's by far the best mobile operating system I've ever used.

Mullvad VPN offers Brave Search as a backend in their Leta search engine proxy. That way you don't have to access Brave directly.

Unfortunately not, since iOS does not allow third-party apps to access the APIs required for Wi-Fi scanning. I think Bluetooth could be done, but bluetooth beacons by themselves aren't as useful.

From the beaconDB Matrix room (somebody recently asked the same question):

 

[email protected]

I already made a post about beaconDB itself in [email protected]:

beaconDB is a drop-in replacement for MLS, which uses the same format request that's used by Mozilla's Ichnaea.

The source code is available on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/beacondb/beacondb

You can contribute to the project by using an app like NeoStumbler (GitHub) or Tower Collector (GitHub) to submit location reports. NeoStumbler does Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GSM, while Tower Collector can only do GSM cell towers. Both are FOSS and available on F-Droid.

It is also recommended by the GrapheneOS project: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112759509558471713

https://grapheneos.org/articles/positon-location-service

Just keep in mind that it's still in relatively early development, which is why it really needs contributions.

When removing a torrent with "Also remove the content files" instead of deleting the files it moves to .Trash-ID, even on headless/docker systems.

There used to be a Kbin instance called feddit.online, which was shut down. @[email protected] just announced on Mastodon, that he brought feddit.online back to life, this time using PieFed. PieFed is a pretty neat alternative to Lemmy and Kbin/Mbin, created by @[email protected] and of course it's fully free and open source on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi
It has some cool features like “Topics”, which are basically groups of multiple communities that you can view all at once (similar to these Lemmy feature requests: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3071 https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1113).

I'm looking into setting up Mastodon instance for myself on a very minimal cloud server. To save resources on that box, I'd like to run the web interface on my own server at home, and only have the Mastodon backend running on the VPS. Is it possible to completely get rid of the web interface and only access the instance through the API? What's the best way to achieve this? Does anyone have experience with this, or do you know any useful resources?
