I have no sympathy for GAFAM, nor for Mozilla.

Nothing new. Mozilla could disappear tomorrow and a few dozens of people may notice it, if even. They’re basically useless at this point.




I have a couple of no-brand SATA-USB enclosers with some jmicron chipset. Can’t remember the exact chipset right now, as my RPi is not working ATM (see edit).


sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX should do the job


Yeah, I use something like this, a no-brand enclosure.


I’m using a couple of cheap Kingston A400 for my setup (120 and 480 GB) and they work just fine. One thing I noticed is that the 120 GB one’s health went down to 92%, from 100%, in “just” one year (smart parameter). But that’s implies a lifetime of more that 12 years, so I’m not excessively concerned.

EDIT: of course, just after writing this comment the smaller SSD began to behave strangely (errors in dmesg).


Who cares… Inbuilt adblockers are not affected by MV3.



I have a couple of subdomains there and yes, it may take a few days for the confirmation. I guess there’s indeed some kind of human review.


Was about to suggest Zoho myself. I have a couple of personal domain email hosted there and they’ve been very reliable until now


I won’t recommend the player since I would be downvoted to hell

You shouldn’t care about downvotes.


I have a .de domain with them. No personal info are shown on whois info.


Was on Namesilo. No complaints, save for the slow website. Changed to porkburn because it was a bit cheaper.






go tell other people to use it

I’m not going to tell anyone what they should do, sorry. And every site is biased, no matter what.


WDYM?

EDIT: ok, sorry. Link fixed.


Why should people stop telling other people what they should do in 2024…



Right. Much easier to avoid reading altogether and just blame someone else when bad thing occur. Typical.


it’s obviously not obvious to some people who think it gives them some semblance of privacy.people who think it gives them some semblance of privacy.

As I said in a different comment, it should have been obvious to anyone with with basic reading skills. Google may be a shitty company (it surely is), but the PEBCAK factor is strong factor in this case.

The only “private mode” of browsing is anything that’s not Chrome or Edge.

Disagree. Independently on the browser you use, website may track you server side and you wouldn’t ever know.


Yeah. But you don’t get upvotes so easily by not shouting “Google bad!”.



Not an expert, but AFAICT email self hosting is not considered a good idea, as the maintenance of an email server requires a lot of work. An alternative could be using Cloudflare for the DNS and set up email routing (for free).



  1. Check out afraid.org and learn how to set up DDNS.
  2. I’ve been using afraid.org for a long time with no issues. I don’t know IPQuick.
  3. Real domains can be REALLY cheap if you don’t need something fancy. Just go to https://tld-list.com/ and sort for “cheapest renewal”.

Domain+Zoho Mail Lite subscription (less than 1€/month, ATM).


Wrong. Vivaldi and Brave have adblockers, without even taking into account AdGuard, Blockade and the likes.


Quoting someone from Reddit: Mozilla lost my respect years ago. They’re just buzzwords and a scam, at this point.


Uh? Is this a thing? And, if it is, what’s the use case? Just curious…


Just migrate your account to a different instance, if you plan to use it. It’s not difficult and many of them already defederate from Threads (mstdn.social, for instance).


Tell that to @Gargron@mastodon.social (the creator of Mastdon, AFAIK). He’s very excited about this. And I can’t honestly understand why.

https://mstdn.social/@Gargron@mastodon.social/111576826633308486


And I have moved my mastodon account to an instance who actively defederated Threads. I’m not interested in interacting with anyone on that network.

And I’m fucking sick of the “content relevant for me” thing. I interact with people asking/giving help, discussing and so on. Mindlessly consuming “content” is simply a disease.


That’s fine, mine was just a comment, no judgement at all.


Downvote me to hell if you want, but I honestly believe that GOG, as one of the few non-drm’ed game sellers, is actually a good place where to spend your money.


True… It amazes me when people become so entitled online, especially in the FOSS community. It looks like they think devs owe them something.
