Yes, I killed Canada, not worth to host a backend there anymore :3

Send us your channel later so I can add replication to your videos on my peertube instance if I feel like it ;)

Mine is https://peertube.nadeko.net/ if anyone is wondering but is more for myself than other people.

ID verification for phone numbers.

ALMOST every bank now forces you to have a phone application to authorize payments and each banks implements it in their own way, no standardized way like TOTP (RFC 6238) or Passkeys (WebAuthn), and sometimes those apps force you to use a verified phone (no custom ROM basically) because of security. So if you have no battery (or phone number, because some banks still send you codes trough SMS), you can’t authorize transactions.

Most banks use 3rd party, non local AI companies to verify your identify with your face.

Chile :3c

Me, hi

I think this is not the correct place to ask

Not lies, because Youtube on android uses something called DroidGuard, while on browser and other platforms, uses something called BotGuard. Their implementation differ, but NewPipe uses DroidGuard and programs like FreeTube and Invidious use BotGuard. So that’s probably the reason why NewPipe still works fine.

Don’t quote me on that tho. But that’s what I know

The limit is 1080p, because there is just a lot of traffic. Allowing more than that, will lower the capacity of people that can watch at the same time

I was going to say this. I’m not even from the United States btw. That’s just how the fediverse and federation works.

Soatok also has a very good post about XMPP

Matrix is great, but not the best, recently, less than a week ago, the Matrix.org server went down due to a drive failure, so they had to recover all the server data using a backup, so you are better off using a homeserver that is not matrix.org.

Also, all clients of matrix kind of suck. Element desktop is extremely laggy and sluggish to use. Element for Android is deprecated, ElementX, their new android client is not completed and lacks basic features. There is other clients but all of them have their downsides.

Access is restored tho: https://mastodon.social/@netblocks/115170319982458225

Weird move

There is no Steal a Brainrot 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Use bandwhich to see which programs are using traffic ;)

Samsung used to be good. I used to always buy samsung but since I can’t affort a “high end” device, I go with the medium end ones, and samsung medium end ones are terrible for the price. So instead of getting a medium end samsung, you can get something better and cheaper on another brand

Note: When using a pruned Monero node you can reduce the size from 80GiB to ~25GiB

I don’t think taking screenshots of everything you do every few seconds is telemetry.

And what if I have Instagram but I don’t publish anything on it? lol

+1. Mullvad browser is the best when it comes to browse the clearnet (not Tor). Also, if anyone reading this, do not compile Mullvad browser yourself, only use the official binary from the Mullvad site (or the -bin variant if you use Arch Linux AUR) since from my testing, different compiled versions of Mullvad browsers come with different fingerprints.

Using an optimized build from CachyOS and using it on CreepJS will give you a low amount of visits, same goes with the Flatpak build, but the binary from the Mullvad site gives around 2k views, which means that at least 2k people have the exact same fingerprint as you, but of course, it counts the people that have visited CreepJS to test their fingerprint. There is also fingerprint.com which seems to be wayyy more advanced.
