I’m using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.
Signal fills an incredibly important spot in a spectrum of privacy and usability where it’s extremely usable without sacrificing very much privacy. Sure, to the most concerned privacy enthusits it’s not the best, but it’s a hell of a lot easier to convince friends and family to use Signal than something like Matrix.
What are you on about right now? I don’t mean that sarcastically, I really am wondering what your concern is. Are you concerned that because your phone number is associated with Signal that police will know you use Signal?
I know, but it’s recently began again on TikTok after years of being a pretty dead trend.
Has there ever been a “good” trend on tiktok?
The ice bucket challenge was making rounds again. But there’s basically infinite harmless trends that nobody thinks of. The 100 men versus 1 gorilla thing is a trend and unless somebody jumps in a gorilla pen for Harambe 2.0 it’s been harmless.
Reminder that the ice bucket challenge is something that raises awareness and funds for ALS research.
Where are you going to meet people IRL?
OP specifically said online.
I meet tons of people on Discord.
My old microwave wouldn’t cook anything if the date wasn’t set.
Yes. The date.
If there is flowing water beneath just rinse it
Just put the search results in under the search bar, bro.
As all of them should! We’re too deep into it to fix it, but it would be nice if 12:00+2 equaled 14:00+0
I cannot express how much I hate that timezones aren’t flipped. 12:00+02:00 should be equal to 14:00+00:00 like a math equation!
Oh, lol, well, I guess I mean 2 + N where N is the number of layers Linux is already on
Only on Windows and Mac, right? On Linux it’s just two layers, yeah?
That’s so weird wtf why don’t they call it something like “DNS pool” then?
Why call it secondary then, that’s so counterintuitive lol 😭 I guess “the second hardest problem in computer science” applies because I can’t think of a better name either.
Edit: Apparently years of seeing it called primary and secondary led to a fundamental misunderstanding of how it works lol. Just use a pi and ad guard.
Randomly? No, only when your pi goes down. Or when ever you’re looking at something that gets around the simple DNS based ad filtering pinhole does. It’s foolish to spend twice as much money for this level of fail over protection to prevent ads. It’s not like if you see an ad you’re going to die lol. If you’re that opposed to them, sure, go for it, but you’re better off spending your time doing other things to stop ads than maintaining two pi holes because one might fail.
And like the other person said, just use ad guard’s public DNS. I use it on my router and on my phone.
I just use their free public option. It’s basically as good as pihole. With pihole I still got some ads. I still get some like this.
One of my biggest gripes about the fediverse (and honestly any online community) is people making increasingly niche places to discuss things before there is a need to split things due to size. I’d post that to something like a general hobbies group. I’d also say mods need to be less strict about what is and isn’t on-topic while there isn’t much traffic in their communities.
