Hexbear? I wasn't expecting that.

Apologies to hexbear users that I may have called Chinese bots. You were just useful idiots after all.

Fascinating country.

It's worth more than one visit, just due to its huge diversity. Food is amazing, and it's very lively. But you have to get used to it, and go with the flow. If you can't live without all the first world luxuries and/or don't feel comfortable stepping outside your bubble, don't go, it's not the place for you.

Would I live there? No. And I'm deeply saddened by the political direction it's heading in. But don't form opinions about countries you've never been to.

Wallabag.

I self-host my own instace, save articles I want to read from my laptop, and then they sync with the app on my phone. I read them offline when I have some time to kill

If you don't mind selfhosting, miniflux is pretty nice.

Really lightweight, downloads the full text if possible (instead of just the first paragraph), etc.

Ah yes, right wing nationalism is a problem exclusively in Ukraine. Russia invading a neighbour has nothing to do with Russification.

Don't worry, lemmygrad will be here in a second with a bunch of whataboutism about the US.

If you read the actual Hacker News thread, they were getting a 5sec delay with wget, but not curl.

Don't remember the details, but it could have been a bug in twitter's code (i.e. not malicious). But we'll probably not know the truth because Elon does not reply to media enquiries, and tech journalists love a juicy story.

You're welcome. :)

Change your settings.yml to have this

enabled_plugins:
  - 'Hostname replace'  # see hostname_replace configuration below

And then define the rules like this:

hostname_replace:
#   My redirects
  '(.*\.)?reddit\.com$': 'old.reddit.com'
#   My filters
  'slant\.co': false
  'dailymail\.co\.uk': false

SearXNG.

It's like having a search engine customised to my needs.

Automatically filters out SEO junk sites, and redirects links automatically (e.g. reddit.com -> old.reddit.com)

 

I am currently self-hosting a meta search engine instance (searxng), which allows me combine searches from different engines (e.g. Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc), but also to filter out websites that I don't want to show up.

The only website to make my blacklist so far is slant.co (useless SEO-riddled site that always comes up when I search for software comparisons). I also automatically redirect all reddit.com links to old.reddit.com.

I'm looking to expand this list. So, which websites do you blacklist? Either using software, or just mentally.

age seems to be the new hot thing to encrypt data.

However, when you generate a key pair, the private key just sits as a plaintext file on your computer.

Maybe I'm too used to PGP, but this makes me a bit nervous. There doesn't see to be a key manager that allows you to pass in a key id with which you encrypt / decrypt. It's all done using the public key directly in the command line (for encrypting), or the plaintext private key file (to decrypt).

Am I missing something? Is there a better / easier way to manage these private key files?

I've just recently moved to Lemmy, and so far I'm enjoying it quite a bit. However, I've been thinking about the privacy issues whe DMing someone here.

Since this is a federated service, when you DM someone you have to trust both your server's admin, as well as the recipient's. Not that I particularly trusted reddit, but at least it was 1 corporation with (hopefully) some solid security procedures in place, and potential penalties for data breaches. Whereas in Lemmy, it might just be 2 random guys.

I've added an age key to my profile, in the hopes to make people aware of this issue. As well as giving them an option, if they wish to contact me privately.

I know, it's not user friendly. But it's the only way I could think of that wouldn't rely on email + GPG. Does anyone know of a better solution?

EDIT: I also realise that not having signing capabilities might be an issue... So maybe reverting back to good ol' GPG is a better option?
