KeePass also supports merging new entries from a database. Helpful for paranoiacs like me, who don’t let any other program touch the database, but are too lazy to not add an entry on the phone occasionally.

One example is HTTP signatures.

Why is it the first time I hear of this?

Ah, because it’s apparently a fresh proposal, perhaps from Mastodon themselves.

As they aren’t running in tor or i2p they can’t send you stuff.

A server can run on both the clearnet and darknet simultaneously, but indeed I don’t think that works that well if the server name is the identifier for an instance — since it would be different between the networks.

The server to server protocol has a bunch of assumptions that are not true for tor and i2p.

Could you please elaborate just a bit? I’m a web dev, but haven’t looked into fediverse protocols yet.

I didn’t know it was possible to anonymise an entire instance

I mean, that works pretty much like any server on the web, now that most communication is done via http. However, websockets, http/2 and /3 might break, I guess, when they expect a continuous connection.

(Dunno which underlying protocols Lemmy uses, so can’t guarantee that it’s really that easy.)

Hitler personally disliked Fraktur and gave a speech against it in 1934. It continued to be used as ‘the true German script’ until 1941, when the party did a 180 and banned it under the pretext that it wasn’t Fraktur, but Schwabacher, a similar blackletter script, which they called ‘Jewish letters’.

Moreover, it was banned so hard that cursive scripts Kurrent and Sütterlin were forbidden as well. As a result, people educated after 1941 often couldn’t read handwritten letters and notes of their ancestors.

Inspired by the analogous subreddit.

APIs should work, though. So unless the instance needs some kinda captcha or other client-side challenge, e.g. for registration, people could presumably use apps with it.

Plus, if the aim is just to reach and use the instances, and not to be anonymous, then one could probably use a regular browser with a Tor proxy (Firefox can do it per site with both proxy-switching extensions and containers). Assuming that domain resolution would work.

However, in my experience, not many social-media-adjacent apps support setting a custom proxy, even though modern network libraries should make it a no-brainer. E.g. few Matrix clients support that, and ones that do aren’t much of an eye candy (and have problems with the initial setup of the encryption, which seems to be a pervasive issue with Matrix).

That’s understandable, but the result is what it is. Plus, native apps seem to have built-in remedy for being kicked out of the memory, in that the stack of activities is remembered and the input is kept, so after a brief loading screen I’m back to where I was and can back out through the previous screens too. Voyager should probably explicitly implement something like this.

I was wondering why this ‘five years’ thing popped up now, because I’m pretty sure I’ve heard of it long ago.

The US was known for ages to be very shady at the borders, like circa fifteen years ago when they detained a security researcher who was travelling to a conference to tell about yet another of NSA’s shenanigans: they held him for hours, searched through his devices, and in the end denied entry.

Too late, TVs have apparently been known to connect to open WiFi networks if they find any.

Isn’t usb-c able to carry Thunderbolt, which subsumed DisplayPort at some point? I thought Thunderbolt and DisplayPort were thus merged into whatever the usb standard was at the time.

Even Electron apps aren’t necessarily ram hoarders: Stretchly, which is a break reminder and thus needs to always run in the background, takes something like 20 or 40 MB of memory.

you could even argue that V8 is bloated as well

Not really, no. It’s very compact compared to Python, Java or most anything in the same league. A compiled program would be smaller, of course, and Lua is minuscule next to anything — but otherwise V8 is small and fast. Iirc Node.js takes something like 30 MB out of the box, including its modules and libraries.

could be one of those cases where the product predates ai

It does afaik, was around for some years while the AI usecase is very recent.

The helpfully named site AlternativeTo is good for such questions. It’s populated by users and served me well over the years.

IFTTT and Zapier are the primary non-self-hosted alternatives, both have been around for ages and have lots of available integrations.

Node-RED and Huginn are the self-hosted alternatives. Huginn is older than both n8n and Node-RED, afaik, and seems to be primarily focused on online queries like updates to a webpage.

In the end I haven’t used any of the self-hosted ones, since I’m more of a code guy, so can’t say if one is better than another for anything.

That was in fact one of the original propositions of communism.

Languages accepted by the user is like the second header in http. It’s in all your requests.

I was wondering who’s gaming on their thermostat.
