Tough audience here, huh?

Have you tried checking what the bytecode does? Maybe it’s just a way to block detection by Microsoft and antivirus programs, by creating a different binary every time. Just because something isn’t written in a high level language doesn’t mean it’s malicious. But it may be.

I use linux too and used a Windows 7 VM, not because I couldn’t borrow a Windows computer, but because they don’t ship MSIE any more.

I use it and like its UI but it doesn’t properly support offline, you can just download single tracks. By proper offline support I mean something like Audinaut, which unfortunately doesn’t work in new Android versions

Thanks for the Wikipedia article. Can you quote or paraphrase the first sentence?

rsync.net

I like to leave ssh over tor hidden service on remote boxes. It’s pretty resilient and can serve as emergency access for when something happens to the VPN. Not a great primary access method because of the latency.

I’ve seen this idea before

I’m going to reply with a link to review of a phone that solved it with IP67 rating

There used to be external chargers. I’m not speaking Nokia times, I had a Xiaomi phablet with Android 5 or 6 with one of these. Just a frame for the battery with an USB input.

With a replaceable battery, you just carry a second one and swap them on the go

Looks like there is a simple way now, yay! https://blog.diego.dev/posts/firefox-sync-server/

If I recall correctly they used some exotic database that is made for multi tenant cloud environments and scales up really well, but does not scale down too much. I’ve seen some article where a guy managed to set it up locally but it was a long one, and the result was resource hungry. But, again, my knowledge may be outdated

Just look at the setup docs. First they tell you to setup mysql and then this nugget

The correct way to authenticate with Spanner is by generating an OAuth token and pointing your local application server to the token. In order for this to work, your Google Cloud account must have the correct permissions; contact the Ops team to ensure the correct permissions are added to your account.

Syncserver was what OP was asking for, I used it and it was great while it worked. The rust rewrite is almost impossible to self-host, at least as of a year ago there was no easy way to do it on a reasonably sized machine.

Nice idea but: ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

It seems to be some kind of AI that polishes your writing style, helps change tone of the text etc.

Anybody tried this Spotnet thing in practice? How do the results rank vs centralized indexers?

First they took removable batteries, then they waited until people get used to it, and now we get this nice feature.

Just keep it to yourself. Keep the market value of fediverse low.

I heard that in the USA people fire guns in the air to keep the neighborhood free from gentrification and the property value low.

Wasm’t that the date when they forced every developer to verify and publish their identity and phone number? https://www.jwz.org/blog/2024/11/your-personal-information-is-very-important-to-us-part-three/
