evs.ee at least offers ISO standards at a not extortionate price:

The pdfs do have some DRM on them and they will come watermarked with the buyer details though. The former is easy to get around - I used foxit reader and a pdf ‘printer’ to make a copy that opens nicely in anything.

Why pick shit out of your cereal, when you can just get the other brand that doesn’t have shit in it?

At least they’ve zapped the acceptable ads out of it :)

Ironfox is my current pref for mobile, backed by uBO & a VPN to a box running pfsense.

ABP hasn’t been relevant for years, because they started on “acceptable ads” back in 2011.

Anyone with sense has long since moved on.

Odd one. Accessible using an app, not on browser though.

Will need an alternative if you need to port forward, but for general use you can’t fault them

UK is implementing law for age verification on nsfw content, that’s the jist of it.

Some services are choosing to simply not serve the UK rather than deal with the faff and/or the privacy concerns. lemmy.zip where I am from is one of them.

Blame lies squarely with the UK gov & Online Safety Act. It’s a shit law made to pander to the ‘think of the children’ types that are incapable of parenting, also coming with the bonus of grift and doxxing concerns by companies that move in to provide the service.

I don’t blame any site operator that chooses to simply not play. VPN goes on, normal service resumes.

Use a different service, or encrypt your data before upload & share password separately. For anything remotely private, should be doing that already.

For chaotic good, upload LLM poison to fuck with the training data.

Oh nee :((

It’s a Synology NAS so will work with the Synology DSM integration: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/synology_dsm

There’s definitely ways to poll the sensors of other devices though. I had some janky sensors set up before for monitoring a standard Linux box.

We’re doing fine here:

Aber Deutschland ist geschmolzen :(

To its credit (of which there is little), Windows can handle most things these days just fine without externally obtained drivers. Gradually improving since 7 onwards. The only sore spots really are proper gfx drivers and printers. 10 and beyond will also gracefully handle being drive-swapped into completely different hardware.

If it’s a reinstall, activation is automatic for OEM licences.

Step 4, yes, what a shitshow. Way too many hoops and hurdles to go through just to get a functional OS without the bloat and guff.

Awesome.

It also works very well from the share context in Android, once remotes are set up. Handy for when I just want to dump some photos on my desktop.

Cx File Explorer does the job for me. Does local, cloud and network - SMB included.

Just set up the location and go.

Rock on :)

Confirmed issue, just gave it a test.

Adding the uBlock Origin extension to Tor Browser will resolve it and make the links proper again.

Working fine for me on Mullvad.

We’ve opened a piefed instance too - early days yet though: piefed.zip

We shoulder-surfed a tech back in the 90s when he was getting us set up. Thus, the “HAHA FREE” dialup connection was born.

Gave years of service to our old beige box.

Whatever way you go for setting up the systems themselves, I’ve found dwservice.net to be perfect for accessing systems with only a browser.

The host component is Mac, Windows and Linux compatible. The clients need only an account at DW. Hosts tied to your own account can be shared with others.

Depending on host OS, you get screen, terminal and fire transfer access. Sessions are logged if you need to review who’s accessed what.

Free. Donation optional.

I condensed down from a power hungry tower server to a couple of thinkstations and a nas. Much nicer on the power.
