Heavily modified vivaldi. Vertical tabs on the left side. Side panels with often used tools. Autohiding UI, pop-out links. I cannot live without native mouse gestures and the Vivaldi speed dial. Opera also offers it, but that browser is unfortunately a shell of what it was.

Zen browser as a semi backup.

I tried using zen as my main browser for a month, but I ended up going back to Vivaldi. It's just so much better.

Belgium is 100% not a stem family. Nobody lives with their parents if they can financially avoid it. It's not a thing and hasn't been for decades.

So true. I love the music and atmosphere. It is fantastic. The story looks great. But I do not enjoy the gameplay personally. I want to play it so much, but even 10h in, I'm still not truly enjoying it. Makes me sad, I want to love it so much.

I've used a synology as my first NAS. Using truenas now on a selfmade larger one.

The learning curve for truenas vs synology is immense tbh. I'm still not fluent in truenas usage.

You have to be a hobbyist to use a truenas. Synology is fire and forget tbh. My technologically incompetent Gen z (seriously, wtf is up with Gen z it skills...) kids/nephews could use synology. No way they would get truenas running.

That being said, I personally do prefer truenas, but I've put in days of works to get where it is.

Is this real? Or just some balloon fetish role play shit?

I've seen this type of stuff on reddit now and then tbh...

What makes you assume I only have cod files on my pc? I'm not running dual boot on my pc.

Linux nerds can be exhausting tbh :)

Who's coming to search the stuff on your tails distro?

How is that useful in this discussion? I need windows because I play CoD with my kids. I still like the concept of this specific windows tool.

I enjoy life. But I am very aware that if I die, it all just stops.

If not for the pain I'd cause my loved ones, I wouldn't mind dropping dead tomorrow. As long as it's instant and painless. Like turning off a pc. When it's off, it's over. Easypeasy. No more stress, hunger, love, joy, nothing. Doesn't sound horrible to me.

Suicide though? No way. There's too much good to actively keep living for.

Fair enough. It's still more news than the endless reporting major news websites do (I'm looking at you bbc) about his fucking tweets.

But I can see your point that it's not very newsworthy on Lemmy (nor is this new btw, he has done similar shit before)

Just an idea, but maybe nothing actually happened? So nobody is sharing their videos, or they're just not going viral because there is nothing to see... The truth is always more mundane than you want it to be...

What's more likely? A shadow government wiping thousands of videos without thousands of people being up in arms about it. If Gmail goes down for 15m, the whole world goes crazy. We're taking about the phones of an entire district being instantly cleaned, livestreams shut down, cloud backups (including people backing up to homeservers) being wiped and all. Maybe even dumb cameras and instax pictures being destroyed.

Or nothing but a random hoax of someone having fun?

If you still find the shadow government more likely, there is no discussion to be had tbh...

The government is so powerful that they've even managed to downvote your comment exposing their evil ways! Incredible.

At the same time, they're too incompetent to keep sensitive war information out of the press, feed or teach their children and poor or even just agree on what to call a fucking bay. But scrubbing thousands of phones instantly, in these live streaming days, no biggie.

 

I am running a NAS at home, Minecraft server and some other stuff.

I want to make it all easier to access by getting my own domain, both for myself and friends and family.

Will also use it for my mail address etc.

My main goal is reduce my dependency on US services for very obvious reasons.

What's a good non US dns registrar to use? Found a ton online, but it's my first time doing this and I'm a bit lost unfortunately.

Any help and/or advice is greatly appreciated.

 

I'm traveling to the US mainland for the first time in my life in a few weeks.

I am not overly stressed about privacy, but I have read that US immigration can really overstep their boundaries. Are there any simple specific steps to take on my devices to protect my privace when going through US border control?

Remove my main accounts from my phone/tablet and use dummy accounts? Or just removing my biometrics?
