Are we codeberg yet?

They won’t go to jail, period. No company owners never go to jail, kinda ever. This phrase is out of proportion. At worse they would have a fine.

Also still in the blog everything is words and very opaque like " We do this not only through technology and advocacy (Proton has contributed over $500,000 toward defending these values around the world)" : like where, what, when?

“There was no legal possibility to resist or fight this particular request.” : I doubt very much unless Switzerland is a dictatorship in disguise.

“Switzerland generally will not assist prosecutions from countries without fair justice systems.” : clearly not.

You can search it online : I don’t know any good media so here’s the first result on DuckDuckGo https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/6/22659861/protonmail-swiss-court-order-french-climate-activist-arrest-identification

It is a nice PR but for me I am not impressed. Rolex is also a non profit organization in Switzerland and and mostly help hiding there finance.

Correct me if I am wrong but all I see is words and promises. I would trust them if they release the yearly finance transparently.

For now the only act I can judge them on is their collaboration with police to give ecologist activists IP.

NEDO is a big public institution for renewable energy research. The budget is ~500M$ a year and they bet a lot in hydrogen : https://www.nedo.go.jp/english/index.html (https://www.nedo.go.jp/english/activities/activities_ZZJP_100096.html)

Thank you for sharing this. I didn’t know this FS yet. It seems new and have some nice goals. I always have a grudge against zfs/btrfs because of the resource usage/performance.

I’ll keep an eye on this. I’d love to find some benchmarks.

I thought this also would need the next Nvidia driver version 555. Am I missing something?

it’s been at least 7 years now, I don’t have any hope.

Wine is fine so I guess proton would be.

Damned, this is so frustrating when you cannot switch yet. Not like Wayland is perfect anyway but I felt the same with pipewire where the new system as some needed improvement but the switch is harsh.

Interesting, it’s sad that for me the search is quiet garbage and feed me with result based on my IP/location and I couldn’t find a option to change that like DDG does.

Never heard of bonfire, I really need some kind of tech news to explain and review those kind of things. I spend few minutes reading some of this “micro-bloging” thing. I’d like to see/understand concrete application. Is this mastodon-like small messages use?

I don’t like it being HTTP based and TLS (certificate?), nor I am a fan of flutter and the other 70-ish dependencies (https://github.com/localsend/localsend/blob/main/app/pubspec.yaml).

KDEConnect is great and does way more than file sharing, I’ll stick with that.

On top of the fact that those previews are annoying as hell as other comments pointed out, I want to add that this kind of feature also uses a fair amount of processing + memory.

I think that is a nice opt-in feature for those who wants it but I like my default light and simple.

It really has the vibe of an hbomberguy video. I also feel the background is a subtle tribute to his style.

They just don’t want to watch it. Length is not really an argument.

Yes for the pointing to a wall.

You can go with your firewall I don’t mind. I don’t get why you think this had anything to do with security. This is just to get any software to go offline by default.

Yes indeed. For now you can just use wine registry option (from the up arrow next to the wine glass) to open the windows registry.

The you go in CURRENT_USER (don’t remember the full name, on my phone right now) and something like software/windows/current_version/internet_settings . There you should have a “ProxyEnable” you can switch the value from 0 to 1 (just double click). Then right click to add a “string value” and name it “ProxyServer”. Once created double click on it to change its value to something wrong like “http://bla.local:80”.

You can check internet by running exe from the wine environment (up arrow next to play) and start internet explorer from c_drive/Program Data

We always had. Many people wrote personal notes/letters in cryptic ways to prevent unwanted readers from deciphering it.

Imagine a word where we would teach children not to make their own cypher because this is illegal. What a distopian society.
