341 Mbps down, 144 Mbps up at about $65pm in South Africa (advertised 300/150).

A lot of speculation that does end with this in the article:

"After discussing her case with experts, Matsapulina now believes her Telegram messages may have been compromised by a form of spyware. When she was told that a hacking device would need to be physically nearby to infiltrate her phone, a memory resurfaced: At times before her arrest, she had noticed an unmarked truck with a dome on its roof parked outside her building. She had even jokingly mentioned it to friends on Telegram. Now, she remembered, as the police were banging on her door that morning, she’d spotted the same mystery vehicle parked outside. By the time the police stormed her home, the vehicle was gone.

Matsapulina has since started using Telegram again."

Most messaging apps are vulnerable on the client side with spyware, no matter what E2EE exists along the way.

It stands for Long Range, so would otherwise have been LR.

Snowrunner - stunning scenery and realism, and you can take it as slow as you want…

The post here is a link to an online survey being done by the Signal Community. Users need to follow the link to answer the survey if they wish (but it means creating yet another new account which I’m getting pretty tired of as I’m now passing over 900 different logins all with unique passwords etc ;-)

Thanks for qualifying that: Yes, I last used it in 2021 and then most of the faces I really used, I don’t recall having paid for. But it does seem it is no longer what it once was. Not so funny that many apps rise in popularity, and then start squeezing their users fort cash.

Well I don’t use Apple anymore but yours is a trollish comment unless you at least link to why it is a scam app. At least then educate everyone as to why it is now a scam app. Is there something that has exposed this in a report. Let’s at least learn something here then from you.

I’m reading this on Boost (once off payment) and no ads…

Fast to open, search, sync compared to? To answer generally, though - no lags or long waiting for anything to happen.

I’ve been using the Proton Mail Bridge for a while, which allows Betterbird and Thunderbird (amongst others) to securely work with Proton Mail.

Yes Linux Mint. You CAN migrate later to other distros without losing your data so feel free to test others out later when you feel ready and know more about them.

Ah got you, it is just text though so the syncing is pretty quick and light. I’d say way less than any site hosting images and videos. The default is no sync, so users need to set that up to sync too. It attempts to do smart sync between successful syncs.

In what way though? If you’re self-hosting you just keep your server online. It does not need that central server at all to operate. Even if there are no updates it keeps running.

It can be self-hosted as well so that server is not essential to the service…

That was the instance I signed up at, about 10 mins before I posted this link. Lemmy also went down in the last day, so nothing is bulletproof. But the site is working as I’m browsing and commenting right now.

There Matrix discussion forum may be best place to ask - https://matrix.to/#/#mbin:melroy.org

But like most other things you’d chroot in and disable it? I think though whatever fills up your disk is probably going to prevent a proper boot up.

I think a lot of other OS things are going to break when a disc gets full… But you can also delete history within Atuin.

Atuin only has styles really but if you mean the bash prompt, I’m using Starship prompt.

No, the pull requests are to do with submissions of source code to the core project. The project owner has to review and accept those changes for them to happen (or not).
