This rule is a trap. They are supposed to do it but there is no way to do this reliably (not even mentioning privacy issues).

It is not anonymous and suffers network fragmentation. Yet the force of Bittorrent is its large community and mature performant tooling (compared to IPFS).

I’d say yes. The user base / visibility of i2p torrent is pretty limited though. You can have a look at the Postman i2p tracker.

Sounds overkill just for backing up files.

Agree on Wireguard. It is faster, more stable and most likely more secured than SSH. And it will work with any application (no per-application configuration required). Without a third party tunneling service, you will need to expose a port in any case (you can setup port-knocking if you want to).

Regarding individuals, I’m following a bunch of software developpers. I’m mostly interested in topics, hence I prefer Lemmy by far.

DHT is autonomous and does not require a tracker. Usually it is only used as a fallback as a regular tracker is quicker. It’s p2p, and is split accross people hosting it.

I am doing 5-10$ rounds of donations (4-10 projects each generally) to my favourite projects too on a regular basis. I favor XMR transactions as is it largely accepted those days and fees are appropriate for such low amounts.

A phone server that is disconnected from cellular is already broken anyways.

Palworld is another kind of game playable multiplayer on xbox/pc.

“ex official said: this might happen and that might mean” how is this relevant news?

I use Gthumb for simple edits (croping, resizing, rotating…).

They went as far as producing fake documents to cover up their embezzlement, and got busted…

I’m fine with Rofi. I’ve used xfce4-appfinder also, it’s less minimal, not configurable (good graphical defaults, might be what you want).

I guess if the copyright trolls got their way, there would be no general purpose computing.

Exactly. These kinds of statements are so naive.

I use BTRFS for the same. Being able to check for and repair silent corruptions is a must (and this is without needing to read the whole drives, only the actual files). I’ve had a lot of them over the years, including (but not only) because of a cheap USB controller also.

i2Psnark is an alternative. With a lot less features (and not mentioning the UX)

I use Signal, but I’m unable to force everybody to do the same.

Any chance to use Whatsapp on /e/ ?

Mattermost used to be the go-to alternative, not sure why it is not mentioned yet. Then it looks like Revolt is getting traction now.
