I’ve got backups. Haven’t updated or looked at my server in months. If I’m ever compromised by missing security updates, I just load a backup and regenerate all keys.

I don’t put any critical data on public facing servers.

It’s not about defeating tracking of yourself, but who you share the link to, your relationship with them.

Without that tracking parameter, if the URL is common among many people (which it usually is, since usually one thing has one URL for everyone), then it’s impossible to know who shared to who.

If you have the tracking parameter, then the service can know that you shared the URL, as well as who you shared it to, being able to put that information together and thus built more of a profile on your social connections.

What do I do to get rid of the tracking now?

You stop using these services.

I’m a programmer, and if they generate page URLs that are unique to you with your tracking baked in, do not allow you to view the page non-logged in, then there’s no way to get rid of it, short of hacking their servers/databases.

If you can view it without an account, then you just browse without an account, without using a browser that has a unique fingerprint. So basically use something like the Tor one. Unfortunately for Instagram, I think both is not possible.

Of course it might be like the other comment says, it’s only the special share URL that is like this, and the one you browse around normally isn’t. Then you just use that one.

I just use the qbittorrent “search” feature. Add some of the search plugins for different sites that you can find when you open the search options.

*Arrs are nicer, but a lot to setup imo. qbittorrent you just download, open it when you need it, and then you’re done with it. If you don’t torrent a lot, it’s more time-efficient.

Until you run into some kind of problem :D

Why?

I like my shit takes wrapped in beef rolls, in case you come across some more :)

My brain is so used to seeing political content that I read “why do liberals define their own true and false” and was already like “what kind of shit take am I going to have fun reading today”

They can do whatever shit they want with their instance and believe whatever they want. The software they make provably doesn’t have any more biases than any other software. As long as that’s the case, I’m fine.

I literally have a rpi4 and just put libreELEC on it

idk, the only “personal data” GitHub requires is an email address… If you don’t have a throwaway one not associated to your identity yet, what are you even doing on the internet :D

Also just noticed the site I linked also has performance per dollar pages, USA, new, non-used prices though. I would encourage to buy used.

I’m not sure if 16GB over 12 currently has a lot of effect. I currently have 16 and my VRAM almost never goes above 8-10 or so. Depends heavily on the game of course, but I think 16 is only really useful in the future.

That is for you to decide.

The way you decide is to go to a reputable review website like https://www.techpowerup.com/review/?category=Graphics+Cards&manufacturer=&pp=25&order=date and select one of the reviews of a relatively recent, unrelated card, for example the XFX Radeon RX 7900 XTX.

For this specific site, you then go to the “Average FPS” (or “relative performance”) page and look for your models you actually want to compare to in the list. Since you picked a relatively recent review, you can also see newer cards, so you can also see how much of an upgrade you’d get with newer cards you maybe haven’t considered yet.

In this case, the average fps of the 5700XT is 49.2, while the 6700XT gets 60, an improvement of ~22%. Now, you either know what 49 and 60 fps look like, or you go into one of your older games and use an fps limiter to limit to those fps values and play a bit and compare.

In any case, the final decision is up to you and no one can really tell you what you think your money is worth.

Edit: of course, this assumes your CPU is not a bottleneck. These tests always go with the most powerful CPU. You haven’t said anything about yours, so I assumed it wouldn’t be a bottleneck.

I would immediately get rid of the warning for unstableness in both projects. They are simply unnecessarily self-deprecating and “stay away” markers. When would you remove them?.. I don’t know your projects, but it’s incredibly unlikely that they are worse in those regards than basically any other software project. It’s always the user’s fault if they use some unestablished thing in production, you’re not responsible for that and have to help them learn that.

Being experimental can be expressed through a 0.x.x versioning scheme. Having bugs is expressed by the issue tracker, and in any case not unique at all. Incomplete features is something anyone will see if they decide to try it.

The chat thing seems like one of a million chat things, why is this chat solution better than any other already existing one? Needs to be clearly expressed as the first thing. tool like this suffers from adaption usefulness, it’s only useful if people use it, why would you use it if no one uses it.

The other thing looks very niche, so also not surprising that it’s not used that much.

I don’t know, I wouldn’t worry about it that much. Kind of confused anyway why you’d “look for” contributers. Seems kinda like you want to simply get a following for ego reasons or something.

Exactly, in other words, you get people involved by making your tools good and advertising them to increase usage.

Write good documentation, make it user-friendly, create beautiful landing pages for the repository (i.e. readme), create a marketing/project website, be responsive in discussion forums, etc etc

… both of which magic erasers do

If you don’t know Lisp, it’d probably take too long for me explain (i.e. I don’t want to). Basically, macros let you rewrite your code arbitrarily, which would have the same effect as arbitrarily modifying the stack.

That’s what macros are and let you do in Lisp
