You’ve got excellent taste, my friend

Lord of the Flies up in there, hot damn!

aaaand then I dream about it, and wake up at 3 am with an epiphany as to how it could be done. Too bad it never works for my own projects…

• Lemmy
• My local Lemmy instance
• Lutris
• KDE
• Not sure if you want to count paying for Bitwarden

I pay a small amount monthly to each, I figure instead of paying $5-10 for Netflix or something, I’ll give it instead to these fantastic folks. Most of them are going through some major service, whether that’s Patreon, Paypal, whatever…I already have a credit card with my spending being tracked, I don’t mind if my love for the open source community becomes a documented metric.

Damn…Vimms Lair was my favorite, friggin Nintendo doing what it does best…

I’m happy about any new features that draw more users to a federated alternative :)

This has me curious, not to derail the topic, but I always hear that ClamAV is the best way to go for Linux. Is there a free solution that you would recommend in place of it?

This particular OP tends to be fairly contentious, I’m surprised Beehaw didn’t ever take action on his account.

Well I’ll be damned, I trusted the hivemind on privacy communities on Lemmy and was needlessly jaded against a good service. I’ll stick my foot in my mouth.

Ah, well my apologies, I made the incorrect assumption that it was. I’m headed to bed at the moment, so I apologize for the short explanation, I’ll try to come back with better facts and sources, but the short of it is that when you use a VPN, you’re effectively shifting trust from your ISP to your VPN provider. Trust that your data is not being mishandled, misused, is secured, and is not being used for further profits. If a VPN provider logs heavily and has a police raid or a subpoena, your data is still freely accessible. In all fairness, in using NordVPN, your traffic is still encrypted over the network, further securing you from attacks, but they tend to lean very log-heavy, and if I remember right, have had some security issues in the past, though don’t quote me on that, I want to come back more researched. Generally speaking, the consensus on Lemmy has been in favor of Mullivad since they log nothing and can even take anynomous payment, on top of being a very affordable VPN. Sorry again for my incorrect assumption regarding sarcasm, I’m used to a lot of hardcore privacy nerds on here. You’re better off with NordVPN than without is the fact of the matter, and good on you if you’re making use of it 😁

I hope this is a sarcasm, lol

Ah, excellent, thank you so much for answering that!

I also feel like that’s to be expected, I bet big companies see graphs just like this too. There was anger and hype for a lot of people to move to a new platform. Many did, but it didn’t become the new habit for everyone. That’s not a failure of Lemmy. In fact, I’d say this is an impressive metric, especially considering we do not know what defines “active”. Is logging in what mark someone as active? Upvoting? Commenting? We should see this graph as a big win, especially during Lemmy’s infancy.

I kept the naming scheme I used when I was doing independent tech support: snack bars. People got a chuckle when they heard “Kit Kat was misbehaving”. So I kept it for my servers, Kit Kat, Toaster & Strudel, and Snickers

Can attest, Feedly’s pretty nice

Hahaha, I’d pay to see that

Thank goodness…

That is, indeed, the link that I posted 🙃

It’s amazing how many cool projects they’ve funded the creation of, but never really advertised, and subsequently killed

RIP
