You can export your reddit data. There’s no simple, existing way to replicate it on Lemmy though.

The export is machine readable, so scripting a loop that creates posts from it would be viable and reasonably doable.

Article says they claim to be GDPR compliant.

That’s specifically what they don’t do. They collect statistics, not individuals.

GPU encoding means it’s using the encoder the GPU and driver provides. Which can be worse than software encoders. For software encoders they exist for encoding. On a GPU it’s one feature of many, and doesn’t necessarily seek out the same high bar.

AWACS stands for Airborne Warning & Control System (AWACS)

Even the positive result in your first point I am skeptical of. Advertisements have a huge selection bias on what they show you. Even if it’s the topic you want, I’d be concerned about correctness, reasonability, viability. The highest bidder shows me ads, does that mean it’s the most expensive option? Most wasteful? Most manipulative into other spending or into vendor or thinking lock-in?

She showed documented child rape material in a closed meeting (I think it was to press?) to gain support for her online regulation/blocking efforts. It’s when I learned of the term demagoge.

Between that, her work as a defense minister (costly contracts to contractors) and no improvements to the military, and what you said, I feel like at least I don’t hear as much or as bad things of her as president. Which alone is a low bar of course.

Note that I said 7-zip, not zip. Are you making that claim for 7-zip?

Do you have a source for the brute forcing? Because I’m interested. If it’s actually being done I doubt it’d go beyond predefined common password lists or exploiting non-secure passwording.

The European Union cut off more than $100 billion in funding to Poland as part of its dispute with the previous government, funds that began to be reinstated once voters elected the new, liberal government committed to doing away with Law and Justice’s changes.

It’s always baffling to read how much money the EU sends out in funding - not just to EU states, but in general to support EU values even outside of the EU.

Cutting off 100 billion in funding is certainly noteworthy.

Very interesting article about how they were able to free the media.

When you talk about network setup and IP addresses you have to differentiate between your local network (between your end devices and router) and the “outside”. Your devices connect to the internet through the router.

The IP gateway setting is your end device setting of which gateway to send packets through. You set it to your router. Whether this is done automatically (via “DHCP”) or not doesn’t make a difference in the end.

The netmask defines the network address space size. It’s also something you don’t need to change to set/change a DNS.

Where did you try to change the DNS setting? On your end devices would be enough. On your router it should also be a simple setting independent of other and of IP settings. (If the router allows configuration of it.)

(Did you set a static IP on your router, facing your local network, or the internet (would have to be provided by the ISP), or your end device within the local network (this is not necessary for DNS)? Either way I don’t see why it would be necessary to set a static IP address anywhere.)

You can 7-zip it with a password. That’s pretty simple to do and use - you only need an archiving program that supports it and can send that file and share the password.

So you want to encrypt it?

That’s a very broad question.

Privacy related: Adguard as DNS server, Firefox with uBlock

A bunch of Windows stuff disabled (Web search etc)

Where do you live? Whether you can use your own modem or not may differ. What the isp can or must do differs too.

I’ll interpret “privacy at risk” as normal user privacy, with responses reasonable for normal citizens in a western/EU region (I can’t confidently speak for others).

A modem is usually a “stupid” device or component. It is configured for the adequate transmission settings. It’s not a concern.

The router is often rented and managed (and updated) by the isp. Replacing it with your own, a bought product not from the isp, and managing it yourself is a reasonable and relatively simple thing to do. I wouldn’t call it necessary. It’s the extra with extra effort. Installing your own open firmware is extra extra.

The simplest, most effective thing you can do for privacy is change the dns server of your devices. Instead of using your default routers isp provided one, use a privacy focused/mindful one. You can use one that does not resolve ad hostnames for additional significant benefit.

When you don’t use the isp dns and use secure connections the isp already has no open protocol to snoop through. If they or another party at their endpoint wanted to snoop they can only use IP addresses which may vary in usefulness or attempt other more sophisticated tracking and analysis. A VPN would hide even the IP addressing - which is usually not necessary.

Firms wanted seven years’ worth of IP address logs

I doubt - or hope they don’t - Reddit stores them for that long?

I’ve been using Posteo for years. I can recommend.

Doesn’t it also imply “exposing”/winning over them?

“grill”?

I looked at Movies Anywhere and

• US only
• Movies bought only (no series, does not support rentals)
• sounds like they offer a unified interface to multiple providers - but you’re saying it unlocks the bought movies on the other platforms? - if it’s only a frontend it’d not help in keeping access
