on that other website that i was using before lemmy, someone says that if you complain to support, they let you keep the $2 month subscription instead of $4. Although in those cases I would just cancel out of spite. They can’t increase the price by 100% with just 4 days notice!

I was happy that finally Google after android 10 returned an invalid IMEI to all those apps that asked the phone permission for fingerprinting reasons (almost all the Chinese apps like WeChat, taobao, amap, Baidu, required the phone permission and if you denied it, they directly sent you to the uninstall page), then left this huge unpatched & unpatchable hole that doesn’t even require a specific permission…

Wow, this sucks.

Not for this app because anyway it looks like it’s not working on Android 14, but because shady apps can reliably track installs, uninstalls and so on.

There are games like “Control” that are guaranteed to be dead in 5 years max as they’re glorified remote play solutions. The game is playing on someone else’s computer and streamed to the switch. So the bill for that computer is paid by new sales like a Ponzi scheme. No more sales = the dev turns off their servers = no more playing

Netflix updated the credit with his name? Thought they would ignore it until S3 as they would need to pay an editor to fix that.

RIP VMware.

Broadcom prefers to milk the top 500 customers with unreasonable fees rather than bother with the rest of the world. They know that nobody with a brain would intentionally start a new datacenter with VMware solutions

i mean hosted on github, bandwidth/compute paid by microsoft

You download the iso from microsoft.com then if the watermark really bothers you, get massgrave from GitHub (also Microsoft)

Nowadays getting a pre cracked copy of windows is a security issue, also don’t work really good as many times is the enterprise version tied to some online KMS that would 100% go offline someday

wow i wish in my country there was a company like this, with those prices

LOL meanwhile even if I have a 4k monitor I still choose 720p to save space and have quantity over quality

It really surprised me that they’re based in Italy.

Between all the Western countries it’s the stupidest one to base a VPN company. The management risks prison time for little gain, why not Cyprus or the Caribbean like anyone else? Open a shell company in the Bahamas and still operate from Perugia if they really like to live in the Italian countryside

Italy is a country controlled by copyright trolls, for an Italian citizen using them as a piracy VPN is an insane idea, why not just be unprotected at that point?

It’s almost like choosing China or Russia as base

From the article it looks like zfs is the perfect file system for smr drives as it would try to cache random writes

Yes, I got lots of lag due to WordPress using all the CPU time to elaborate the same page over and over again.

I could have wasted some days to setup a cache proxy and other stuff but for a website with 10 monthly visitors is overkill, is faster to block everyone else outside the target. If someone is visiting from Russia or China they have 120% a malicious intent in my case, so no need to serve content

it’s not a distributed denial of service but a single bot asking the same fucking wordpress page every 100ms is still a denial of service on my poor home server. In one click i was able to ban the whole asian continent without too much effort

Tell this to the Russian bots that are hammering my personal site for some reason.

It’s way easier to make a rule “no Russia” or even “only my country”

You can easily set SSL with a self signed certificate, they get nothing

Simple reason: at home I don’t have a static IPv4 address and I can’t do port forwarding

It’s the list of IPs that belong to cloudflare.

I think that because I’m using tunnels it’s not necessary to have all of them, just the docker ip address space

For the first the bandwidth is paid by Microsoft via GitHub, the second from linuxserver.io via donations.

That’s why I prefer the first one

Too long to type, why it can’t be .lan
