5·29 days agoThey aren’t being actively developed are they? And do they are windows only too, last time I checked.
The eternal problem of open source: people will happily pay for proprietary software and services, complain that open source isn’t ready. Then when it is, they will not donate a single cent to continue development but instead create passive aggressive posts and issues demanding features or shitting on the project.
IPFS rant
I wanted IPFS to be successful 5 years ago. I wish it had been successful, but barely anything has changed. It’s a resource hog with a terrible UX. There’s nothing easy about it and the documentation is straight to “here’s our HTTP API”. Gee, thanks, what about the people who don’t want to immediately write an application?
Uh… Where do you get that it uses IPFS? I checked the seedit repo and it doesn’t seem to mention it in the dependencies nor readme.
This way, if the third party starts doing some bullshit like trying to lock me in, donating to a dickhead, or whatever else I disagree with, I can cancel my subscription, move to another third party, and keep all mails on my server.
I would like to be able to change providers and have the emails available on multiple devices.
IMAP allows multiple devices but leaves the emails on the server. POP pulls them from the server but that means they aren’t available to other devices anymore.
The solution (I think) is to pull using POP onto a shared server, then make the pulled emails available using IMAP.
Does your POP mail client sync across android and Linux (3 devices BTW)? Do share it!
So Facebook has to be sued in the Netherlands for it to succeed 👌 If somebody goes through with it, that would be a great popcorn moment.
1·2 months agoIt’s called Web Monetisation. It’s a standard that’s in development. In short, you, the user, can donate/pay money on any website that follows the standard. No patreon, no PayPal, no VISA, no yada yada.
Setup: You install an extension or use a compatible browser, create a wallet with a web payment provider, login / connect with the extension / browser.
Example operation: while browsing you happen upon a website (Lemmy.world for example) or web page (tilvids.com/u/thelinuxexperiment or one of the video pages), the “tip” button is made available, you hit it and 1£ is queued to be sent to the website or person on the webpage. At your leisure, you accept the transaction.
This can be implemented any number of ways e.g statistics are collected (locally) about which websites you visited with web monetisation active, at the end of the month, you are shown a breakdown of that activity. Say 10% peertube, 30% Lemmy, 40% mastodon, and a smattering of other softwares. You say “I want 10£ to be split across the different softwares with a minimum of 1£ per transaction”. Or anything else you can come up with.
That’s it. The website operator doesn’t need you to have PayPal, or patreon, or some special bank. You have a " wallet", you decide how the money is transfered and to whom, and you’re done.
Are you trolling or is this the first time asking for help?
Imagine if someone told you their car didn’t work, you asked what they did, and they said “turned the key in the ignition twice and it doesn’t start”. ? No make, no model, no description of sound or recording of the action, no idea when they got the car checked, no photo of the warning lights, nothing. Would that be enough information for you to help?
As @just_another_person@lemmy.world said: post configs! What is your OS, what commands did you enter, what are the contents of your yml files, which containers are running, which images are you using, etc. Nobody can help you otherwise.
Add the information to the original post.
What is the connection between your client and server? Is it wireless and going over the router first? Does it work with a direct, wired connection between client and server?
If your connection goes over your router, does your router have a DNS server? What options do you have for DNS config on your router?
Nvm. Completely missed the small “www.reddit.com” under the post. Didn’t realise it was clickable. Thanks!
Was it taken down? I don’t see it. Why was it being promoted in the first place and how was it not immediately banned? I thought reddit banned anything lemmy related.
Impressive that a site like Forbes is writing about the Fediverse. A small step to helping it into the mainstream.
That was too long. It takes too long to get to the point. What are the main points? “Enshittification”? If that’s the main point, then I don’t think the prediction is correct. People can take a lot of shit as long as they believe.
0·10 months agosequenceDiagram Computer->>+Nameserver: Where's wikipedia.org Nameserver-->>-Computer: 185.15.59.224 Computer->>+Wikipedia: GET / Wikipedia-->>-Computer: return /Here is the simplified sequence diagram
As you can see the request to wikipedia itself does not go through a nameserver, only the DNS request does. It’s the entire reason Firefox has the option to proxy DNS queries over the proxy: to avoid DNS leaks
Right now, all that should be happening is DNS requests being proxied, not the rest of your traffic.
There’s a huge difference when I enter https://one.one.one.one/help/ normally with
"Use system proxy settings"in my browser and when I enter it with a"Manual proxy configuration"with theSOCKS Host set upand"Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5"checked on.To me that indicates the DNS proxy through TOR isn’t actually working with your dnscrypt setup 🤔 However it’s difficult to debug from here. It’s possible the DNS query is slow, but because the actual HTTP request is going through your standard internet with no proxy it’s fast, and when you do turn on the proxy for HTTP/S requests, you observe actually using TOR for everything and thus the latency.
Could you run these commands please
# Find which process is running the local DNS server sudo ss -plant | grep ":53 " # alternatively sudo netstat -plant | grep ":53 " # Check your DNS resolver config # You can share it or not, but 127.0.0.1 MUST be in it, otherwise your DNS queries aren't being encrypted/proxied cat /etc/resolv.conf # Measure how long it takes to query a new domain name time dig techhub.hpe.com time dig bash.org time dig element.ioIf you feel comfortable with it, you share the logs of dnscrypt (I don’t know what kind of information is in there, so you might have to clean it).
journalctl -u dnscrypt-proxy2or justsystemctl status dnscrypt-proxy2. Either here or PMed. Here are encrypted pastebin alternatives.
I don’t think that’s a correct assumption. DNS just resolves domain names to IPs. When you access a website, if the IP isn’t in your dns cache, it will look it up and that’s the only part that should be going through dnscrypt. The actual request to the site goes to the IP directly. To use TOR across your entire system, it should either be used as a VPN or as a system-wide proxy. Dunno how to set that up though…
You should be able to at least activate logs for dnscrypt and see which DNS entries are being requested. To have a deeper look into your traffic, the only thing I know of is wireshark, which can sniff all your packets. You should be able to observe your DNS request going to dnscrypt, possibly through TOR (I doubt the packet tracing will work, sequence numbers or something should be disrupted by going through TOR), then a request going out to the IP it found over HTTP (port 80) or HTTPS (port 443).
How do you know it’s not being proxied? How are you reaching that conclusion?
To answer your question: no guideline (as is typical with nix).
I always check https://search.nixos.org/options first. There’s a chance it’s a package which requires setup or even a service that has extra config. If it’s not there, then https://search.nixos.org/packages is next.
When multiple come up, it depends which prefix or suffix they have. Prefixes like
pythonPackages.either mean the package is written in a specific programming language with its own packaging intricacies and its easier to keep them under that prefix, other prefixes likeneovimPackages.mean it’s a package for a program and something like a plugin or so. Probably more prefixes exist.There are some agreed upon but badly documented suffixes (the usual nix style). But if it’s a version suffix, then it’s up to you to decide which one to use. In a comment you mentioned
julia, well that’s a programming language so you have to choose the version you want. Sometimes the manual has information on how to use the programming language or one of the wikis.
No VPN, just qBittorrent and I2P = anoymous torrents
Could you provide an example calculation? I’m not getting it. Do you want to map values from one range to another e.g [-1000,1000] to [-1,1]? Will each instance have its own mapping?
Also, computationally, I’m not sure how this is going to work iteratively. From what I understand, activitypub sends events either singular or batched to other servers e.g User X votes up, that’s an event sent, User Y votes down, that’s another event sent. If I’m not mistaken, lemmy doesn’t store the events it receives so reconstituting a vote tally isn’t possible.
I kinda get where you’re coming from, but I’m not sure it’s the right solution.
