Later Android versions also let you set a custom DNS in settings, so you can have DNS level traffic filtering without an app that does it via local VPN.

It’s wild.
They act like they’re some sort of revolutionary industry, but what do they actually produce?
Nothing.
They don’t make anything. What they do, is move money from those who are wrong, to those who are right, while significantly disrupting reality by involving financial incentives where they have no business being.

Like absolute shit."

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Stoat self-hosting: Instance invites?English
20·2 days agoSelf hosting Stoat is a nightmare at the moment.
Only the webUI works out of the box, if you want the phone app you need to compile it yourself.
At least the desktop app now supports connecting to custom instances, but it’s by launch option, not the GUI.
All that said, my understanding was that you give the code to your friends, and they have to enter it during signup.
Enabling invite-only doesn’t remove the signup functionality, it adds authentification, so only people with the invite code can pass.
Interestingly, if you deport everyone except the president, the crime rate skyrockets to 100%.
Especially as many places will be based in the USA who is the least likely country to implement these laws
uh, what?
I mean if they can really just do nothing, then that is also something it would be good to be sure about.
Nintendo has shown that it is possible to attack open source projects at the repository level, and while that wouldn’t necessarily stop development, it would be a step down to force development technically “underground”.
And if instances have to start being regularly replaced, that WILL cause attrition.
I mean… They have to.
Countries are making it law, so sooner or later, fedi projects are going to have to deal with that crap.
Oh, what’s the speedtest server?
I’ve not run into that yet myself, but I’d love to have one of those.

Wikipedia@lemmy.world•Loudness war - A trend of increasing audio levels in recorded music, which reduces audio fidelity and—according to many critics—listener enjoyment. ...First reported as early as the 1940sEnglish
8·4 days agoOldest trick in the book.
Want to trick someone into buying a more expensive audio product?
Just let them “try” it and play the music a little louder on the thing you want them to buy.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is Dungeon Meshi worth it if I'm not into anime?
6·5 days agoI see you don’t need more convincing.
Dungeon Meshi has one of the more populated communities on Lemmy, [email protected].
It’s mostly just fanart as we’re between seasons, but the episodes discussion threads are likely to be quite active again once the second season starts.
Symfonium is not open source. It is a paid app by a helpful and responsive sole dev.
If you want FOSS, that’s Finamp. But it is not as good. It does also implement offline play features.
The Symfonium dev has responded to and implemented two requests of mine, making me quite happy to pay for and mention their app.
My combo is Jellyfin+Symfonium
With Symfonium you can manually download playlists and favorites for offline, and/or have a “rolling cache” where the most frequent listens are automatically kept synced for offline listening.
My collection is far too large to keep on my phone in its entirety, but with Symfonium I don’t need to, and if I’m ever caught without internet, I’ve still plenty to listen to.
Jellyfin does not organize the music, it’s a way to browse and access it. For a nice client for desktop, look at Feishin.
To actually organize the music, you want something like Picard.
If you don’t know about soulseek, hit up [email protected]
It’s been by far the most effective way to actually find files.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can anyone recommend any good science communicators for a 12 year old girl?
15·6 days agoLots of good channel suggestions.
But I would also nominate COSMOS.
Both the original hosted by Carl Sagan, and the new series with Neil deGrasse Tyson.
For me, they brought the epicness of reality, scientific history, and the vastness of the universe, into focus in a way nothing else did.
They made me feel a hopeful and powerful “humanity is fucking AWESOME, and can do INCREDIBLE things”. It’s not just informative. It lights a fire in you for the way humanity fights its way through the dark, using the scientific method as our guide.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a piece of Media that is so underrated you must mention it?
1·6 days agoGod yes. I miss it dearly.
Deadlock is scratching the itch for me.
Also Battleborn Reborn has made the campaign, and bot matches possible again.
Work has gone into making online matches work, and there are some videos of test games on youtube.
Work has stalled for now, as the main dev is busy with other stuff.












Kopia is my recommendation. I’d be happy to help get it working.
The featureset and performance in comparison to Borg/Restic make it the best choice for a lot of cases.
Borg is excellent, but it does require management access at both ends, and is more complex to use.
Kopia is quite simple, once you have it set up. Including its restore options.
