  • Ich kriege das Gefühl, man vergisst dass ein Chatbox nicht gleich reden unter >=4 Augen ist. Wenn mir jmd ein Grußbild oder irgendein Link schickt, und nicht reagiere, juckt mich das nicht: Das tut meine Gegenseite auch nicht wenn ich was dergleichen schicke.

    Wenn jmd von mir auf der Stelle eine Antwort möchte, soll mich besser anrufen und gut ist. Zumindest für Discord sollte man den Ton für Nachrichten abstellen, und generell für Gruppen. Das ist gut für die Seele. Wenn einer nicht einsieht, dass du deine eigenen Probleme hast und einfach nur Kopffreiheit brauchst, ist das nicht dein Problem.

    The future looks grim if that WEI thing comes to practice. But it’s my understanding that identifying the ‘undesired’ browser is done by fingerprinting? In that case you could just fake it by using JShelter, even fake the extensions you’re using. Not sure how they’re gonna fend Revanced if at all.

    Stay strong everybody











  • No. That would defeat the purpose of me installing Linux in (old) laptops. Windows feels sluggish enough with a sea of bad things wanting your minimum wage and have Windows Defender prevent it but not all of it, obviously.

    I put all my attention to prevention and set strict rules on the router. It can be as simple as setting the DNS to stuff like dnsforge.de or DIY it with PiHole with hosts lists of your hearts content that update itself weekly, I do the latter. Nothing beats a cross platform solution that protects every device in the network, if you’re after 100% performance. Of course you can still catch bad things, such as social engineering by email that happened over at Linus Tech Tips. You better stay vigilant no matter what solution you use and don’t sleep on making backups, which can be as simple and automated when you use Syncthing for example.


  • Yes… I made double sure to mention ‘encoder’ between that.

    Xiph really won the lossy codec scene with Opus and I transcoded all my junk to that format. Hitting (my personal) transparency on 128k vbr is flat out impressive and it warms my heart that corpos won’t have a reason to collect taxes for basic things like audio codec. However it’s a different story with bluetooth audio codec in which I hope will change.


  • Yes, LDAC and multipoint do not mix hence I’m looking forward to LC3plus that replaces it. To be fair it’s not a big issue to roll back to AAC or even SBC to use multipoint, because you probably aren’t gonna notice a difference when you don’t listen to high res apps like Tidal. It also should be known that a good codec does not fix mediocre drivers and/or chips. Regardless, Linux shines in letting you use a feature you did pony up for. :)
