Hell nah this is a Linux community, it’s always the right place

Probably: “oh we already have a -r for xxx, let’s do recursion with -R”

I’m curious; wouldn’t tail refuse to open /dev/zero since it can’t fseek in it ?

The closest that comes to mind are QSFP cables.

I’ve never had ads in Sync for Lemmy, never paid a dime either. Started seeing a couple of ads since the last update.

I used to have the same issue. Turns out, it was fixed by a firmware update on my motherboard.

I believe in the States it’s considered a federal crime to throw someone else’s mail away. It’s probably a crime in other countries too.

Your Mileage May Vary

I have one of those, it won’t work with my Linux though :/

Hmmm I don’t really know. You can try with this tutorial I found.

The way I did it, is I checked my motherboard’s website, and saw they posted a recent firmware update.

I used to have some similar issues when playing games, and the cause of it was my motherboard’s firmware. Maybe check and see if it is up to date?

Yes, and it makes sense that it would, and I’d happily give such data to developers I trust to make the programs I love better.

However, that same click data (maybe with some how-long-have-you-looked-at-this data) can definitely be used to target ads at me, which in my book is not okay. And as I said in my comment before, it’s really difficult (at least for me) to trust companies.

To me, telemetry would be like a sofa company wanting to put some cameras in your home to see if you’re using the sofa the way they thought you would. It just feels… off.

“90% of crashes happen right after the player uses a grenade”.

Imo, a simple opt-in crash report gets the job done. Technically it is telemetry, but a crash report is more justified than a “where have you clicked” report.

telemetry data for software from reputable companies does not get sold

There’s just no trust in companies to not sell my data. I cannot trust Microsoft nor Google nor any other company to not sell my data, having seen the shenanigans every single company is willing to pull off to get a cent more a year.

this seems like applying the same rules to everyone equally

Though it can seem fair, applying the same rules to everyone equally can be very racist.

From what I understand, Cloudflare can block some DDoS attacks, but not all of them.

The attacks on Lemmy have to do with poorly optimized SQL requests; these are requests that shouldn’t take long to execute, but do due to some oversight. By spamming these requests, the attackers can bring Lemmy on it’s knees.

Actually, wouldn’t this attack better be categorized as a DoS attack ? What’s so distributed about it ?

Your link (or at least what I’ve read from it) doesn’t cover why it would be bad to make the ocean saltier; it only talks about the rise of the salty ocean water.

I think it’ll come with time. As Lemmy (the software) and its userbase matures, the situation will be better for smaller communities.
