How many of you use Usenet VS torrents in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 31 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (12 children)

Usenet as daily driver works 99% of the time. Only use VPN/torrents for extremely new or very obscure shows. $5/month pays for unlimited Usenet and VPN.

That's an unwinnable campaign - there is no escape from Flavor Town.

Have anyone tried Tailscale as a Hamachi alternative? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When Hamachi became unusable I switched to Tailscale to connect my phone, my laptop, and all my local PCs together. It just works, flawlessly. There are more features they offer like Exit Nodes (proxy servers to force Internet traffic through another PC on your Tailscale Network) and sharing your tailnet nodes with another Tailscale user on a separate tailnet, but realistically I just use it like I used Hamachi - as a dead-easy VPN between all my personal devices.

YSK: Lemmy has 53k monthly active users but only 1172 have ever donated in c/[email protected]

I'm assuming 1172 is a count of donations to official mainstream servers. I have definitely contributed to my local server.

Good thing Naval warships don't have windows you can fall out of. Railings on the other hand....

Youtube has better anti-adblock now. Other than Invidious, any way around it? Purging and re-dowloading the ublock stuff didn't work in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 111 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I use FireFox + uBlock Origin, and never see ads. I did have to disable my other adblock/privacy extensions (DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, PrivacyBadger, and Ghostery) for YouTube before its anti-adblock stopped complaining, but FF+uBO seems to work just fine with default filters enabled.

FCC votes to ban termination fees for cable and satellite services in c/[email protected]

I'm in favor of this, but how did it pass when "two out of four commissioners voted against the measure"?

Ad blocker uninstall rises due to YouTube ban in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

uBlock Origin has kept their filters up-to-date for me. Still no ads, and no blocks from YouTube, since day 1. I did disable my other privacy extensions like Privacy Badger and Ghostery on YouTube to stay on their "good" side however.

Staying home might be enough though, no?

City of Eugene moves forward on safety improvements at downtown railroad crossings (kval.com)
 

"In addition to improving safety at the 10 intersections where car, bike and pedestrian traffic crosses railroad tracks, the upgrades will allow train operators to forgo blowing the train horn when approaching the crossings, potentially resulting in a 70% decrease in the train horn noise in Eugene. Trains still will use short horn blasts around the switching yard and the Eugene Depot and have the discretion to sound the horn in emergency situations."

Microsoft to Drop Support for Third-Party Printer Drivers on Windows (petri.com)
 

“With the release of Windows 10 21H2, Windows offers inbox support for Mopria compliant printer devices over network and USB interfaces via the Microsoft IPP Class Driver. This removes the need for print device manufacturers to provide their own installers, drivers, utilities, and so on.  Device experience customization is now available via the Print Support Apps that are distributed and automatically installed via the Windows Store,” the company wrote.
