So I’m looking to disconnect myself from Google and their tracking (as much as possible) and I was thinking about installing GrapheneOS on my Pixel phone. I mostly use my phone for Lemmy, Signal, NewPipe and taking photos. The last one is my biggest bother at the moment. The Google Photos environment is so convenient - I take...
Is there a capability of having stuff on the cloud, but not locally, but they will still be accessible on the phone given the computer/server is on and that I’m online on my phone.
EDIT: See if I had a half decent computer, but with a decent storage (let’s say 1tb) and I had on all time - could I potentially use it as my own self hosted cloud?
Ooooooo I like the sound of this. What’s the community’s opinion on them when it comes to privacy? I don’t mind paying a monthly fee if it’s all taken care for me.
So if I understand correctly, Synology DSM is operating system that can be installed on any NAS drive? Or do you have to first buy their enclosure to use it? I found a used Synology enclosure with 2tb disk for $200 and I’m wondering if I should get it. Is stuff like Synology Moments (which is presume is just an app on the DSM system) free or is it extra?
Thank you for taking your time to answer my questions!
Is there any benefits of buying directly from them? I think I would get a single bay enclosure and 4tb disk (I should be able to close in a $200$250 range).
It probably wouldn’t be just me using it though - I would probably include my partner in it. Is it possible to have separate accounts for Drive and Moments so our photos/files wouldn’t overlap?
EDIT: Have you used the self hosted email functionality? Can you recommend it over let’s say Proton Mail?
It could possibly work as a community where only the moderators could post and all the submission would be driven through them, crediting the original author?
Don’t be fooled by the propaganda, the tenement blocks you are referring to as “ghettos” are standing to this day, and they indeed, are comfortable. My partner’s family lives in one. Since the abolishment of the soviet block, these were brought into half public half private domain. So you can just go and buy a flat in one. It’s a lot cheaper than a freestanding house/flat in the city centre, but they remain in decent standards (at least some of them).
I’m not saying that everything is peachy in the Eastern Europe - quite the opposite. There is a lot of socio-political stuff I 100% don’t agree with, economics are not in the best shape either. But given all this, I’m still glad I grew up there, rather in a place where I have to worry if I break my leg, will I be able to afford to go to hospital. Medical care and most of the necessary meds are free or subsidised so they are easily affordable. I don’t have to worry about gun violence, because guns are mostly contained to the criminal underworld and they keep it that way. Because of that, the police force doesn’t have to wear guns on the streets and they know how to defuse a situation without using lethal force. I went to college and got a degree, without worrying that I will have to pay off some exorbitant debt.
Best part is, country where I live and studied is not even my birthplace nor am I a citizen of this country. But still, free medical care and free education applies to me - beauty of the European Union.
When I say free, I obviously meant “at no extra cost”. So doesn’t matter if you are working, if you are a foreigner or any other situation - you need help, you receive it. No questions asked, no worries about the cost - people come together and everybody chip in.
Regarding the gun violence, USA is a big country. I know that thefts and rape are an issue in the area I stay - I never experienced it first handedly though. It doesn’t mean it’s not an existing problem.
But, not to drag this forever, it seems we both happy in the places we live in. Both have their good and bad sides, so let’s just agree to disagree :D
In my experience, old age only amplifies person’s traits - if you were nice, you are going to be extra nice because of all the stress leaving your day to day. If you were a cunt, you are going to be extra cunty because now you will be blaming people left and right for all the errors in your life. That’s my experience though.
It’s not app specific - that’s just how the Lemmy code works at the moment.
For this specific reason, Lemmy integrated search feature is fundamentally broken at the moment, so you should be using lemmyverse.net
When I first joined my instance I couldn’t see any Xbox communities so I created one. It got a little following, but then I found out there were already two communities literally called Xbox but no one from my instance joined before, so I couldn’t see them.
I keep reading that former users of reddit are scrubbing their old accounts out of spite. So I wanted to know- What is it? Why are people doing it? Does it actually hurt reddit? What are some good bots that will do it for you?
So I think I have a basic grip on this conflict, the modern times at least, it’s basically a back and fro attacks of Israel and Palestine military, about who the territory of Gaza Strip and West Bank....
Sure, so the Palestinians, not matter if they are suited to rule this land, but they are the native people on it? Meaning, they were living there before Israelis were relocated there?
I’m just trying to put in perspective, if a whole nation would be moved onto my homeland, and from now on it wouldn’t be my homeland, but theirs. Is that how it worked?
Not a hot take at all, my friend. 100% agree with this. You will have white Americans claiming it’s their land and refuse entry to Mexicans, but if you go back couple of hundreds years ago, they were the “aliens”/immigrants. Same in Australia or Canada and many other places. No matter who claims the land right now, you can go back in history and find out they are not the actual natives.

I wouldn’t agree with it but it’s definitely an unpopular opinion :D
To some extent, it might be the case that he is a little overhyped - but I would argue any artist that is so popular, is in danger of being overhyped. I only read “Romeo and Juliet” and “Hamlet” from his work, and I can appreciate his workshop - it’s really good stuff that survived for many years and remained valid.
But to each their own - art is meant to serve you - if you don’t like it, move on and try something different. Definitely better way of going on about things rather than sticking to it, and pretending to like it in fear of being laughed at for a simple reason of sticking out of the crowd.
Wow didn’t know that - do you have a source for this?
Some words I can easily imagine replacing with synonyms, but how were people describing stuff like “exposure” or “suspicious” before Shakespeare, I’m dumbfounded :D
I wanted to try a japanese dish called tamago kake gohan, it’s basically raw eggs mixed with rice. The problem is that I’m scared to get salmonella from it. Do you guys think it’s safe to eat them? I’m currently living in Brazil. Also, I saw this article telling that the brand I buy my eggs from is exporting to Japan,...
Last time I researched this, I came to the following conclusions:
Salmonella lives on/in the hard shell part of an egg (not penetrating it) so unless you consume the shell, you should be fine
If an egg has a lion stamp on it (UK only I think) it means that the farm it came from is certified not to have salmonella
I ate raw eggs (including shell) on many occasion (not really a party trick but I like to shock people every now and then :D) and never have I ever encountered any unpleasantries because of this (apart from them tasking like runny boogers).
DON’T do what I’ve done a couple of weeks ago - landed me my first HR meeting ever :D
I had to use my coworkers (lady around 50, not too clever with the computers) computer on remote desktop. As I was about to close it, I thought to myself “Perfect setup for a joke”. On her computer, I went to pranx.com/hacker/ and put in on full screen. Literally like 30s later, our IT guy (he’s in the same room as me) get a phone call and all I can hear is shouting in the earpiece. I say to him don’t worry, I know what’s this about, I’m going to sort it out. I went downstairs and boss’s wife is running past shouting that we need to phone the police, I walk into the lady’s room and she’s hysteric. I say cool down, it’s a joke.
Safe to say, they were not laughing (probably the fact that I still was, wasn’t helping my case :D)
Recently, I moved to the UK due to the war in Ukraine and have noticed that people here struggle to spell my name correctly. As a result, I would like to ask for suggestions on alternative versions of the name Vitalii that are easier to pronounce. Thank you in advance for your replies.
