Whatsapp has begun working on support for third party chats (Telegram/Signal) (wabetainfo.com)

The European Union has recently reached an agreement on a significant competition reform known as the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which will impose strict rules on large tech companies that will have to offer users the ability to communicate with each other using different apps. WhatsApp is one of the companies that will be...

bamboo,

How about starting with the company who says you have to buy their phone to use their messenger. If Apple isn’t eventually considered a gatekeeper, then this is a joke.

A pi-hole simply black holes DNS lookups from known advertising networks and malicious domains, so your computer is unable to connect to those domains. This is good because you probably want to block those domains, but it doesn’t protect against everything. Adblocking in browser using uBlock Origin will achieve similar results, but only applies to the browser, not other applications on your computer, or say your phone or IoT device on the same network, which does DNS lookups via pi-hole. Both pi-hole and uBlock Origin do not provide any protection from hiding your real IP or your location. This is where a VPN comes in.

Personally, at the router, I black hole a minimal set of hosts from lists I know I will never want anything connecting to. For example, you could use one of the OISD lists: https://oisd.nl/. Then in your browser, you can add uBlock Origin and add more lists which you can selectively allow on websites. uBlock Origin has lists which block against internet annoyances, which pi-hole can’t block against (since it’s blocking DOM objects, and not DNS lookups). This is also useful because it’s easier to control uBlock Origin in the browser, and you can disable it for only some sites. Adding a VPN in addition to this satisfies IP and location hiding, which you can add on the whole router if it supports that, or just your computer/browser if you want.

I don’t think so, since the pi-hole (running on a raspberry pi or other computer) just acts as a DNS server which you configure as the DNS to be assigned to clients as they connect to the router.

If you’re not able to configure a VPN on the router, then setting up a VPN on the computer you’re using, not the raspberry pi, is the only option. This would only mask your computer’s IP address. This would need to be repeated on your phone and other devices as well.

I’m not sure why this is being posted as if it’s news, this is from July 2018.

The judges wrote that the FBI’s activities were “not limited to purely foreign threats," citing instances where the law enforcement agency “targeted” posts that originated inside the United States, including some that stated incorrect poll hours or mail-in voting procedures.

What does foreign threats have to do with this. The FBI deals with domestic terrorists. Does this not fall within the FBI’s jurisdiction as well?

.ca is the TLD for Canada, so they are obligated to apologize

You’re right, I’m so very sorry

I would love to be one of the jurors. 4 months is way better than 4 more years of Trump.

I just want to say that I'm so happy that people are taking notice of privacy concerns in cars

Mozilla released their studies, and I’m seeing a growing number of posts on the Internet about cars and the privacy nightmare they entail. I remember how this issue wasn’t talked about earlier because “just buy an older car” was still prevalent. I’m so happy that people are taking notice. Thank you to this community...

The S in IoT stands for Security

What do you mean about that?

Linux clipboard app which has functionality to paste multiple things after copying them in one go.

Edit: Everything seems too complicated, so I just went with this odysee.com/simplescreenrecorder-2023-09-03_11.02.…When you try to copy something, you copy something and then you paste it. This is fine, but I wish there was an app which would help me copy multiple items at different times and seamlessly help me paste it....

bamboo,

If you use Gnome, this is pretty handy: extensions.gnome.org/…/clipboard-indicator/

How does Meta/Facebook get access to IP Address information of the user. Is that public in ActivityPub spec?

FTA it says they’re using it in response to complaints, which is probably how they’re getting around the 4th amendment and considering the complaint of a large gathering “probable cause”. I’d bet my bottom dollar that only complaints in predominantly minority communities will actually be investigated with drones, based on NYPD practices. Just more to add to !thepoliceproblem

bamboo,

I hope people share the positive hits of CSAM and see how widespread the problem is…

It sounds like you’re encouraging people to share CSAM images found, which is obviously not the intent of this tool. There’s probably a better way to phrase what you were trying to say.

bamboo,

I assumed as much after reading it several times, but just wanted let you know and point out that statement could be misconstrued. Thanks for clarifying!

bamboo,

You list great points of information that should be shared to admins of other instances. Thanks for clarifying.

Finally YouTube themselves get to feel what it’s like to be on the receiving end of bogus copyright claims

bamboo,

I had ExpressPay before OMNY and that also had a list of every transaction in the website where you had to refill your card. Ever since they came out with the MetroCard, I assume there was a shadow profile per card and that was linked to the credit card number on file if that was the method the card was purchased by.

Personally, I value the transactions list, since it makes it easier to verify I was billed properly and got the free transfer or the 13th ride free. I’ve not had to dispute anything yet but I imagine it’ll be easier to bring up any issues with customer service over the phone after the fact, than the station agent.

There’s always the dedicated OMNY cards you can buy from stores, although I’m not sure if it’s possible to refill with cash directly somehow. For the most privacy focused, it’s good this option exists, and at least maintains most of the privacy as the MetroCards used to.

To shreds you say? How are the investors holding up?

“will not serve anyone armed and in uniform”

Should this be an “or” statement? Showing up naked with a gun would pass this logic.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

What film, show or game that is not necessarily 'underated' didn't have the level of social impact it deserved.

What’s the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have ‘found their audience’ but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.

bamboo,

If you’ve only seen it once, I’d recommend a rewatch. I feel like subsequent viewings just get better.

I had a health care provider tell me that they couldn’t create an account in their portal because they already had someone with my exact name and DOB. They refused to accept that they had bad data in their system, but they did tell me the email address on file (probably a HIPPA violation right there) and I was tempted to reach out to see if there actually existed someone with my same DOB and First/Last name.

bamboo,

I just rewatched the ending to rebels after episode 2 of Ahsoka to compare the shot of Sabine reuniting. I forgot Ahsoka had that stalf but do kinda wish she had that Gandalf energy in the live action version.

bamboo,

Honestly I think it’d be great if they introduced a new character rather than yet someone else being resurrected and coming back from the dead. That being said, I did see a theory which would be interesting:

theory___ The masked inquisitor is Barriss Offee, who framed Ahsoka for bombing the Jedi temple, which caused her to leave the Jedi order.

bamboo,

Haha that’s so strange. Glad to see her getting out of being typecast.

Meta discontinues Messenger Lite for Android, it will be unavailable after Sep 18. Users need to install regular Messenger app instead (beehaw.org)

I have not found any news article on this on a whim. Because my friends and family, I need to use Facebook Messenger, and Messenger Lite was a OK client - lightweight, no unnecessary features, etc., compared to the regular Messenger app....

USB Type B DOM:

bamboo,

Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Yeah, this comic treats the male/female connectors as dom/sub, which obviously isn’t always the case. You have a good idea for a variation of this with USB C being verse, USB A <-> USB B being cis straight boomers, etc. Would make for a good edit

Inflation is actually going down, and the latest report was at 3.2% which is a lot less than it was a year ago and closer to the 2% target.

The FAQ covers this:

  1. If I want to build a product that is competitive with HashiCorp, does that mean I’m now prevented from using any HashiCorp tools under the BSL license?

No. The BSL license does not prevent developers from using our tools to build competing products. For example, if someone built a product competitive with Vault, it would be permissible to deploy that product with Terraform. Similarly, if someone built a competitive product to Terraform, they could use Vault to secure it. What the BSL license would not allow is hosting or embedding Terraform in order to compete with Terraform, or hosting or embedding Vault to compete with Vault.

So if you are selling a product and HashiCorp releases a product which competes with yours, you can still use Valut, Terraform, etc the way you had been. I can’t see a way for your senario to play out based on their FAQ.

My first thoughts exactly

This is fantastic!

I used to use it on Stadia games, RIP. Bought Cyberpunk for only $15 on release day.

Game of Thrones was nearly "destroyed" by pirates illegally streaming HBO content (www.forevergeek.com)

At first this article reads like your typical anti-piracy screed. It rants about how 10x more people watched GoT illegally (confusing them with lost sales) and ends with how downloading movies can get your credit card stolen....

I assume there’s an old Japanese proverb for everything, and they are only used when you don’t want to do something, but is a more polite way than just saying “No” or “I’m not fixing that”
