No, it's just load management. They run a full matrix home server for all their users and a bunch of bridges.

I'm not sure I understand. Your relatives can remember to buy Apple but not Samsung? Also, Samsung offers lower end phones with lesser but still good update policies. They're good phones but a lot cheaper than any iPhone, which sh

Just buy Samsung or pixel. 7 years of updates guaranteed.

The old terms lock you into the App Store, no?

App passwords still work. There's no need to be hyperbolic.

Note that there are tools to restore the win10 taskbar in 11. I use startisback, but there are more. Also be sure to use a privacy tweaker!

Please excuse me while I become 'that guy', but Proton is a distribution of Wine with a bunch of patches and extra components like DXVK. The vast majority of proton is unmodified wine.

Valve offers a generous refund policy. If the game doesn't work on your system, refund it.

Okay, so perhaps 'all' was a little optimistic. Spark is the old government monopoly, once called 'Telecom'. As such, they have inherited a huge base of users who don't pay any attention to which ISP they are using,

That may be true where you live, but down here in NZ, unlimited means unlimited (on fibre). Our competitive ISP market means that all major ISPs have completely ditched their fair usage policies. I regularly use well over 10TB a month and h

As the article says, this is basically an RDP client, along with cloud PCs presumably hosted in Azure, so yes.

Nope. Draconian DRM is still standard.

It's probably being blocked by your DNS-adblocker.

Presumably because, as the addon name suggests, it is a 'lite' blocker. Declarative network blocking is much more efficient than script injections, so that is used exclusively. If you want cosmetic filtering, the original uBO is a

This new addon can't do any cosmetic filtering. It doesn't run any code on the page, only declares filters for network requests.

GitHub has no modern IP support, so a system without a legacy IP is unable to pull anything from GitHub.

Only on legacy IP. We're trying to kill it. A bit of pain will be necessary to finally get modern IP across the line of mainstream usage.

Hmm, I just tried the Bubbles preview on Win11, and it worked fine. Is it different when it's running 'for real'?

The patch is totally open source, and the project is rather high profile. Where exactly is the additional risk here? From a security standpoint, What's the difference between using revanced's open source patches and downloading li

by ripdog 3y ago
Revanced is just an app with no special permission. It's not a firmware. It's open source. It can only patch an apk which you provide to it with standard android file-picker APIs.

As always, a note needs to be attached to this link. Money donated to the Mozilla foundation goes exclusively to their advocacy work, and none goes to the Mozilla corporation, which develops Firefox.

Tailscale internally tries to punch NATs to make connections, but if it fails, it will use relay servers. These connections are throttled, and there'd probably be usage limits at some point. If you allow tailscale through by using ipv6

42% of the internet uses v6, and rising. The economic incentives for ISPs absolutely exist, as v4 addresses become ever more expensive and the cost of CG-NAT deployments continue to climb.

In that situation, don't connect to your pi hole using its GUA (global address, starting with 2), connect with it's ULA (link-local address, starting with f). Link local addresses are not routed outside your LAN, so they don'

Thank you, Matthew! This would be fantastic information to include in the Synapse documentation, for those of us being seduced by the operational simplicity of SQLite, and posts like this. :)

I have wondered why Synapse, the most feature-complete Matrix homeserver, so vehemently recommends against use of SQLite as it's backing db. They say that the performance is insufficient and it's only appropiate for testing purpos
