I'll happily recommend https://syncthing.net/ , it's open source, end to end encrypted, and peer to peer (your machines send files directly to each other).

Why couldn't they do DPI and block the protocol?

I'm fairly certain it is deeply connected to Russia. People believe it's encrypted but it's not for group chats or default for direct chats. They have money when Telegram is expensive to run, not to mention they can easily th

Because that hardware is $300-$500 and not portable. Most controllers are wired-in because they snap to the phone, like the Razer Kishi. Probable using Airpods or other earbuds. Since the processing isn't happening on the phone, it do

For developing markets playing through a controller attached to their phone, its pretty killer. Especially if they get cell providers to bundle in the service with an unlimited plan or as a trial offer. You need to think of Cloud as the mas

To be fair, you need a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia and it may have happened anyway, just triggered early by cannabis.

GNOME these days is pretty great. Quick tap of the super key and then type to launch something. Super left, right, or up arrow to snap to the side or maximize. Ctrl-alt left/right to switch workspaces. Doing that while holding shift wi

It's not so much cost as in I only bring the car in annually for a cabin air filter, tire rotation, wipers, inspection sticker, etc. Since most of the braking is regenerative the brake pads are essentially unused.

I'd say that it's more like 99%. The vast majority of my time with the car I'm driving around the Boston metro area, where it's an objectively superior experience. The three days a year I'm making a long road trip (

As an early adopter, the benefit of less maintenance, home "refueling", and the fact that an EV is more fun to drive offsets the hassle. We've done a few road trips in it, and while road trip charging is annoying (we have a V

I had a 30amp circuit for my EV run on my 100 amp panel, older house (1928). Granted we had the space for it, we're just not using that much electricity. The install was around $500 and I could write it off on my MA taxes. If I upgrade

I really think most Ubuntu users should give Fedora a spin. It's really polished, Red Hat has no interest in pushing proprietary nonsense (Flatpaks, if you choose to use them, are decentralized), the immutable system work in Silverblue

I really think Fedora has caught up in this regard. The only real visual difference between the two at this point is the dock.

Flatpaks support this through XDG Portals, and Flatpaks are cross-distribution. They aren't the native build artifact of most applications though, and are packaged by the community.

And then you go into the Linux world where fractional scaling doesn't work properly yet, your XWayland apps interact differently than your Wayland apps, Chrome doesn't support hardware accelerated video decoding, and using Nvidia

I think the case of "it depends" mattered more in the days of shared webhosts and basic PHP sites when the relatively lightweight MySQL made more sense. These days, not only is PostgreSQL designed better and has more features (our

For input response, 8.3ms (60hz) but many people will play on 120 or 144hz displays for an even faster response time of 3 or 4ms.

If you compare the Valorant and CS:GO communities, the Valorant community has a much easier time onboarding people and a much smaller cheating problem. That's all because of Vanguard, their much more intrusive anti-cheat that uses an e

It was done by Signal themselves: https://signal.org/blog/whatsapp-complete/ The client is closed so it can't be independently verified outside of sniffing traffic or decompilation I assume.

Whatsapp has been fully e2e for years, maybe since 2016? It uses the Signal protocol.

Good. It's clear now that Twitter is just an information control mechanism for Musk, and journalists should quit their addiction to it. I think every major news outlet should have their own ActivityPub compatible service, essentially a

Brownsberger is my state senator and he's actually pretty great, he works on things his constituents care about and I've seen him on public transit a number of times. My only real critique of him is that he had too much faith in t

I've had something similar happen. For devices that don't have or can't access GPS, they look the MAC address of nearby wifi base stations and see if anything correlated that with a location earlier. This is what the iphone d

I think that's because our winters are brutal. Homeless people would rather live in a milder climate or a place like New York with a better public transportation system.

Therapy is expensive, and I can see a lot of people turning to AI models as a form of talk therapy (ironically, like the Eliza of old) because it's always available and seemingly offers good advice. But when you have someone in a bad m

Silverblue tracks Fedora releases, the only difference is that you're using ostree deployments which keeps "bit rot" at bay. For the unaware, ostree treats your root filesystem somewhat like a git repo, and you add/remov

No, users don't do it. The application developers do it in their CI pipelines. Application developers should be the ones building and testing the app, not distro maintainers responsible for a dozen other applications.
