People need to understand what this will mean from a developer perspective before getting all up in arms. This initiative is more kneejerk emotional than it is realistic.

I use Backblaze B2, but stored in an encrypted Restic container, set up using this guide:
Restic has been great for automating backups, and even letting me mount the encrypted storage to grab individual files. I like doing it this way since I don’t have to trust Backblaze isn’t reading my data - I know for sure that they can’t.
Performance of storage that is both remote and encrypted is about what you would expect, but I don’t need access to the data unless something bad happens.
Ok… sure. But what physical devices would I use, and what software would they run?
Are there any “open” solutions to mesh networking that can compare to TP-Link Omada? I don’t think any open source hardware or software can come close, especially not for the newer Wi-Fi standards.
I haven’t bought them yet, but I’m seriously thinking about some Omadas. I imagine I can prevent them from phoning home, and the management software can run locally in a Docker container. Running it like that would be good enough for me even though they’re not “open.”
I’m planning a rework of my home Wi-Fi, and my current plan is an OPNsense box from Protectli, and a few EAP772’s:

If there’s something comparable/better that’s more of an open ecosystem, you definitely have my attention while I’m shopping around for different options.
Definitely recommend Motrix:
If the Google download link supports it, it should be fairly resistant to interruptions. If it doesn’t, this might not help much, but you should still use this instead of just a browser.
I haven’t tried to download a Google takeout, so you might need to get clever with how you add the download link to it.
If you just can’t get it to work, you can try getting the browser extension to automatically send all downloads to Motrix. There is some setup required, though:

Good luck!
Everyone sees this notice, I saw it on the official desktop Firefox client. They’re just trying to reach as many people as possible.
What do you mean? RPCS3 is an excellent emulator. It’s not completely hardware accurate, almost no 3D emulator is, but it’s still pretty good.
Be aware, it’s not free as in costs $0, it’s free as a “Giveaway,” where you must accept these terms:

The guy you were replying to is saying “People hate GrapheneOS because it requires a Pixel,” they were not saying “everyone in the world should be using a Pixel” as you seem to have mistaken.
You’re getting very fired up and heated in the comments here… maybe take a break?
He did not really step down, it was just a symbolic public gesture. He’s still actively contributing to the project, check the GitHub commits and comments. He just stopped having so many Twitter meltdowns.
Before it got enshittified with an update a few years ago, I used the RealVNC Android app to connect to a few of my own VNC servers. Wasn’t interested in any of the fancy features, I just wanted a good VNC app.
Now I use AVNC. It’s solid, performs better than RealVNC used to, and it’s open source! You can get it on FDroid.
It should still work!
I only go back and make changes to LED if something breaks with a major Lemmy update, but Lemmy hasn’t had a major update since January. Lemmy v0.19.4 isn’t released yet, but when it is, I’ll make sure the deployment is up to date.
Note that it does not have any advanced features that a major instance might want, such as storing images on S3, exporting data, or image moderation. If you intend for your instance to grow for 100+ users, this isn’t for you. This is only intended for beginners who are overwhelmed by the other Lemmy hosting options, and want an easy way to host a small single-user or small-user instance.
I don’t think I’ve been banned, but I did a similar thing. I requested all my data from Reddit, then used that list of comment/post IDs to mass-edit them. I think I’m in the clear because I used the official third party API, with an official “app.” If you used the private API or instrumented this via the browser, that may be why you were banned.
Anyway, if you or someone else wants their full history, Reddit will give it to you via a data export request.
You also can’t open two spreadsheets that have the same filename. I’m sure that’s led to a helpdesk call or two.
This was the point of the protest. Reddit is all over search engine results, especially Google. If people can’t get their answers from a random Reddit search result, the Reddit listings will eventually be deprioritized in favor of other, more reliable sources.
Cloudflare Tunnels are black magic and exactly what you’re looking for:

Free, no need to self host a server somewhere externally. Can even be used for SSH!
I’m scratching my head to think what Vultr could do better in this case
There was substantial room for improvement in the way they spoke publicly about this issue. See my comment above.
I still don’t like how flippant they’ve been in every public communication. I read the ToS. It’s short for a ToS, everyone should read it. They claim it was taken “out of context,” but there wasn’t much context to take it out of. The ToS didn’t make this distinction they’re claiming, there was no separation of Vultr forum data from cloud service data. It was just a bad, poorly written ToS, plain and simple.
They haven’t taken an ounce of responsibility for that, and have instead placed the blame on “a Reddit post” (when this was being discussed in way more detail on other tech forums, Vultr even chimed in on LowEndTalk).
As for this:
Section 12.1(a) of our ToS, which was added in 2021, ends with “for purposes of providing the Services to you.” This is intended to make it clear that any rights referenced are solely for the purposes of providing the Services to you.
This means nothing. A simple “we are enhancing your user experience by mining your data and giving you a better quality service” would have covered them on this.
We only got an explanation behind the ToS ransom dialog after their CMO whined in a CRN article. That information should have been right in the dialog on the website.
In both places, they’ve actively done vague things to cause confusion, and are offended when people interpret it incorrectly.
They also don’t magically make lawyers free. No lawyer is going to bother with an EULA squabble pro bono.
Fun fact: they spent quite a while working on a segmented 3D animation system for all the sprites. Every sprite is split up into segments, and then those segments are positioned in 3D space depending on the camera angle. They can even independently move each part of a character, like a leg, without having to create an entirely new sprite just for one frame.
This is 3 years old at this point, but this should give a good idea of how the new animation system works!
