Sure, Graphene OS tries it’s best to limit Apps, but if you don’t trust an App, you just shouldn’t run it, no matter the OS.

I still find them preferable. Less “sponsored” stuff, etc. More tags, etc. for search.

They themselves have often been criticised for potentially producing their product in occupied territory, but I don’t think there is any direct evidence they’re influencing the ebu.

The ebu themselves say there isn’t any connection between Israeli participation and the sponsorship. At the same time, a sponsor probably has some amount of influence, and the ebu might try to avoid doing something that might not jive with their main sponsor without direct pressure.

In the end, it’s all speculation, though.

That’d be nice, but they, maroccanoil, have been main sponsor for the last five years, and are confirmed to again be this year. Dunno what the chances are of that changing at this point.

Also - I’m pretty sure they had corporate sponsors 10 years ago. They aren’t shown in some countries broadcasts, but they’ve been there for some time.

If I remember correctly, it’s a European Broadcasting Union thing, and they’re in cause there used to be a British colony there.

An Israeli company has been the main sponsor the past few years.

Nice, might go back to it then.

It makes them less worthwhile. But we can definitely agree that jellyfin’s security issues are also bad, and should be fixed.

On the one hand, maybe. On the other hand, the point here was more that the centralised design of Plex that necessitates an online account which might hold some private data makes such issues much worse, not that jellyfin’s issued should not be fixed.

Maybe? Like, I’d very much prefer they fix them, even though they do not impact my use case.

I have a server on AM4 that is running fine, but the 16Gigs of ram are getting tight and I might need 32. All other aspects of the system are completely sufficient. Why should I get a new CPU and board?

Yeah, but you can run jellyfin with local accounts, entirely within a VPN. Pretty much makes most security issues irrelevant.

Probably applies to most used Laptops right now. Also, I have some thinkpad nostalgia, but the similar skus from other manufacturers will also do, though they put course have the same problem.

Generally, you of course always need to research the specific hardware. Also, my current one is on 8th gen, still does the job for now.

I’d buy a macbook, but it’s a lot more expensive than my “throw Linux on a used corporate thinkpad” approach, and I can tolerate macOS, but don’t love it. If you’re in the market for a new premium laptop, I think they’re pretty established, and I do think people are buying them.

Ampere workstations are cool, but in a price range where most customers are probably corporate, and they’ll mostly buy what they know works. I think their offerings are mostly niche for engineers who do dev work with stuff that will run on arm servers.

I’d say non-corporate arm adoption will grow when there’s more affordable new and used options from mainstream manufacturers. Most people won’t go for an expensive niche option, and probably don’t care about architecture. Most Apple machines probably sell because they’re Apple machines, not because of the chip inside.

I don’t know exact numbers, but I do feel that arm server adoption isn’t going to badly, especially with new web servers.

They also own Politico and Insider/Business Insider. Feel like too few people are aware of that.

Using a Pixel 8a with a Tensor G3, a chip that’s regularly called a bit underpowered.

My phone before that had a Snapdragon 765G, another pretty midrange SoC. I couldn’t name a single app that isn’t running perfectly fluently.

I dunno what apps you are using, but as far as I can see, there just isn’t any relevant difference in daily usage between current mid-range and flagship SoCs.

Software is what matters to me, and you couldn’t pay me to use a phone to use a phone on OneUI, with, if the current news are accurate, no more path to running anything other than the Stock Rom.

Why though? Unless you’re really into mobile gaming, I don’t see any difference in day to day usage compared to more mid-range SoCs.

It’s not just convenience - depending on how you use it, Cloudflare is also pretty good at giving an additional layer of anonymity. They assign any user of your site to the closest CDN Server geographically, so it’s is pretty hard to determine how and where your site is actually hosted. They also used to be pretty good about resisting takedown requests.

Oh well. I’d say time for a federated CDN, but the legal costs would probably be rather annoying for most volunteers.

Doesn’t seem to be a DNS block. I just set Mullvad to the UK and visited one of the pages. Mullvad does run their own dns. Still got cloudflare 451.

The error message reads like the website is using Cloudflare CDN, so Cloudflare’d be able to block any requests originating from the UK.

Cloudflare’s CDN is definitely used by a lot of torrent/piracy sites (e.g. 1337x, thepiratebay, Anna’s archive), so we’ll see what’ll come off this.

New Vector forked the matrix foundation owned projects for synapse, dendrite, and element, and pulled all their devs, changing the license and bringing them under closer control. The foundation repos are now archived, and only the new vector owned ones are being actively developed. They sell an enterprise license for their element server suite that, at least according to their copy, seems more performant, and also offers admin tools that the free version lacks.

If you want to run a public instance that allows registration, you pretty much need some kind of external admin tool for moderation.

It’s of course still better than pretty much all proprietary options, but also quite some room for improvement.
