Technology@beehaw.org•VPNs Can’t Make You Anonymous Online. Don’t Be Fooled by Anyone Who Says They CanEnglish
4·5 months agoOh I see thank you for the explanation. I missed that the university network was called a VPN.

Technology@beehaw.org•VPNs Can’t Make You Anonymous Online. Don’t Be Fooled by Anyone Who Says They CanEnglish
4·5 months agoThis may sound dumb, but wouldn’t it appear to anyone listening between the client and VPN as though all traffic is coming from the VPN and not the website? Isn’t that the point of a VPN?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Curious about the relationship between Red Hat and FedoraEnglish
1·5 months agoThe highly abridged version is that Red Hat pays for and helps with developing Fedora and makes their money from providing support to companies that use it.
If they stopped supporting Fedora (would kind of kill their business model but let’s pretend) anyone could “fork” it and continue working on their own version just like other distros.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Should I subscribe to a data removal service (DeleteMe, Incogni, etc.)?English
12·5 months agoThey pretty much just remove you from all those different people finder websites. Not the data brokers that Meta (etc) sell to/from.
It’s still beneficial if you can afford it, but more likely to protect you from targeted scams or stalkers etc.

Linux@lemmy.ml•KDE Plasma 6.6 now available | AuroraEnglish
3·5 months agoSo I actually ended up trying it out, and DistroShelf, Tailscale, OpenRazer and Solaar were not preinstalled. Not sure if I missed an option or not during install but I don’t think so 🤔
Bazarr is also on default Kinoite. So it seems the differences are relatively minor. Which is not a bad thing. Kinoite is one of the best out there IMO.

Meshtastic@mander.xyz•Best option for low cost reliable solar nodeEnglish
2·5 months agoI have been curious about this too. Something like a thinknode looks like a simple solution.
Mint is actually based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian.

Linux@lemmy.ml•How to get into linux and stay with linux?English
1·5 months agoIf you want something you don’t have to fuss over, that’s very stable (but also gets frequent updates), and “just works” with most games? Bazzite is your answer.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•As a Turkish citizen, I cannot stand this. Wake up! Turn to FOSS and Decentralized applications. The new pandemic is "identity verification" and every country is about to fall into this trap.English
22·5 months agoI think there is value in the concept of a government-operated “social media” website that’s open for public comment on laws, policies, etc, and requires proof of occupancy in order to participate.
But government “identity verification” to participate on the internet at large is tyranny.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•"i am shocked at how many people don't have an actively hostile relationship with advertising"English
1·5 months agoYeah good points there, and I certainly didn’t mean to imply ads were historically better on the whole. Ads from a a century ago also featured a significantly greater amount of flat out lying about their products, especially when it came to medicines and “tonics”.
But even if we accept that their honesty has improved (dubious) I do think advertising today has become more intrusive, and the function of advertising is today is more about disrupting our focus than it ever has been.
