Something like memetastic? https://github.com/gsantner/memetastic

That’s still a single point of failure. What happens if someone finds an exploit that bypasses the login process entirely?

I read this as someone bypassing the GitHub login entirely. Good luck 2FAing your way out of that one! 😜

I believe you can do this with DAVx5. I have calendars syncing to fossify with it.

I feel like the comment was sarcastic. At least, that’s how I read it in my head.

Last time I used Authy, you had to sync codes to another device, IIRC. Still, most peoples’ phones have a lot more than just auth codes on them. My warning was meant to address all those other data, too.

But now that I think about it, wiping and rooting a fresh/temporary device, syncing Authy, exporting with Aegis, then importing back to your main device would work…

If you have a rooted phone, Aegis can import from several other apps, including Authy, automatically.

But don’t try to root your unrooted phone to unlock that capability. Rooting requires wiping the device, so you lose your data in the process.

Yes. And some states (e.g. Washington) already have.

Some people just prefer to care for their little digital dolphin in peace.

Isn’t that called a co-op? I hear those tend to do well.

The current trajectory of AI produced media is pointing toward personalized content. Every viewer would have their own exclusive shows and movies. This sounds great on the surface, but is actually mostly terrible.

Media today brings people together, by watching movies together or discussing the latest episode of a new series. With personalized content, not only will none of your friends have seen the show you’re watching, but they won’t even be able to see it; it lives only in your account on some proprietary streaming service and might even have been generated on-the-fly, never to be seen again.

Additionally, you can be certain that any company producing AI-generated content will put their own biases into it as much as possible. When streaming services push out competition in favor of in-house generated content, viewers will only have access to content skewed one way, further polarizing people based on which service they watch. With personalized content, those biases become much harder to scrutinize, because no two people can watch the same piece of content to compare opinions or analysis.

Finally, if you step back and consider the purpose of watching video content, it’s mostly for entertainment. A moderate amount of varied entertainment can be healthy to unwind or pass the time, but an infinite source of “perfect” content encourages unhealthy media habits like binge-watching, and is unlikely to challenge the viewer’s beliefs or support their mental health. Distress drives engagement, as social media has proven.

Once studios can produce fully AI generated movies, personalized media won’t be far behind. Cheap AI generated personalized media is coming. If it takes hold, it’ll push us all further apart.

I hope none of these predictions come to pass, but we’ll see whether good intentions win over money this time.

In Opera Mini, yes. They also had a less popular but nearly identical browser, Opera Mobile, which didn’t do the proxying and compression. I had an unlimited data plan back then, so I always used Mobile. The performance was great even without compression.

Unless you also employ very strict sandboxing, a rogue app or script could read those emails from your running system while LUKS is unlocked. There are plenty of CVEs relating to code execution; an infected JPEG, browser exploit, or any number of other things could expose your Thunderbird email database or the running memory to an attacker, particularly if you use “secure” services like Proton because you’re the kind of person who would be targeted by state actors.

Firefox can even have different accounts in different tabs with the official containers extension.

Firefox does have profiles that you can use simultaneously, but you’ll either have to start it with the --ProfileManager command line option or install something like Profile Switcher to access them.

Neither. ICE reaches its best efficiency at higher speeds than EV does, but it is still less efficient than EV at all speeds.

Most of the formats served by YouTube are already chunked, which means they can easily insert different chunks of video (ads, etc) at various points in the stream by changing the manifest. This is trivial, computationally. The complexity lies in building the mechanisms to make it work.
The non-chunked formats are only used by older devices, and are lower quality. Those would require re-encoding to change, but few users see them anyway, and those users probably don’t adblock.

I think the reference was to IE4 for Windows 95 and 98, which did in fact run the desktop and file manager functions with IE to enable web functionality. You could type a URL into the file manager path bar and use it as a web browser or use a web page as your desktop, IIRC.

20mbits at bottom tier would be fine, but there are currently top tier cable plans, 1gbps down and still only 10mbps up. Upload speed needs to scale at least proportionallly, if not symmetrically.
