lemmy world is hosted in Finland. the owner, ruud, is in the Netherlands

seems like a fire hazard no?

downvoted by the microsoft bots tbh, windows defender will enable itself whenever it feels like it

if you host that instance on your own ip, yeah.

you’ll be fine when using a VPN, just make sure it doesn’t leak. in qbittorent you can assign the network interface directly to the VPN.

or get a seedbox

Jellyfin’s sync play is not stable at all in my experience. very much not recommended for non technical people.

i knew it!

can anyone confirm this tho? havent found anything out of the ordinary with the only 2 releases on 1337x (.to that is)

using a free VoIP number isn’t an option cause the moment you remove it discord with boot you off again, and keeping it is a huge security risk.

if you’re a new discord account it’s (in my experience) not possible to go without a verified phone number, their system is too sensitive

I don’t get it tho, if a in your eyes good person wrote Lemmy what differences does it make? are the current devs pushing their agenda in the code or whatever? it’s literally all open source

(network wise) it isn’t about number of active torrents but the amount of active connections you have in total, which is very dependent on your router, isp, vpn. but usually if they aren’t shit, and especially on a private tracker you’ll run into other bottlenecks like bandwidth, io, or whatever

what’s wrong with AA batteries tho? easily swappable, hot spares, rechargable, interchangable with other devices

yes, when adding the torrent in your client, save it to the same place and run a recheck. it’ll see what’s missing and download it

the thing with chromium being everywhere is with the illusion of choice. there’s like 10 major browsers, as a end-user who doesn’t really know any better they might all seem different but in reality theyrall based on chromium, with Firefox being the exception

It all just depends on how much you trust the app, and how you’ve set up things when it does go wrong. Not every container needs to be able to access other containers on the system, lan, have access to whatever folder, read/write permissions, etc

A good practice for things like vaultwarden would be to only whitelist the country/state you’re in to minimize your attack profile

fail2ban or crowdsec can also help with all the rats sniffing around

alternative (superior) open source extension: https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic

wefwef changing its name caused a rupture in the earth’s crust

afaik, exploit does not pass through federation. but you should change your password just in case.

it doesn’t and probably cannot infect your device

why

i did say the civilized world :)
