TerraMaster F4-423 and then replace the internal USB drive with a fresh one and install OpenMediaVault or TrueNas or whatever.
I’m using News Explorer on all my Apple devices. It syncs my feeds and the read/unread states. And even supports a separate view for comments for many blogs.

My home folders on any OS have a
Developmentfolder (which conveniently sits right next toDocumentsandDownloads) and in that folder, I’ve also got subfolders per programming language that have the respective projects in them.The other folder I usually have is
SyncThingwith whatever synced folders are relevant for that machine.

I remember some list of ca. 50 Reddit accounts which you were supposed to block to get a better Reddit experience. I guess at a specific size of userbase, there are always some people that will start to game the system.

I usually boot the System-Rescue CD (can also boot from USB) and use GPartEd to resize partitions.

What external storage are you using? Is it the same that worked so flawlessly on your PS5?
Because I’ve recently bought some M.2 SSD enclosures with a Realtek RTL9210B chip and those seem to be buggy in that the enclosure goes offline for a few seconds after some random time (hours to days).
And I only noticed it because of random disconnect notifications about the one I use for Time Machine.

John List, a professor at the University of Chicago, recruited 6,000 participants for a study. With permission, he installed tracking software on their phones. And then he made them an offer: for every hour that the participant did not use Facebook or Instagram, he would pay them $4. (Participants only had to give up one app; the Facebook holdout group was allowed to use Instagram and vice versa.)
Initial results:
Facebook→ YouTube, Instagram, TikTok
Instagram→ YouTube, Facebook, TikTokCorrected for time spent on platforms:
Facebook→ Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat

That old laptop’s CPU and TPM are “not supported” by Win11. And also, Win10 already didn’t run that smoothly on it - so, I didn’t even try to hack Win11 onto it.
Read my text again. This is my only Windows laptop - and it needs to be actual Windows for all the obscure firmware update tools of some devices I have flying around.
Everything else in my household is either Linux or MacOS.
I took the opportunity to “downgrade” to Windows 7. My old HP laptop (which is specifically for a few specialty Windows-only apps) feels double as fast now compared to Windows 10 before. And with the help of LegacyUpdates.net and VxKex-NEXT (provides the very few Windows 10 API calls so you can even run most Win10-only apps on Win7) you get a pretty nice and lean system.

Open-source Mbrowser 52.2, packed with security features
Does anyone know where to find this?
EDIT: All I can find are the user agent strings which indicate that this might be some IBM product. Also, there’s
rv:52.0in the environment part, butIBM Mbrowser/60.5.1in the engines part - so the actual version of the browser component might be 60.5.1 in this case, not 52.x. (There’s also arv:60.0withMbrowser/60.9.0- noIBMthis time.)

Might be a language barrier as I’m not a native English speaker, yes. And I was referring to their moderation team. They seem to have no issues with extremist left stuff, but the moment you don’t display nothing but pure hate against something considered “right” (in the context of German politics) they get very trigger happy with the ban hammer.
- mbirth 🇬🇧@lemmy.mltoFediverse@lemmy.ml•Looking to join a mastodon instance that is leftist in politics22·5 months ago
I was thinking more that their moderation team is mostly German and thus they’re very sensitive about German politics but less sensitive about other countries’ politics.
I got shadowbanned for life for mentioning not to blindly believe some statement about a “secret” report about the German right-wing party without seeing said report first. So that’s that.

Depends on the area. As it’s a German instance, in terms of German politics it really is “as left as it gets”. But they probably don’t care much about US politics.
Meshtastic has issues with all those repeated status messages eating up airtime. Meshcore seems more reliable. And there’s also Reticulum.
