chinese software is way too often shoddy quality. the state does not need to plant backdoors, because most all of their products already include them. nothing is invulnerable, true, but chinese software is just not secure at all.

for an example, just look up chinese iot devices, even popular brands like tplink. lots of unbranded and sometimes noname branded cameras use the same firmware base, connecting to the same cloud service allowing unauthenticated remote access to the devices, their networks, and arbitrary firmware updates.

hardware requirement bypass? hell no. at that point 10 LTSC and activation bypass

but you can’t compete with them. you should really be adjusting your wants! be happy you are alive

yeah, people who live in the US of A should be just happy they are still alive!

I would agree, if websites and webapps wouldn’t be so bloated as they are. if the rich wouldn’t make us to downgrade out of their gluttony. but also, old technology is not that easily available. production lines have been shut down long ago, and if everyone went to the used market, nothing would be available even there anymore.

its sad, but its still true, other than it being temporary. its still not safe to think as your home about places that only tolerate you until you can satisfy the lord.

and a TCP handshake alone is what… Less than 1MB?

less than 1 KB

neither does the something.vercel.app domain

was duplicate

if it is signed by a key used in public repos of the commiter, or otherwise known to possess the key, that is proof, yes

I think copyparty can handle partial transfers both ways

thanks! also, I think as things are now, it’s fine to keep using lemmy for your server. but keep in mind that in the future they could implement features that are not for the benefit of your community. anything can be reverted with some custom development, but you may not want that.

there are some lemmy instances that are planning a switch to piefed, with a database migration so that existing content and users are kept. the one I use is among them.
updates to lemmy can make such a migration harder in the future, even unintentionally.

set the fs watcher delay to something small in the advancdd folder settings in syncthing.

they recommend people to donate to lemmy devs in the reddit post, though.

I am not blaming them, they probably didn’t know it, but it’s worth mentioning.

the commiter name in the repo is not ironclad proof, anyone can upload commits to their repo in Linus Torvalds’ name. but github probably has the capabilities to find out who was the original uploader of the commit, or what was the upstream repo of a fork

oh that’s good to know, thanks!

and this one:

User vote totals: You can see the total number of upvotes and downvotes given to each user.

people were happy that lemmy does not do this…

that page limit is very bad. essentially makes lemmy posts ephemeral. did we forget that we hated it when reddit did that?

piefed and lemmy users see the same content though
