True, but it’s super cheap. I pay less for a year of Usenet and indexer than I’d pay for 2 months of basic cable or just about any streaming service.

I have been using Frugal and nzbGeek for years and have no complaints.

I solve it by paying way too much for a block of static IPs.

Usenet still exists.

There are definitely people in their 90's using Lemmy.

You're talking about a 16 year old, a 19 year old, and his estranged wife who is a physical therapist. What's demented about them?

For the government, it's always worth it as long as the funding is flowing. After all, it's not like they are footing the bill. You and I are paying for them to spy on us.

I do appreciate how hard it can be to tell the difference sometimes.

When I have an edible or light up I am making a conscious decision that that's the end of my traveling day and I'm not leaving the house again, at least not by driving anywhere. It's just common sense. I don't care what it is, alcohol, weed, high test cough syrup, your vicodin and muscle relaxers, doesn't matter. Don't drive impaired. If you've ingested those things, you're impaired or about to be. Nice to see the pushback against the legalization fearmongers and their lack of evidence, though.

1400 hours and I never noticed.

Uninstalling now.

Anyone else get the feeling like this is the last expansion of the bubble before it all implodes?

That's old style thinking. If that type of matching isn't already automated and running, it will be soon. They'll click a button and find you everywhere if you've left enough breadcrumbs, so there won't be any lengths to go to. And as someone who has gone through the cybersec exercises of hardening browsers against fingerprinting, knows what VPN can do and more importantly what it CAN'T do, etc, I can say there are precious few people in the world going to the lengths required to stay truly anonymous. It basically has to become your top priority and constant focus if you want to be successful.

 

I run a pretty locked down Firefox browser and I noticed when browsing lemmy.world that the browser wants to pull stuff from a long list of other instances, which fails because they aren't trusted. Is this normal? I thought an instance would collect the things you are subscribed to and store them locally so that you didn't have to go talk to 20 different servers. Not true?

 

After spending all day setting up Bitwarden I ran into a roadblock getting the iOS app to work with it. I get an SSL error because my cert doesn't have the EKU value they want. I use OPNsense for my CA, and it doesn't have the ability to generate this value on a cert as far as I can tell. I really don't want to stand up another CA just to get this one app working. It's the only thing I've found a hard block on with using my internal CA in all my years of homelabbing.

The hilarious thing is that Safari on the same device will connect to my Bitwarden website with no issue - it thinks the cert is fine. Way to go, Apple.

This is mostly just a rant against Apple, but it would be nice if Bitwarden could bypass this by allowing you to trust your own cert inside the iOS app so you're not beholden to Apple's stupid requirements.
