Good to know, thanks!

Yes older gen is fine, but I don’t see that much of a difference on the 4TB drives, they tend to all start at 190-200€. Maybe because there aren’t any older gen at that capacity yet? I haven’t followed SSDs progress closely.

I won’t buy from Amazon either. I don’t have much experience with Aliexpress, and haven’t looked up their history out of laziness. Will do.

It’s hard, if not impossible, to buy ethical tech. I prefer to buy second hand, but that doesn’t really make a difference.

Thanks. Yes power consumption is important, so I’ll keep that in mind!

Is there a specific term I should look for, or simply “power management”?

it’s most likely from yogsaron yogtos or agreeable landscape

I took screenshots, I’ll try to dig for them

Edit: so it was Donbas invasion, my bad, it’s hard to remember bullshit. if I find enough screenshots maybe I’ll make a post to show what c/worldnews on .ml looked like before the reddit migration. Here you see some resistance, but believe me it was mainly tankies, and those absurd posts were upvoted. Sometimes people were trying to inject some sanity, but against the incessant flow of upvoted propaganda, would cash out.

Typical post mocking the absurdity of an invasion (they were a dime a dozen):

I’m glad we can agree on this.

I was on .ml about 2 years before .world existed and discovered tankies and their ideas

russia amassing troops on the ukrainian border? just exercises, don’t believe western propaganda.
Days later, invasion. well no it’s actually ukraine invading russia (I shit you not)
oh well ok it’s a “military operation”, but that’s because they’re nazis, and bio weapon laboratories to attack russia. Etc,etc

If you have 2 braincells compare tankie and far right talking points, and underline the similarities

my fucking sides

new users, either believe we’re alt right astroturfers, or go to the tankie servers, familiarize yourself with their ideas, make your own opinion

losers, I get scammed by girls who are WAY hotter!

thanks. I was trying to make it the default in Fennec. see my edit

I’m trying to add it on Android

How would a VPS make it private? honest question, I have a VPS I could use but I always figured it would be linked to one IP, and I would be the only one using it. Doesn’t make much difference compared to home

If I were to share it with a lot of people that would be different I suppose

A phone is just that - a secondary device

I don’t know. more than 60% of Internet traffic comes from mobile devices, and it keeps increasing

people spend a third of their lives on those things. And while cumbersome, a big screen simply is better for media consumption

only way I see smaller phones make a comeback is if we change our habits or if a new technology comes along

GNOME Web (Epiphany)

I kind of daily drive it as I made webapps with it for some services I host (which Firefox still doesn’t offer natively)

The UI is quite nice but it isn’t always the smoothest in terms of performances. Still, a very respectable effort

Lemmy was created by a tankie, many of whose opinions I abhor.

As long as it’s FOSS and doesn’t inherently promote their beliefs, I will use the software.

I agree it’s not great and I’d prefer if it weren’t made by imbeciles

Airvpn, or Azirevpn if you’re ok with few servers

Of those I’ve only used Azire, and it worked well. I’ve seen Airvpn recommended often though

Some Proton aren’t either.

What is becoming increasing difficult is Youtube. finding a patched client and the right VPN server is no easy task.

As VPN usage becomes more mainstream I believe “premium” offers will start to appear, offering servers with fewer people, regularly renewed IPs, things like that, for a higher price.

I sometimes have to switch servers to comment on Lemmy

I think I remember him endorsing signal years ago which gave it at big boost at the time
