Yep. Installed it, started it, saw it is basically the website in an embedded browser, uninstalled it.
Like, come on, you have a web version. Why should I use an extra application to view a website. This seems like a cheap excuse for a desktop app.
I think MS talked about how they handle detection. And it isn’t based on Geolocation, but the choosen install language/region. If you choose one where the DMA applies, you will get the DMA options. For english speakers there should be a Euope (English) install option.
Tho, this does require reinstalling your system.
You should still reboot your Linux server regularly. While the updates can run in place, running processes will not pick up the changes until restarted. And when you update the kernel you also need to reboot the system to pick it up. While there are distributions out there that have systems in place to auto restart affected services and can upgrade kernels in place (e.g. Ubuntu with the right licence), it is still recommended to reboot every now and then. My server is set up to reboot once a month and after every kernel update.
Depends on where you are. Depending on country it can range from no one giving a shit, over to getting letters from your ISP, over to getting smaller fines, up to getting railed for your life.
If a website has a German version, try using that. By law every web page here must have an (pretty much) directly findable button to cancel your account. Even when you are logged out. It normally is positioned in the footer of the page. Search for “kündigen” on the page and fill in the form.
Note that not all pages still do this. But normally even just threatening to sue should add it, as they really wouldn’t be able to go against this in court. Tho crunchyroll does not seem to have this. Maybe I should create an account and do some trolling.
Or just use GDPR and write a cancellation mail. I am pretty sure in most countries they need to accept it. Do not forget to add a deadline of a few business days.
That just sounds like standard scaling. No big Plattform is running on one server with one instance
You strip them was less easily. Also, better grip on the screw=more torque
This is like the 12th week or so I heard that. Tho if people repeat it every week they will be right eventually!
Edit: This comment was written hours before the official announcement. Never had my comment milk spoil THAT fast.
I am pretty sure that already happened. Any bigger (or even many smaller) companies have disaster recovery plans if one of the higher ups dies or vanishes. There is a high likelihood that the next valve leader is already fixed or at least a Gremium to get to there.
Sounds like a pretty normal thing. A few years back, when the difference was still worth it, I also drove from Germany to Luxembourg to fuel up. And I think a lot of Germans close to Poland do the same with Poland.
If you live at the border, why not drive an additional 10 minutes to save some money?
For that money I can get 10 to 12tb of HDD storage. So not really useless.
I do pay for YouTube premium. This means the creator of the video gets payed by watchtime. Why should I pay for watching an in-video ad?
For normal users it doesn’t matter, as the creator is payed by view, not watchtime. And from what I know, sponsor deals are either fixed value or fixed value per X views. So it doesn’t impact them if people are skipping.
Yes, but how often does that happen to the average person?
ufw makes it way nicer to use tho. I only use iptables as I have a configuration script I wrote way back in the day.
You can, but you should configure your server in a way that this shouldn’t be a security feature of your setup (e.g. key-auth as OP did). It does help to cut back on uninvited guests a lot tho.
You can set up firewall rules that limit connections to certain ports. For example, you can disallow connections to everything but port 22 (which ssh runs on) to only allow access to the ssh server from outside. Same with VPN.
Read up on ufw (or iptables if you want to do it lower level and have a drink on hand).
Thanks for the info!
I just checked trackersignups and found something spicy :)
It seems like r/opensignups telegram channel is just a bot posting the contents of /r/opensignups to it. So it is dead as well.
I think /r/opensignups closed after the blackout
How to completely fail on a mail client. Holy hell.
