Chat, should I do it?

See, if you’re already referring to others as “chat”, it probably means you should have deleted it sooner.

If I can get 2 hours, yes (“sleep”).

Perhaps just streaming service ripping sites like https://lucida.to/

Ads. If done well, I may even see it. I am talking about the ad just being an embedded GIF with a href set on it so that clicking it goes to the advertiser’s site. Simple privacy-respecting ads.

Example: https://lowendbox.com/
Look at the right and scroll down.

It costs nothing because you get it from LibGen.

That would be mine dog. He attempts to eat everything like Bubba.

They won’t be able to identify what is making the pizza so delicious but they’ll absolutely love it.

…and then you tell them it’s pineapple, right? What an evil plan, I love it!

I would stop. At that point it’s not really a donation, but a payment. I don’t know how much of that donation to consider a “payment”.

Similarly I didn’t get the Tor Project stickers. I don’t know how much the stickers, envelope and postage cost them, thus I couldn’t determine the amount that is “donation”. As such, I opted not to take them. Just the same with Fediverse Canvas 2024 stickers. Some amount of that has went for Canvas development, but how much I don’t know. Once again I opted for donation only.
I’d like them in both cases. Perhaps $3 (excl. shipping) per sticker is still OK to consider a purchase, but $25 for a few stickers, meh.

Anyway, my point is, if for the donation I am provided exclusive products or services and I either don’t know their cost (to subtract from donation amount) or don’t have the choice to opt out from being provided the services/products, I won’t donate at all.

But even outside of that, it wouldn’t pass. For me, one requirement for donating is that whatever group I am donating to provides everyone the same service no matter if you pay them or not. Otherwise I can’t really consider it a donation, and I don’t have the money to pay.

Seems to just be a normal Lemmy instance, so why wouldn’t it be? You just need to choose some client app, or use the browser, whichever you like more.

You mean OTA TV? I don’t even watch sports, the rest has 10 minute advertisements. And considering it’s digital, I don’t find it interesting at all. Yes, a weird reason, but anyway.

OK, it seems I can bring my current music library. I experimented with it a bit now, and I guess I could get used to 12kbps Opus or 12.65kbps AMR-WB (they sound comparable). It kinda sounds like off-tuned FM radio, not the much more awful artifacts of MP3 or AAC.

Although… can I bring a cassette tape player? It’s analog, so tapes won’t fall under this limit. Then I could possibly digitize it. Similarly with movies on film. I don’t know what equipment I can take though. Movies on film, photos on paper, books on paper, music on tapes, hmmm… I guess that would be some games then. What counts under the media though? Just the games themselves, emulation software, entire OS?

I mean, wouldn’t that be similar to leaves moving in wind though?

this space intentionally left blank while we wait for people to frequently ask questions

I thought FAQs were always just made up.

I feel like NGINX is simplest to configure. And it’s in the repos already, so I don’t see the advantage here.

Easy to do redirects, directory listings, serving a static website, setting mime types of specific files, basic user authentication, using HTTPS, using it as reverse proxy, limiting request types, limiting bandwidth, and making the directory listings far nicer with fancyindex module. That’s all I need and it’s pretty simple to do with NGINX. I don’t know what the Python HTTP server does, nor how to use.

Because… I can.

And it’s portable.

Termux on Android.

I’ve got some videos on my phone I might want to watch on random computers, so I serve them up with NGINX. I’ve got wget-created mirrors of some old websites on my phone, so I serve them up with NGINX. Other files I may want to move out from my phone to untrusted computers on the network can too be served up simply by NGINX.
I’ve got the full Wikipedia zim file from Kiwix on my Micro SD card, so I run kiwix-serve (behind NGINX).
I’ve got all the music on my phone, naturally the phone is then running my Navidrome server (behind NGINX).
Of course, I may want to manage this from a computer, so it’s running SSH server.
My phone is always connected to VPN and uses NextDNS, naturally I may want to use this with other computers, but I can’t install software to computers I don’t own (I mean, I can, but … it would be disliked), naturally it is then running Tiniproxy HTTP proxy server.
Some desktop GUI apps can be useful on a phone too. noaa-apt, Kid3, Audacity, desktop Firefox, Handbrake because I am too dumb for ffmpeg, so I run XFCE DE on it. Naturally, I can access it from a computer (I know) too, after all it’s accessed via a VNC server.
Am I stupid enough to expose something using HTTP protocol running on my phone to the internet? Of course I am! I can use cloudflared.
Do I want to encrypt a file? I can use GPG.
Do I want to create a compressed archive? I’ve got TAr and GZip.
Do I want to browse Gopher? I’ve got Lynx.
SSH or telnet somewhere? The clients are there.

Hear me out, the entire universe is most likely temporary, so technically all the code you write is in fact temporary.

Based on this Chromebooks can run Firefox flatpaks.

Here’s the thing…it’s completely fake and has been circling the internet since 2017.

Bank and government website behind Cloudflare???

Fuck, I just checked, my bank is also behind Cloudflare, what the fuck…
I kind of assumed a bank wouldn’t put another company with ability to view all transferred data between customers and themselves.

How much of the internet is not behind CF?
I should probably try blocking their IPs and see what will still work.
