Would be great if there was an arm64 Linux build 🥲

Can you share what lawsuit you’re referring to? 🙏

You should try out https://pcpartpicker.com/

Great tool to spec out a computer and give you an idea of how much it’ll cost you.

Neat. But it’s kind of concerning to see yet another OSS project hitch it’s community resourcing to Discord.

I’ve switched from Quad9 to Mullvad DNS a month ago, and I’ve been noticing some domains aren’t resolving. Domains that shouldn’t be blocked. It feels like Mullvad’s rules are extra restrictive.

The key for me was being told: it’s okay to ride (to hold) the clutch a little before/during/after you’re switching gears.

Pretty simple to switch (if you have a little docker experience). Create a folder (e.g. ./postgres), add the folder as a volume in the postgres portion of the compose file (maybe something like /db), then run just the database with newly mounted folder, shell in, and copy everything from the Postgres folder to this new folder. After that, swap mounts so the new folder is used as Postgres db and you’re good. If something went wrong, the pgdata volume is still there to switch back to.

Asahi Linux is shaping up nicely. I’ll probably install that soon. 👀

True that. Small victories 🥲

Make one, if for nothing else as a portfolio piece!

It’s funny. I have been forced to use macOS because of work, and I use rectangle to mimic what KDE plasma does out of the box. I’d suggest using KDE if you wanted something powerfully customizable and user friendly. If you find something that works with other windows decorations (non-KDE), I’d love to know about them too for when I inevitably switch back to Linux Desktop!

Haha I meant, I guess that’s why Twitter isn’t on the list. Since the name itself didn’t become part of our vocabulary.

Both words are used, so I understand the confusion; also, sprinkled with a little misspelling:

Dumpster: The Dempster Brorthers, Inc.

EDIT: Just read the Dumpster Wikipedia page. The Dempster Brothers’ had a truck called The Dempster Dumpmaster 😂

Good share. I saw the nudge in the mobile app, but I didn’t realize there was breaking changes and upgraded in the middle of the night before bed (what the hell was I thinking???). Spent a good extra hour trying to figure out why.

Key take away, the pgvecto.rs version needs to be upgraded. If you are using docker, update the docker-compose.yml. If you’re not, upgrade your pgvector.rs version first. 🙏

I suppose a tweet isn’t a Twitter.

That’s odd. The project has been archived. No more active development. This seems like such a cool project too. I wonder what happened 🙏

We are in a privacy community. A privacy community with a specific website that makes recommendations on messenger apps. And yet, OP is asking for an opinion on comparisons between Signal (recommended by the guide) and Telegram (which isn’t even in the guide). Why would this be necessary if they weren’t thinking Telegram could be a private and secure messenger too? Even tho it’s not recommended on privacy guides. Draw whatever conclusions you want to fit your own world view. But just because others do so differently, doesn’t mean they’re bots. That’s a very lazy way to view the world. And that is also just my opinion. If you wanted to discuss the points of the article, I’m down. But if you’re coming in here to be reductive because you have a differing opinion, then this is all I’m going to be saying to you.

Thanks for the article. That’s a really good breakdown for most arguments of Telegram propagandists. 🙌

Hm? Not sure which Signal you’re using. But it very much still requires a phone number to use. Usernames are not available just yet. There’s activity related to usernames in the GitHub repository, but no release yet.

They did remove the ability to send and receive SMS from their Android app. That was about last year or so.

I’m getting at the fact that most platforms do stupid shit like “this message might not be deleted if the receiver already saw it” like WhatsApp does and/or replacing messages with placeholders saying “this message was deleted”. Telegram can be plain-text and can have a lot of issues but it guarantees that stuff is actually removed without trying to bullshit you like other do.

There’s absolutely 0 guarantee that what you’ve “deleted” is deleted. On any platform really. But what you can rely on is the fact that the E2EE is there to make sure things are only readable by whoever the messages were intended for (barring being hacked and compromised keys etc). The message can say whatever it wants, doesn’t mean a lot if you can’t trust the source. Again, we’re just talking about different threat models. With Telegram, it’s not meant for secure and private communication. It has a different audience. And to push Telegram as a private or secure communication, you’re actively doing the public a disservice.

If we assume that your privacy / security is broken (because it is) I might as well use the platform that provides the best desktop and mobile experience with fast syncs, ability to disable animations, have real desktop apps and not electron shit.

If you can’t trust even open source technology that you can review and build yourself. And trust renowned cryptographers reviews of this technology… then why are you in a privacy community telling people their experiences aren’t true to what they’re telling you?
