Advertisements in Manjaro?!..
  • Rikj000 Rikj000 Now 100%

    I care for matray to give me news on OS updates,
    not to give me advertisements.

  • I logged in today and was greeted with this advertisement in my notifications. Seriously Manjaro team, I've been happily using your OS for the past few years, but if you jump on the enshittification train and start with pumping out advertisements in my OS, then it won't be long before I hop to Arch...

    What if somebody wrote a virus that infected windows computers to replace the OS with linux?

    That would be an anti-virus.. x)

    Since it would remove spy-ware from your computer.

  • Rikj000 Rikj000 Now 88%

    I've been happily using the clock app that comes embedded with LineageOS for years now.

    If you don't want to switch to LineageOS,
    then you can still find/install it from ApkMirror:

  • Why do you care about privacy?
  • Rikj000 Rikj000 Now 100%

    Imagine living in China,
    where the government is able to request data of each company in their country.

    Imagine that China would setup an AI/LLM, to feed all private chat data into it,
    and automatically flagging opposition of the government regime.

    Imagine a white van appearing in front of your house and disappearing into a concentration camp because you got flagged after expressing your opposition to the government to your mate in a private chat.

    All collected data can be abused like that,
    or by other means (E.g. a country at war gets hacked, which could lead to leaking critical private information on political/defensive decisions).

    To me the question is not if data collected on you will be abused, but rather when will it be abused?

    Just having it stored somewhere imposes risks.

  • Why do you care about privacy?
  • Rikj000 Rikj000 Now 95%

    Privacy should be a basic human right.
    Data collection could be massively abused by oppressive governments.

    Not caring about it = Not caring about your rights.

  • Feature requests for a lemmy moderation bot
  • Rikj000 Rikj000 Now 100%

    OP I agree with you, it's a great idea imo.
    I've been a moderator before on a Discord server with +1000 members, for one of my FOSS projects,
    and maintenance against scam / spam bots grew so bad,
    that I had to get a team of moderators + an auto moderation bot + wrote an additional moderation bot myself!..

    Here is the source to that bot, might be usable for inspiration or just plain usable some other users:
    https://github.com/Rikj000/Discord-Auto-Ban

    I think it will only be a matter of time before the spam / scam bots catch up to Lemmy,
    so it's good to be ahead of the curve with auto-moderation.

    However I also partially agree with @dohpaz42, auto-moderation on Reddit is very, uhm, present.
    Imo auto moderation should not really be visible to non-offenders.

    Either that, or they might dedicate a whole wing of the museum to all the lawsuits they fired off throughout their history, against independent community fan projects.

    Nintendo is a lawsuit company that makes games on the side after all.

    It's not dead,
    the (over)hyped period is just over.

    I for one do plan on picking it up again in the near future, they added quite a bit of new content (pals, tower boss, island, oil rig, arena, raids, ...) since I last played it.

    Playing some Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon, through [Citra Canary v2798](https://archive.org/details/yuzu-citra-source-code-binaries) with: - Internal Resolution: 9x Native (3600x2160) - ~~Custom Textures: [High Resolution Textures by GoboII](https://old.reddit.com/r/MysteryDungeon/comments/k2ks66/high_resolution_textures/)~~ - Graphics API: Vulkan (AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT) And I gotta say, I'm happily impressed by how good it looks! Apart from the low resolution font/texts, I'd forget that I'm playing a mobile title from 2015 😄 **Edit:** I disabled the High Resolution Textures, because they cause: - Random game freezes in connection orb screens - Slowdowns while in villages / dungeons / connection orb screens - Incorrect black / white rendering of clouds / earth during cut scenes

    I figured out a way to "easily" get them in single-player. **Recommended prerequisites (Not so easy):** - Reach level 44, for Legendary sphere's - Upgrade your Capture Power to level 10 at the statue of power with Lifmunk Effigy's **Cheese method for Alpha Frostallion:** - Install one of following mods: - Pal Info https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/178 I've been using this one up till now. - Pal Analyzer https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/336 I will soon switch to this one, since it looks nicer. They both will show you the passive skills a pal has, allowing you to check em out before catching the pals, so you don't waste sphere's - Travel to Frostallion, check his passive skills without battling, if they're not as desired, exit / re-enter your world, that will re-spawn / re-roll in a new one with new passive skills, repeat till you find a desired one. - Start battling as soon as you find a desired one, took me 20-30 minutes for mine. - There will be a large / tall ice rock in the area (Coordinates X: -349, Y: 519), just start circling around it, always keep the large / tall ice rock between you and Frostallion - Eventually he'll climb up the ice rock, and will fall down from it eventually as well, which will hurt him through fall damage for about 300 - 3000 HP! - Rinse and repeat until his HP is low, then start throwing your legendary sphere's 😄

    Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI (Artificial Intelligence)? Real AI does not exist yet, atm we only have LLMs (Large Language Models), which do not think on their own, but pass turing tests (fool humans into thinking that they can think). Imo AI is just a marketing buzzword, created by rich capitalistic a-holes, who already invested in LLM stocks, and now are looking for a profit.

    ⛏️ **__Fair CPU pool mining introduction__** **Monero (XMR)** is one of the only projects which offer a way of mining in a pool as it should be implemented, with **P2Pool**: - **Fair** - Instant payouts according to your share. - **Decentralized - No pool owners** - No centralized party handling the **P2Pool**. - **Decentralized - Pool participants** - Due to the **RandomX** algorithm being used, no specialized Antic miners can be built for XMR. Meaning that an average Joe can still participate and earn shares with their CPU. - **Private** - XMR itself continuously aims for the best possible privacy cryptography can offer. **__Source Code / Links:__** - **Gupax:** A GUI (Graphical User Interface), to easily mine Monero on P2Pool using XMRig https://github.com/hinto-janai/gupax https://gupax.io/ - **P2Pool:** Peer to peer pool, truly decentralized pool for Monero mining https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool https://p2pool.io/mini/#pool https://p2pool.io/#pool - **XMRig:** RandomX, KawPow, CryptoNight and GhostRider unified CPU/GPU miner https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig https://xmrig.com/ - **RandomX:** Proof of work algorithm based on random code execution https://github.com/tevador/RandomX - **Monero:** The secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency https://github.com/monero-project/monero https://www.getmonero.org/ - **Monero GUI:** Official Monero GUI, for wallet, miner and monerod node https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui - **P2Pool Observer:** Monitor various P2Pool stats https://mini.p2pool.observer/ https://p2pool.observer - **XMRvsBeast:** Enter a free lottery, only for participating XMR miners, to win a chance of a short, but serious boost in your hash-rate / payouts! https://xmrvsbeast.com/p2pool/ - **Monero Fail:** An extensive list of publicly hosted monerod nodes https://monero.fail/ ⛏️ **__Fair CPU pool mining guide__** This guide will help you setting up a fair **Monero** miner, please note, that you still will have to create your own config files for: **Gupax**, **P2Pool** and **XMRig** 1. Use **Monero GUI** to create a wallet 2. Use **Monero GUI** to run your own **monerod** instance (Monero Node daemon), configure following startup flags under: Monero GUI => Settings => Node => Daemon startup flags: ```properties --zmq-pub=tcp://127.0.0.1:18083 --out-peers 32 --in-peers 64 --add-priority-node=uwillrunanodesoon.moneroworld.com:18089 --add-priority-node=nodes.hashvault.pro:18081 --disable-dns-checkpoints --enable-dns-blocklist --prune-blockchain --sync-pruned-blocks --db-sync-mode=safe --log-level 1 ``` These startup flags will help with: - Blocking malicious nodes - Keeping your copy of the blockchain as small as possible - Provide logging incase a `priority-node` goes down (Use **Monero Fail** for replacements) 3. Configure the **P2Pool** + **XMRig** binary paths in **Gupax** under: Gupax => Gupax => P2Pool/XMRig PATHs 4. Use **Gupax** to run **P2Pool**, connect to your local **monerod** instance by configuring P2Pool as following: Gupax => P2Pool => P2Pool Mini => Fill in the following: ```properties Name = Local Monero Node IP = 127.0.0.1 RPC = 18081 ZMQ = 18083 Out-peers = 32 In-peers = 64 ``` 5. Use **Gupax** to run **XMRig**, connect to your local **P2Pool** as following: Gupax => XMRig => Command arguments *(configure `--threads` as desired)*: ```properties -c config.json -o 127.0.0.1:3333 --http-host 127.0.0.1 --http-port 18088 --threads 30 ``` This will make it possible to load a `config.json` file from the same directory as the XMRig binary **__Notes__** - If you're gonna run on normal end-user hardware (e.g. Desktop/Laptop/Smartphone), then I'd recommend to mine on **P2Pool Mini** instead of the main **P2Pool** - Your **P2Pool wallet adress is public**, periodically move mined funds to a new, truly private XMR wallet - My use-case? I mine to support the cause and to earn a little back from heating my room during winter times 😄

    Hi all 👋 Here with a small guide for the [Eternity](https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Eternity) app for Lemmy, on how to setup your own custom filters, so you can weed out unwanted content 🙂 **Motivation:** I was getting sick of my feed being bombarded with war related content.. So in this guide, that's what we'll be filtering out. **Guide:** => Open Eternity app => Tap Hamburger menu icon (Top left) => Tap Settings => Tap Post Filter => Tap Plus icon (Bottom right) => Fill in: Post Filter Name = `No War` => Fill in: Title: Exclude Keywords = `Gaza,Hamas,Israel,Palestine,Pakistan,Ukraine,Russia` => Tap Save icon (Top right) => Tap new `No War` filter => Tap Apply To => Tap Plus icon (Bottom right) => Tap Subscribed => Tap Plus icon (Bottom right) => Tap Search => Tap Back Arrow (Top left) => Close / re-open Eternity app This was just an example, adjust as desired + can create filters for whatever you (don't) want 😉
