@twinspin6 You should be able to. It's common in IoT devices to use a different name for root. All that matters is the uid which for the full privileged account is always zero (on Linux at least). -

@snacks It's a band-aid solution. If the companies running scrapers really want to have access to that information, they can spin up a few servers that will deal with it. You can't win, because they have near infinite money. The proper solution is to nullroute on sight, but that requires work and spending some time figuring out what IP is what. -

>More direct means of resistance are also possible, especially for the privileged and highly paid employees of big tech. Maneuver yourself towards the levers of power. At your current job, find your way onto the teams implementing the technology that enables authoritarianism, and fuck it up. Drop the database by “mistake”. Overlook bugs. Be confidently wrong in code reviews and meetings. Apply for a job at Palantir, and be incompetent at it. Make yourself a single point of failure, then fail. Remember too that plausible deniability is key – make them work to figure out that you are the problem -

Everybody's complaining about how AI farms use too much power, but nobody talks about how much wasted energy the stupid PoW challenges consume. Having to spend almost 80 seconds creating hashes to view a fucking mailing list is absurd. -

@moth_ball @Hyperhidrosis @sun I got stopped by 2 cops in Houston for walking to my hotel. They at first thought I was a druggie, then they thought I was drunk and then asked if I needed help with directions. -

@kaia I don't currently have any space for a server at home, but if I did, I would probably have some path for SSH that I can quickly access and shut it down remotely with one command. If that isn't enough, maybe a door sensor that shuts it off when you aren't home might be a good solution too.
Full disk encryption can be a pain to use when you have frequent long power outages, since you need SSH remote access to even unlock the drives. And only Debian supports that without doing janky setups. -

@pernia @arcana @scathach @mischievoustomato I don't trust even my self with proper security (untreated paranoia). And all of them suck anyway.
Nextcloud is a meme that is half borked all the time. A uni contracted me to switch them from Novell NetStorage to Nextcloud and it was a nightmare to properly setup and maintain back then as it is today. If you don't run the Docker image that is. -

@arcana @twinspin6 Work phones aren't that common, but they are becoming more useful since companies now want you to install their malware on your phone.
I don't want to have the work profile turned on all the time on my phone just for Teams and work crap, so I've bought a second chinesium phone for work and the work profile on my main one is for spyware apps from Google Play. -

@skylar @arcana @scathach @mischievoustomato I'll gladly go back. It was a simpler time and the Internet was much more fun to use than today. -

@mischievoustomato @arcana @scathach For me anything that runs iOS is unusable since sideloading is still not implemented and barely anyone will write apps for that anyway. I refuse to use the default Youtube app and ReVanced probably won't be ported, because it does funky stuff with Smali. NewPipe also probably won't be ported. And Syncthing almost certainly won't, because it depends on Golang for most of it's functionality and I refuse to sync all my files with any cloud storage (even self-hosted ones). -

@meeper @mold You can get a list of servers your instance cannot reach anymore on the instance.tld/api/v1/pleroma/federation_status endpoint. Filtering follows based on that shouldn't give you that much false positives (especially if you check the date since it's unreachable for a reasonable value like a few months). -

@arcana @scathach @mischievoustomato
Sending files via Bluetooth: Not implemented (Use half-broken AirDrop instead)
Transferring photos to your phone with a cable: Not possible without crapTunes
Transferring music to your phone: Only possible with crapTunes
Backup your phone: Only possible with crapTunes backup which cannot be easily exported to plain files
True file management apps that don't have their view of the file system hampered by a "sandbox": Not possible without private APIs only Apple has access to
All of this would be solved, if you had access to the filesystem. Android technically does not allow full access by default anymore, but apps can still request it. -

@adiz At least microUSB is a better connector. The mating tolerances and insertion cycle wear are a lot worse on USB-C. -
