yes, but actually no.

there are apps (like rethink DNS) that pack multiple functions in the app. if an app is being used to handle a VPN connection, it gets to process all your network traffic, see for each packet which app does it belong to, and can do both firewalling, split tunneling by app or type of traffic, and can also filter packets. most VPN apps just don’t bother with it because its a complex task, and most users wouldn’t use it anyway.

There’s also AFWall+ that can configure the kernel’s firewall with root permissions, without setting itself up to handle a V0N connection.

both of these apps are available on f-droid

are you sure the wife’s tv doesn’t try 8.8.8.8 or another public DNS server, or perhaps DoH after failing to resolve domains through the pihole?

you can turn off the google stuff

until google allows that

i dont understand. why do some of us want so desperately to show IDs for buying Monero? if you want to show IDs, buy another, and swap through trocador.

I think we don’t need CEXs, what we need is better accessibility through Haveno and such: options to buy in lower amounts. both for those that don’t have much money they can freely spend, but also for those that are afraid to start with a large amount of money

it always had ads. that was its point, not the shortening

same opinion here. but sometimes it’s not a choice. Especially on a company phone, but also on a personal one. Don’t forget either that not everyone here did/can degoogle their phone.

if that’s the case, that feature seems to work rather poorly

any that has got permissions to do so. its a toggle in the permission settings for apps that use it

Op: read about pgp/gpg. Do it now. When you don’t understand something ask questions about it instead of giving up.

While that’s usable for files, they cannot use it for the app backups and conta ts and such that the system creates on iCloud

this also hides the comments inside posts from the community, unless you are subscribed, even if you browse to the post directly

I think this should maybe be considered a bug? anyone agree? I can file the bug report on Github

that’s right, it doesn’t seem right

that’s not what I meant. but that when you export the contacts, that happens to shared storage

well, you have a point. mandatory work group chats are still a question, but this may solve the majority of the problem

except that the model is not offline if you access it through yet another online service, doing who knows what with your data

ok, I see. was asking because OP said that it works everywhere, including phones

fair enough. but I think I remember an option on the main settings page that allows you to change it this way

and that is not what I was complaining about

which probably also collects and keeps everything you say in the chat. just look in ublock origin’s expanded view to see their approach to privacy, by having a look at all the shit they are pushing to your browser

of course, move the ducking goalposts! buying a big yacht is also achievable, technically! but very little of the people can actually do it.

don’t forget what did OP say:

failing to make it clear that the reason people love Deepseek is that you can download and it run it securely on any of your own private devices or servers

don’t believe me? look at the post text. this is as large a misunderstanding as the Eiffel Tower. Virtually nobody can run it on their private devices, that fraction of a percent is basically a rounding error.

I’m so tired of this fucking bullshit. but let’s hate proton for it if that’s what’s trendy!

as I said in my original comment, it’s not only VRAM that matters.

I honestly doubt that even gamer laptops can run these models with a usable speed, but even if we add up the people who have such a laptop, and those who have a PC powerful enough to run these models, they are tiny fractions of those that use the internet on the world. it is basically not available to those that want to use it. ot is available to some of them, but not nearly all who may want it

forget NixOS. I understand that for seasoned users it might be a cool thing, but as I see you may be a beginner, and you totally don’t need that.

docker is solid advice though. use that and a reverse proxy, like nginx or apache (they are complete web servers with revproxy capabilities), and put different services on different subdomains of the machine’s hostname (like api.etesync.mypc.lan, and web.etesync.mypc.lan). that way you basically run multiple services with the same IP and port, and the reverse proxy separates the different traffic of services by looking at the subdomain.

if I’m right that you’re a beginner, take your time, you’re not in a rush. it will work out, but you’re learning, it might take some patience here and there
