Signal actually has a rule on not using third party clients on its servers. These clients existing do not prove the point you intend.
Doesn't take away the fact that not being on F-droid is a huge issue and says a lot about how much they care about privacy and security.
Is it time stamp of last usage, or time stamp of all messages?
I suppose lack of RTL support would be show stopping, so I'd have to wait for that first. Thanks for the hard work!
Yeah I was familiar with that one and spoke with the creator. Unfortunately they had trouble with adoption because r/Arabs refused to let them advertise. They also were not federated.
No, not at all.
What I think is lacking is an Arabic-speaking space and Arab-related discussions.
It's not. I think you misread what I said, and I already explained to you that it isn't. It's to have an Internet space for Arabs. My mention of the Palestinian cause is using it to motivate people to move over to Lemmy, in light of the censorship against Arabs.
This is not meant to be an anti Israel lemmy. It is an Arab lemmy.
I don't think it is harmful to give people the option to spaces primarily speaking about local matters and concerns, and primarily occupied by local people. It does not take away the other spaces.
We are already in an age where it is almost impossible to undo globalization, and nothing I do will prevent those who frequent mixed and international spaces (or more accurately Western dominated spaces) from doing this. It is only giving them a place that didn't exist before for content they couldn't post or read elsewhere.
Most of the world already has this. I don't think Arabs having it will be harmful.
I think you misunderstand my intentions. An Arabic lemmy instance is not aimed at isolation. People will be able to ineract with us without issue, and we will interact with them (federation will be open). The only purpose is to have a space where we are free of corporate censorship, and a space where you (whether an Arab or not) will find many other arabs, rather than most of the internet that is English-speaking, and most of the remainder speaking a west european language.
If anything, this would de-isolate Arabs. The primary Arabic speaking spaces on the internet are networks of friends on Facebook, isolated from the rest of the world. At least this way you can find us, and see that we are normal human beings (as unfortunately some racists in the western world are surprised to find that out) and you can talk with us.
The small existing Arab spaces that are accessible to the outside world is cringy, unserious, terminally online memers that ruin our image and do not represent us. Probably many of them are 4chan-ers
Every major social media is censoring anti-israel or pro-Palestine content. This may be a good opportunity to convince Arabs to move over to lemmy, where only we control the content moderation.
For the record, the lemmy won't be Palestine only. I just think it'll be the reason people will move over.
The reason I ask for others to help me is:
- help advertise to other Arabs to bring them over
- someone to register the stuff in their name. Unfortunately, I am an immigrant in a country and have been interrogated by them before (on bogus grounds). While what I'm doing is not illegal, they have their eyes on me and I am paranoid they'll give me trouble again regardless. I can take care of the technology side of the hosting and the initial costs (hopefully donations cover the rest). Since it will be on your name, moderation and the like will be your decision, but I will just want to make sure initially that we are on a similar page.
Which is exactly what this UN resolution is about.
It's a post about Reddit attitudes in c/Reddit. What other kind of content would you expect here?
It's acquire bad reason imo. If anything, the resolution is very forgiving. It could literally pass and nothing absolutely change, yet they still chose to vote against it.
But they literally define which rights those are. There is no "natural" base, it's just whichever they decided to protect (and often times even those are infringed upon)
Bro have you considered that starving to death is actually okay?
If someone came to me and said "someone just murdered your parents who live in another country", and I asked for proof. Your inclination is "this guy loves to see photos of dead parents"? Or is it that "this guy wants evidence that this random stranger's claim is true"?
The meme is poking fun at the fact that this event never happened, and there's no evidence of it.
I obviously am not happy to watch decapitated children. The meme is poking fun at the fact that Israel lied about this incident.
It is a meme yes. Just because it tackles a current even doesn't change that.
I made a post on! fediverse@lemmy.ml but it doesn't seem to appear when I go to lemmy.ml/c/fediverse or even lemmy.world/c/fediverse@lemmy.ml
I don't think this is the first time this happened to me. What is the cause and is it fixable?
Was able to install gentoo on a Oracle always-free instance. It has 4x ARM CPUs and 24 GB RAM. Those specs are really nice for a free instance.
for now I'll use it to self host some public facing services. Who knows, maybe I'll host a personal lemmy instance on it :)

Typically, this is handled by DHCP server, but if you have enabled EnableNetworkConfiguration in the iwd config, then iwd is the one deciding which is your DNS server, and relays that information to your resolver, which in most cases is systemd-resolved but sometimes openresolv.
This is also the same as setting the standalone USE flag

Hello friends, I am considering self hosting on my desktop computer, which already has gentoo Linux installed. But my concern is that my regular desktop use could compromise the security of self hosted applications, which tend to handle private user data.
What can I do to secure myself against this threat?
For example, browsers on their own are a security nightmare. You are running arbitrary remote scripts, and there's no telling the extent of damage they do (most websites out there doing extensive tracking).
What can I do to secure my self hosted applications while running them on the same machine? Is there something I can do to somehow isolate browsers and other sketchy applications from the damage they could possibly do?
Personally for me, I've always been a fan of bspwm
I've been using hyprland as of recent to try it out. But I think I'll be trying something else soon. But I do want to stick with wayland.
I tried wayland with Hyprland on gentoo with proprietary nvidia drivers. I have the RTX 3060 Ti card. It works out of the box without having to mess with anything.
I tried sway as well. I have to specify the --unsupported-gpu flag for it to launch. The one issue I noticed with sway is that the background does not seem to load. I did not spend time debugging so it maybe a super simple fix. I'll report back if I ever do.
But I'm happy to see its all working flawlessly!
When emerging nvidia proprietary drivers, portage warned me that I have certain kernel configurations either set wrong, or unset, which could cause trouble for nvidia to work.
I was impressed that emerging nvidia drivers involves scanning current kernel config to see what it is missing.
