Yeah people act like it’s so easy to get a virus but if you’re even remotely competent it’s pretty easy to avoid

Genuine question: what alternative would you recommend? I was planning on buying a few for various projects next month with my next paycheck but now I’m not too keen on funding them.

I can’t wait to have to pay a subscription fee for some aspect of it.

This is the type of high-brow conversation that keeps me on Lemmy.

“You will love the cloud and we will sell everything you upload to it. You won’t own your data, OS or hardware when we are done.”

Mastodon managed to just confuse the hell out of me before boring me. Take that with a grain of salt, though, because I was never on Twitter. It may be me, not the platform/concept.

Poo poo!

Yep! As the other commenter who replies to you said, it definitely can. You don’t even have to selfhost it; the app’s developer hosts a cloud sync server you can pay for thays dirt cheap. You can also sync notes without the cloud server. There are a lot of ways you can use it without having to get into the technical aspect of it!

I boost Joplin on here every chance I get, so please allow me to do so again now! I run it with my own sync server and a small userbase of about 6 people on a cheap VPS. I could not be happier; between the webclipper, sharing, encryption, embedding of pdfs, photos, even mp4s, ease of selfhosting, it’s an amazing project! It’s been (knock on wood) rock solid!

Have you ever considered…not being cranky?

The real trick is to do this when it isn’t actually anyone’s birthday

Darknet Diaries is so good! I love his show.

Like VPNs. Pretty simple.

Downside is it will push teens to free VPNs and those are almost always malicious.

Absolutely assinine regulatory decision brewed by people that do not understand how the world or people work at all.

I think he’s saying he doesn’t use it himself.

Yep that’s exactly right. I’ve fixed the link in my original comment. Unfortunately I have no knowledge regarding the onion link.

This should give you a lot of starting points. There are a bunch of options that run trustless with atomic swaps between various tokens and no KYC. I haven’t used them, as a disclaimer, as I’ve always bought person to person via cash, but there options on there for atomic swaps from Bitcoin to monero, eth to monero, etc.

I don’t know if I could get it on while watching Wormtongue

The bottom right, for sure!

I’m sorry to be the spelling guy but it’s “forbid” not “phorbid”

Nope. I’m here to tell you this is a lie and we need more oil. This post is sponsored by ExxonMobile, the producer of the loveliest sludge destroying your planet and future!
