Ottawa moves to restrict social media for kids under 16 in c/canada@lemmy.ca
[–] 1 point 1 month ago

There's a clip in the CBC article linked in this post, the minister that tabled this bill was asked about age verification's effectiveness and kids getting around it in Australia.

The response was basically: Just because it doesn't work, doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.. It's a brain dead take.

    If only the people writing these bills were as sensible as you. Unfortunately these people believe age gating works. All it'll do is require more personal data to be tracked everywhere.

    According to the full text, there's no such consideration regarding "traditional" the only thing that I can see that qualifies a "social media" service as "regulated" is the number of users, and that's apparently TBD by some yet to be appointed council.

    Fediverse will be hard to enforce compliance, so I don't know what they'll do to try and force age gating on us.

    I'll be curious to know if y'all experience any federation issues. If not, I may introduce this on the mastodon instances I administrate!

    Bitwarden 100% price increase in c/technology@lemmy.world
    Bitwarden 100% price increase in c/technology@lemmy.world
    [–] 1 point 4 months ago

    Eh. Bitwarden is better in that way, but not by much. It's honestly not that bad if you just sync the keepass DB somewhere. Whether that's cloud or syncthing.

    Bitwarden's apps are where it's a better experience. But there's still somethings about the apps that are very lacking. Like not being able to sort entries.

    I easily sync my keepass db across 5-6 devices.

    I use KeePass on like.. I dunno 5-6 devices? They all sync together via Syncthing. No server needed. My keepass db is just one of the things synced this way.

    Works pretty well.

    These are the apps I use:

    Desktop (Linux & macOS): KeePassXC Andrdoid: KeePassDX iOS: KeePassium

    The whole ecosystem can be used for free. But like.. tip your open source devs yo.

    Syncing happens pretty quickly with Syncthing. So conflicts in the keepass DBs are very rare (maybe once a year if I'm impatient after a change on a different device). But they do happen, I'll give you that. Some restraint (wait for sync) and checking (this is where sorting by modified helps!!!!) what's the latest change helps.

    You can't fathom why someone would want to.... sort a list...?

    I don't know how to answer this. I think you're serious, but I can't tell. Want to read that community post I linked where over 600+ people voted for the sorting ability?

    Use Tailscale. Don't expose the port to the public. You're good to go. On iOS, the Tailscale app allows for on demand joining of your Tailscale network (when you're off from your home network for example). This makes it easy. On Android it's not as direct, can use Tasker to achieve this, it's not great. But there's a feature request on their repo too.

    Alternatively, there's Netbird which behaves similarly. I haven't tried it, but have read good things about it.

    Neither are US based as well if that's a concern for you. Tailscale is Canadian, and Netbird is German. Netbird is completely open source. With Tailscale, the CLI and Android apps are open source, and there's an open source alternative to the control server called Headscale. But honestly, using their free tier is probably enough (for both services).

    Recommendations for Note taking app with simple needs (lemmy.ca)
    submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

    Hey y'all. I've been testing a bunch of Note taking solutions and nothing seems to check off what I want and need.

    I want a simple interface (both for list view and note editor/view), preferably similar to Google Keep, but a regular list is fine as well.

    Key features:

    A. being able to drag and drop re-order checkbox lists.

    e.g.

    • [ ] item 1
    • [ ] item 2
    • [x] item 4
    • [x] item 3

    I'd like to be able to just drag and drop the above to sort things correctly.

    B. E2EE at rest.

    C. CTRL+F inside the note view/edit!!

    Honestly, the only functionality I truly want is A. But most of the solutions I found are either proprietary or can't do it.

    Self hosted options I've tried:

    • Joplin (can't do A; UX is not great)
    • Standard notes (A + C is gated by their self hosted premium subscription; I don't mind paying for my apps, but the prices are ridiculous)
    • Silverbullet.md (can't do A)
    • Quillpad (very similar to Google Keep and can do A, but has terrible file syncing, not E2EE)

    Notesnook looks almost as insane as Standard Notes to self host (mimicing AWS stack locally is nuts). Has anyone tried Notesnook yet? I don't want to spend another afternoon setting something heavy up only to find that the feature I want is gated by a heavy $.

    Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

    EDIT: Woops! I am looking to use the notes app on both Android and Web/Desktop Linux. Preferably an open source solution.

    Ability to change pinned posts to compact style in card view (lemmy.ca)
    submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by to c/thunder_app@lemmy.world

    My instance has a bunch of pinned posts that stay pinned for a while... I typically use Card view which means those posts take up a lot of space!

    Would it be possible to make pinned posts all compact in card view?

    Or maybe letting us change between compact/card view for individual posts. Maybe that's a bit overkill tho. I really just want it for pinned posts 🥲🙏

    PS: Thunder is so awesome. The experimental unifiedpush (and the thunder server!) is an awesome addition ❤️

    SSH clients on Android (solved: Termux) (lemmy.ca)

    Hi y'all. I've just switched back to Android and I am trying to find a more modern SSH client (supports Fish Shell). I have a license for JuiceSSH from before but I notice it doesn't play well with my servers fish shell. Anyone have any good recommendations for SSH clients that are FOSS and recently updated?

    EDIT: recommendation by @enemenemu@lemm.ee

    Using Termux (with styling add-on) from F-Droid. Installed OpenSSH and using SSH that way. 🤓🙏

    Hashtags on Home feed (lemmy.ca)
     

    I'm following #Vancouver hash tags and I don't see anything showing up on my Home feed; there's been new posts since following the hashtag though. Those new posts with the hashtag should be showing up on my Home feed right? I know they do on pixelfed.social.

    I see a post on my pixelfed.social home feed for an account @pixelfed.ca that has #Vancouver in the post.. but on my pixelfed.ca home feed, I'm not seeing that post. I can search for it though? Is there some kind of home feed setting I'm missing?

    Does anyone else have a similar experience with following hash tags that aren’t showing on the home feed?

    Split Tunneling on Linux (lemmy.ca)
     

    I'm trying to use ProtonVPN to set up split tunneling so that my tun0 is the only network device that is protected by ProtonVPN. I need this because I have file & web servers running on this Linux box (Ubuntu).

    With previous VPNs I've used, I would use OpenVPN and add to the openvpn config and this work the way I intended:

    route-nopull
route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0

    With other VPNs I'd just run

    curl --interface tun0 ip.me

    And that would return a VPN ip address.

    For some reason, ProtonVPN seems to be blocking me from using the same workflow. Is there a working guide for ProtonVPN to do what I'm trying to do?

    [Feature Request] First tab icon tap should jump to the top (lemmy.ca)
    submitted 2 years ago by to c/avelon@lemm.ee

    The biggest feature I notice missing in almost all Lemmy apps, is jumping to the top on the first tap of the tab icon of the view you’re in.

    E.g. you’ve scrolled down a bit while in the Posts tab, then you tap the Posts icon, in Apollo, it would jump to the top of the list view in Posts, then second tap would take you to the communities subscribed slideout view.

    Avelon does the second function but not the first. Would love to see this added as it’s a great quality of life feature IMO.
