I'm so incredibly proud of my government for using SolidPods to store citizen data. Something our northern neighbours should've done too apparently. That's a scary article.

GDPR should prevent any tomfoolery, but if I was dutch I'd be pretty scared atm.

I've asked some DJ's what radio they listen too and NTS has been unanimously answered. Very good variety, playlist for any mood and discovery is great as well.

I always wonder if the deepfry is artificial or by natural causes, its like modern day hieroglyphs

Must've missed it, damn that's pretty cool thanks!

Trying to access blocked content is still a major red flag, and there's over 500 instances on lemmy atm. I wouldn't risk it.

Mine is setup like that as well, but IIRC it's only for thumbnails. When you open an image, it's requested from the original server.

Browser pre-loading does DNS requests and sometimes even loads the full page in advance without even clicking a link, for faster load times. So it all depends on your app/browser/instance combo.

Be careful browsing federated social media on work internet. You don't know where requests will be made, I've seen a post of someone getting in trouble because lemmynsfw was pre-loaded by their browser.

Mine is using about 100GB atm, ran it on a 40GB to start but the data management was a bit much. Good luck though!

I've been using OVH without issues. How big is your drive space though? Lemmy uses quite a bit. Federation can take some time too.

cowsay is still my favourite package

I tried, but I like information density and the new UI is a horrible waste of space. I get why people like it and it's way more modern, I'm saying loads of people who used reddit from the start will probably never get used to the new UI, mostly because of the customizability and open API.

Reddit didn't have apps in the beginning, so we made them over the years perfecting the UI. I settled on baconreader with a compact view, but it and so many others died when the API was purged. I patched my app and can still use it to this day, but I don't because fuck them.
