So you keep an encrypted backup at work with the decryption key at home, and an encrypted backup at home with the decryption key at work?

But if your encryption keys to your offsite backup are on-site only, doesn't that make your offsite backup worthless in the case where "offsite" is important?

If your house burns down, you don't have your encryption keys to your only backup.

From what I've seen, they aren't building the games, they are licensing existing ones. There are decent games in the mix.

Beta is the wrong word, but there is quite a difference in stability between Fedora and Debian.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 5 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Yeah, it might be easy to install but you are also a beta tester of things that will be in more stable distros two years from now.

But with that said, I love Fedora, but with Gnome. I use Nobara for the gaming simplicity but with the vanilla Gnome spin. I'd recommend it to anyone, most Linux distros these days are pretty user friendly once installed.

Huh, is there some drama I missed?

Haha dumb autocorrect. Firefish is what I was trying to say.

The beautiful thing about the Fediverse is that those 75 users are in an ecosystem with the 50k+ Lemmy/K/mbin users, along with users from Sublinks, Mastodon, Firefish, etc.

DNS is when your browser asks where to find a website. You enter Lemmy.One in your browser, and your browser asks the DNS resolver the address of the computer the website is hosted on.

Most people will use their internet company's DNS, and it sounds like France ordered these companies to block some illegal streaming sites by having the DNS server point to a page saying it's blocked instead of to the website server.

More technical users changed their settings to get DNS from google, Cloudflare, etc instead of the internet company, so now France is going to make those companies block the sites too.

Ah yes, thanks, edited. Using a new keyboard and the autocorrect is still learning.

You already have Jellyfin, maybe test out adding a music library and using Finamp or Fintunes to access it?

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 3 points 5 months ago

Yes sorry, I know there is more complexity than what I implied. I think it came from a position of frustration that Kbin has been DDoSing lemmy instances for months due to some bug causing junk activities to be sent in huge numbers, in addition to Kbin being the primary source of spam for lemmy. I'll remove my comment as I can't stand behind it.
