Oh misread my bad,
not much experience with PostgreSQL

Yeah,
I did a speed test comparison between Oracle MySQL and MariaDB MySQL,
MariaDB is about 10 times faster.

FYI: When Oracle bought MySQL a lot of developers left and created MariaDB, so the brains behind the project moved, and in the meantime Oracle did a great job of fucking things up.

2 words though "Kiddie gambling".

Sure Steam is one of the less evil companies out there, but they're far from innocent.

Hi OP, I do the same thing during winters.

For XMR,
you can increase the profits a bit with XmrVsBeast + Gupaxx

I lately have a saying:

OP I appreciate the reasoning.
But I'd advise against it,
and would recommend users to delete their Facebook account asap.

Why? 4-5 years ago I already noticed the "illusion of free speech" on Facebook.

The platform is a data farm,
but I'm a data privacy advocate,
so I regularly posted data privacy articles/tools.

Which went against the best interest of Facebook, so they simply held back that content from nearly everyone's feed, resulting in it getting nearly zero attention.

But if I posted a dumb meme,
it would get a lot of attention.

I've asked around to friends back in the day who where scrolling online if they saw my data privacy posts, none did.

So staying on the platform to advertise things that go against Facebooks best interest, will likely not yield good results.

However deleting your account,
is a great conversation starter that can easily be directed into WOM (Word of Mouth) marketing, to teach your friends and family about Fediverse tools.

That's nice and all,
but when will they tackle loot boxes?

That shit has pushed plenty of minors into gambling addictions, but they don't crack down on it, since they get a sweet cut of it all.

Valve in general isn't the worst company,
but they're far from innocent as well.

For those that don't know:
It was a jump-scare flash game.

The goal was to navigate through the maze with your mouse, without touching the walls, which gets harder near the end, likely resulting in you getting closer to and concentrating hard on the screen.

Near the end they flashed a horror image and blasted a loud sound through your speakers.

Personally, it didn't make me flinch much though,
but I guess it affected some others like OP.

Yes Fediverse software can challenge the tech giants,
but we can and must expect them to fight against it as soon as it gets on their radar!

They'll likely will attempt to do so by:

  • Censorship: Keeping it out of the feeds/search results of their users.
  • Propaganda: Putting it in a bad spotlight (e.g. marking it as security risks on their own platforms).
  • Direct Attacks: E.g. DDoS attacks and/or bot user networks spreading bad content on the Fediverse platforms.

We should already try to harness ourselves against the direct attacks.
And help with spreading Fediverse software through WOM (Word-Of-Mouth) marketing,
since the tech giants certainly will not help it spread themselves.

The Fediverse is one of the few sparks of hope I have remaining lately,
let us ignite these sparks together into something bright!

Ahhh sad to hear, but thanks for your reply,
now I know that I can stop searching,
and start hoping for quick implementation of Wireguard config support for Netbird :)

[–] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks for your suggestion, but after going through the Github issues,
I'm afraid that it's not possible yet to connect to Netbird using a Wireguard config file:

Up till now I've been using only OpenVPN connections.
Which can be integrated nicely in NetworkManager to connect + disconnect from them, through NetworkManager's UI.

However since recently I also need to use Netbird for some connections.

Is it possible to add Netbird as an entry in NetworkManager, for easy connection + disconnection?
If so, how would one go about setting that up?

Or is adding Netbird in NetworkManager not possible,
and is the Netbird CLI/GUI really the only option?

Edit:
It's not possible yet.
First Netbird needs to add Wireguard config support,
see: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/2504

Oh did not know that, sad to hear.

They did remove traffic to the old Yuzu domains though, which now are in the hands of Nintendo, used to monitor which users use emulators.

Do you have other suggestions for promising successor forks?

 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/12733354

As you all know or may not know,
Nintendo has taken down Yuzu,
see following post for more info on that:
https://lemmy.world/post/12728163

Now it's important to preserve the code base of Yuzu,
so hopefully someday, once things cooled down a little,
an active fork can stick it's head up.

After looking at the Azure DevOps Pipelines
of yuzu-emu/yuzu,
I noticed the latest pipeline ran 8 hours ago
as of writing this post:

Which tells us that the latest commit,
was a merge of PR #13198 from
zhaobot/tx-update-20240301020652

This fork,
is the most up-to-date one / contains the latest commit
done to Yuzu before the take down:
https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu/tree/tx-update-20240301020652

I encourage you all to pull, star and fork this fork,
not only the master branch, but all branches!
The more copies floating out there,
the better the project will be preserved.

You can pull the code base to your local machine, with:

git clone https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu.git

(Requires https://git-scm.com/)

And you can pull in all the branches,
as described in this Github Gist:
https://gist.github.com/grimzy/a1d3aae40412634df29cf86bb74a6f72
