@iiGxC@slrpnk.net don't forget the CL:OUD Act either - that has serious privacy implications for countries outside the USA

@gedaliyah@lemmy.world I have some RSS feeds but everything is read right now I'm not sure if these are all full text content: https://itsfoss.com/rss/ https://www.linuxtoday.com/feed/ https://opensource.com/feed https://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/rss.xml

I use Full Text RSS to pull in the full content into FreshRSS

@hiramfromthechi@lemmy.world like their content, but pity it is only really headers. There is no full text content.

@kylian0087@lemmy.dbzer0.com I went with Proton and the reason was either that I could import and use my own PGP key, or because it had more general compatibility with other mail services using PGP (well possibly both those reasons). So I could send encrypted mails to Thunderbird users as well as GMail users (who had a PGP encryption extension).

@jerry@fedia.io wow OK that is worrying me a bit now. I just moved to Hetzner about 3 months back. As far as I've seen, mine has stayed online OK - it's a VPS though, so maybe not affected then as it is not dedicated server hardware. I moved to them as they really seemed to offer more bang for less bucks versus my previous two server hosting providers.

@General_Effort@lemmy.world it's about retaining a single identity for yourself, and one which you control and link to where you are using it vs a unique profile at every different social network.

@SorteKanin@feddit.dk my biggest worry is that his Solid POD has been coming from about 2016 in design and was funded 2021 or so, and I remember it being announced in 2022 or so. In today's world, that is pretty slow-going. It seemed to always be imminent. I even registered a POD back in 2022... and then nothing still after two years. So many other decentralised protocols have been adopted since then.

Admittedly we do have an urgent need for one's own POD identity no matter where you are on social networks, but I still don't see how we're going to get ActivityPub, Nostr, WhatsApp, Facebook, etc to all adopt it.

@petsoi@discuss.tchncs.de in case anyone else wonders what Toolbox is:

Toolbox is a tool for Linux, which allows the use of interactive command line environments for development and troubleshooting the host operating system, without having to install software on the host. It is built on top of Podman and other standard container technologies from OCI.

Toolbox environments have seamless access to the user’s home directory, the Wayland and X11 sockets, networking (including Avahi), removable devices (like USB sticks), systemd journal, SSH agent, D-Bus, ulimits, /dev and the udev database, etc..

This is particularly useful on OSTree based operating systems like Fedora CoreOS and Silverblue. The intention of these systems is to discourage installation of software on the host, and instead install software as (or in) containers — they mostly don’t even have package managers like DNF or YUM. This makes it difficult to set up a development environment or troubleshoot the operating system in the usual way.

Toolbx solves this problem by providing a fully mutable container within which one can install their favourite development and troubleshooting tools, editors and SDKs. For example, it’s possible to do yum install ansible without affecting the base operating system.

@Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de this relates to Lemmy versions in case others are also wondering what it refers to...

@hai@lemmy.ml I started in about 2006 when my work was going to fully convert to Ubuntu. At the last minutes the CIO left and our project champion also left, and Windows continued, but I'd been bitten by the bug and continued to use Ubuntu at work and at home since then. Now on Manjaro KDE.
