The United States is a second world country.

I agree that recent events have made it unsafe to host anything on a US company's cloud server.

But I disagree that recent events are the biggest reason not to host anything on Google, AWS, or Microsoft servers. You should have gotten away from them long ago.

This article seems like a lot of FUD written from an anti-FOSS perspective. In their second point, they say that F-droid's inclusion policy is "ridiculous" for requiring programs exclude proprietary software. I think the author is ridiculous for asking for this. This is what F-droid is for. I don't want any proprietary apps or libraries on my phone. If developers only want to work on their proprietary software, they don't get into F-droid. If they make a modified FOSS version and put it in F-droid, and let it bitrot and go unpatched when vulnerabilities are discovered, and F-droid issues a security advisory for that program, that's not F-droid's fault.

Programs that run as regular users usually store their config in ~/.config/ or ~/.local/share/ so look in those places for config files relating to gnome. There might be a lot. It may be easier to backup then remove the both directories, saving only the config of your most important programs. Some config is stored in dconf, which should also be in here.

The amount saved was actually negative, because the contract would have brought in more than $8M in value.

From Podscribe. Scroll down to "Top Podcasts by Downloads & Views per Month". It's a shame Newsweek didn't show their work.

I think that wormhole.app page is different software from magic wormhole (and warp). It just has a similar name. wormhole.app does appear to be proprietary.

Thanks. I think I found its homepage, is it the same as this? That looks like part of Gnome, so should be open source too. (It's maybe available in your operating system without needing a flatpak, if you would prefer it that way)

I'm not familiar with warp, and couldn't find it with a search. But I did find magic wormhole, and it appears to be MIT licensed, so it is open source. I also searched packages.debian.org and found it, so definitely open source.

As for firewalls: it might only block incoming connections, or has an exception for LAN hosts. I'd have to see the configuration to say more.

Pretty much any tool with a cutting surface made of tungsten, high speed steel, or industrial diamond.

But one source I found says they only let people use their feet.

Major Russian banks have called on the central bank to take action to counter a yuan liquidity deficit, which has led to the rouble tumbling to its lowest level since April against the Chinese currency and driven yuan swap rates into triple digits.

The rouble fell by almost 5% against the yuan on Sept. 4 on the Moscow Stock Exchange (MOEX) after the finance ministry's plans for forex interventions implied that the central bank's daily yuan sales would plunge in the coming month to the equivalent of $200 million.

The central bank had been selling $7.3 billion worth of yuan per day during the past month. The plunge coincided with oil giant Rosneft's 15 billion yuan bond placement, which also sapped liquidity from the market.

"We cannot lend in yuan because we have nothing to cover our foreign currency positions with," said Sberbank CEO German Gref, stressing that the central bank needed to participate more actively in the market. The yuan has become the most traded foreign currency on MOEX after Western sanctions halted exchange trade in dollars and euros, with many banks developing yuan-denominated products for their clients. Yuan liquidity is mainly provided by the central bank through daily sales and one-day yuan swaps, as well as through currency sales by exporting companies.

Chinese banks in Russia, meanwhile, are avoiding currency trading for fear of secondary Western sanctions.

This doesn't seem like a useful way to use Lemmy. It's more like just a mirror of Reddit, in which case archive.is or web.archive.org would be more useful, in my opinion.

Better not to waste bandwidth and resources on this, in my opinion.

 

2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.
