It does seem like what I’m seeing would be someone’s idea/joke of a drunk mode, but it’s how the page loads for me - I didn’t click anything. And I can’t read the buttons to see if one days “turn off drunk mode”.

Holy shit how can you read that? For a minute I thought the text was encoded until maybe I clicked a button, then I thought it might be Arabic, now I see that’s it’s English but I can’t even make out all the letters. No thanks.

I now see that I expressed my idea unclearly. Sorry!

I don’t have any RSS feeds specifically for new/good apps. I meant that in my normal RSS feeds, sometimes new/good apps are mentioned that I want to take a look at.

I get leads from sites like selfh.st, Lemmy communities that discuss FOSS or Linux (or even non-tech-related communities sometimes mention an app that has to do with their domain of interest), and I sometimes search github (FYI, I use github as little as possible - I host my own Forgejo forge for my stuff - but, like Youtube, you have to go where the data is if you’re going to find the data).

I use Obtainium. It’s not a store or repo, so I have to manually find the apps I want to install. I even prefer it over fdroid: I might search for apps on fdroid but then go to the app’s repo (on codeberg or github, etc) and try to install them via Obt ainium. But 98.6% of the time, I don’t use fdroid to search for apps - I find them mentioned on Lemmy, in my RSS feeds, searching the internet via searxng.

I use Cirrus becau I love its ingenious widget: it shows the next 12 hours of weather (not temperature) in a tiny space that’s super easy to read.

Asio on the cwtch website itself:

Cwtch /kʊtʃ/

Cwtch (/kʊtʃ/ - a Welsh word roughly translating to “a hug that creates a safe place”) is a decentralized, privacy-preserving, multi-party messaging protocol that can be used to build metadata resistant applications.

I think you mean these but i dont know where they are now.

Googled earned about $325B in 2024. $30M is about .009% of that. If you earn $50K per year, it would be like you had to pay $4.50 for committing a crime.

I also like/use CryptPad. FYI, it’s self-hostable.

This is interesting. Thanks for sharing your test results.

Do I understand correctly that if your computer shares a fingerprint with fewer computers, it’s more distinguishable/identifiable?

Well, no I’m not. You’re right. I miscalculated how much data was needed for video streaming. Even multiple simultaneous hi-res streams should stream fine with 1GbE.

But as an abstracted idea, you might want high throughput within your LAN for some reaosn, even if an ISP doesn’t offer 10Gbps to your house.

E.g., NAS on my LAN, especially for streaming high res video to devices in my house.
