    1. use a modern, popular distro. There are less things broken and you get more support

    2. do a fresh install with a fresh user to nor carry over your broken configs and customizations. Do everything from scratch again

    3. Tackle the issues one by one and provide detailed steps to reproduce, error messages, logs, screenshots or videos. You can ask right here on lemmy, but you’ll probably get more eyes on it on reddit tbh.

    I felt just like you a long time ago when kde introduced wayland at the end of 2016. After a couple of super frustrating months, I made a backup of my /home, migrated my archlinux to btrfs (by doing a fresh install) so I can have snapshots and revert if I mess something.

    Had only minor issues since then and most have been fixed some years later. Others I’ve learned how to work around (for example by using gamescope, because I have mixed resolution multi monitor setup and some games think my 2k screen is 4k)





  • I think that really depends on why the app made the system hang.

    Can you reproduce it consistently? If so, you could try out different forms of isolation, like flatpak, docker, a VM. And there are linux distros focused on each of those, but you can try a solution on whatever distro you’re running.

    If for some reason your system hangs due to resources (which is the only case I have ever experienced), that can be limited through cgroups and such. The only resource I don’t know how to limit is GPU compute.





  • mainstream

    is the keyword here. Mainstream is really big.

    They come for the lions share first. You do nothing because you think you’re unaffected. Then later they will come for you. And nobody will do anything for you either.

    Of course, professional criminals like yourself (sarcasm) will find a way to escape the law. But I doubt it’s nice to live on the edge of society like that anyway, being unable to interact with most services.


  • I had a Volla phone for a month. Got it because of the spec and linux support as well.

    It felt extremely cheap because of the build and materials used and customer support was beyond useless. They literally lied about the capabilities of their product until I could proove that the issue was in their hardware and not in my cables or my computers. Had to set up windows on a machine and went through a handfull of different cables from amazon. And then they would not accept a refund because the back and forth took longer than the 2 week return policy. They agreed to making an exception but oh no nevermind because their shit plastic on the back of the phone got a microscratch while being on my table inside of a protective case for a month (0 seconds in my pocket). Maybe the scratch was even already there when I got it, I have no clue. They sent me a photo from a microscope. You can only see it with the naked eye in perfect lighting conditions at a specific angle if you look super closely and know where it is.

    Sold it on ebay for 60% of the price and made it my mission to tell this tale whenever they are mentioned in my social media.

    I can not recommend them at all.


    edit:

    awesome table, thanks a lot for sharing!


  • the protocol is text only, to embed media, you need to host it on the regular ( Centralized ) internet

    except we already figured out how to encode images (or any file) as text when E-Mail was created. That is how images in E-Mails, attachment or embedded, are done. I can easily imagine a userJS script that will render them in the browser, but even if not you just copy the text and decode.

    if a community is badly moderated, the user will never see it, it wont be recommended to him. the user can visit bad communities directly just like you can visit a bad website directly, but it’s not recommended to you so it’s safe to use.

    Ah… so you’re guaranteed to have a dark CSAM subculture on there at some point.

    being p2p, seedit is not private, so it can’t really be used for illegal activity

    As if that has ever stopped anybody. See all the people that got caught for sharing it on the clearnet. Or on Signal, Telegram or similar, where you have to enter your phone number, which is personally tied to you.


    All in all - Great way to adress the concerns, by admitting they are in fact possible. “Hurray crypto” or whatever.
