Can you configure your GtS instance to not federate at all, say if you wanted to run a private instance for friends?

The swamp gets ever deeper and deeper.

Sadly I had to go the other way, from Slack to Teams. Oh the horror!!

Very true, good point. I’m looking at it from my own selfish point of view. 😁

Personally I have zero interest in influencers and I’d rather use a platform that isn’t designed to amplify their content. That’s just me.

His kids are probably waiting in the wings expecting to be future candidates.

Him and musk for sure.

His salary increase must be inversely proportional to the quality increase in Windows 11.

They want to invent higher polling numbers so that when/if Trump loses, they can point at the polls as proof the election is rigged against him.

Why didn’t they give him the job where he has to stand outside on a street corner, holding a big sign advertising the latest deal at the McDs? That would have been gold.

Not women, republicans need them to cook, clean and produce children.

It’s probably because he can’t subtract his age from 80.

 

I’m trying to set up a group so multiple users can share a folder. I created the group and a folder for it but I’m not what paths I should use for both. The result is that the user can see the group folder in the web UI but an error occurs after clicking on it:

“Failed to get directory listing: Unable to get directory contents"

Thanks

 

Does this trick actually work?

 

I’d appreciate some assistance in finding a budget gaming laptop from a reliable source. I can pop into BestBuy (who enjoys that anyway!) or Canada Computers but are there alternatives? I’m look for something to play older games, like strategy games as wargames, but I’m not bothered about the latest games. I also want to do some development, likely using Eclipse+Java and also use docker-compose in VirtualBox. Maybe I’ll also mess around with Unity3 or the Unreal engine.

A reasonable spec is: 16 or 32Gb 512Gb+ SSD Decent discrete GFX card but not the latest Current or previous gen AMD or Intel 2+ USB 3 ports FHD monitor Nothing too heavy though I won’t be travelling Budget is probably $1100+tax

Is that reasonable? Thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated.

 

I’m considering picking up a cheapish laptop for development, with the intent of installing Linux on it. Typically it’ll be Java development or other stuff in docket containers. Is there a best chipset to pick for Linux or are they pretty much identical these days?

 

I was looking at browsers in the Play store and saw the Ghostery browser. It's now apparently based on Firefox, and I assume the Ghostery (plugin/extension) functionality is built in. Does it protect privacy better than other browsers and is it worth trying out? I currently use Firefox on android but I detest it's UI decisions. I've no idea if Ghostery has a different UI or not.

 

If I self host some kind of private video chat service, is the video data transferred direct from connected peer to peer? Does it go through the self hosted service instance? Or does that depend on which video server is used?
