If they haven’t been tagged as bots please report them. The ability to mark an account as a bot + the ability to hide all bot accounts is there for a reason and whoever is creating all of these accounts is not playing a fair game.

Mods + admins are keeping an eye on reports and there’s tons of accounts being banned every day across threadiverse. Some trolls give up after a while (new ones always pop up, but that’s just the internet).

That’s a nice tip, have to try that out. Thanks!

Vinegar based cleaner for everything and you are good. Recommend a separate, dedicated mirror cleaner for mirrors though. Clean weekly to reduce the need to scrub with more powerful stuff.

Interesting, never had issues with my Tolino with Calibre. Kinda thought Tolino is just German-speaking market branding of Kobo together with Thalia.

Oh yeah I 100% agree with that.

For sure it took more back then, however looking at people using their phones/tablets for everything I think you can still learn a lot by simply trying out and using a computer to do similar tasks you would do on a phone too.

The screenshot might have been a bad analogy since e.g. steam actually lets you access your screenshots directly in the application, but if you want to set it as your background image you still have to access the file itself.

Thanks! This was actually a great question too, because I hadn’t really thought about how I gradually learned to use a computer.

For me it was games on a computer. Learned how to use the keyboard, mouse, and later troubleshoot shit that was not working because I really wanted to play a game.

It’s small things like “oh I can take a screenshot, hmm where does the screenshot go?” and that’s how you learn to navigate files and folders etc.

No problem, glad that we were able to provide you a useful answer. Highly recommend checking out the community blaze linked in a comment below to get an idea how the lang stuff works on lemmy!

Correct me if I’m wrong but you can select multiple viewing languages. It’s just slightly unintuitive in lemmy-ui: hold either CTRL or SHIFT (I forgot, apologies) while you select languages in your profile settings.

The default posting language/allowed languages are decided on community level by mods.

Edit: didn’t want to just say unintuitive without offering an alternative, so: visible checkboxes would maybe be more intuitive?

Ah… But there is another. The all mighty creator (app developer of voyager) whose name is in purple!

I’m guessing you are using Voyager app. It’s because I’m your instance (sopuli) admin :)

I’m not going to push anyone who uses a secure decentralized FOSS chat already to signal, but someone who uses telegram/viber/whatsapp is easier to get gradually on signal, which is super low effort compared to the ones you mentioned.

I’ve tried. I’m happy that I got friends and family to move from SMS and WhatsApp to Signal. Some I got to move to e.g. matrix but that’s only a few.

Just my two cents since you asked. I agree with you but I don’t want perfect to be the enemy of good.

YUP I gave up quickly! it’s truly a CSSHell lol.

From their release notes:

[…] Note that this feature is completely optional and no AI related code is even loaded until you configure an AI provider.

I’m glad for that part.

That sounds like a nice stack! And true, self hosting is really nice. Just wanted to give options if you don’t feel like getting into self hosting.

Nevertheless, good luck on your privacy journey! I’m working on it too!

I had not heard of ubicloud, that’s pretty cool! Thanks for the tip!

And sure:

I don’t self host it, I got managed owncloud space from a domain and web host provider.

I manage my own VPS that I got from them but the cloudspace came extra with buying the domain + email services (I’ve managed email server at my job and no way in hell will I do that for myself, too much headache).

So basically, in short, I have a managed email + owncloud space (just 5gb, don’t honestly need more) from a commercial provider and just use owncloud app on my phone and PC to sync folders on both. I keep my encrypted joplin notes and (encrypted by default) keepass database on this cloud. Owncloud takes care of syncing and I just use Joplin and KeePass on both devices and set them to use the files in owncloud folder. Never had an issue in 2 years with anything.

Technically my provider could scan my stuff, but they won’t get anything out of joplin notes or keepass.

Your idea for a setup sounds way more private, but i think for my usecase I’ve been happy since it’s so low effort and still does what I want it to do.

I have seen on lemmy people recommend syncthing (https://syncthing.net/) for keepass, which directly synchronizes a folder between devices without a middleman if you wanr. But everytime you want to sync you need to have both devices on for that as there is no automatic middleman that is always available. Maybe that could be done with a raspberry pi?

Anyway: you can easily set this up with proton if you already have proton cloud no?

Didn’t see this comment but: I trust enough my cloud provider + the database file is encrypted with the masterpassword you set for your keepass.

I also use this cloud to host my Joplin notes, which are also E2EE (joplin supports it) so even if my cloud provider would take a peek it’s all encrypted.

Nice tip, thanks! still haven’t given simpleX a try. Mostly because it was hard enough to get family and friends to move to signal :)

You can of course. I think the selling point is that you control it and it’s a single file that you can decide where you’ll keep it, how you access it, and what app you use to interact with it.

I can copy, delete, move it all without needing a service for it. Can modify it offline and everything!

I don’t host the file on a password manager dedicated cloud, it’s my own cloud space with other files I have there as well. So the file is just in my cloud space, with other files, and i have a synced folder on my phone + pc and just access that cloud folder with the file from keepassXC on my PC and keepassDX on my phone :)

For me keepass offered a single databae file that I can decide where and how I keep it. Also works offline because the cloud syncs folders and even without internet a version exists on my phones cloud folder (until it gets synced again with internet).
