Pika

for real. I have played dredge on PC, I didn’t even know it had a mobile variant.

I don’t get why their “top selections” aren’t given to people who navigate Gplay, it gives it a more “pay to have a spot” type deal instead of it using metrics.

ooo thats a cool website. Just for the funnies I just threw the top 35 (as shown by fediverse observer) into it.

None of those entries are installed or have even come across my google play. How are these the best lol

this entire thing has made me really rethink whether I want to swap to the new repo or not.

Why was there no communication about it. The gplay repo maintainer wasn’t informed of anything, no public notice to anyone was given, just a transfer of the repo and a status issue here explaining it.

Obviously the act is genuine as they were able to keep the original keys but like, this entire system seemed really sketchy.

I’m also not happy with the fact that it seems the first thing they added was removing checksums, but that might be a temp thing.

I also just noticed that it looks like they removed the entire public key for it, which if they had the original private keys using the existing public keys shouldn’t be an issue right?

One of my drives crippled itself a few days back, not sure what caused it. Wasn’t able to be resolved without a host restart which was unfortunate. SMART isn’t failing and has been working fine, so I’m chalking it down to a weird Proxmox bug or something.

For sure expected I was going to need to do a rollback on an entire drive after that restart though. Still may have to if it reoccurs.

I feel like experienced users is going to be people who know how to use ADB, which means that they didn’t change anything from their original statement. That’s just my concern.

for me its the god awful graphics when i go onto it. like everything seems blurry or streaky.

I believe they are replying to the article you posted in regards to the download from legit sites comment, not the fact that the sites have shit web practices (which while correct is a different thing).

To the people who didn’t read the article posted in the comment prior, basically the software installed wasn’t the legitimate software, it was a modified software that was a trojan that was forwarding passwords stored in the keepass database to a home server.

That’s not something that the sites are going wrong, nor is it the password managers fault. That’s fully the users fault for downloading a trojan.

Keepass does a pretty decent job. I have keepassXC on my Windows, Debian and Android devices. On Android it’s integrated into the phone(and the autofill service if actual 2fa isn’t supported on the app) so it works on every application. With IOS though I know they can be a stickler on anything remotely technical so I’m not sure if something similar exists with it. I also use syncthing as the service to make sure the same copy of the database is on each device to prevent having to use a password manager that requires a subscription for a cloud service, this also minimizes my risk factor of a cloud service being compromised.

I have Proxmox Backup Server backing up to an external drive nightly, and then about every 2 or 3 weeks also backup to a cold storage which I store offsite. (this is bad practice I know but I have enough redundancies in place of personal data that I’m ok with it).

For critical info like my personal data I have a sync-thing that is syncing to 3 devices, so for personal info I have roughly 4 copies(across different devices) + the PBS + potentially dated offsite.

despite recommendations, I run PBS along side the standard server barebone. I don’t store the backups on the same system they are stored to an external drive (which gets an offline copy every once and awhile) but I don’t like the idea of having PBS in a virtual environment, it’s just another layer that could go wrong in a restore process.

he currently has an adblocker (ublock unless hes replaced or disabled it) and a pihole setup to filter DNS, but that only works so well with facebook.

don’t get me started on their malicious ads system. My grandfather calls me AT LEAST once a week because he clicks one of the posts on facebook and it brings him to a “your computer has a virus please call this number” scare page. I basically have had to tell him “if it says sponsored just don’t click it” because Meta has like no vetting system it seems.

However, Google can still take a service fee on transactions completed with alternative payment methods. For in-app and linked purchases in games, Google can charge a fee of up to 20% for purchases that “impact game outcomes, gameplay progress rate, or player power,” as well as for purchases with “random outcomes” (i.e., loot boxes).

What the hell even was the point then for Epic fighting this. “Oh yea you can use an alternate store and use an alternate payment system, FYI we are still charging you the google service fee”

Like sure 20% is less than 30% but like, google isn’t involved the number should be 0%

Also the fact that google required a time-frame(3 years) on how long it has to be before they are allowed to pay other stores to not put their store on the device… I feel like Epic’s entire fight was just a way to piss money away, only thing it really accomplished was a fake image of software freedom and a control to add even more restrictions in place.

I never knew this SE was even a thing.

this is me as well. I’m the /only/ person in my town that updates data on OSM, and if you leave the area its just a void of nothingness. Outside of the automatic survey info that gets added its a ghosttown.

I want to like OSM but, between the crappy UI on all the apps, and the lack of information, I couldn’t do it.

the irony that it can be jailbroken by modifying the ads is funny. Sadly I expect this to be a super easy patch on Amazons part so if you have the device probally should do this fast lol

the implication of that is weird to me. I’m not saying that the horse is wrong, but thats such a non-standard solution. That’s implementing a CGNAT restriction without the benefits of CGNAT. They would need to only allow internal to external connections unless the connection was already established. How does standard communication still function if it was that way, I know that would break protocols like basic UDP, since that uses a fire and forget without internal prompting.

this might be my next project. I need uptime management for my services, my VPN likes to randomly kill itself.
