  • Eh, I get what you mean but I disagree.

    That is sort of saying that if someone want to learn Swedish, but since they don’t know any Swedish, it is better to start them on Norweigan first.

    If UFW had used a similar syntax to that of iptables, then it would be a decent way of doing it, but in this example I disagree with you

    UFW

    This is just my personal computer and I’m a newbie to configure firewalls

    Leave it alone.

    If you want to experiment, set up a VM and experiment there.

    Also, if you want to learn about Linux firewalls, go for iptables instead. UFW is easier, yes, but you won’t get the standard way of configuring a Linux firewall, though to be honest, unless you are directly connecting the computer to the internet, you probably won’t need to bother.

    And if you are working in an environment where you are dealing with a segmented network with limited access between segments, they will probably already use a separate firewall that is easier to manage centrally than induvidual firewalls running on individual computers




  • I have boycotted Logitech since they started pushing Logitech Download Assistant through Windows Update, as soon as you plug a Logitech device into your Windows computer you get the program Logitech Downlod Assitant that you can’t uninstall or easily stop running.

    So I got myself a Xtrfy M4 and later the Xtrfy M4 Wireless, they require zero program to configure it, it’s brilliant!

    Last week I got myself a Pulsar Xlite V3, it needs a program to configure it, but it is manually installed, require no internet connection and saves the config to the mouse.

    As for keyboards, I am a huge fan of Ducky keyboards, they just work for me.

    For my audio, I use a Röde Videomic Go II, no software needed, but Röde central is used to configure it, it acts as a soundcard that I connect my Philips X2HR Fidelio headphones to.

    It works brilliantly!


  • There is no golden rule for this, just like any social media, laws vary in different countries.

    You should block all NSFW instances and all NSFW communities on general instances if you are concerned about breaking the law, doing that shows that you are intentionally blocking content that is seen as questionable.

    My blocklist is huge, I tend to browse all, and add instances or communities to the list constantly. Most of the stuff is things I find annoying, ourt of sight, out of mind, other times it is hard NSFW and I don’t want to get porn by randomly browsing Lemmy, if that is what I am after I will use a dedicated account.

    You can also just subscribe to communities you want to read and only browse those.



  • Please remember that Webkit is based on KHTML, the browsing engine that Konqueror, the webbrowser in the KDE suite, used.

    So Apple forked KHTML, made WebKit, Safari, Chrome and loads of other browsers used it and improved it, then Google forked WebKit, and made Blink, their current browsing engine

    It looks deleted to me, I am using Voyager when I am on my phone, so a well known app, I suspect that the comment I wrote made it to the sync queue, I then immediately deleted the comment, which deleted it on lemmy.zip but didn’t clear the comment from the sync queue, but did generate a delete request to be synced.

    Then as a sync request probably would be smaller than a comment and probably has a higher priority than a comment, it got processed before the comment was posted, creating the situation we have.

    I have no indepth understanding of lemmy, but as an IT guy, this makes sense
