I use native packages wherever possible, then flatpak’s after that, and then aur pretty much only for things that don’t run well in flatpaks. I really don’t want to have to look through 50 different pkgbuilds every time there’s an update and the downsides to flatpaks are, I believe, largely overstated

Way back in the Reddit days I used to upvote everything I interacted with and liked or thought was contributing to the conversation.

After the API drama I deleted my account, but I still browsed Reddit anonymously for a while before joining Lemmy. Obviously that meant I couldn’t upvote anything. Unfortunately, I think those habits kinda transferred to my Lemmy account and these days I barely upvote anything and downvote a lot of things I disagree with.

I need to put in the effort to relearn both upvoting things in general and upvoting things I disagree with that are contributing to the conversation. It’s just really annoying to have to do that for every post and comment

This doesn’t seem like it’s too hard

Wikipedia should have never linked there? There are legitimate reasons it has been used over archive.org presented in this very thread and multiple link archivers is definitely a good thing so I disagree that it should never have been linked to.

For the second point you can make the opposite claim using the same evidence: the admin has almost certainly had the ability to edit pages that have been archived to their site but does not appear to have done so, making them trustworthy. The fact that they are using it as a botnet does not mean that the information is incorrect and certainly not without a single doubt.

With that kind of usage you may get banned so just watch out.

That said, I agree that windscribe is great. If your usage is less than say 10tb per month you’re probably fine. I regularly do a couple terabytes and no problems. Plus they have port forwarding, and even port forwarding without a static ip

Could you theoretically do actual research on new techniques for doing ancient things? Like if in the comic the man actually did find a way to use copper and it was realistic for stone-age people
