was duplicate

if it is signed by a key used in public repos of the commiter, or otherwise known to possess the key, that is proof, yes

I think copyparty can handle partial transfers both ways

unencrypted, unauthenticated, unverified, and not just hard but impossible on phones.

I’m not sure that’s needed, but the firewall on your PC is likely to be blocking the connection by default

why another wifi standard? we already have wifi adhoc mode, and at least 2 different wifi directs. why couldn’t they just build upon that?

btw localsend has some plans for supporting google’s somewhat common but proprietary quickshare functionality, but it seems the app hasn’t received an update in almost a year

but it’s still an alternative insofar as two people can transfer files to each other

after painfully figuring out (or not) how to make a hotspot with a somewhat secure password and get the other phone to connect to it.

thanks! also, I think as things are now, it’s fine to keep using lemmy for your server. but keep in mind that in the future they could implement features that are not for the benefit of your community. anything can be reverted with some custom development, but you may not want that.

there are some lemmy instances that are planning a switch to piefed, with a database migration so that existing content and users are kept. the one I use is among them.
updates to lemmy can make such a migration harder in the future, even unintentionally.

set the fs watcher delay to something small in the advancdd folder settings in syncthing.

they recommend people to donate to lemmy devs in the reddit post, though.

I am not blaming them, they probably didn’t know it, but it’s worth mentioning.

the commiter name in the repo is not ironclad proof, anyone can upload commits to their repo in Linus Torvalds’ name. but github probably has the capabilities to find out who was the original uploader of the commit, or what was the upstream repo of a fork

oh that’s good to know, thanks!

Tracker-free? There’s literally no way anyone could track you through RSS. It’s just an XML file and can’t run any arbitrary code.

there is actually. the user agent string, ip address, when do the images get loaded. if clients can user server provided CSS, that too can do some conditional reports. but yes the possibilities are much fewer, they are easier to fix.

but it is more likely that if you download something, it’ll be huge or multiple

not apps, but in firefox you can log in with multiple accounts. if you install the multi account containers addon the menu will appear for creating containers for them. the feature is native to firefox, it’s just the buttons for it they left for an addon for some reason.

if you can’t trust your phone with not emitting beacon sounds all the time, that’s a problem. not with you, but with the phone.

I don’t know if google mobile services does it, butbother apps, including pre-installed ones could also do that. your best bet may be a relatively popular custom android rom, without google services but microg is fine), or banishing the “consumer” and mainstream social apps to the work profile on your phone, which you set up to automatically kill its apps when not in use.

well Instagram is serious about ratelimits

I have never heard anyone refer to TV as social media, I have always heard it in context with facebook, twitter and co.

a better objection, which makes me uncertain whether lemmy is social media, is that this is a pseudonymous forum where its not common for users to become friends or know each other, and discussion is not around a specific news site or a specific person, but around specific topics
