And there is me using a 2019 (dying) device which I heat up with a termux command to get it back in working state 😁

For the curious the device is a Poco F2 Pro, known for IMEI and charging flex issues, the termux command I use to bring alive my IMEI, Wifi and USB data transfers is:

for i in $(seq 1 32); do sh -c ‘while :; do a=$((a+1)); done’ & done; for i in $(seq 1 32); do yes > /dev/null & done

This paired with fast charge will heat the SOC and make it work like the 1st day without an issue lol.

I have never had a Motorola smartphone… But Canta is a thing :)

Yeah perhaps, we are here on Lemmy after all, which I consider a Reddit alternative, but with YouTube the thing is different because we follow individuals, and here we follow subjects, hopefully somebody can truly stand out against Google in the video field, a movement big enough to motivate content creators to check it out, the last thing I hear was about Odysee, which I think is a step in the right direction.

Remember the Howarts Legacy situation?

Did the boycott really hurt them?

Also there is an old saying that goes by “there is no such thing as bad publicity”.

Yes, that one.

Yes they are, some from the very conception of YouTube perhaps, but they are not real alternatives a real alternative would be one where all your subscriptions also upload the same content there, it is totally not YT based and you get the same or similar ecosystem Google provides, I don’t think too many channels fit this.

That’s fine, still YouTube at its core though.

Toy Story 2 for PS1, it hasn’t aged at all, and it looks better than the praised MGS (silly comparison, and graphic style helps the Disney game, but I have never seen praises to that title regarding that field, also I played Toy Story as a kid and MGS as a grown up, that’s why I brought this) change my mind.

Fuck this place

Are you implying you don’t use YT at all? Or you use it and choose to be unhappy with it?

Just curious, I often get mad because they need to censor words, but not to the degrees to say 'fuck this place" and move to the other (unborn) alternative.

lol, yeah, that’ll teach her.

I guess so, my previous ISP also gave me IPv6 address (I could navigate using it) but I could never access my NAS services with it from an IPv6 ready network, I thought it would be the same with the newer ISP, but nope.

Maybe some firewall is active by the ISP? I could not do much thinker back then as I used the stock modem (router) and it was heavily locked.

I usually have IPv6 access in my home, on the outside it varies from the ISPs :/

Yeah, don’t get me wrong, I can see value of getting a VPS, especially if you are gonna be using it for some other projects, I have had a DO instance in the past and I thinkered with WG back then BTW, but if it is only for remote accessing your home LAN, I don’t feel like paying for it tbh, especially when some users get it for free (public IPv4) and it feels even dumber for me since I have a fully working IPv6 setup!

BTW my ISP is funny, no firewall at all with it, I almost fainted when I noticed everyone could access my self hosted services with the IPv6 address and I did nothing regarding ports or whatsoever… They were fully accessible once I fired up the projects! I think I read an article about this subject… But I can’t recall when or where… I had to manually set up a firewall, which tbh, you always should do and it is especially easy to do in a Synology NAS.

Anyway, back to the mesh VPN part, if they enshitify so be it, but in the meantime we still can benefit from it.

WG is worthless in a CGNAT environment… And as we are in 2025 and time doesn’t stop it will be irrelevant for everyone someday, unless they fully support IPv6 (which I don’t know if they do, if you can use WG in a CGNATED network with IPv6 I’d like to know though, I am very rusty setting it up, but it might worth checking it out).

I mainly use Tailscale (and Zerotier) to access my CGNATED LAN, headscale will require me to pay a subscription for a VPS wouldn’t it?

I really envy the guys who say only use them because they’re lazy to open ports or want a more secure approach, I use them because I NEED them lol.

If (when?) Tailscale enshitify I’ll stick with ZT a bit until it goes the same way lol, I started using it 1st, I don’t know if ZT came before Tailscale though.

Disappearing scroll bars

Isn’t this triggable in most OSs? Unless we are talking about mobile, which I lean towards disappearing because of screen sizes.

Somebody must do a Trakt or (Mdblsit) of the titles mentioned here, I am honestly interested in catching up with this backlog lol.

If you skip the credits, you can watch all of it in less than 24 hours.

LMAO, any Tremors fan around here?

Does that actually work? I have only played the 1st 20 minutes of Monkey Island lol

I’ll start: “Happy Death Day”

Wait, I didn’t know Re:Zero had a live action!
