Who would have guessed that the advertising company collects a lot of data
The Dev is implementing a local only mode for the next version. It can be downloaded from the Nightly-Builds Repo if you want to try it.
This is the link to the nightly-builds: https://github.com/libre-tube/NightlyBuilds
Be aware that it is a Debug-Build so it will be a bit laggy
Looks like a custom painting in minecraft
Isnt proton.me their real url, or does it lead you somewhere else when you click it?
Signal uses 2% a day and Element 1%. I do not really think this is significant.
Depends on the App but generally no.
It depends for what Apps you need them. Often Apps like Signal or Element support getting Notifications via a persistent Server connection or asking every so often for Notifications. Even tho i could not find any source, i found that this works with Whatsapp(sadly have to use it) too.

See the response of @cabbage.
It is a Browser Engine. This: https://servo.org/
There is also Ladybird: https://ladybird.org/
Everything is really bad. But sadly it is nearly impossible to buy a normal TV these days. Just buy any SmartTV, and get yourself a MiniPC with the Linux Distro of your liking.
For anybody having trouble with K-9 Mail and Thunderbird being in the same Release section, add this to Filter APKs by Regular Expression:
To get only Thunderbird Updates: ^thunderbird-.*apk$
To get only K-9 Mail Updates: ^k9-.*apk$
It works with Graphene now.
It does work on the Pixel 9 Generation and even on the Pixel Fold 9 and Pixel Tab.
Since i use Arch everything actually worked. Scary.
Remove Modem/SimCard from a Car
I want to buy a new car, but it needs to be privacy friendly. Sadly you cannot really buy any new Car that is.
Has anybody any experience on making your modern car not phone home to its company, by removing the hardware it uses to do?

Eaton UPS shuts off for 1 second when NAS is connected via USB
I bought a Eaton Ellipse Eco 650 USB DIN for my Homelab. I connected it to my nas which is running OpenMediaVault because OMV has a NUT Plugin. I conneced it, it got recognised and i thought i should test it. So i switched the breaker off and my nas turned off safely after my entered time. I then went to turn the breaker back on, but after a few seconds the ups shuts the power off all devices and applies it after a second. This only happens when the nas is connected via usb.
- is there a setting that i missed in nut?
- is my ups broken (i dont think so)
- what could be the problem?
Edit: Wow, the Eaton Germany Support is terrible. I called them multiple times and i think they dont even have a Call Center. I now submitted a Support Ticket. They could at least tell you that they dont have telephone support right now. If i get a response i will update this.
Edit2: It turns out, it was a issue with the integrated nut tools in OpenMediaVault. After removing them and installing them vi
When will it be OpenSource?
I am sorry if this has been asked before, but when or will it be open sourced. It is the best Lemmy Client i have used yet but i dont like anything being closed source and i read somewhere the dev wants to open source it at some point. Just interested if there is an estimate.
Are these numbers really true?
Is this Total User Counter true? It seems kind of wrong because the Graph is only at 300k and i cannot imagine that we grew 200k people in the last 4 hours.
