Tor has noscript automatically enabled no?

There's three security settings via NoScript in Tor browser. The default has JS enabled.

Disable javascript, trying to get around fingerprinting with javascript enabled is an exercise in futility, and is especially risky with something as heavily monitored as tor.

I like disabling JS myself for some web browsing but this can make fingerprinting easier because most people do enable JS, and I've read that with JS disabled certain things still can be detected through CSS files.

For web browsing i2p is still much slower for me than with Tor these days.

RHEL, Ubuntu, & Debian cover the vast majority of enterprise installs I imagine, and provide a solid testing base for developers in the Linux business software space.

Enterprises I imagine are using RHEL, Ubuntu, SUSE's SLES and Oracle Linux and probably not Debian. But that's a guess. Where can statistics and numbers be found ?

Would using a blue-tooth keyboard make sense ?

Also how to mount folders to other folders (option 2) ? (I would really appreciate a GUI way)

The CLI way syntax : ln -s source target

For example : ln -s /media/username/NTFS-folder-Downloads ~/Downloads/NTFS-folder-Downloads (Make sure to omit a trailing / if you are using command line auto suggestion completion).

If you want an answer from other readers about the GUI way : it would useful which file manager (Nautilus, Dolphin, Nemo, Caja etc.) you are using.

That looks neat and useful. It is an Android wrapper around rclone not rsync. Thanks for sharing.

EDIT: I kinda forgot to actually mention my problem. When booting nornall, I get stuck at a lonely white blinking cursor on a black screen, so startx seems to make some problems. I enter a TTY and run startx and this is what I get when running startx:

output of startx

What was the output ? It is not visible for me here.

  • Were you using startx successfully before ?
  • Or are you reverting to trying startx and you did use some graphical display manager like gdm, sddm or lightdm before ?
  • Could it be a disk space problem ? If you run out of space trouble can happen with various applications.
  • Can you boot from a previous kernel (At the GRUB or systemd boot menu) and see what happens ?

Huge news 🎉 Thanks OP for sharing.

It feels like a relief after reading earlier Lemmy comments in other posts about btrfs vs ext4 and having read this Wikipedia page paragraph :

In 2008, the principal developer of the ext3 and ext4 file systems, Theodore Ts'o, stated that although ext4 has improved features, it is not a major advance, it uses old technology, and is a stop-gap. Ts'o believes that Btrfs is the better direction because "it offers improvements in scalability, reliability, and ease of management".[29] Btrfs also has "a number of the same design ideas that reiser3/4 had".[30] 😢

Oh no, wait a minute, I overlooked the next sentence last time 😀 :

However, ext4 has continued to gain new features such as file encryption and metadata checksums.

You can look at https://joinmastodon.org/servers and then Region and see which servers are interesting for you. Besides that if you follow a lot of persons which use your language and have similar interests your local timeline can be better for you. And you can follow hashtags like for example #gardening #flowers #birds

Apart from this, the Explore option on Mastodon, no matter which servers I've tried very often is full of US content, but there's no need to use the Explore when your local timeline is interesting.

Is this a desktop computer ? Two hard disks can make things more difficult. How about taking the power cord temporarily off from the larger disk, then install, and if it's successful then turn it off and give the 2nd disk power again, and add that 2nd disk manually to the fstab as e.g. /opt/ as mount point.

:( Website of NGI :

And they appear to have a fresh Mastodon account hosted by the EU :

feddit.de has been giving "Server error" for some time but I read that the server is still working when using a Lemmy app. Tried the Photon front-end today and choosing feddit.de as instance.

My question (I'm just curious, I have no account on feddit.de) is : Can an alternative front-end on their server co-exist with the other server software ? I guess it would be a matter of installing Photon and then point nginx configuration to that. Or am I missing something crucial ?
