Germany - 20€/month, 100GB of 5G data in Germany and all of Europe, unlimited calls and texts, roaming to Switzerland is not included though

Good point! And Docker. Also: Encryption software

As a base: The Linux kernel source, GNU software sources and compiler binaries so I can - in theory - write missing software myself. For convenience probably some stable, offline-installable, ready to use distros.

I would probably also archive sources and binaries of day-to-day software like web-browsers (I might still have an intranet to use), office tools, photo management software, audio/video players and all the codecs, etc.

I think that’s a solid starting point but im sure I’m missing something important :D

That depends on a couple of things:

If you have a separate partition for /home (your personal data) it is pretty easy since you can reinstall the system, leave /home untouched during installation and just configure it to be used as /home in your new setup.

This does not work if you either do not have a separate /home partition or you encrypt your system via LUKS.

It technically still is possible in the aforementioned cases but involves expert knowledge and probably a lot of manual steps which I’d say for you and me it probably is impractical.

Games such as The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and Pokemon Scarlet & Violet are getting totally free upgrades, too.

Not sure what upgrade I can expect from Pokémon though. Now we can enjoy 20fps in 4K

You found the words I didn’t find. Sometimes it’s good to just write down all of your thought I guess.

When Russia invaded Ukraine… It may sound like the first thing that came to my mind but for a few days I thought Russia would attack my country as well. Before, I was feeling very safe in my country.

Of course that’s only the direct impact on me personally. Let’s not forget how Ukrainians feel

Omg yes, I absolutely fell in love with Kao Soi! We went hiking in the jungle when we were near Chiang Mai - some of the most beautiful nature I’ve ever seen (I’ve not been to a lot of places in south/east Asia, though).

I’m currently using Mlem on my iPhone. It recently got updated to version 2.0 and this made it a much better experience than before. Plus it’s a native app which I personally like.

You don’t get the point, do you? I know I can block those, yet it’s hypocritical to complain about privacy and tracking in an article while doing the same. It’s not even the fact they use cookies at all, I get they might need them for analytics and such. But this site is out of control

Meanwhile the linked website is full of intrusive ads and hundreds of “legitimate interest” tracking cookies. Oh the irony…

Agreed. But as long as people don’t actively leave Lemmy in favor of the new service I’d be okay with it I guess. I mean it would still be cool if Lemmy grew larger but hey, we got a nice little community here

Well that’s kind of rewarding indeed :D

I’d seriously consider quitting my job if my managers sabotaged work like that

Not sure what the hardest was for me but Scarlet/Violet have by far been the easiest for me. There was literally no challenge at all.

Looks good! 🤩

One example that I think is a step backward: "Search term persistence ". I don’t want this, I want to be able to see the URL I’m visiting. I think I’m able to remember what my search was. This UX “improvement” doesn’t add any value at all, it straight up removes value.

To be fair, there are features I like, though: Moving the search buttons into a separate menu is a good choice if you ask me.

Also, this all is highly subjective.

Ahh that makes sense - thanks!

Genuine question: How can an ISP detect that someone is downloading illegal material if the actual content is encrypted using SSL/TLS? Is it all approximated based on the domains/IPs and the amount of data that is sent? If they can’t tell with a 100% certainty, can it be used as proof when trialed in court?
