  • How to block Stremio peers from qBittorrent?

  • ...what? Why would it be horrible? Been using it for years, it's perfectly fine. And contrary to what this post says, Stremio does seed torrents back.

  • Dunno if other people have a faster way of finding out about potential data breaches, but for me, the original Bleeping Computer article about this showed up on my newsfeed and that's how I found out about it, followed a few hours later by other sites parroting the same news while quoting the BC article. It wasn't till I saw this post that I learned this breach is a fake, though. So, I'd say just keep an eye on your newsfeed and if you see something there, check any tech news communities and other relevant social media communities that you're a part of for the same news and for further details.

    Edit: There's also sites like Have I Been Pwned where you can put in your email and get information on every known data breach involving your email address. The site can also notify you about any new data breaches where your email showed up in the affected data.

  • The Forced Firefox Terms of Use (ToS) Clickwrap Agreement is Here

    Jump

  • I assume it's as simple as copying your profile from Firefox's profile folder (in Windows, this is in AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles) into LibreWolf's equivalent profile folder, then open about:profiles in LibreWolf and switch to the imported profile. I haven't tested this (still haven't decided on switching just yet), but I'd be surprised if it didn't work.

  • [Feature request] Hide total karma count on user profiles

    Jump

  • Lol as if a tiny visual toggle to remove a UI element from appearing in a single screen is so time and labor intensive that it's going to make it completely impossible for the developer to work on "more pressing things". If it's such a hassle to add and has no benefit, why did every other lemmy app developer add it to their apps, without anyone even needing to ask for it in the first place for that matter?

    Just because you don't see a benefit in it or refuse to doesn't mean it isn't a useful feature, otherwise it wouldn't be in any of the other apps at all. And this post is a "feature request" not a "feature demand", I didn't ask that the feature be given some kind of special attention, just put it out there that it would be useful to have. If you don't like that, move on. The post wasn't addressed to you, it was addressed to the developer, so you speaking on his behalf on what he may or may not consider a useful or time-intensive feature to add doesn't really have any value to me.

  • [Feature request] Hide total karma count on user profiles

    Jump

  • Conversely, I don’t see any downside to it. If it's added and you don't like it, then just don't use the setting. It doesn't affect you. Other lemmy apps have this setting and anyone who wants to use it uses it. No real reason for it not to be added.

    I prefer not to see karma scores, not on my profile or any other. Karma ruined reddit for me with the karma rat race that caused so many low effort posts and comments. And no, I'm not going to just never go to user profiles on account of this. If profiles weren't meant to be accessible, then they wouldn't be publicly visible at all.

  • Very good choice for a mobile browser based on Firefox. I've been using Iceraven on my phone for some years now and it's definitely better than default mobile Firefox. I'm sure you'll like it.

  • The game's exclusive early access period for purchasers of the premium edition just released. Big name streamers are playing and streaming the game. Reviews are pouring out of every game review site. On top of all that, the general release is days away. Obviously, people are gonna be talking about it.

  • What scares you most? And why exactly this?

    Jump

  • You can get the FFUpdater app from F-Droid, then use that to install Brave to your phone. But at that point, you may as well just use FFUpdater to install the much better alternative, Firefox, which doesn't indirectly support Chromium engine dominance and doesn't have that weird crypto crap Brave has.

    Edit: Someone else replied to you suggesting Mull, which is also downloadable through the FFUpdater app.

  • Best VPN with IPv6 & Port Forwarding

    Jump

  • I don't believe they've had any audits or court cases at any point. Generally, I view it as a bad thing when a VPN company gets taken to court or otherwise involved with the authorities, since it indicates they're in the crosshairs of the government and private lobbying interests, so the fact that they've gone under the radar all these years (they were established in 2010) is a plus in my opinion. I suppose a third party audit wouldn't hurt though.

    I still switched to them despite the lack of any audit though because from what I'd read on their about us page, the company was established by privacy activists and hackivists, so that was enough for me to trust them, personally. I tend to trust idealist types over finance-driven entities that run tech companies in the pursuit of profit rather than true ideals like the preservation of a free and open internet. I don't fault you for going for a higher standard than that though, at least when it comes to proof.

  • Air supports gigabit speeds if you connect through Wireguard (which you should be doing anyway since it's just plain better than OpenVPN)

  • Best VPN with IPv6 & Port Forwarding

    Jump

  • I'd recommend AirVPN. They offer IPv6 support and port forwarding. Speeds are good too. I switched to them after Mullvad removed port forwarding support and the speeds were consistent.
