But from the server logs it doesn’t seem like many people use RSS.

I don’t think many people use RSS as is, but it is surprisingly common for someone to run a bot that takes an RSS feed and post it in a chat channel or so. This obviously hides the actual usage numbers a bit.

False advertisement is never ok.

A user configurable “hardware” privacy switch is a contradiction in itself. If it can be controlled by software it can’t do what the marketing claims 🤦

Otherwise, Mediatek soc… likely riddled by binary blob drivers and bad mainline kernel support, but lets see.

Don’t look online, ask friends and family if someone has an old laptop you can get for free. Very likely someone does, especially if you are ok with a bad battery and/or a broken screen.

A RPi3 can work, but it being ARM based will cause various headaches when learning compared to something x86.

Typically a video-chat server does no transcoding so this isn’t a major issue. But for hosting a Peertube or Owncast server it would.

The old A/V chats in Matrix were just Jitsi-meet in disguise, but this has been largely deprechiated now with Element Calls.

Bitcoin and Ethereum only have liquidity in the market because scammers use it for their pig butchering etc. scams. And all the major exchanges are complicit in that. Many Banks are scammy, yes, but not that scammy by a long shot. Sorry to burst your bubble 🤷

https://movim.eu/ can do that AFAIK, but for now the A/V calls don’t go through an SFU distribution server (coming soonish), so it will not scale to many participants. But if you want to only stream to a few people (like max. 5 or so, depends a bit on your and their internet speed) it should work.

If 99.9% of PCs were solely made to steal your credit card info, then yes.

I have high hopes for GNU Taler in that regard, as it is in theory super easy to include in any website and makes tipping small sums very feasible.

But in reality it is bogged down by bureocractic hurdles on the banking side, and I am starting to lose a bit of hope due to perpetual delays even after some banks promised to support it as part of an EU grant via Nlnet.

Open minded to being scammed? No thanks.

Lol, wat? I have not seen Anubis even once in front of a static page. You are either making shit up or don’t understand what a static site is 🤦

Well… you found your problem then. It is neither my problem, nor a problem of apartments in general 🤷

Eh, we are talking about DHH, a really shitty company CEO, multi-millionaire, and open white supremist. He is very much part of “the man” and worth fighting.

DSub2000 is also fairly nice for Android.

Many apartments are owned by the inhabitants or are cooperatively managed.

That is a silly assumption, like why would you assume the worst possible setup? And it would be much easier to talk to the person managing the apartment internet than having to deal with some AI chatbot that pretends to be the support at some shitty ISP.

Obviously I don’t think you need Anubis for a static site. And if that is what your admin experience is limited too, than you have a strong case of dunning krueger.

No one is disputing that in theory (!) Anubis offers very little protection against an adversary that specifically tries to circumvent it, but we are dealing with an elephant in the porcelain shop kind of situation. The AI companies simply don’t care if they kill off small independently hosted web-applications with their scraping and Anubis is the mouse that is currently sufficient to make them back off.

And no, forced site reloads are extremely disruptive for web-applications and often force a lot of extra load for re-authentication etc. It is not as easy as you make it sound.

You clearly don’t know what you are talking about.
