(Just hopefully not Nord VPN)

Well shit, that does make sense.

The Oxford comma is the difference between helping my uncle Jack, off his horse and helping my uncle Jack off his horse.

+1 for air VPN, using it as well.

Check out revolt chat. It’s an attempt to make a Foss clone of discord.

Sure, i2p or the invisible internet project is a FOSS project which acts as an anonymous network anyone can potentially access, and host on.

It does this by creating end to end encrypted peer to peer tunnels between its users and then sending data through itself via a path between some of the 50,000+ volunteers that make up the project. The path data takes is random so a third party seeing any communication in full is highly unlikely, and even at that, its still encrypted.

The software that implements this is the i2p router, and when using the i2p router you become a node on the network like everyone else using it, allowing pieces of anyone’s data to move through your router, just as your data moves through theirs.

The UX/UI is very good for new users and makes it easy to access, or host. Particularly, to my understanding, i2p is also very popular for torrenting due to the nature of how it works (in comparison to similar projects such as tor, there is an entire built in solution for torrenting included with i2p).

Similar in some ways different in others, actually surprisingly fast for what it does though and I find the user experience a lot nicer than tor.

Nothing can really kill reddit, but as far as content goes I expect it will follow the same path facebook did where the only people who eventually really interact on it will be conspiracy theorists and moms.

I had this happen to someone I mentor and pointed out that they had two versions of the same file in two different paths named the same. They were running the version in the other path than they were editing lol.

True.

Lol, the user doesn’t seem to realize that if everywhere you go and comment, if absolutely everyone is an asshole, then maybe it’s you that’s the problem…

Used to do outsourced IT for a lot of different companies including some large law firms.

Literally had one asshole lawyer put in tickets every time which consisted of something like:

“There’s something wrong on my computer. I’ll be away from my desk from 6:22 to 6:27, have it fixed by the time I get back.”

Queue nothing getting fixed and this removed trying to leverage that as a reason why their law firm of 250 people didn’t need IT services.

I did, completely. I don’t spend as much time on Lemmy as I used to on Reddit, but I net more enjoyment out of the experience.

Definitely. Everyone on Lemmy at this time seems very reasonable as well and I am finding that the discussion is typically of a much higher quality than on Reddit, so for those who don’t usually engage, try it, it’s definitely worth a shot here.
