You apparently have little interaction with regular users because one of the top problems a non-power user has is “oops I accidentally hit delete on this important file I don’t have a backup of”.

Not saying qbittorrent-nox of all things switching makes a ton of sense but at least for desktop applications there is a very good reason why deleting things becomes a two step process.

I’ll be that guy: Use forgejo instead, its main contributor is a Non-Profit compared to Gitea’s For-Profit owners

Can’t speak for where you live but if the optician is being a, excuse the expression, little bitch about it then that is poor behaviour on their part. I have never heard of an optician refusing to hand out the measurements here.

On a slightly related note: Opticians often get the glasses made elsewhere and simply install them into the frames (at huge markup), you could try locating a glass supplier and have your glasses made by them directly (saves you a bunch of money, speaking from experience). Assuming they offer individual glasses of course.

I think you have the wrong idea about what I was referencing. I’m not talking about Cloudflare Tunnels but their Encrypted Client Hello. While Cloudflare could intercept the inital ClientHello the rest of the HTTP traffic still is encrypted between Client and Server not between Client and Cloudflare. In that sense they have not turned into more of a MitM than they (or any other DNS Nameserver) were already anyway. So unless governments decide to completely dismantle the trust chain the internet works on they won’t be forced to fuck with ECH for anti-piracy either.

But ultimately anything going over a public DNS Server is susceptible to being compromised. We simply trust that the providers don’t.

I’m sure this is definitely going to go how the regulator thinks it will go. What with Cloudflare being one of the driving factors behind e2e encrypting more and more of the HTTP stack, making it ever harder for ISPs and other 3rd parties to see inside the HTTP traffic.

The lemmy docs are all a mess. Try writing something that uses the lemmy api and you start crying because looking up the endpoints in the code tells you what it does faster than their ‘documentation’

Just my two cents but if you decide to go for the self hosted GitLab approach I think Forgejo might be a better fit. It’s not as resource intensive as GitLab is but has all of the essential features you’d need from a forge.

Tempo is a really good Navidrome Client for Android imo

Navidrome is a subsonic server, feom the cursory research I did before setting it up it is also among the best supported/developed ones available.

It’s what happens when the devs have to spend more time making sure the DRM works than actually improving the UX of the platform. Pirates/Non-DRM users don’t have that problem hence small FOSS projects can outclass big Streaming Services in UX quality.

If Gabe cares he likely already handed leadership over to allow for an interim period where he could step in and Veto any decisions he thinks are crap

For now it should work but it will have an increasing likelihood of breaking with every future Android Update.

Migrating to Mihon now is recommended, one of the devs worked on Tachiyomi and for now the code is almost identical which allows easy migration via a Tachiyomi Backup.

Migrating in the future might be more difficult because incompatibility between Tachiyomi and future versions of Mihon could mean Backups from Tachiyomi cannot be restored by Mihon.

Kakao nuked the official Tachiyomi Extension repo because they “infringe on their copyright”.

The Extension repo does not and never has offered copyrighted material, it merely facilitated access to sites that do within Tachiyomi. Essentially it was a collection of hyper specific Browsers. The repo is gone, the extensions are not (they are now in a different repo provided by a user). Tachiyomi itself allows for 3rd party repos now and everyone is mad at Kakao for making the App less usable.

they smoked their own supply is how. The management team ate the legal departments bs about how they are fighting a righteous cause here.

Nope they are only using API’s from the various hosting sources. That’s what makes this request so blatantly fraudulent. For all intents and purposes Tachiyomi is just a Browser specialized for Manga

Essentially Kakao Entertainment abused DMCA to get all extensions removed despite the Extensions themselves not containing any DMCA material. What allowed this to spiral so out of control (it started out with only Bato.to, Mangadex and Kissmanga being removed) was that the Tachiyomi devs have absolutely 0 spine and 0 will to prevent DMCA abuse. They just folded at the requests immediately without any sort objection or demand to go through GitHub instead (this approach in particular has worked in warding off false DMCA claims because that way the corporations have to somewhat publicly press their illegitimate claim, worked wonders for youtube-dl afaik)

Not surprised in the slightest. Having a doormat DMCA policy and then not even using GitHub as a shield (like youtube-dl for example) is just asking for it. The dev response doesn’t really help so I guess the App is dead. Maybe a fork will pick up the pieces but I have no trust in the main repo devs to do the right thing or work in the users interest.

If the Tachiyomi devs don’t reverse this somehow (which seems unlikely given what I’ve read about past cases of this, custom repo it is I guess) they probably just killed the app. Ubless you are aware of how to get Mangadex and bato back Tachiyomi is now a worse option than even just using your browser again for most people.

Seems like the devs even folded like wet noodles wgen they had (to my knowledge) risk free options of at least attempting to prevent this, such as demanding the dmca to be filed with GitHub (saved youtube-dl for example since their repo got reinstated after Google withdrew their claim)

This sort of non-reaction is just asking for the wolves to tear the project apart, after this any copyright holder with no leg to stand on will file claims agaonst Tachiyomi for whatever sources remain. Because why shouldn’t they? It’s a 100% success rate and they don’t even risk anything (illegally) abusing DMCA with people like this at the helm of the project.

wow what a shitshow. I’m really not well versed in who the tachiyomi devs are but just blindly following copyright notices, then only explaining firther upon prodding (with the result being a seemingly flimsy takedown request) on top of restrict8ng 3rd party addons leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Any of those individually already would bit this leaves a “trying to suck up to corpos” bad tase for me.

Edit: not sure exactly how the extensions get disabled but the two from the mentioned repo still work for me after a force stop of tachiyomi so just being an unofficial extension might not be enough to deactivate it

This is absolutely awesome, I love it already. Substreamer had some real annoying quirks but it was the least worst option I found so far, this is better in almost every way for my use case
