Most Webbrowser Support ftp.

None of the popular web browsers support FTP. Maybe some niche browsers still do, but certainly not "most".

All this is correct, but keep in mind that you still leak domain names until ECH (encrypted client hello) is in wide-spread use. It is of course still a good idea to use encrypted DNS, just don't assume your ISP can't see which websites you are accessing.

also i am having trouble hunting down what cuesheets means in this context?

When you rip an audio CD you can either create one file for each track or you can rip the entire CD as one track and create a cue sheet file which is basically a text file describing where each track starts in that single audio file. This can be useful to have an exact copy of the CD without adding unintended gaps between tracks. It is primarily useful if you intend on recreating the actual audio CD at a later time from the ripped data. Most people don't need this.

Yeah, that's mostly because performance is so poor without it.

and that your cpu might not be able to provide enough data.

That also depends on the settings and resolution you plan on playing with. The higher the visual settings and resolution, the more demand is on the GPU. So when you plan to play on very high visual settings at a high resolution, a higher end GPU might make sense even with an older CPU.

I am pretty sure that this is not true. While Intel Arc GPUs really should be paired with a mainboard with resizable BAR for performance reasons, they will still work without it, although with pretty bad performance.

If you plan on running the laptop all the time on wall power, make sure to limit the battery charge to 80 % or less, otherwise the battery will die pretty quickly.

The worst part is that Nextcloud isn’t even really in competition with Google. Setting up a Nextcloud server isn’t hard, but it’s not a trivial task. Sharing it outside your local network also requires a bit of skill, especially if done securely. That is to say, Nextcloud users probably tend to be more tech-savvy.

That's only true for those who self-host this. There are lots of companies offering Nextcloud hosting. That's probably why Google doesn't like Nextcloud. I'm not saying Google is right. Actually what Google is doing here is quite pathetic.

Yes, using uuidgen should work fine.

Thanks for pointing this out. I thought this had to be an actual UUID. Generating a unique string of arbitrary format manually is certainly much easier to do manually without additional tools.

[–] 486@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (4 children)

This is not quite true. As I mentioned in my other comment already, each feed entry needs its own unique UUID. You have to generate such a UUID for every entry.

How do people subscribe to them?

Subscribing to an RSS feed really is nothing more than telling your RSS client about the URL to that RSS XML file. The RSS client then regularily checks the URL for changes.

If your site is hand-made as you say, you would have to manually create and update the RSS file also. This is quite a nuisance, not only because it is XML, but also because every feed entry needs its own unique UUID, which you need to create. Perhaps you could create a script that does it for you. Static site generators are usually able to automatically create an RSS feed for you.

It's World Backup Day again. Good opportunity to check if your backup mechanisms work as intended.

 

Bitwarden introduced a non-free dependency to their clients. The Bitwarden CTO tried to frame this as a bug but his explanation does not really make it any less concerning.

Perhaps it is time for alternative Bitwarden-compatible clients. An open source client that's not based on Electron would be nice. Or move to something else entirely? Are there any other client-server open source password managers?
