A question about secure chats
  • Cybersec researcher here. The content of your chat is encrypted end to end. Their servers can't read what you write. This is because they use the same protocol as signal, x3dh and double ratchet. However, they can and will collect everything else. Contact info, for example, phone, etc

  • Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode
  • We got to be mature. Microsoft (and many other corporations) are a problem due to their unfair practices. But this is not a moral war against them, when we are not the problem. If we have vscodium, which is opensource and it has telemetry removed, which is the problem?

    I would be happy if they didn't made the internet a worse place, if they weren't greedy billionaire assholes, if they didn't have a monopoly, but vscode does not affect my sleep.

  • Spam communities being created by user LMAO
  • I don't know if it is possible, but I suspect there is an automated way to do it. Imagine you are using a client like thunder or liftoff. The "Create community" button is linked to an access point to the Lemmy API. If you know how to do it, you can DoS the instance. At the very least, you annoy the rest of the users.

  • What's your opinion on Snap/Flatpak, and why?
  • I prefer flatpaks over snap, of course. I like using native packages, but I can definitely see the advantage in terms of dependencies, isolation and immutable systems, and they will probably be the future.

  • Ender-3 V2 3D Printer, Is it any good?
  • I see. That is quite generous from him. Including it in the price, I mean. I dont know how old the laptop is, though.

    I am not sure if you both want that, but if you prefer Marlin and if he wants to keep the laptop, Marlin can be reinstalled.

  • Ender-3 V2 3D Printer, Is it any good?
  • Oh, trust me, it is huge. I will try to write just a summary. Normal/old/entrylevel printers use Marlin. It is a firmware that understands the code and executes movements. Klipper is a new firmware that runs mostly on high tier new machines OR any other old/normal/entrylevel printer only if you have an extra board. This is a critical difference. Marlin runs on your printer. But klipper runs on two different parts: your printer and an external board. Why? The printer has a simple electronic chip, it is limited. The external board can be a Raspberry Pi, an old phone, etc. This allows Klipper to calculate much more faster. And what is the advantage of having more powerful hardware? That there are some advanced settings and things you can only do if you have Klipper.

    So, regarding you, a new user: Klipper is more advanced than Marlin. This means, it can be trickier but also offer higher quality. And most importantly, it usually requires having another device connected. Is that device included?

  • Ender-3 V2 3D Printer, Is it any good?
  • I read the comment about the price. As they say, the baseline is usually 200€/$. So, it depends. The upgrades are quite nice, definitely. You say it has Klipper installed. But I wonder if they include the extra board. Klipper is a huge point here.

    So, if it is in a good state (since it is second hand), I think it is a nice price.

    However, the Klipper thing has me interested.
