  • I actually feel this is gonna make it harder for people to find out about the change, having something suddenly disappear from your feed is less visible than having reminders when you click on a new post.

    At the same time, cosidering the .org one is new, not a lot of servers/instances will have the community federated, so it will not appear even in the All feed for people, especially in the small ones.

    For those reasons I would advice for a transition period, if possible, but I can see how it could be annoying to manage.

    Considering you are not using the Flatpak anymore it is, indeed, strange. The only reasons I can think of are: your network manager is using the wrong network interface to route your traffic ( if you go on an ip checking site like for example ipinfo do you see yours or the VPN’s IP?) or that you have WebRTC enabled and the broadcaster is getting your real ip through that.

    For the first case it can get pretty complicated, but it is probably an error during the installation of the VPN app or you set up multiple network managers and it gets confused on which one to configure. You should also enable the Advanced Kill Switch in the configuration.

    For the second case you could try adding something like the Disable WebRTC add-on for firefox and check if it works. Remember to enable it for Private Windows too.

    The last thing I can think of is that you allowed the broadcaster to get your real geolocation (in firefox it should be a small icon on the left of the address bar), or you are leaking some kind of information somewhere: there are a bunch of site that check for ip leak, but I don’t know if that goes too deep for you.
    If you want to check anyway the first two results from DDG are browserleaks and ipleak. Mullvad offered one too but it is currently down.

    EDIT: If you enable the Advanced Kill Switch, and the app is working correctly, internet will not work while you are not connected to a VPN server or until you disable the switch again, so pay attention to that.








  • Because, as pointed in the page, Servo is being developed as a(n embeddable) Rendering Engine, not as a full blown end user Browser.
    Its alternatives are not Chrome, Safari or Firefox, but Webkit, Blink and Gecko

    There’s an example GUI called Servoshell, but it is more of a testing ground and example on how to embed the engine in an app than a serious alternative to anything currently in the market.

    Already this kind of work is difficult and daunting. Adding to it a full GUI would make it completely impossible for the current size and financial backing Servo has.

    Big words aside it just means that Servo wants to be only one of the parts that compose a real browser: the one that takes HTML, Javascript, WASM and translates them into the things you see on your monitor. All the user facing functionality are left to the devs of the app that embed it.


  • I like the idea of 24 years plus the possibility of an extension with a fee, or proof of activity, for another 12 years if the owner is a person.

    If, at any point, the rights are sold, passed, or the owner is not a person (but for example a corporation or association) it should last 12 years from that time with an extension of 6, so the ability to sell your idea or give it to your spawns for a soft landing is not destroyed, but it can not be abused.

    To further avoid abuse if it has already been extended before being sold it should last only 6 years without possibility of extension. So at most it would be 42 years for active and valuable things.

    EDIT: To clarify, if it gets sold multiple times, the “timer” shouldn’t be reset but keep ticking down from the date of the first transaction, or it would open the door to accounting shenanigans just to keep it alive and locked.



  • Probably I’m misreading it, but isn’t this kind of answer basically saying “google it”?

    I don’t want to sound rude, but my english is kind of failing me, I’m just curious, but what’s the point?

    One of the reasons of this kind of public forum is to share knowledge and experiences. ChatGPT is a closed, private, garden where the answer will just die.

    I could get a “I don’t really know the answer but I used ChatGPT and it gave me this:” followed by a script, or something like that.

    I know, this is off-topic and I’m sorry, I’m just really interested in Why, considering it’s said multiple times in this comment section.
