The few times I've needed to man [app name] on a system without internet access or on an obscure utility, I've always been able to find what I need in the included docs

I hope the dev eventually gets sponsored, this is one of those utilities that you don't think you need until --help doesn't cut it

For anyone who doesn't have a device that natively supports this feature, there's an app on F-Droid called "Privacy Indicators" that provides this for camera and mic access. It uses the built-in Accessibility services to provide this, and needs a couple of other special permissions

You can change the color of the indicator, mine's red for more visibility.

I installed it from GitHub however, since the F-Droid build was really outdated: https://github.com/NitishGadangi/Privacy-Indicator-App

I love this 😂

I've seen the redesign too and not really sure how I feel about it 😂 there's a lot of additional whitespace and it kinds looks like a blown up mobile version of the site

Those are fake mirrors completely missing aniwave's core features: account watchlists, auto skip intro/outro, auto next, watch together, and the comments don't even work.

Wouldn't surprise me if they're missing the majority of Aniwave's library too

Edit: The search is horrifically basic too. No filters at all, seriously? The clones don't even try to compete 🤦‍♂️

Pirate websites like this usually rely on the shadier ad networks baked into these kinds of video streaming sites to make their money.

There's no financial incentive to use BitTorrent based streaming, and if they did I feel the torrents would die rapidly just due to the amount of leechers with barely any seeders to offset the ratio disparity (Unless some kind of webseed was available ?)

I recently picked up an iPhone as a secondary device, pretty much immediately disabled iCloud and installed Mobius (Syncthing) so the photos get sync'ed over to my fairphone's SD card.

Now i'm second guessing whether it's actually disabled, or if I'm going to get an iCloud full warning in a couple of months....

I use Open Camera on my device, there are some very rare instances where it shows an obscure error saying it can't find a gallery app. Most of the time though it opens Fossify Gallery just fine

I'm rooted and Google Photos was removed from my device before a single photo was taken, so never seen or heard even a peep from it

.NET runs natively on Linux

Only .NET Core sadly

When I moved my personal laptop to Linux I needed WINE to run some source-available .NET apps that were written targeting the Windows-only .NET Framework

I have to admit I'm not entirely convinced these requests are coming from a compiler...

Is it possible for you to virtualize an non-networked system with your GPU passed through? That seems like the best option IMO. Next best thing would be to set up an airgapped machine just for this, but not everyone has a 2nd machine.

Personally when I was trying out local LLMs I used a virtual machine, mainly due to the known code execution vulnerability related to Tensorflow model data being saved in python's Pickle format. I believe the recommended save method changed twice since those days though.

With the Firefox stuff I'm assuming you've also checked their enterprise config options too (which are admittedly difficult to find and piece together online), so not too sure what else you could do except aside from continuing to block them. Librewolf however provides documentation on how to disable the extra requests sent from their browser in their FAQ, and covers some preferences on the subsequent page linked at the bottom

Nothing concerning for me here personally. However, if you have an issue with Firefox's 'QoL' features dependent on Mozilla infrastructure, you could consider Librewolf instead as an alternative.

As for the reverse lookup requests, those are targeting local multicast addresses on your internal network, except the last one which is for the Fastly CDN service

And not to mention the custom control panel applets hanging around out there from who-knows-what vendors.

AMD FirePro and Catalyst users are going to probably stay on an older version of the OS, considering most of those users are going to be educational institutions, engineering workshops, makerspaces/hackerspaces etc.

Can't think of any other vendor products that integrated quite as much into the legacy control panel area
