Same experience

Oh , that’s cute this spammer thinks there must be an [email protected] etc

Only other downside I could think if is when my catch all cant be used to send a mail or reply.

So I do use them a lot for suppliers en services, but for registering initially and password reset. But I can’t use it to contact support by mail.

Mostly I rely on forms or self service portals when I need it as a customer.

Ouch … I hope I smell them from a mile away … and change course.

As a #2 person, when my level-of-current-knowledge hits a ceiling and I ask for technical advice in forums or lemmy or even social media, it often comes from a #1 person.

Assuming its specialized knowledge few other #2 have.

Half the time I get an answer (about what and how) AND background explanation (giving context and WHY).

But half the other time a #1 doesnt realize easy things for them are hard for me. When they are miles ahead their answer assumes I have a host of other skills already in place. But I dont know what I don’t know so I dont ask for them.

But … every answer from a helpfull stranger is appreciated. Just bridging knowledge is hard.

Is “choosing which files and folders” an upfront configuration thing, or does it happen “on the fly” when opening a file?

It’s a type of integration with local file handling:

• you see every folder and file in explorer / finder.
• they are just filenames but without the data
• they act normal and can be copy pasted renamed etc
• the moment a file is opened the first time, the data gets synced locally.

I use it to connect to rather large folders (bigger then my SSD) because it only takes up space of the files in use.

I deleted my comments seeing the ending side note about NC.

Does the MacOS NC app do files-on-demand?

For example, because its autocorrect in a multi-language setting is pretty bad (autocorrecting wrong language even if its manually switched).

Was wondering…

If I would invest $10 a month … How many computing power I could get … For an Adnauseam-As-A-Service server … And how many ad-budget that would vaporize?

Would it make $100, $1000 or more ad budget worthless?

Just curious what the numbers would be?

One of the few times I miss Files-on-demand for Win11. Connect an Office365 library with 500 GB to my laptop with an 128 GB harddrive. Integrates with file explorer, only caches local what you open, after a while you can “free space”, meaning deleting local cache version. NextCloud has the same on Win11 because its an OS feature.

Did you over engineer? Yes! Also: this is very cool!!

And the “we play nice” respons of IAB: https://iabeurope.eu/iab-europe-tcf-and-noybs-war-on-cookie-banners/

Yes https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/04/noyb-second-cookie-complaints/

4. It’s not gdpr compliant in the way shown here or IAB TCF uses it.

Legitimate interest is a sort failsafe which can be used to cover certain exceptions.

• the datacontrollor must have an exceptional situation, so not on a regular basis.
• the balance between personal and business interest must be considered carefully under case by case basis.
• the dataprocessor isn’t the one doing the consideration

Automating all this is kind off against all the above.

For my family my setup slightly different for reasons in other comments:

• do change browsers away from Chrome or Edge
• do change search engines
• allow cookies
• drop tracking surveillance traffic at the network level with something like pihole or nextdns

Cwtch

https://cwtch.im/

Decentralized and Open

Participants in Cwtch can host their own safe spaces, or lend their infrastructure to others seeking a safe space. There is no “Cwtch service” or “Cwtch network”. The Cwtch protocol is open, and anyone is free to build bots, services and user interfaces and integrate and interact with Cwtch. Privacy Preserving

All communication in Cwtch is end-to-end encrypted and takes place over Tor v3 onion services. Metadata Resistant

Cwtch has been designed such that no information is exchanged or available to anyone without their explicit consent, including on-the-wire messages and protocol metadata.

To illustrate even more: I follow a Lemmy privacy “group” with an Akkoma account.

Fair point, done!
