Just use the 1.1.1.1 app, or on your computer (or router) change the DNS to 1.1.1.1

Indonesia is soft blocking via DNS only, very easy to bypass.

Do yourself a favor and block this trash AI news aggregator, they provide no value.

[-] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 70 points 1 year ago

No, they are garbage. I block every single one I come across. Else Lemmy is nothing but an echo chamber.

[-] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 70 points 1 year ago

That really depends on the cat. Mine don't care whatsoever.

[-] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 60 points 1 year ago

Agree. When my DVD player back in 2000 came with a bright blue power-on LED, that crap started to bother me. Sitting right under the TV, so watching anything in a darkened room means I had that fucker blinding me all the time. Nothing a little duct tape can't fix, but that's not exactly helping.

Ever since I've been actively avoiding devices where I can't dim & disable the LEDs.

The cracked Sync app is going strong. They patched reddit official's api key into the apk, and also modified the app ID and browser agent to reflect the official one. They practically can't tell the traffic apart, so NSFW and everything is fully functional.

This has been discussed in the official reddit sync discord and the original dev, being the champ he is, even contributed to it.

Sync for Lemmy is also on the way. I never used Boost so can't tell how it compares to Sync, but I used it for >12 years and was always super happy.

Might as well plug the new /c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world here, I guess.

Unbedingt benötigte Apps? (latte.isnot.coffee)

Moin!

Bin zwar Deutscher aber wohne schon seit 17 Jahren im Ausland. In den letzten 5 Jahren war ich gar nicht mehr zurück, von einer kurzen Dienstreise mal abgesehen, wo ich aber nix privat unternommen hab.

Jetzt werd ich aber nächste Woche endlich mal wieder privater Natur zurückkommen, und mit meiner Frau, die noch nie in der EU war, unter anderem auch DE bereisen.

Gibt es insbesondere seit covid neue must-have apps?

Danke!

So I'm actually German but haven't been back home in 5+ years, except for a short business trip where I didn't really do all that much.

Now I'm going back for a few weeks almost exclusively for touristy purposes (my wife has never been to the EU), and I'm wondering what's really changed / what is considered must-haves these days?

Ich wohne in China, 380km/h ist durchschnittliche Reisegeschwindigkeit. So komme ich in 3,5h von Shanghai nach Peking - der Flieger braucht knapp 1,5h - aber mit check-in und allem ist die Zeit ungefähr vergleichbar. Mit den hohen Geschwindigkeiten wird absolut versucht, Flüge bloß auf echten Langstrecken (auch im Inland) zu nutzen.

Many are functionally better and of course don't have any ads, but often look utterly terrible, unfortunately.

Only tangentially related to China, but since most users will have Astrill, I thought I might as well check with you.

Since this morning I can only see a bunch of US servers, plus a handful of EU ones - it's like the list was cut down by 50% or more. And the remaining servers are all not-starred, i.e. don't permit torrents.

Stealth got all the options still, but using stealth on mobile somehow blocks wechat (despite smart mode being enabled), and that sucks.

Could someone confirm my observation before I open a ticket with Astrill?

Edit: On Desktop (Windows) I still get all servers in OpenWEB.

Edit 2: The servers appear to be mostly back, but are now missing the star marking them to be torrent accessible.

Just purge reddit from your mind and be done with it.

[-] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 34 points 1 year ago

I assume you are trolling, but I have indeed been to Tiananmen square, and will go to Xinjiang in October. My wife is Chinese, and her cousin works there.

Gift idea? (latte.isnot.coffee)

Hi all,

Currently looking for a gift for someone who actively enjoys capsule coffee and won't deviate from this disgraceful life choice.

So now I want to gift him something coffee related without being (a) capsules or (b) an alternative coffee maker.

Other than the usual (milk foamer, cups, literature), do you have any creative ideas?

Any quick questions that don't justify their own thread? Post them here!

[-] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 38 points 1 year ago

So I read the whole thing, and it sounds like highly opinionated ramblings of one individual I never heard of, with a catchy headline to rank high in current search trends.

This "here is why" bullshit was first used by Buzzfeed and other cringe clickbait generators and should be avoided like the plague.

I just can't wait to get the first working version on my phone. Literally grinning like an idiot just now.

Some alternative app icons (latte.isnot.coffee)

Quite like the development of Jerboa as it stands, but I found the icon of the app to be a bit uninspired (and personally I need to have a dark background so stuff doesn't stand out too much).

Anyway, I got some time on hand last night and prompted DALL-E to create some Jerboa-inspired icons, and after going through dozens and dozens of iterations, prompts and refinements, I was left with 5 that I really like, cleaned them up and tuned them a bit in Photoshop this morning, and here we are:

Now I have no clue what that means in terms of licensing and whatnot. I'm explicitly posting them with no strings attached from my end, but can't tell if any underlying licenses still apply regardless.

Favorite cold brew recipe? (latte.isnot.coffee)

Wondering which beans, grind size, water to coffee ratio and extraction times you are using?

And temperature, if that's anything specific.

Are requests permitted here? (latte.isnot.coffee)

Been looking for a specific show for some time but can't seem to find it anywhere, but before making a specific request I'd check in with you first.

Couldn't find anything in the sidebar, but assuming everything is still a bit of a work in progress, I'd rather be on the safe side :-)

[-] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 41 points 1 year ago

Yep, we opened up, polled the users, got told to keep it closed, and down went the shutters.

Showtime! (latte.isnot.coffee)

Time to claim some bragging rights, show off your equipment if you dare!
