I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in Linux, FOSS, and several other subjects.

    Numeric .xyz domains only cost $1 a year. They’re not great for things like mail because they’re often used by spammers (probably because of the price), but it’s great for cheap signed DNS hostnames.

    I point it to the server on my local network and use Wireguard to connect myself.








  • New Firefox forks are quite interesting. I’ve tried it, these are my impressions so far:

    • The UI looks a little bit too much like a generic electron app to me, there is no option for native GTK or QT theming.
    • It seems they ship version that use the newer CPU instructions to optimize the application, I’m not sure standard Firefox does. This is neat. It does feel a bit faster but I’m unsure whether this is because of optimizations or because I have 100x as many tabs open on vanilla Firefox right now.
    • The vertical tabs are very nice. I currently use the “Tree Style Tab” extension and some hacky CSS scripts for that, and this seems like it would work a lot better.
    • The shortcuts are off by default, which is nice, but still seem to be the same as Firefox.
    • It feels a bit buggy. I had to restart the application to be able to load a site.
    • They kept Firefox sync, which I like.
    • You can choose between dark and light mode on the first startup, but I haven’t been able to find the setting again.

    Conclusion Overall, a decent Firefox rebrand. Better tab management, split windows, and workspaces seem quite nice. I would probably consider using it if it put the settings in 1 place and didn’t have any bugs.







  • The Gaza Health Ministry is literally run by Hamas.

    I am aware of that, but HRW confirmed these numbers and so did many other organizations.

    And the UNOCHA is straight up lying. They claim only 23 Israeli fatalities in 2023 when the Oct 7th massacre alone killed 1,139 people, 695 of whom were Israeli Citizens (Not just Jews). This is not counting any of the attacks before or after Oct 7th, this is just the Oct 7th massacre alone.

    I’m not sure how you missed it, but the source clearly states that casualties of the ongoing conflict are not included because they’re not yet independently verified. That is also why I did not include those numbers myself. Excerpt:

    Casualties in the context of the ongoing hostilities in the Gaza Strip and Israel, which started on 7 October 2023, will only be added to this page once these incidents have been independently verified. Until then, reported figures on those are included in our Flash Updates and Snapshots. By contrast, data on casualties in the West Bank and Israel in other contexts is updated regularly beyond 7 October 2023.

    Hopefully you can see that this is just propaganda, right?

    I hope you realize it doesn’t just come from one side
