Internet Archive is continuing to face DDoS attacks after several days, says “this attack has been sustained, impactful, targeted, adaptive, and importantly, mean”
  • True. That's not something you want. Could use that downtime for extensive maintenance to roll out a more robust system (they are probably even working on that already in the background). For the end user it doesn't really make a difference if down because of DDOS or because of maintenance I thought.

    Pause alerts during the night
  • If it's just the ntfy app that sends these alerts it should be easy enough to send the developers of that app a feature request to implement a sleep mode which can be scheduled to mute the notifications.

    Flying Carpet | Cross-platform AirDrop between Android/iOS/Linux/macOS/Windows via ad hoc WiFi
  • And the other way around is impossible too? Is it impossible for 3rd party implementations to support the closed AirDrop protocol (through some sort of "hack", I don't know)?

    Flying Carpet | Cross-platform AirDrop between Android/iOS/Linux/macOS/Windows via ad hoc WiFi
  • If only this also could be compatible with the Apple AirDrop, so we Linux users can receive files from Apple devices or send files from non-Apple to Apple without having to install something on the Apple device.

    How often do you compliment people?
  • To be honest, I don't often give compliments to others. Firstly, I don't like being complimented myself. Secondly, I've often gotten an "Okay, you're funny" or something similar in response (even for the simplest compliments with no hidden suggestive thoughts), which didn't feel like other persons liked being complimented.

    Google could kill YouTube Vanced for good
  • I don't understand why YouTube doesn't use the stupid blob video format (I don't know the technical details, maybe it's about drm protection) already. It almost makes it impossible to view a video in something other than the player it came with and I don't like that.

    FCast - Casting made open source
  • As far as I understand this needs to be implemented into every service individually, so as long as providers like Disney+, AppleTV, etc. If the providers don't bother, I as an consumer cannot use FCast, right? Or can it act as a drop in replacement for Chromecast?

    How do I find communities on Lemmy?
  • But here's the thing I don't understand. If there is a community tech@instanceA and tech@instanceB, are these two individual communities or are the posts shared between the instances? So does it matter at what instance a community located? I had guessed no, it doesn't matter and you are always subscribing to a certain topic, not a topic@instance, but I am not sure
