No. Stay away from these sites. They're only reason to exist is because they have builtin their promo-code into each "try this vpn" button. Giving them a cut of whatever you end up paying for the vpn service. These promo deals that these vpn companies have going are also incredibly lucrative for those promoting them, often giving them 20-40% of the cut.

I think this is unfair because their articles are low quality and often just copied from other sites.

There are mainly 3 vpns you should consider:

  • MullvadVPN.
  • ProtonVPN.
  • IVPN.

  • runs windows.

Completely understand your frustration with this.. This isn't their first rodeo when it comes to these popup sales either.. I know there have been multiple other posts about this here on Lemmy previously. Anyway keep us posted, I've done my part and upvoted the uservoice post 👍

Thanks for the insight though! Feel like it's a lot better trying than not to. Worst come to worst I continue using my mobile Hotspot which they pay for.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing :)

As far as I was told at least, they use Intune to distribute these, don't think they want to "hand them out manually".

Yeah, they do not officially support us using Linux. However, I would like to see whether Intune can be easily installed on Linux machines so that I can create documentation for those employees who wish to use Linux over Windows/Mac.

Intune is the only way for us to get Wi-Fi certificates(AFAIK), that's why it's needed. On windows it's baked in or whatever, but obviously not on Linux.

 

Hi there!

A bunch of us at work have been looking at getting Intune running on our Linux machines, this is needed to get Wi-Fi access at work. While there is a guide on getting this on Linux - the requirements are strictly limiting this to RedHat and Ubuntu and Gnome only. Has anyone here had any success with setting this up? Was it difficult?

I tried myself just once last week, but on Aurora (KDE), via a RHEL distrobox, and assumed it failed due to my main system not having gnome-keyring installed(?) as the terminal would spit out "gnome-keyring" a couple of times when launching Intune. Was gonna try with RHEL myself during this week, but wanted to hear here first if anyone has had any success with this at all before i attempt to get it running.

Appreciate any response on this :)

Defo some good points! It's just as soon as those polls are on a third-party site i feel like a lot less people are going to bother/engage with the poll - instead of a simple click in the lemmy-ui.

I think most people don't understand the fact that Kagi is meta-search engine which literally collect the results of other search engines and display it and add very small amount of results from their index(tecilis).

People basically pay them to search Yandex and Brave for them.

You're enticing that they 'do very little'. But they do search multiple sources at once, providing a better choice of results for their users in addition to allowing users further customizable filters. If they're doing this then they're doing more than just the standard 'Yandex/Brave' search as you describe.

I do however, agree that they should state that they are a metasearch engine if that is their case. Also just seen their pricing - ludicrous!

If they're indexing multiple sources and then making a custom experience for the user - based on multiple sources and user input. Then that to me, sounds like a valid service to to allowed to sell? I struggle to see the issue here?

Hi there!

Using Insular to isolate the few work apps I have on my phone. However I'd like to not receive notifications from these apps outside the 9-5 hours. Anyone know how to do this?

Any tips appreciated 👍

We're kicking off our 2024 end-of-year fundraiser just in time for Halloween!

Even if the spine-tingling horrors of the long dark night of Walpurgis are mostly imaginary, the sinister threats of predatory proprietary software providers remain all too real.

Fear not! We, the KDE community, will help you, your friends, family, company, and community banish all the creepy and insidious proprietary software that haunts your computers, phones, and household appliances.

But we can't do it alone! We need you to help us fight the good fight against the tech-ghouls from beyond. Use the form to donate any amount to our fundraiser (or become a regular donor to our community) and help us keep the dark forces of proprietary software at bay.

Check link for the horror stories and fundraising progress 👍

Hiya, I am looking into a few different services to better manage my finances, among the highest recommended ones there is ActualBudget. Actualbugdet itself is opensource and private, however, to get the most out of this service you may connect it to your bank, via a third party service. Has anyone here actually done this? The service (for EU folks) is called GoCardless. This however, to me is ringing many alarms..

Here is the screenshot showing the message before connecting to my bank..

Here GoCardless's list of partners/suppliers:

I assume there is no private alternative that allows you to connect to your bank into AcualBudget or another service, if so please let me know! Managing finances would be so much more convenient if it all was automatically synced into a self-hosted service.

Let me know how you manage your finances :)

 

These small little handy-dandy devices seem to get more and more popular. Anyone here chipped in for a JetKVM yet? Looks and sounds pretty solid. Are there a lot of you that have aquired a nanoKVM?

 

Hey folks!

I'm about to distro hop (again) to test Tumbleweed for a longer period of time 🦎 However, something i've not done before is to have my /home directory on a separate partition, should I? If I do it, should it be a different filesystem than the rest? (Been reading on OpenSuse TW forums and seen people mentioning that they use BTRFS for /home and XFS for the rest, or the other way around. Are there any benefits of using separate filesystems, or is this done to get the BTRFS backup for the /home dir?

What are the pros and cons of doing these changes to my system, lemmy know :)

 

I am using Proton Calendar, hoping there is some service that allows me to subscribe to their service/.ics so that it integrates nicely into my calendar. If anyone have any idea of a such service then let me know :)
