  • i still don’t understand. is it easier in python or JS to make getters and setters? with python my experience has been the opposite, with the decorator based solution in mind.
    or if the problem is that they exist, as an option to be used, why is that a problem? they can be implemented in any other language, and it can be useful.

    then yeah, you should check for nulls. just like for None’s in python, or if you have the correct type at all, because if it’s entirely different but ends up having a function or variable with the same name then who knows what happens.
    then in javascript besides null, you also have undefined and NaN!

  • I have a very low value lenovo tablet that my provider was giving away essentially for free (for worthless loyalty points I think). its BL cannot be unlocked, it has a special bootloader that does not implement the standard unlock commands.

    Other than that, I have to admit I don’t often deal with cheap phones, because my experience was that not even LOS supports a lot them. Maybe that’s changed though.



  • if with cell phones you mean the non-smart, dumb phones then I can agree. however if you buy the cheapest of smartphones, what you’ll get is even more datamining than usual, which you may be even unable go remove because it’s bootloader cannot be unlocked.
    but I would say don’t cheap out on tech generally, because you’ll get extremely weak security and nonexistent respect towards you as a customer.

    smartphones is a dirty business. don’t support the bad actors with your many, and then long term with your data







  • Besides a TOR node, you can also run an I2P “router” (which is a software package).

    This is not an outproxy/exit node, so unless your country prohibits in law participating in routing network traffic (afaik not really a thing), this can’t get you into trouble.

    I2P is a hidden network like Tor, but compared to that (while it is usable for browsing websites while hiding your IP from it) it’s a better choice for in-network services. Unlike with Tor it does not dislike bittorrent and such.
    Everyone who runs a router can not only access I2P sites/services, but also participates in routing the traffic of other users, and with a stable and relatively fast internet connection you can help to improve connection speeds of the network for everyone.






  • If you can see DMs between 2 e.g. sh.itjust.works users that’s very worrying, but if you can only see messages where one participant is registered on your instance, that’s just natural.

    Other than that, I think vote information should only be visible to

    • the instance’s admins where the user is registered
    • the community’s mods (and in turn the admins of it’s instance) where the reaction has taken place,
      and not to any and all instance admin who is federating with your instance.
