Inaccessible will be the server down. I can see two of those, both feddit.de.

As well as the ones that have already been mentioned, you can also check out (the pinned posts on) !lemmydirectory@lemmy.dbzer0.com which is in the process of being updated.

What I like with UK subtitles, is that different characters get different colours. With translation subtitles this never seems to happen.

Sublinks? https://github.com/sublinks

I set up an account on neodb.social recently. Other than the fact if you search for anything it’s all in Chinese, you can search for URLs and get the English versions.

Not sure about DOS, but Windows 10 will happily run 16-bit Windows software. You have to use the 32-bit version of Windows though - the 64-bit version dropped support.

I did know this already, but it’s easily forgotten as it isn’t common to need it. I find banking sites are the main place this is useful, as they ask for all sorts of extra information.

Personal: Booted up a friend’s infected disk on my Amiga, which then infected the HD. Mass panic for ten minutes or so as I ran Virus Checker or VirusZ on it.

Work: In 2003-ish we had an infection of… I can’t even remember the name of it, but we had to manually go round and run a program on everybody’s computer to get rid of it.

Since then I’ve seen a few people get their files encrypted by Ransomware, but no major infections.

In which case I suggest you file a GDPR violation against all web browsers, as by default they will be allowing tracking and sending data to advertisers.

But it’s OK to send more - and probably PII - tracking data directly to the website without consent?

How does this violate the GDPR? It increases privacy and stops advertisers tracking everything you do. This seems to be a good thing.

Advertisers have always been interested in where their ads are seen and whether they convert to purchases. A common example is vouchers, which will tell the advertiser exactly this (10p off, customer redeems, store returns to advertiser, advertiser knows where you got the voucher from/where you saw the advert, where you bought the product - exactly what Firefox is trying to tell them)

Very convoluted way of getting to that if you click through and follow the web instructions. Here’s a direct link: https://myactivity.google.com/results-about-you?hl=en (obviously the actual dark web bit isn’t there yet)

Wayback machine I find very useful, and my bot on !yoursinclair@retrolemmy.com uses Internet Archive as the source of the YS magazine scans.

Maybe not Linux per se, but certainly learning how to write scripts and other technical stuff, to automate boring tasks or alert me of things, or writing applications to do things I need, has been a massive time saver - but also a time waster as I enjoy it, and probably spend longer on these things than the amount of time they’ve saved.

And as footnote, it’s always easier to do this stuff on Linux than Windows… plus you can stick things on a Pi so it’s cheap and quiet.
