And that’s why older media is usually better. Only the good parts have survived and the 90% has been forgotten.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How does "DNS" work on the dark web?
4·4 days agoFrom the link, since I think this is the part most equivalent to DNS.
The Onion Service assembles an Onion Service descriptor, containing a list of its introduction points (and “authentication keys”), and signs this descriptor with the Onion Service’s identity private key.
The Onion Service upload that signed descriptor to a distributed hash table, which is part of the Tor network, so that clients can also get it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you pay for online services like search and email if they offered a better experience than Google?
1·6 days agoI haven’t done it myself but know people who do. If you use a known provider and only the domain is yours I wouldn’t expect it to be blocked as companies also use their own domain for their email.

13·7 days agoEmail yes but only with my own domain so I can change providers if the price changes.
I wouldn’t pay for anything I’d prefer to keep anonymous and that includes search.

4·9 days agoI have the 10vi. It’s pretty good for the money I paid (~300€). The UI is very close to plain android which is nice and doesn’t have a billion extra apps pre-installed like Samsung. The battery has been great so far. MicroSD and headphone jack are great features and I think you can also unlock the bootloader.
Having said that, some issues I’ve had that may or may not exist in other versions:
- The lock screen is buggy as hell, way too many accidental fingerprint unlocks and camera bugs that have persisted across updates.
- In Europe (different countries) it’s only ever gotten 5G once.
- Sony is doing something weird with its camera hardware. Any apps that try to use the camera outside the official app are having issues focusing and one app was actually crashing. This is not an everyday issue but would be a problem if you want to use a third party camera app.
I’d still recommend it but maybe try to find a discount cause Sony overcharges a lot.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Wearing a helmet and a hat while biking
6·12 days agoIf you’re wearing jeans you can also strap it onto the belt straps. If it’s on the side it shouldn’t be too uncomfortable
If it’s something specific like what you mentioned, just search for relevant articles with lists of recommendations. For more general themes you can go to goodreads (or similar), find some reviews you agree with on other books you liked and see what else the reviewers liked. Or do the same with people you know if you have similar tastes. You would think LLMs would be good at recommending books but every time I’ve tried with chatgpt the results were pretty bad but YMMV.

3·14 days agoAlso picking an ISP that actually has a reliable connection even if everything else about their service sucks, including the price.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you speak a language that has a formal 'you', when do you use it?
2·18 days agoIsn’t te/le technically a conjugation of you though? You also have to conjugate the verb but at least the difference is just an ‘s’ that you can aspirate enough that it’s not clear if you’re going for tu or usted.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you speak a language that has a formal 'you', when do you use it?
6·19 days agoGreek: formal you is usually used with older people (but not family), teachers when you are a student or higher ups in general. Wherever I’ve worked we used the informal form but I don’t know how common this is. Also retail workers typically use the formal form with customers so I do the same with them but many people do not. It seems to be slowly going away as a feature.
Spanish: I’d use the formal a bit less than in greek but it depends on location. In Spain it seems pretty rare but some central and south American countries use it much more.

Sadly true (and yeah, I didn’t know about those movies)
