Ordered myself a replacement battery for my X230 #thinkpad since mine is at 33% of it's original capacity, a little nervous to buy a third party one but they seem like they might be trustworthy, Green Cell, has anyone had any bad experiences with them?

Not long ago, the idea that western govts were engaging in illegal surveillance programs was widely dismissed.

Then we found out it was true — but nothing changed.

What seems impossibly dystopian, is possible.

It's up to us to stop it.

Hey guys, just a little update: this still hasn't changed.

Session runs on a decentralised network of community-run nodes, meaning:

- It can't be easily censored.
- It can't be taken down, even by us.
- It can't hand over your data, even to us.

But did you know that the network grows in size and strength every day?

1500 incoming! 🥳

Good news for Onionland!

It's now finally possible to get DV certs for your v3 onion site using the HARICA CA! It's another step for the popularization of onion services. We hope more CAs follow HARICA's lead and add support for v3 onions.

I made this post this morning, and I'd like to make a followup: https://functional.cafe/@loke/105813174834542090

I'd like to ask people here if anyone know of a good use-case for 5G. Something that would be an actual, measurable improvement compared to today.

So far I have only heard a single one, and that is that supposedly latency will be much better, making online gaming possible. What kind of latency can I expect to see?

Other than the ability to play fortnite on mobile (which, as far as I understand, people already do?), in what way is 5G actually going to be real gamechanger on the level of what marketing is claiming it will be?
