Accounting details, sensitive credentials for sys admin use, HIPAA data, PII etc. there’s just so much crap understood to be temporarily unlocked, viewed, and then immediately deleted or locked again. Even home users shouldn’t turn this thing on, check your bank? Balance and account details now always available. Use a password manager? Whatever you looked at is likely captured.

Had something similar happen with indiegala. Had an account with them for years, then one day, could not purchase some games randomly. Hit up their support and got the answer “Oh, the purchase was denied because your account’s email address is detected as a temporary email address”… The email address I’ve been using on that account… for years… Is temporary.

Yay… Capitalism…

It kinda do though. VSCode, without a project open has 10 processes running and uses over a half gig of ram. I like VSCode to be clear. I also like discord but it’s just a chat app and apparently needs a half gig itself and 6 processes.

I don’t personally know of any but in a similar vein there are some stone monuments intended to convey information after an apocalypse like the Georgia Guidestones or the nuclear waste site warning stones. GitHub put a snapshot of all active code repositories from 2020 in arctic permafrost, and there is the arctic seed vault for preserving plant species.

If you are on browser using unlock origin, you can use custom cosmetic filters like sh.itjust.works##div.post-listing:has-text(/hexbear.net/). Not perfect and does not hide comments, but I’ve been happy enough with just this.

Yeah, I guess. It seems wasteful to need 8GB just to run an OS and browser especially after Microsoft was pushing server core specifically to go the opposite route with resource utilization on servers.

They are necessitating 8GB of RAM. for what?! Like, it would be a struggle to find a machine with less than 8GB still being sold new, sure, but why does the OS need that RAM?

I don’t think this is possible through DNS filtering because it is your home lemmy instance showing you the results. You could block specific communities, turn off NSFW posts in your profile, or use a filter in Ublock Origin. These are all client-side solutions and would not auto-apply to a whole network. I don’t think there is a feature to block posts from a whole instance without being in charge of your own instance and de-federating. I would wager a per-user instance block will be coming down the pipe eventually.
