Unlikely.
The in-house scanning service at the Internet Archive (IA) differs from the licensing agreements entered into by other libraries. These agreements see libraries license ‘official’ e-book versions from publishers, who charge for every book that’s lent out to patrons.
Short answer: Mobile hot spot (w/ your own cellular device) is preferable to public wifi from a security perspective.
There are other considerations, such as how much cellular data downloads cost to you, what sites you’re visiting, what you’re actually doing, etc. In general, it’s advisable to avoid public wifi if you can, but if you must connect to public wifi, then you should make darn sure you connect to the right network (watch out for imposter networks w/ a legitimate looking name) and use VPN (ideally a paid service) to encrypt your traffic. Even with both of these measures, you’re best off avoiding sensitive activities like online banking on public wifi. If you must do banking or other sensitive stuff, either do it on your phone or wait until you get home.
Hope this helps.
Editing to add: When I initially responded, I’d forgotten which community I was in. In this context, I believe the other responses are better than mine, but I’ll keep mine up in case it helps other readers.
Aren’t we still vulnerable through VMs, though? I seem to remember reading something about why Qubes OS is safer than a regular VM, having to do w/ zero trust, etc.
Sure, but what’s the claim? I don’t understand playlists for FAST services, nor why an evil corporation would care enough to file a DMCA suit, no matter how frivolous. Is it because these playlists somehow magically block the ads? Do they give non-paying customers access to something normally behind a paywall? Like what am I missing here? Something is not adding up.
I don’t use any FAST services. I know what a playlist is in like Winamp and stuff, but why/how could a playlist be considered a DMCA violation for these FAST services? I read the article, but I’m still confused.
I wonder how much of it is Disney thinks this might actually work versus the ole delay, delay, delay tactic. Probably a little bit of both.
Interesting. I wonder if that’s a bug in the Photon app. I use Voyager on mobile. When I tap to create a new post, there is a toggle for link, image, or text.
I’m guessing it’s because you’d selected Link as the post type instead of Text.
How do I know if I’m using sata 3.2/3.3 vs something else?
I have one of these in the 8 TB variant that I use for backup purposes, and I plug it into one of those USB docks, like this one. I have not applied any tape or adaptors and it seems to be working fine.
Check out this article from December about using sponsor block with yt-dlp.
I was having this issue initially as well, but today I noticed my posts are back. Are yours back, too?
I have the same problem. I wondered if it was just me.
Is anyone else unable to see a list of their own posts in their profile area? For example, I have several posts in /c/caps@lemmy.world that aren’t showing up in my profile.
My profile: https://lemmy.ml/u/yo_scottie_oh?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts
An example of a post that I’d expect to show up there: https://lemmy.ml/post/8549237
Which, oddly is the same as this post: https://lemmy.world/post/8833534 (but this might be off topic).
I can see posts in other people’s profiles, e.g. https://lemmy.ml/u/KindnessInfinity?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts.
But the community names are in the URLs. E.g. https://lemmy.ml/c/technology. Am I understanding your comment correctly?
I use zip ties with built-in tags for managing and labeling cables in my home office. 100-packs go for $8 on Amazon.
Supes excited for these two:
