Why does this need 3 mariadb containers?

My IT teacher from high school put a major emphasis on online privacy.

He thinks the internet is a major threat to individual freedom and while it brings benefits, the negative effects are too big for him.

While I don’t agree with the last statement, I do think privacy is very much under attack nowadays and while I am not very concerned what other people and corporations know about me, I still care about privacy simply because I have the right to do so and because if I don’t pay attention, a dozen different trackers will know what I have done without me granting permission.

Corporations basically take advantage of people and give nothing in return and that is bad imo.

then all other players must be cutting a lot of corners

I mean, I’m pretty sure other phone companies use child labor to harvest the raw materials necessary to produce their devices, so yeah, they are screwing over tons of people.

The default Fairphone OS has Google and a bunch of other trackers.

For a good privacy friendly Fairphone, you should get the Murena Fairphone (they preinstalled DeGoogled /e/OS)

Inflation occurs when the value of goods increase. This can mainly be caused by two things: An increase in consumption or an increase of production costs, which causes the vendor to increase prices in order to maintain profits.

Deflation would occur when the opposite happens, aka when the value of goods decrease. This can be caused by things such as new technological improvements (old hardware has become cheaper, because new hardware has been released and the older hardware is no longer state-of-the-art), a reduction in consumption or a reduction in production costs. Perhaps I’ve missed a few cases, but these are the main things I can currently think of.

Anyway, while deflation is generally useful for consumers (they have to pay less), it’s not very good for borrowers. Let’s take a mortgage for a house, for example. You want to buy a house for €200k and have a mortgage of €200k that will cover the house. If something bad happens to you financially (for example, you lose your job), you may end up in a situation where you’ll no longer be able to pay off your mortgage. Shit happens right? Usually, the bank would take control of your house, sell your house for €200k and use the revenue from the house to pay off your mortgage.

However, if deflation has occurred and your house is no longer worth €200k, but €150k, you still have €50k to pay off to your bank, after the bank has sold your house. Simultaneously, you’re unemployed, so how are you going to do that? If you declare bankruptcy, you will no longer have to pay off your debts and the bank has lost €50k.

Besides this, deflation can also be a symptom of something worse happening, such as high unemployment rates and a decrease in consumption, for example. When more people get unemployed, people will spend less, which reduces demand, which leads to a decrease of prices.

A server is nothing more than a computer that is always running 24/7.

The server (or actually, computer) can do a lot of different things, such as simply storing a lot of files, streaming these files, download other files, etc.

Besides that, the server can run programs like Lemmy and because the server is generally 24/7, the Lemmy program will also be accessible 24/7.

Edit with an analogy: A server is similar to a literal restaurant-server. People can request data (such as a file) from a server and the server will serve that file to the people who requested it. Just like how people order food from the server in a restaurant, people ‘order’ data (such as a file or image) from the server.

They actually made a custom operating system, because Qualcomm dropped support for the SoC. Source: https://www.fairphone.com/en/2021/03/25/android9-fairphone2/

They did it twice; once for the upgrade to Android 9 (took 18 months) and once for the upgrade to android 10 (took 10 months)

The Fairphone 2 actually had 7 years of security updates before the support was withdrawn, so it’s pretty likely the Fairphone 3 will last at least 7 years, maybe even longer.

Yeah, but Fairphone decided to make their own drivers after Qualcomm stopped with supporting the chips.

Hm, why would there be copyright issues with Funkwhale, but not with alternatives like Navidrome? If there would be copyright issues with Funkwhale, they would be there with Navidrome and others too right?

If you’re interested in a self-hosted Fediverse platform for music streaming, you can try out Funkwhale. Though I personally feel like the subsonic compatibility is pretty underwhelming, which makes it annoying to stream music from a phone with a subsonic client.

You can just use the website (install it as a PWA) and then just connect your device with Tor VPN
