Neither closed or open software is safer than the other in my opinion. If someone wants to find a vulnerability they will find a vulnerability. The only advantage open source maybe has that it's harder to hide vulnerabilities for years and it's more obvious if they don't fix it. But personally I wouldn't use open source just for safety reasons.

Even if you don't buy a lottery ticket an infinite of you wins

Basically you have to trust the admin and operator of your instance like you would trust a monolithic company. Will it work? Who knows. But this whole trust a single point of failure thing always be there. You can choose who you trust or you can choose to not trust anyone and be platform independent. And ActivityPub kind of gives this so you can migrate to another instance or a whole another platform. Is it inconvenient? Kind of yes but the possibility is there at least.

The funding thing is something I was wondering myself too. We have to find a way to fund these servers and donation is not the way in my opinion. Sure it can work for periods of time but not in the long run. Right now I'm sure a lot of people donated for their instances because of the hype but I'm sure donations will go down in the following months. And as inconvenient as ads are they are the easiest and one of the most reliable way to fund something like that. And I know it's a very unpopular opinion here on the fediverse. but we have to accept the truth that nothing is free.

The one larger instance thing is not a problem in my opinion if that is a good and reliable instance. And again it's the trust thing I was talking about earlier. Either you trust the mods and operators of lemmy.world or you trust Reddit, Meta or anyone else, you choose. Neither is better than the other one in my opinion. And if you look at user statistics there are other instances that are getting bigger so maybe it won't be that big of a problem. People usually don't get this fediverse thing when they get here and they see an instance with 100k users and they register bacuse that's the best. I was the same. But if this thing is here to stay people will eventually get used to the whole it doesn't really matter where you register thing and this thing will be solved. At least I hope.

Maybe this whole thing I wrote is not very organised because I'm a little bit tired sorry. But for short I can understand your point and I kind of feel the same but it is what it is, maybe it's the future maybe not. Right now I like Lemmy more than Reddit but it sure needs polishing.

For me it sounds like more like a PR move. It sounds like they just want people to adopt Oracle Linux because now it's the good thing and when they'll have the chance they'll do the same thing. Not necessarily exactly what Red Hat (and IBM) did but something that won't benefit the community but them. But maybe this is just my superstition or something and it won't come to this. I hope it won't come to this but I doubt it

I just turned off NSFW in settings. It doesn't really remove all nsfw posts but it hides them so you have to click a button to show the nsfw post. Not the best solution overall but the best we have right now

Edit: the setting is called Hide NSFW

Maybe check if your phone is stopping apps that are in the background. If I'm not mistaken it's an Android feature and most of the time you can disable it in settings per app. On my Huawei phone it's Settings > Apps > the app > power usage > launch settings.

I was using the ubuntu-drivers utility that this page mentions too but it turns out it isn't working very much. Now I installed with the manual method from this page using apt install linux-modules-nvidia-${DRIVER_BRANCH}${SERVER}-${LINUX_FLAVOUR} and it's working. Thank you for the suggestion!

Shows up in lspci. Booting a live OS would be a little bit tricky because it's in a wall mounted rack but I will try that if nothing else works. Thank you.

Started with Bitwarden years ago, then I used 1password for a few months and now I'm using Keepassxc (Keepass2Android on my phone).

And I recommend everyone to use one. Not necessarily Keepass if they are not very tech savy (database synchronization can be a little bit tricky but not hard). Bitwarden was good too but Keepassxc supports adding ssh keys which is a big plus for me.
