Instead YouTube gives me literally nothing but AI spam. :/

I scrolled down a bit more and got this: https://i.postimg.cc/fJcPhG45/Screenshot-20251118-150802.png

Scrolled down some more and this: https://i.postimg.cc/v1khnhRp/Screenshot-20251118-151325.png

I kept scrolling until I ran out of relevant results. Not a single video was legit. I don't think I've ever seen so much AI slop in one search term and by the gods there is a lot of crap on YouTube.

Anyone have a good comparison video? I'm just wanting a decent comparison of Actual, Firefly III and possibly HomeBank. Feel free to also give me your 2 cents on whatever you use :)

Following OpenZFS 2.4-rc3 from nearly one month ago is now a fourth release candidate for the upcoming OpenZFS 2.4. A few more features and improvements have been squeezed into this release in nearing the stable milestone.

There is now support for default user/group/project quotas including object quotas, support in the Direct IO mode to fallback to lightweight uncached IO when dealing with unaligned writes (wiring O_DIRECT also to Uncached I/O), unified allocation throttling as a new means to reduce vdev fragmentation, and better encryption performance when using AVX2 for AES-GCM. The AVX2 implementation of AES-GCM is being adopted from BoringSSL to help the performance on AMD Zen 3 and similar CPUs for up to an 80% speed-up reported.

Valve has rolled out a new Steam client update dated November 17, and it’s already being automatically distributed to users.

The changes begin with new chat safety features. Users can now report suspicious or harassing one-on-one messages directly from the chat window by right-clicking any message. A new warning banner appears when Steam detects potentially malicious content, and links remain disabled until the user dismisses the alert.

Steam also resolves a series of client-side issues. Certain game collections that became unavailable after reinstalling Steam are now handled correctly, DLC is no longer removed during user switching, and Steam Play misconfiguration after immediate post-purchase installs has been fixed.

Phosh 0.51.0 is now available, bringing a set of functional improvements to this GNOME-based mobile shell used across many Linux phones.

Developed by Purism and adopted in projects such as postmarketOS, Mobian, and Fedora Mobility, Phosh provides the core touch interface, quick settings, notifications, lock screen, app launcher, and system integration for mobile Linux platforms.

The update introduces a new location quick setting, providing users with a straightforward toggle to enable or disable location services. Caffeine mode—used to prevent the device from suspending—now supports selectable durations, which can be configured directly through mobile settings.

GIMP 3.2 RC1 is now available in the development branch, introducing a broad set of improvements across the core, tools, plug-ins, user interface, and developer APIs, giving a clear picture of what we can expect in the final stable 3.2 version.

The release introduces native SVG export for vector, text, and link layers, extending GIMP’s capabilities for producing scalable graphics. ZIP decompression and PVR texture import are now also supported, expanding the range of image formats that can be opened.

The update refines core behavior around pass-through groups, which now apply filters based on the full bounding box rather than only child layers, allowing empty groups to act more like adjustment layers. Layer-mask handling gains an option to edit masks immediately, and non-destructive filters applied to the quick mask are correctly merged when leaving the mode.

So I was looking for this file and a guy found it and sent me a link. There were two download options, both full of ads. I managed to download from the second link, but what really baffled me was the first one: TeraBox.

First thing, I couldn't find any way to download the file. This crap actually wanted me to download a .exe to install their software so I could download the file from the internet, so obviously I said fuck it and tried the second link instead.

Then I told the guy who gave me the link that TeraBox was sketchy as fuck and I hoped he wasn’t actually using it, and went to search for more info about TeraBox. Apparently the program is full of ads, and wherever you click it tries to make you upgrade to premium and throws more ads at you. Its bandwidth is complete crap, but hey, it gives you 1TB of free cloud storage, yay!

TeraBox was created by Baidu using a subsidiary in Japan, later they changed the name and the name of the Japanese company as well to try not to look affiliated with Baidu.

Anyone here old enough to remember hao123, their browser hijacker that would fuck up you registry and shit just to reinstall itself through Windows Services after being uninstalled, already knows Baidu is pure cancer, and it’s hilarious if you check videos of people testing their antivirus - that manages to be more of a malware itself than McAfee. This Chinese-Google ethics make Google itself look like Mullvad, and they want you to download and install their .exe just so you can download files from the web lol

Yeah, that guy I mentioned was using TeraBox and thinking it was great, and apparently a whole lot of people do. 1TB free \o/ (although, looking at Reddit and Play Store - where it has 100m+ downloads - everyone complains files don't sync, they disappear, even after buying premium they still see ads and the speed is still crap, they don't reward whatever bonuses they promise, and support is nonexistent... so shit doesn't even work properly...)

I'm all for making tons of accounts to use Google Drive/Mega/Dropbox/etc to distribute files, even if they have crappy privacy practices, you don’t need to share any real information with them anyway: use a VPN and a secure browser to create your account with a disposable email and that’s it, whatever info they gathered doesn’t matter, let them host stuff for you at their expenses... but TeraBox? Ouch, that's insanity.
