How many of you out there are browsing the web using Gofer?
Gopher predated the Web.
I do agree that there have been pretty major changes in the way websites worked, though. I'm not hand-coding pages using a very light, Markdown-like syntax with <em></em>, <a href=""></a>, and <h1></h1> anymore, for example.
It doesn’t work with private DNS servers or forward DNS over VPN.
Like, you want to have it query some particular DNS server?
From man 5 resolved.conf:
DNS=
A space-separated list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to
use as system DNS servers.
For compatibility reasons, if
this setting is not specified, the DNS servers listed
in /etc/resolv.conf are used instead, if that file
exists and any servers are configured in it.
If you specify your private server there, it should work. For VPN, I mean, whatever VPN software you're using will need to plonk it in there. Maybe yours is not aware of systemd-resolved, is modifying /etc/resolv.conf after systemd-resolved has already started, and it doesn't watch it for updates?
In my /etc/nsswitch.conf, I have:
hosts: files myhostname mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns
I'm assuming that the "resolve" entry is for systemd-resolved.

With systemd-resolved, however, instead of using that DNS setting, add the following PostUp command to the [Interface] section of your WireGuard config file:
PostUp = resolvectl dns %i 9.9.9.9#dns.quad9.net 149.112.112.112#dns.quad9.net; resolvectl domain %i ~.When you start your WireGuard interface up, this command will direct systemd-resolved to use the DNS server at 9.9.9.9 (or at 149.112.112.112, if 9.9.9.9 is not available) to resolve queries for any domain name.
Sounds like there's potential for even more political gains from even more political theater, then?
It's been a long time, but IIRC Windows's file dialog also remembers your recently-used files for quick access in the file dialog, and I assume that Explorer has a thumbnail cache.
It looks like GTK 3 has a toggle for recently-used files:

While the guy sounds kinda unhinged, I do think that he has a point
he doesn't want activity dumping breadcrumbs everywhere, unbeknownst to him. That's a legit ask. Firefox and Chrome added Incognito and Private Browsing mode because they recorded a bunch of state about what you were doing for History, and that's awkward if it suddenly gets exposed. There should really be a straightforward way to globally disable this sort of thing, even if logged history can provide for convenient functionality.
Emacs has a lot of functionality, but I don't think anything I use actually retains state. If emacs can manage that so can oyher stuff. Hmm. Oh, etags will store a cached TAGS file for a source tree.

Historically, bash defaulted to saving ~/.bash_history on disk. Don't recall if that changed at any point.
There's ccache, which caches binary objects from gcc compilations persistently.
Firefox can persistently cache data in the disk cache or for LocalStorage or cookies.
System logfiles might record some data baout the system though they generally get rotated out.
Most of the time though, I don't have a lot of recorded persistent state floating around.

Are you sure that you don't just have NSFW communities blocked in your settings? In the vanilla Lemmy Web UI, it's a checkbox labeled "Show NSFW content".
I don't read much Russian media, but from what I've seen of Russian political cartoons and translated TV over the war, the "NATO is attacking us" thing is a theme.
Some of it related to where Russia had made a blunder and had a poor military outcome. My guess is that it's maybe politically acceptable in Russia to lose a battle against NATO or something, but not against Ukraine, that the latter is a humilliation or something like that. After Ukraine did its Kursk offensive into Russia, I saw a bunch of material like that. Material all about how it must have been the US or UK who planned it. shrugs I was thinking "I'd be more worried about the actual offensive", but TV was more worried about establishing that Ukraine couldn't manage something like this.
NoStupdQuestions doesn't allow NSFW topics
!AskLemmyNSFW@lemmynsfw.com was created explicitly for NSFW questions.
and Pootz has to come up with some whopper lies to say it was all worthwhile.
I think that it largely is oriented around the whole of NATO being trying to attack Russia and Russia trying to defend itself.
Further complicating this, the Threadiverse also has "display names" for communities
something which I think is probably a mistake
and one has to know how to get the actual name for the bang-syntax link. For example, the display name here is "New Communities", but the actual community name is "newcommunities".
I'd like standard bang syntax to be able to link to a post and comment as well in a home-instance-agnostic fashion. That doesn't exist today, and we can't really do it today without Mbin, Lemmy, and PieFed adding support.
You could maybe do it in some environments that want year-round heating, but yeah, the UK doesn't seem like the best place for that.
For some uses, there might also be physical security concerns for the servers.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed a lawsuit against the City of El Cajon, accusing its police department of repeatedly violating state law by sharing automated license plate reader (ALPR) data with law enforcement agencies in more than two dozen states.
I mean, this was kind of guaranteed to happen once ALPRs rolled out. Legal or not. If you don't want that information to get out, probably want to avoid having ALPRs.
I questioned Reddit doing so, and now we've got it on the Threadiverse. There are privacy issues unless your home instance is proxying images for you.
