Avis sur les comptes courants rémunérés (néobanques...)

Certaines neobanques/fintech proposent des comptes courants rémunérés. De tête je peux citer :

  • Trading 212: 3% (varie parfois, (très) léger risque)
  • Trade republic: taux d’intérêt de la BCE, actuellement 2,75% -> 2,5%
  • Sumeria: 2% (si 15+ transactions par carte/mois)

Tous les taux d’intérêts cités sont bruts

Je trouve que c’est une bonne option qui est garantie sans risque (sauf exceptions avec risques légers) et qui est beaucoup plus simple que d’autres moyens, et qui permet de retirer à n’importe quel moment.

Quel est votre avis la dessus ? J’ai l’impression que la plupart des conseils tournent autour des moyens + traditionnels, mais je trouve que pour un profil safe c’est un bon +

LibreWolf's defaults are too strict and slow down adoption

I believe LibreWolf's defaults are too strict and slow down adoption. Most options are either : all or nothing. No in-between.

Sadly, I believe the default settings are too strict and will slow down adoption by the mass, which would in term bring a better anonymity set.

It's not a great alternative to Firefox because LibreWolf is just not usable for the daily user: no DRM, no cookies, no history, websites that break... The browser should let the user choose:

  • Maximum compatibility (more tracking)
  • Mid-option (like a modded firefox but without the annoyances like cookies not being stored, having a fixed size, or forced light-mode/timezone)
  • Best privacy (pretty much the current mode)

I find myself forced to edit the default settings which is a huge privacy/fingerprinting risk. If we create 'settings groups', yes, the privacy will be hurt, but at least we will be more in each group.

What do you think about this?

Opinions on walkable tiles

I think the game should really prevent you from placing objects on walkable tiles instead of having them be deleted when NPCs walk on it. It’s not intuitive at all. What do you think about this?

I wonder what happens with the mini shipping box as well. Its description says that you can place it wherever you want but I feel like it’s just going to be destroyed.

Infos about how Lemmy works (technical POV)

Hi! Does anyone have a ressource to explain how Lemmy works in terms of the more complicated stuff, as:

  • If a community is hosted on instance A and a user that’s on instance B creates a post in this community, is the post hosted on A, B? Or are individual comments hosted on the instance of their respective authors?
  • what happens when your account gets deleted? Are all my messages deleted? Does this happen to all instances (it syncs the deletion?)
  • do instances cache posts and comments posted on other instances? If so, RAM or disk?
  • will having too many instances increase the load of all instances? (If they all have to sync?)
  • if I want to check the comments of a post, does my client ask this to my instance of to the instance of the author or to the community's instance?

Questions like this. I guess most will be answered by explaining deeply how ActivityPub works but if anyone has that info, please share :)

Nice iOS mail client app?

crossposted from : https://jlai.lu/post/15113385

Does anyone know a nice iOS mail client app? Preferably open-source.

I don't really care about E2EE, PGP.., and it should have notifications. Best thing would be that I can self-host the notifications server OR have a notifications server running that's open-source (so Canary Mail it out of the question)

I want another client that isn't Apple Mail also

So far I found Preside but sadly it isn't open-source

Linux Mint's website uses Google Adsense

Update: Mint's website doesn't actually seem to be using Adsense. It might be a mention that hasn't been removed from the privacy policy.

The Linux Mint website uses google Adsense to sell your browsing data to google so they can better track your preferences and deliver personalized ads…

They state they do it for the money. Pretty scammy from my opinion. They should remove all the google things from their website (including analytics) and use their own solution instead.

Kraken is delisting Monero in the EEA (Europe)

Sent by email :


Kraken continuously reviews listed tokens to determine the impact from regulatory changes on our offerings.

As one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency platforms, we are constantly working to support the most comprehensive set of digital assets possible in alignment with applicable regulatory and compliance obligations.

What’s changing?

After thorough consideration, and exploration of all viable alternatives, we concluded we have no choice but to delist Monero (XMR) in the European Economic Area (EEA) due to regulatory changes.

We did not take this decision lightly and remain committed to providing our European clients with an exceptional trading experience.

What’s next?

  • On October 31st 2024 at 15:00 PM UTC, we will halt trading and deposits of all XMR markets (XMR/USD, XMR/EUR, XMR/BTC, XMR/USDT) for clients registered in the EEA. Any open XMR orders will also be automatically closed at this time. Note: Clients will remain able to withdraw XMR on Kraken until December 31st, 2024.
  • December 31st 2024 at 15:00 PM UTC is the deadline for withdrawing XMR. Any clients still holding an XMR balance after this date will have their XMR automatically converted to BTC by Kraken at the going market rate.
  • By January 6th 2025 23:59 PM UTC, we will distribute the converted XMR as BTC back to any clients who held XMR at the withdrawal deadline.

Any clients who hold an XMR balance at the time of the withdrawal deadline will be automatically included in the conversion of XMR to BTC.

As a leading cryptocurrency exchange, Kraken remains mission-driven and committed to supporting the most comprehensive set of digital assets possible, in alignment with our regulatory and compliance obligations.

We appreciate your understanding and ongoing support as we navigate the evolving regulatory landscape.

Recent sync deletions feature can make you lose a conversation

Just a little post to make you aware that a recent update that allowed synchronized deletion of messages between devices (ex: deleting a message for yourself only on your computer will delete it on your phone as well) also applies to the feature to completely delete a conversation.

This previously didn’t happen and is a bit annoying as I just accidentally deleted a few conversations from both my phone and computer because I was used to deleting conversations on my computer (as they’re pretty much stored unencrypted and I don’t like it)

So sadly I thought this change wouldn’t affect this feature but it did, so that’s annoying, I just lost a ton of messages and media

Apps to track which movies / series I watched (JustWatch, ...)

I would like to know if any of you use an app or website/service to track your progress in series, or which movies you’ve seen.

The platform should also indicate where (streaming services) the movie/series is available

I’m currently using Justwatch but they probably sell a lot of user data, and some of the availability infos for some shows is wrong, and after contacting them to report this, they were of no help and didn’t understand what I asked. Seems like they only check the US catalog of the streaming services and don’t report it country per country, which is preferable.

Slow mail transfer

Don’t you find that mail transfers are a bit slow compared to when directly using an email? I receive mails in under 2 seconds without addy, and it takes 10 to 30s with addy to receive mail

I would have hoped for faster mail delivery, it can slow things down when receiving 2FA codes by mail

Pixeldrain (filesharing website) now accepts Monero!

Just a little announcement to say that Pixeldrain (a file sharing website) now accepts Monero for its prepaid subscription option. Minimum deposit is $10.

I’m not paid or anything, it’s just a website that I like that is developed by a solo developer (+ they open sourced a big part of the website). After begging for some time they accepted and added Monero to their BTCPay server.

Serveur Mastodon français sans censure politique

Quelqu'un pourrait me conseiller un bon serveur Mastodon français ou francophone sans censure politique orientée ?

De mon expérience, les instances qui disent que seules les fausses infos et les discriminations sont bannies ont tout de même tendance à censurer certaines opinions. Le plus visé est évidemment les propos d'extrême droite, mais j'ai aussi trouvé des cas censurant toutes les opinions de droite ou d'extrême gauche.

Ma liste des serveurs qui semblent ou sont politiquement orientés et/ou pratiquent une censure politique et selon moi injuste sur certains sujets :

  • piaille.fr
    • Raison: "Est interdit toute tentative de retournement d’une oppression systémique. Par exemple : « racisme anti-blanc », « sexisme anti-homme », « hétérophobie », « cisphobie »."
  • rivals.space
    • Raison: J'ai été banni de l'instance et de leur discord lorsque j'ai demandé des explications. Mon post n'était pas spécialement orienté. Je peux fournir plus d'infos si nécessaire. Visiblement ne pas être d'accord avec des anti-capitalistes est interdit.
  • h4.io
    • Raison: "Les tentatives de retournement d'oppressions systémiques ("racisme anti-blanc, sexisme anti-homme, hétérophobie, cisphobie, etc) sont proscrites."
  • mastoot.fr
    • Raison: Toutes les idées de droite sont interdites. A éviter. ("Pas de diffusion des idées/propagande d’extrême droite, des droites et LReM")
  • tooter.social
    • Raison: "Pas de diffusion des idées d’extrême droite"
  • toot.aquilenet.fr
    • Raison: "Les propos, écrits, idées d'extrême-droite prônant l'intolérance ne sont pas bienvenu⋅es. Il en va de même pour le confusionnisme." -> en soit rien de perturbant, mais ça laisse penser que la modération est orientée, et que la censure est très fortement possible.
    • "Pas de prosélytisme, sous quelque forme qu'il soit." -> peut laisser penser qu'il y aura une censure sur les débats et discussion religieuses, spécifiquement sur les pro-religion.
  • mastodon.zaclys.com
    • Raison: "Sexe, violence, extrémismes en tous genres, et trolls ne sont pas les bienvenus"
  • tooting.ch
    • Raison: Certaines règles peuvent laisser penser à une censure de certaines opinions politique, à voir.
  • travelpandas.fr
    • Raison: "Pas de propagande" -> au sens strict ou large ? Tout embellissement ou avis positif envers un/des sujets politiques peut-il être considéré comme propagande et donc être censuré ?
  • tchafia.be
    • Raison: "Est interdit toute tentative de retournement d’une oppression systémique. Par exemple : « racisme anti-blanc », « sexisme anti-homme », « hétérophobie », « cisphobie »."

On a donc 10 sur 13 serveurs français dans la catégorie "Général" sur https://joinmastodon.org/fr/servers qui sont dans cette liste. Je trouve ça plutôt alarmant.
