What is your culture's most known food?

Reply in thread

We don't call it EDM here, that is a dirty "word" ;) but yeh, there are still some great nights depending on where you are. I went to an old skool hardcore night recently that was fucking sick and most big towns and cities you can find decent drum and bass nights. Plenty of Jungalist nights in that same vein too.

If you are in Brighton, Bristol or London you can find decent proper dubstep nights (not that American brostep crap) and I'm sure there are others out there.

I'm certain all kinds of flavours of house and techno etc are out there too just less my wheelhouse.

The best part about all of these nights though, at least in my area of interest, they are all taking place in small, dark and dingy clubs with absolutely sick sound systems. The way it should be! You haven't lived until you are chewing your face off at 5 am standing next to the bass bins feeling the music course through you whilst having a life altering epiphany xD

Haha yeh I get you, it is definitely used more in the US as here the general populace tend to know what the bigger genres such as dnb, house etc are so dont need a catch all concept.

Ah Dom Whiting, yeh I know that guy. I remember seeing his videos years ago when he only had a few people following around. He was in my city this year and I joined in the ride for a bit. Absolute chaos but mad vibes! Definitely need more of that in the world these days!

How to host a community?

I don't know why you have posted this here but if your instance accepts anyone creating new communities it would just be a case of logging in on a browser and then you should have a "create community" option in the "burger" menu.

Do consider though not making more communities on Lemmy.world, there are already far too many communities hosted on there. Ignoring the extremely questionable opinions and actions of the Lemmy.world admins it is counter productive towards decentralisation to keep having so many communities hosted there. We don't need another reddit.

Good luck with your communities :)

Suggested setup for stremio+debrid?

I use a combo of premiumize as a debrid service and then Comet, Media fusion and torrentio. The only issues I ever have is with really obscure documentaries and that is usually an issue based on availability rather than the service.

I still default to picking torrentio served links over the other two as they are most reliable.

Here is a list of some available add ons that you could try out but my guess is your problem is probably real debrid. I sacked them off as soon as they started fucking about a couple of years ago or whatever it was and premiumize has worked pretty much flawlessly since.

*Cheeky nandos*

Translation:

It is hard to explain my friend.

It is as if one day you'll be with your friends, browsing in JD Sports (sports shop) and you fancy a curry from the "curry club" menu at Wetherspoons (a nationwide chain of drinking establishments that serve "pub" style food).

However your friend who is male, called Callum, who is also an absolute legend and the epitome of banter (friendly and humerous conversation of a non-serious manner) will say "Brethren (an old fashioned way of referring to a friend you consider a brother) let's have a naughty Nandos (a chain restaurant that specialises in Peri Peri style chicken) instead"

Consequently you will think "Most excellent, let's go there and excel at the process of ordering and eating food"

Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency

Why repost this with the sensationalist headline but not include the context provided in the comments by @[email protected]

"The author omitted the complete statement from Reddit:

Hi everyone,

No, Proton did not knowingly block journalists’ email accounts. Our support for journalists and those working in the public interest has been demonstrated time and again through actions, not just words.

In this case, we were alerted by a CERT that certain accounts were being misused by hackers in violation of Proton’s Terms of Service. This led to a cluster of accounts being disabled.

Because of our zero-access architecture, we cannot see the content of accounts and therefore cannot always know when anti-abuse measures may inadvertently affect legitimate activism.

Our team has reviewed these cases individually to determine if any can be restored. We have now reinstated 2 accounts, but there are other accounts we cannot reinstate due to clear ToS violations.

Regarding Phrack’s claim on contacting our legal team 8 times: this is not true. We have only received two emails to our legal team inbox, last one on Sep 6 with a 48-hour deadline. This is unrealistic for a company the size of Proton, especially since the message was sent to our legal team inbox on a Saturday, rather than through the proper customer support channels.

The situation has unfortunately been blown out of proportion without giving us a fair chance to respond to the initial outreach."
