If you're on Lemmy, you almost certainly understand the problem and know how to acturally own digital stuff.

The problem is all the normies who can't even see the problem. We need everyone to be protected by law and it all to be citizen oriented. As the moment, it's all stacked in favour of exploitive multinational companies. Maybe ever was it so, but we need to fight that.

We treat it as a tech problem, something to work round, but it's a political problem and we need to solve it politically.

Only if the DRM is broken. DRM can make the player stop working sooner. It's literally about making the media less playable.

It's all documented what it all means. If you keep using all this stuff, it will become normal. Like anything does. When you're familiar with the command line, it is a leveling up in what you can do and how much computer you need to do it.

Did you try a search for "mdadm GUI"? I found Webmim that has a mdadm GUI (https://webmin.com/docs/modules/linux-raid/) but no idea if it's ok.

ARM and RISC-V not hardware that is auto-discoverable. It's the hardware not the software that is the problem.

mdadm is not bad, it's just command line. There is loads of help out there too. Not obscure link: https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/A_guide_to_mdadm

I get the impression your real problem is the command line. I can't emphasize enough how much it is worth getting comfortable on the command line. It's where the power is, on all platforms, and is fundamentally simplier than GUIs. The big secret is that it isn't hard.

Fines = legal for a price.

"Demo magic", it's everywhere. Always has been, always will be.

Yer, I used Rethink DNS in F-Droid to test this already. Basically it's fine when the DNS is encrypted.

Edit: I was wrong. It was just working again generally.Even with DoH DNS, I still see "Access denied" going to duckdns.org and my sites still don't work. Direct IP works. Not sure how this block is working yet.

I've tried it with F-Droid's Rethink DNS already and everything is fine then.

Pretty sure they are doing DNS packet inspection. If the DNS is to duckdns (and no doubt other Dynamic DNS), then port 80 has their block page, and not sure what they are doing with 443, but it's not accepted.

Boringly, it's not being messed with right now. It's done this before. Coming and going. It's one of the things that stopped me working it out before.

I tried their help chat bot and it just said to install their app after a few exchanges. My phone is de-googled, so good chance their app won't work. Plus, I avoid installing closed apps as it is unhygienic. Each one seams to demand access to contacts and location and won't work if you deny it. Dystopian present, let alone future.

Pretty sure they are working via DNS packet inspection.
