  • Is there an Android app for LibreWolf? (eom)

    Jump

  • No, but IronFox is a great privacy fork for Android.

  • See, but there's not a class below you. There are only upper class and lower class at this point. You treating the rest of your class poorly will not get you any further in life, because you are not upper class.

  • You can't control what others do to you, but that's no reason to make the same people in your class miserable. That's my point. Perpetuating the poor behavior will only make the world a harsher place, and that could eventually come right back to you.

  • Because you shouldn't want to make the world harder for anyone else, and should be able to put yourself in someone else's shoes and see how they'd feel from your poor treatment of them.

  • What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread

    Jump

  • I don't mean to sound hostile, that's probably my past demons coming out. Like I said in my last comment, it's really apt that I hate. It would constantly break or put me into dependency hell and I haven't had to deal with that (yet) with Fedora.

    I haven't put my finger on it, but Fedora, for whatever reason, also just feels faster.

  • What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread

    Jump

  • It's mostly personal preference, but I have grown to hate apt in general. I used it for over a decade and constantly got in dependency hell. I've yet to have anything like that happen on Fedora, especially Silverblue and CoreOS.

  • My pihole exploded yesterday, all my fault. A couple of years ago, I created a script called via cron to update pihole's services every other week. This was great, until now when it updated to v6 at 4am. To make matters worse, I neglected to automate raspian updates, meaning it was very out of date, and was no longer compatible with pihole-FTL (thinking back, I thought I automated it too, but I guess not).

    I took an image after creating a pihole "teleporter" backup, and began formatting. In my lack of caffeine and focus, I missed that my teleporter file was corrupt after I had successfully wiped the SD card. Thankfully I had that image as I was able to mount it and retrieve my blocklists via sqlite, otherwise I would have had to start from scratch.

    One good thing that came out of it (for my taste, anyway) was that I swapped the OS on the pi to fedora. No more debian around here!

    Tomorrow, I plan on setting up some backup automation for my pi, as it's the only machine missing backups at this point.

  • Tuta is fantastic.

  • Tuta has a catch-all option that you could consider. Makes it so you can make any email address under your domain and it'll get to your mailbox.

  • If only other cables were this easy to make, like HDMI :(

    Jump

  • I've only ever had spooled stranded cable (with solid copper strands). It's very good for making patch cables.

  • Removing Jeff Bezos From My Bed ◆ Truffle Security Co.

    Jump

  • You can build a simple bed presence sensor using one of those pressure mats used to hook up to alarms in nursing homes and a water/leak detector (I use the aqara detector for this). You just have to strip off the end of the cable from the mat, find the wires that do the circuit inside of the mat (I just used the leak sensor to find them) and wire it up to the sensor. Boom, bed presence sensor! Of course, this doesn't track your sleep directly.

  • Is there an authoritative BEST secure messaging app for my phone? Is it Signal? It's hard to keep up?

    Jump

  • Signal via Molly seems like the best option at the moment. Molly is a third party client that allows for even more protections like database encryption and getting rid of Google firebase notifications, for example.

  • Is there an authoritative BEST secure messaging app for my phone? Is it Signal? It's hard to keep up?

    Jump

  • Molly is fantastic. Maybe someday I'll be able to convince people to get on Matrix, but we're not there yet. Plus there's all of the metadata that comes along with using Matrix.

  • Mail-in-a-Box - simple email server

    Jump

  • Yep, pretty much. It used to be doable, but these days it's very difficult. It's certainly not impossible, but one slipup and you could get on the deny list forever. It's just not worth it, since emails are usually pretty mission critical, imo.

  • Mail-in-a-Box - simple email server

    Jump

  • It should be noted that email servers, no matter the setup, require you to follow strict standards to achieve proper delivery. It's very easy to get blacklisted, and it's next to impossible to get off of said blacklist once you're on it.

    I used to host my own mail server with this, but it got to be too much to get my emails to actually send. I was always wondering if my email was actually delivered or if it was silently bounced or sent to spam. Email is the only thing I'm not willing to self host.

  • Google Calendar Malware Is on the Rise. Here’s How To Stay Safe

    Jump

  • Both Proton and Tuta have almost all of those except for maps. For maps, just use Organic Maps or OsmAnd.

    I use all of mine separately anyway, because I care about my privacy and it works better. Google products have become so enshittified and bloated that most alternatives are faster at this point.
