  • Forgot about it. Ain't that "GUI friendly" but still very easy and simple process through the command line. I don't remember how it went for me, but i don't recall having too many issues with it. I'll reconsider it.

  • If you believe Google is the most reliable, you can still use it in a private way via :

    • Startpage

      Startpage is a private search engine known for serving Google and Bing search results. One of Startpage's unique features is the Anonymous View, which puts forth efforts to standardize user activity to make it more difficult to be uniquely identified. The feature can be useful for hiding some network and browser properties.

    • SearxNG https://searxng.org/

      SearXNG is an open-source, self-hostable, metasearch engine, aggregating the results of other search engines while not storing any information itself.

    There's plenty of public instances too https://searx.space/

    • Whoogle https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search

      Get Google search results, but without any ads, JavaScript, AMP links, cookies, or IP address tracking. Easily deployable in one click as a Docker app, and customizable with a single config file.

    Couple of public instances too. Basically SearxNG with ONLY google as a source. https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search#public-instances

  • A tad unrelated, they are complaining mostly about the sold micro-nas they sell.

  • Well, i believe in all showcased cases from people here, they are NOT replacing sudo entirely (Except if some are from BSD or if I'm incorrect with this assumption). They are just replacing their user habit with doas and use that command instead. In the end, all unix scripts or apps expect using sudo (If not, su) so... ### What's even the need to ?

    • Size : Installed on top of the already system present sudo.
    • Security : Only perhaps if you made a sudo alias to doas (But since it isn't entirely 1:1 identical, if anyone have a cleaner way of implementing that, I'm all hear)
    • Simplicity : You now have two tools. A easy to use keycard, and a key. The second is more complicated to use, so you use it rarely but it's still two tools instead of one.
    • Less dependencies : Again, unless you can actually replace it ENTIRELY, it's just an added tool (Still almost dependency free)

    Really looking to corrections if i do some

  • Use the main app in Firefox as a Progressive Web App. Their app is just more a PWA container

  • Molly is a fork of the Signal app. Worth checking, but ain't a service.

  • That's a client, not a service. Only help ever so slightly with Discord.

  • Worthy actual open-source alternatives :

    However, I still use UmbrelOS as compared to all of those, It's the only one which seems to work well with my RPI4 and the connected drive with it, despite my modest Linux knowledge (Fedora and Arch on mobile user), and Umbrel being unsecure and retaining app versions compared to upstream.

  • Sadly still stuck on the OG lemmy.ml. Still waiting impatiently to be able to migrate my account to an another smaller instance.

  • And even that advantage can be minimized by getting any bundle of privacy products, like Proton which offer all of those (Mail, VPN, Drive, Calendar) or even with your self-hosted VPS (Some VPS seller even allow you to prepare it with Nextcloud and a VPN relay for near no extra paiement).

    I see the "pay once to one company", but you also need to trust them entirely, for EVERYTHING.

    Also, there's already plenty of companies doing such thing (regardless of how practical/private/secure they are)

  • I mean, it could also just be me too. I forgot the ticket for the shokz. Bought it "reconditioned" by Amazon for the JBL (and not possible to be repaired by JBL in that case). I would suggest you one tip from those with a back ring security thing, don't lay on the back with it. Even if you rotate it to the entire back of your neck. I didn't broke it there for those that obviously, but i feel it may have loosened it.

  • I absolutly love open ear bone conduction headphones. Really help getting to your surrounding without any audio leak from your headphones. Too bad that i never found one who didn't broke. Shockz ones broke the neck security thing and the left ear headphone. JBL ones can't be recharged anymore onto the right one, as it seems that the earphone doesn't connect fine with the pins in the charging case anymore. And i even tried a cabled one, hoping this one would break as easily. The cable broke connection and it only work if you hold the cable at a specific angle (unusuable in most usages)

  • Glad to have found one, who share the intent. It was a "polite" way of specifically pointing out those awful browsers that restrict only ManifestV3 usage. Some Chromium based projects say they reverted such change on their versions, but I'm having doubt on them, actually maintaining V2 support for themselves. This post was sponsored by the Mozilla Firefox gang.

  • Because most don't bother with having a billboard for a thing they already paid for. Even if the question of "Wow, what is that phone ?" could just be answered by the one who bought it, by themselves, instead of the interested to check out the logos and markings.

  • Actually, it's far more limited than those options. The main advantage however, is the Manifest V3 support of it, meaning that such extension can be used on limited web browser that enforce it. Which isn't a lot.
