I would still always be worried it'd been silently bot netted or something if it's accessible, even through cloudflare

I guess cloudflare does a lot to stop attacks from bots though right?

65t regular when I got it was about £80 I think, very good for the price I think

Is that not essentially the same issue as opening your firewall though? You're still taking requests from outside your network into your network without any authentication until they actually hit the server

Either you make a deal with the devil or use the company that made the deal so you don't have to

Floorp is just Firefox with some extensions, Vivaldi iirc is still chromium underneath etc etc

Your best option is just plain old Firefox configured the way you like it

There are a couple of new "from the ground up" browsers being developed at the moment but they aren't ready from what I understand

People have already answered well enough though many of them mention IP addresses and you said you were non techy so wanted to add this

Giving away your IP address is not that big a deal, you do it every time you visit a website without a VPN or connect to pretty much any web service

(You still shouldn't post it publicly of course but it's unlikely your employer is going to dox you, and if they do it's probably illegal)

They didn't say their employer needed them to do it, they said they wanted to

As others have pointed out duo seems to collect pretty minimal data

The problem for me is I believe you need to open your network firewall for Lemmy and other federated services to work right?

Not really a fan of opening up more attack surface on my home network

I feel like here is not much better unless the advice is about technology

I wonder if they'd mind someone mirroring their content, but with the one difference that anyone can edit, any time with no restrictions, spam blocking, vetting etc

See what chaos ensues

Whether they're trustworthy or not I'm not sure, but they've not failed me yet

I tend to go for those "2024 top 10 x" lists, jabra 65t was a very good recommendation from there, my toaster, probably a bunch of other things I've now forgotten about

I mean that seems like a better way to do it, I'm assuming these things last for years by the fact I've never had to replace one or even know about it

How is it only charging when plugged in an issue if it lasts longer than the laptop's own battery

I guess if you don't use it for long enough it depletes while powered off

I'm sure as shit trusting proton over some random public network in a cafe setup by some random open reach engineer or something

Oh my god this is so true

Makes me so irrationally angry especially when the person in question keeps cutting them off halfway through sentences

Ex used to do this all the time

I'd jump on the bandwagon of nixos, I use it myself and love it, does exactly what you're asking for

However judging on some of your other comments it might be a better idea to just suck up having to manually rebuild until you understand the basics of Linux a little better

(nixos more or less requires you understand programming syntax for writing your system config)

Your settings for the most part are in your home directory, generally when you install a Linux system everything that isn't the bootloader is on one partition (system, installed applications, etc)

Your home directory is for anything specific to your user, meaning your downloads folder, your pictures, documents and also your .config folder which holds 90% of the config files

There are some weird ones that have directories outside of home, afaik that's stuff like network manager remembering your saved networks that runs outside of your user context

That's fair, I've found wayland to generally be pretty good with Linux now and you can pry hyprland from my cold dead hands

You could get one of those drying rack things with all the hooks/clips, put them all on that, then spin it and grab one at random
