  • Or you can also not care what other people think. I think proton.me sounds pretty cool. I'm a physicist too so it kinda makes sense. Tutanota allows quite a few short domains; tuta.io sounds a bit funny but it's short enough to not be strange.

    When I am forced to give my email for electronic receipts in shops though...it's a full on {shop_name}@handle.anonaddy.me. No issues or weird looks so far.

  • I've got the Tensor chip on mine so I want to leverage the stock Google Camera's performance. I downloaded it directly from the Play Store, and it is the smoothest out of all the other options I've tried from F-Droid (Stock GOS camera app, Libre Camera and Open Camera). I use GCAM without network permission (I know I know, this doesn't mean it can't talk to Google Play Services), and then use Hail with Shizuku to "freeze" all the Google sandboxing stuff like Services, Playstore, Framework, etc.

  • I would second Adguard Home. They have a lot of presets for blocking online services. You can add persistent clients, which can be identified with MAC/IP, select the presets you want to disable, and also have custom block/access rules for those clients.

  • A blog, although I haven't written much.

  • Is the zen kernel actually still more performant? I remember a long thread in the linux subreddit from some kernel developer recommending against zen for gaming now and for tkg-dps scheduler (among others) instead.

  • Then are you using NetworkManager? Or dhcpcd? As there are a few ways to resolve DNS on Linux so it depends on what you're using.

    Have you looked into /etc/resolv.conf ? Whichever method you're using for your network configuration might be overwriting the defaults in there.

    edit: letter

  • Are you using systemd-resolved and systemd-networkd? If so, have you checked and double checked you set up your config with the appropriate lines in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf and /etc/systemd/network/*.network?

    Also make sure to reload the appropriate systemd unit files after changing network and DNS configuration (you don't have to restart).

    Maybe this can help?

  • I agree the post is cringe, my brain somehow just thought I'd make a dry slightly related remark (context below) and it ended up sounding a bit too serious.

    The context was that I've seen quite a few angry/troll posts elsewhere on this instance recently complaining there are too many Linux communities on here, and I found this post to be the other extreme.

  • There's also this one if you like it lightweight.

  • As others have mentioned, I really recommend StreetComplete. I used it for my city and it's a nice and helpful way as well to walk around what would otherwise be a boring scenery I've seen too many times.

    I do get looks when I walk up and down stairs trying to count the steps though.

  • Migrated redditors who are mad that the FOSS platform they're using attracts Linux users.

  • Tech involves objective facts, scientific reasoning, and logic

    Maybe the making of tech is, but its application and relevance in modern society is, at the end of the day, a sociological phenomenon.

  • Not specifically about podcasts, but I think there's a minority (?) of privacy/security enthusiasts who are pretty overtly right-wing libertarians, often because those technologies are anti-establishment. Think Luke Smith. I've also met people in the tech sphere (both on the I love Big Tech as well as FOSS side) who have very traditionalist, borderline right-wing opinions.

  • I checked Izzy and last update was a month ago, I don't sync the Session Fdroid repo but it must be from them then. It could be a mistake/problem with executing the build. I wouldn't worry too much but maybe use Hypatia and run a scan just to be sure.

  • Huh? What repository is this from? On Neo Store I can only see the proper Session

  • UK sim provider user here, no problem with GrapheneOS at all. I would say it's worth switching to a Pixel device for the ability to relock the bootloader. You can find second hand ones in the UK on Ebay basically at all times.

    In terms of other free OS's, someone's already put the effort in and curate one here:
