If you know how to write scripts in bash, that is an alternative way to trigger night mode/dark themes. You can use curl wttr.in to get your local sunrise/sunset, write a simple IF statement if the time is greater than sunset/sunrise and automate it via cron/systemD.
Alternatively, there are a few options floating around on GitHub iirc
It is Google's attempt to limit what is possible within a chromium browser. It will potentially lead to the demise of numerous ad blocking extensions for example. It is one of the driving forces that encouraged me to move to Firefox to be honest.
It automatically redirects websites. So for example every time that I go to a site that has unscrupulous marketing and tracking, I can potentially use a privacy friendly front end alternative website. For example, every time I visit a Reddit link, it can redirect me to a teddit link, which is a front end alternative that strips out the marketing. These front end alternatives apply to a variety of websites such as YouTube, Urban dictionary, Wikipedia, etc.
You can find either of the listed extensions on GitHub to install them
Glad to see a detailed review that also doubles as an installation guide. I definitely had anxiety following the docs when I took the plunge last year.
Sometimes it's hard to feel sorry for Apple users given the amount of repeated nickeling and diming they go through,yet make excuses for (as seen in the comments). Definitely shades of battered woman syndrome
No offense but I don't think you know more than Pew research when it comes to polling sample sizes and whether or not they are representative of the larger demographic.
I would focus more on what we can do about it and less on burying our heads in the sand
Not in my experience. I am running a docker container and it is one of +10 containers running on my server which is basically a laptop from a few years ago. So far no issues.
Someone already gave an extensive comment about how to set things up so I will skip that part.
Good observation re: self hosting potentially reducing privacy. The way that I keep my privacy during self-hosting is to completely avoid search engines that track my IP address, and then, ideally, although the remaining search engines are less efficient than the likes of Google or Bing, the fact that the results are aggregated hopefully increase the efficiency of the results.
For my default searches, it uses mwmbl, mojeek & qwant
I self-host searXNG, but you can use one of the public instances as well. My understanding is that it is more secure because you're search results are commingled with whoever else uses the instance, but you also can use something like libredirect to further distribute your search results across various instances for further security
I am self hosting my version so that is where my screenshot came from.
If I were looking for a public instance to use that has this functionality, I'd look to some of the European hosts as they are less likely to use Reddit as their de facto platform relative to Americans
This feels like a blog, in a good way. It's interesting perspective hearing a Linux user work their way through issues, instead of the norm of being a seasoned vet. let me know if you have a blog and I'll throw it on my RSS feed.
