Riseup VPN is not a commercial VPN and works in a different way that most VPN, basically it allow you to root traffic through their foundation's servers. You have no guarantee to have great speed at any time or based on your current geolocation. Remember that a VPN does not bring privacy or anonymity but yes for a free VPN it's better than the majority of options.

When playing the exact same games on the exact same machine with NVidia GPU you can get 8-20% better performance on Windows compared to Linux. On the AMD side you can get up to 5% boost on Linux, that's just the reality. Though you could also loose 5% performance compared to Windows in some games.

And to answer your question it should have been around 2022.

Piracy...

Does GrayJay uses an Invidious or Piped instance ? I'm pretty sure it connect to YouTube directly like NewPipe does.

Simply use LibreTube as your YouTube client as it uses Piped instead of YouTube directly.

GrapheneOS let you disable internet access permission before installing an app. I think you can disable it on OnePlus too but after installing the app. Probably other manufacters has this feature in their Android flavors. But yes running NetGuard isn't ideal in many scenarios.

The protocole is fine I think the real problem is the synapse implementation but I could be wrong on that take I am no expert.

If you're on Linux AMD is clearly superior because NVidia has Linux performance issue compared to Windows so you're ending up paying more for less. However NVidia has the monopole for a reason their product are superior but at what price ? Also if you want to avoid proprietary drivers AMD gets the win too.

I do think AMD is the better option for anyone that spend less than 800-1'000$ on a GPU even for Windows gamers. Personnaly I have made the switch from NVidia to AMD 2 years after ditching Windows for Linux, Never looked back even though Cyberpunk2077 looks amazing on NVidia RTX and some other things.

I have upgraded last year to a RX 7800 XT and have no regrets on spending that money.

For me connecting it to a Windows machine and updating the controller firmware made it works. Apparently you could do that using Bottles (wine) directly on your Linux distro.

f.lux ?

You can use HeliBoard that has no internet access (because it's a fucking keyboard) and load the Google library for swiping words. It works like a charm !

You can use GBoard and block telemetry behind a firewall or not giving the app internet access if your OS support that feature. Personnaly I prefer using FOSS such as HeliBoard !

Security is also about backups. 3 Replicas 2 Formats 1 Offsite location

Will have to test that !

Will take a read thx !

Why are they bastards ? I am using Orion for some of my web browsing which is a Kagi product.

I was sure that KeePassXC had an Android client but it seems like my memory tricked me. I do prefer the overall UX of KeePassDX but when I tried several Android KeePass clients during the pandemic I remember that KePass2Droid had an easier Nextcloud sync setup than what KeePassDX offered.

Never tried it but here is a review from Techlore on PeerTube: https://neat.tube/w/6P1mzGYYivN6U4PK3bMUi5

Easier to setup sync for noobs, however this was years ago maybe it has changed since on DX
