Exactly this. Since it does not seem to be federated, you’re still forced to give your data to a third party you can’t choose. And this makes the open source aspect a rather marginal benefit, at least for the privacy-concerned end user. Still, I appreaciate the effort.

I haven’t tried it, but there is one: https://github.com/Alovoa/alovoa

Given that Google generated more than 250 billion U.S. dollars in ad revenue in 2024, I’d say they must be pretty effective.

The country’s official app for COVID immunity certificates or whatever they were called was available on F-Droid at the time.

A review from earlier this year didn’t sound too bad.

Doesn’t feel gnomey enough.

TuxedoOS because my so-called “Linux-Laptop” turned out to not run mainline Linux very smoothly. But I hate that fact that it’s Ubuntu-based.

I’d use Debian, Arch or dabble with Void if I could on my laptop, my servers run Debian or Alma.

I’ve been testing Zed for the last couple weeks for some Vue / Nuxt projects. It works great for that and seems very stable so far, but is also developed by a for-profit. Curious to see how the Zedless project works out.

I would recommed to use redundant storage, such as a RAID 1 (or 5 or 6, if you want a more advanced setup). This way your data doesn’t die with your SSD.

I must say I’m not 100% happy with my InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen 9 AMD. The build quality has very much improved since the Gen 7 (which I daily-drove before), but it feels like Tuxedo’s take on “Linux Laptop” is rather something like “Tuxedo-OS Laptop”. On Fedora I had to tweak kernel params so my laptop doesn’t wake up from sleep on its own and do the same to resolve an audio issue, and my RJ45 port just simply doesn’t work even with their drivers.

And something inside the device makes a quiet but annoying beep-like noise when the fans don’t spin.

Apart from that I love the device, but if you plan to use your own distro of choice and really want a high-quality build I’d not really recommend it.

I recently had to use a friend’s old 4gb macbook for some weeks because my laptop was stolen. I was surprised how well everything worked, even when using a few web apps in firefox. I think with using zram and avoiding web / electron apps where possible, you might get quite something out of a 4gb machine.

Just recently jumped ship from Revolut to Wise, because the former does not support de-googled android anymore. I love the fact that Wise can be fully managed through the web app.

Did you configure port forwarding properly? Otherwise it might be that leechers can’t contact you.

“Independent” browsers. Yeah right.

That’s a good point.

How on earth does this reach a 75% approval rate?

I apologize for being rude, but these are bold claims with no sources whatsoever. I mean I can understand that it might be frustrating to be called paranoid over using Tor, and there certainly use cases or threat models where it makes sense to use Tor. But this post is either a full-on conspiracy theory or carefully crafted troll content.

IIRC there is a plugin for Caddy that can do what you are looking for.

Edit: here you go

That’s been my way as well so far. I’d be interested in how logic helps you cope with questions, such as where do we come from?, where do we go?, what is our purpose?. (Not playing devil’s advocate, real interest.)

That’s interesting, how did you come to that?

One could as well argue that it’s crazy to just “wake up” in some place, having no clue about where we come from and where we go. Constructing some “made up fantasy shit” might be a way to cope with that void.

If it’s not your way that’s perfectly fine, but I would still appreciate a respectful discussion.
