Similarly, there’s System Admin Girl★まんがでわかるLinux シス管系女子 Imported a physical edition just for the quirky factor of a Linux Admin manga, but it is pretty well made and does explain pretty well some bits (even if from the first episode, they explain how to do VNC if i remember, from a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS desktop, so fairly easy and old) but it still on-going !
Hello. I’m looking for a more private (for obicous reasons) and fast discord client for android, since the app is terrible and preforms terribly on my relatively old phone. I can’t change to something like matrix/signal, since I can’t convert other people.
SpoilerNone of them exist on Android. You have Discord clients mods like the recommended pre-react version, Aliucord which while outdated (But still working and supported by the project !) fix the slowness issues of the current version. Vencord has a proof-of-concept WPA app too but it’s still mostly just browsing the main website so it ain’t ideal. I would like to point out Beeper www.beeper.com, which is Matrix based and aim to easily use their self-hosted (Or your self-hosted !) bridges to different services, including Discord ! Not ideal outside of small servers or just DM’s however (but you can customize which synced servers you want in it).
You could just also use your own VPS but i digress. It seems they plan on keeping their app proprietary with just the bridge tools to be able to be used with their app. (You could do use the individual matrix-bridges services however as an alternative but again, Beeper seems to be the only service that offer such hosting for direct usage)
Would need it’s own submission, but still have to point out. NSA, if you are indeed watched, will try to track you on every other websites. Using a third-party Wikipedia proxy won’t change a thing. Read the actual text on the wikiless README.md, even them just explain that NSA is interested in Wikipedia tracking, and haven’t been known to have compromised it so far.
What is that “(pretty flimsy) verification method” you are referring to ? Keyoxide is basically a web-interface (and accompanying tutorials) for PGP/ASP proofs. If you and your colleage know how, it’s not for you. I do think having a “web-PGP” passport page is easier to share, especially for just non-techy people.
Actually, tracking the extremely unique individual with sometime, nonsensical features is making you hyper-easy to track on websites. Maybe it could be useful per browsing sessions, but every 60 seconds in non-sensical, a compatibility nightmare and defeat even the deception method of faking your browser features.
It is as effective as uBlock with the same settings. The ad-deception “auto-clicking” method shouldn’t and doesn’t have any results to the end-user as it should just confuse the ads companies themselves. Still looking forward to potential documentation on how effective it may or may not be nowadays.
I understand firefox is free software and greatly customisable. I think forks like LibreWolf are fantastic. But I believe the FOSS community needs to be more critical of mozilla. They haven’t been the sharpest tool in the drawer for a while…...
If you believe Google is the most reliable, you can still use it in a private way via :
Startpage
Startpage is a private search engine known for serving Google and Bing search results. One of Startpage’s unique features is the Anonymous View, which puts forth efforts to standardize user activity to make it more difficult to be uniquely identified. The feature can be useful for hiding some network and browser properties.
Get Google search results, but without any ads, JavaScript, AMP links, cookies, or IP address tracking. Easily deployable in one click as a Docker app, and customizable with a single config file.
They do, but it’s still separated from that business. At worse, it’s more an ethical issue of using something that an Ad company own, exactly like using Google with or without proxies services.web.archive.org/web/…/relisting-startpage/
However, I still use UmbrelOS as compared to all of those, It’s the only one which seems to work well with my RPI4 and the connected drive with it, despite my modest Linux knowledge (Fedora and Arch on mobile user), and Umbrel being unsecure and retaining app versions compared to upstream.
Forgot about it. Ain’t that “GUI friendly” but still very easy and simple process through the command line. I don’t remember how it went for me, but i don’t recall having too many issues with it. I’ll reconsider it.
I tested out revolt and element. Out of the two element seems to be the most well rounded. What do you people use to replace discord to protect your privacy?
I see people talking about doas saying it’s just like sudo but with less features. I’m just wondering if there is any situation where you should use doas or if it’s just personal preference.
Well, i believe in all showcased cases from people here, they are NOT replacing sudo entirely (Except if some are from BSD or if I’m incorrect with this assumption). They are just replacing their user habit with doas and use that command instead. In the end, all unix scripts or apps expect using sudo (If not, su) so… ### What’s even the need to ?
Size : Installed on top of the already system present sudo.
Security : Only perhaps if you made a sudo alias to doas (But since it isn’t entirely 1:1 identical, if anyone have a cleaner way of implementing that, I’m all hear)
Simplicity : You now have two tools. A easy to use keycard, and a key. The second is more complicated to use, so you use it rarely but it’s still two tools instead of one.
Less dependencies : Again, unless you can actually replace it ENTIRELY, it’s just an added tool (Still almost dependency free)
Actually, it’s far more limited than those options. The main advantage however, is the Manifest V3 support of it, meaning that such extension can be used on limited web browser that enforce it. Which isn’t a lot.
Glad to have found one, who share the intent. It was a “polite” way of specifically pointing out those awful browsers that restrict only ManifestV3 usage. Some Chromium based projects say they reverted such change on their versions, but I’m having doubt on them, actually maintaining V2 support for themselves.

Try helping ScreenPlay support Linux, it’s probably the closest alternative other than that kde-plasma reverse engineering port of Wallpaper Engine. You just need to compile it manually. screen-play.appgitlab.com/kelteseth/ScreenPlay
github.com/reMarkable/linuxAt that, there are ways to hack it of course (Fairly certain it “ruins” some returns/warranty policies, but if you can in those cases, you can easily revert the modified bits if needed)
tl;dr : if you want to try to hack it safely, heads up to : remarkable.guide
If you want something a little easier to install, and especially, allow fixing a couple of those issues safely, and automatically, you can try antidot .
xdg-ninja do already use the antidot rules natively, it’s mostly for those who don’t want to manually do the safest/easiest of fixes. It should be safe to use alongside xdg-ninja.
