Arch on my desktop and laptop. Debian, Gentoo, OpenBSD on servers

Easiest solution is to just fork it rather than replacing it entirely

Buy a dumb phone and make them feel ostracized from everyone else lol. Spoken like someone who isn’t gen Z.

Let’s say you do use a dumb phone. What about everyone else? Others have to make a lot of concessions in order to communicate with you in a group project for example.Best case scenario the group does its communication over social media and calls you directly. You’re going to miss out a lot on communication.

There’s also some aspect of “followers = clout”. Basically what I’m trying to say is expecting your child to be OK taking a dumb phone to school while seeing everyone else with one may have a dramatic effect.

Yawn. People have been saying “Screw MozIlla, I’m switching browsers now!”

Nothing new. Just disable the feature like you do with telemetry lol.

Windows isn’t based on DOS, though. It hasn’t been for a very long time. Linux isn’t sandboxed. Userspace applications can be sandboxed. There’s a difference.

“Swiper no swiping!”

Lmao

Why so many downvotes lol

it’s really sad that we’ve come to asking questions like this.

I suggest getting RSS feeds from your subscriptions from Invidious. This way you won’t directly connect to Google’s servers.

Why is it useless for YouTube?

Use their SOCKS5 proxy. Haven,'t encountered any issues on Freetube since then.

There’s also Migadu which I currently use. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that providers like Proton and Tuta have with their E2EE but they don’t use any shady marketing or track you. Requires a custom domain though.

I recommend switching to a custom domain in the future so you can avoid situations like this from happening again, this way you won’t be locked down onto a single provider.

They have a large following on Mastodon so this doesn’t really make much sense. I’m inclined to believe that they left due to the hate they were getting because of the recent controversy.

Migadu

+1 for Migadu. Their basic plan (more than enough for most people) is extremely cheap. No vendor lock in. And their support team is by far, the best I’ve encountered.

If you’re using a custom domain, don’t use Mailbox.org, see below:

Codeberg for public repositories, cgit (if that even counts) on my own server for private ones

I personally use Claws Mail.

Absolutely essential is using a firewall and set it as strict as possible. Use MAC like SELinux or Apparmor. This is extremely overkill for a personal server, but you may also compile everything yourself and enable as many hardening flags as possible and compile your own kernel with as many mitigations and hardening flags enabled (also stripped out of features you don’t need)
