I like how it has a frown on the link preview and when you open the article it has a smile.

That means RAM prices will come back down to logical levels, right? …right?

I find your project very interesting, I have to point out a bit of irony though. You say,

Phones just do too much these days. And I don’t get the feeling they respect my time nor privacy.

However, making regular voice calls and sending SMS over the cell network is absolutely not private. If you want privacy you need the ability to utilize end to end encryption, and to do that you need a device capable of running something like Signal.

Other than that I agree with your other points. I too miss the days where phones didn’t all look like a slab of glass and every manufacturer wasn’t afraid to experiment with all sorts of cool features.

I do blame them because they actively choose to launch different products nobody asked for (e.g a Bitcoin wallet) instead of focusing on feature parity. I pay the exact same amount of money as a Windows user but I get less. Proton is a privacy focused company so naturaly the number of their customers running Linux is gonna be much greater than the average software company.

Linux has been treated as a second class citizen by Proton with pretty much all their products. Just look at the state of the ProtonVPN client compared to Windows. They are simply allocating less resources to Linux development in general compared to other platforms.

Do you remember that time Netflix removed [insert series title]? I basically have my own private version of Netflix. That way nobody can take my favorite series away from me without warning.

If it’s something like a bank or the government which already know my real identity then I don’t really care. For anything else, then I just don’t use the service.

As the title suggests, we have brought back the CLI interface for Linux users. This has been one of the most requested features, and we’re excited to finally bring it back.

Huh? And what have I been using all this time?

We value your privacy

And this is why we are going to violate it in every way possible!

I built a home server based on an Intel N100 motherboard a while ago. I’ve put proxmox on it and run my Home Assistant installation, Nextcloud, several other stuff and even my router as an OpenWRT VM!

I chose to go the N100 motherboard route mainly due to the flexibility it offers. But you can just buy a N100 based NUC and you get effectively the same performance and incredible low power consumption.

I would recommend against the Pi 5. It is way underpowered in my opinion. Plus with a x86 system you just have a lot more software compatibility.

Only reddit and everyone else who pays, like Google and OpenAI.

You are not blocking just Chrome though. You are also blocking Vanadium on GrapheneOS.

To be fair though it works fine with JavaScript disabled. I only enabled JavaScript to test it.

I use RedReader without an account for years and never had any issues with it. It’s one of the very few third-party apps that gotten a pass during the apiocalypse.

Smart products themselves are not the issue. The issue is making everything cloud based. The solution is companies designing their products so they can be controlled over the network.

It’s a fucking bed! It doesn’t need a persistent connection to some server. The problem is that they also want to mine and sell your data.

There is special category for Internet of Shit devices, that not only are cloud based but also require a persistent connection to a server to even execute basic functions.

One more reason, there is a “copy as cURL” option in the Firefox developer tools network tab. It gives you a perfect cURL command including all the necessary cookies and headers to send the exact HTTP request that your browser just sent.

Alright, fine I will try it. I have to admit the web browser part does sound interesting.

I’d argue LocalSend is a lot simpler. Install the app on both devices, open it, transfer files. Zero configuration needed in the majority of cases.

To be fair, I doubt that someone who even knows how to verify a hash when would be presented with an exe instead of an iso would think that this looks fine.
