Exactly, it takes several seconds, and sometimes I close the app on my phone without realising it hasn’t synced yet and then when I go to my desktop it’s not there.

Because of this I find myself opting for the “Note to Self” feature on Signal more and more when I am on my phone. It is super basic, but when I put something there it appears instantly on all my other devices.

Be honest, how many people own a hardware key, let alone use it properly. Meaning it be the only 2FA method on your account.

I use Joplin too for years, syncing however always felt quite slugish. And that besides the fact it does so over the network because I am using my self-hosted Nextcloud server as the syncing method. How has been your experience?

I never understood how Threema could make this work. Messangers rely on the network effect and asking people to pay adds a lot of friction. It’s not enough for you to pay in order to use it, you have to convince your peers to also do the same. So, why would I pay to use a messanger that I have nobody to message?

I thought the shortage was on RAM chips not PCBs.

No, no you don’t understand. When corporations do it, it’s fair use.

Actually, the best time was around 4 months ago. I paid around $100 for my 2x16GB 6000 M/T CL30 DDR5 kit. The same kit right know costs over $500.

Not great timing unfortunately…

It’s also useful for prototyping. Put something together quickly as a proof of concept and then do it the proper way. That is how I mostly use it at least.

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.

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.

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.
