There are multiple apps from various devs that all use the Keepass file format, so they are all compatible.

Generally I don’t think Chinese tech is really any worse than “US” (aka; made in china by a US company) tech.

The software running on phones and stuff is likely worse though, some things should be avoided.

Probably KDE, it’s the most ‘complete’ feeling to me with settings and GUI for most things.

One option is running changedetection.io on your server, it works for basically anything since it’s actually loading a full web page and checking for changes.

Nice since it seems like everything these days requires apis and all kinds of BS to use in an app.

I’d just like to see games optimized better so FSR/DLSS isn’t needed.

You could always try out an AI service that doesn’t collect data like duck.ai: https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/duckai/

Privacy is not all or nothing, and using one thing doesn’t cancel all efforts somewhere else.

Don’t go so far into the privacy hole that it affects your mental health. Just do what’s easy for you.

It’s an interesting thing to think about, wouldn’t widespread desktop Linux malware be quite bad because of the lack of any AV/Malware detection typically used?

Maybe Bazzite because it’s geared towards working well with gaming out of the box.

Very useful to see if your source/dest are performing as expected.

The app launcher UI is hilarious, the name is too long so it adds 3 more periods to it and cuts off even more of the name.

Maybe https://www.gl-inet.com/

As I understand their stuff runs a custom OpenWRT, so you can use them as-is, or if you want vanilla OpenWRT it’s very easy to flash them.

As far as Mesh goes I’m not sure how they would do, for mesh to perform well you need a system that has dedicated mesh radios in the 5/6ghz bands, and only the more expensive mesh systems typically have that.

I’m gay and I still play women characters in most games lol

You can try Buster, but I’ve never been able to get it working: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/buster-captcha-solver/

There are also various captcha solving services out there, however they all reek of shady “we steal your data” type services.

4GB is still like 3GB more vs running Bazzite or SteamOS.

There’s also the storage aspect, windows on its own with what it needs for windows updates can use like 50GB+ of space, and since most of these console come with small SSDs in the 128GB-512GB range that’s a huge downside.

Then there’s the lack of small screen optimization, lack of touch optimization, and all the garbage that runs in the background, uses resources, and constantly bothers people like onedrive and teams and other junk.

Better off waiting until it’s down to normal game prices anyways.

Oh this is like 90% guaranteed to be bad. Handheld gaming on windows just looks miserable with how bloated the OS is.

Mailbox.org is great, their webmail setup is good and has contacts and calendar and all the things you would expect to have. With Cal/CardDAV and ActiveSync support too.

Fire up the browser and watch the DNS logs, you’ll need to still allow update checks most likely.

A lot of companies use Google mail anyways so your emails will be scanned regardless.
