I could probably backup most of my important data to a flash drive but I’d rather not

You absolutely need to have working backups in place, otherwise your data is at risk.

I’m always curious about youtube music apps, it seems like there are so many of them everywhere, even f-droid has like 20+ clients listed that all look very similar.

Maybe just a fun app to try making so a lot of people do it?

Firefox and forks have supported webusb for awhile now, so I think 8bitdo just needs to update their website.

Firefox supports webusb too so I think their app is just out of date maybe…

Cryptomator + any cloud storage is the only thing that comes to mind that’s easy to use and cross-platform.

Either that or rclone + crypt, but that’s a bit more of a hassle.

A browser is one example, what’s the alternative to that other than sticking it inside some sandbox or something?

Not supporting a 3+ year old Intel wifi chipset out of the box is kind of wild though, that’s a super standard part.

I always thought that ublock origin in advanced mode was a suitable replacement? Maybe I’m off base with that.

Title is incorrect, it’s not Mullvad donating the money but one of the owners.

Any of them really, there should be very little difference between distros on the latest kernels.

You can try and figure out what’s accessing the array:

fatrace | grep /mnt/mountpoint/

This will show you the process, type of access (read, write, open, etc), and path. If you don’t see anything right away just leave it running for a bit.

TBH USB-C to 3.5mm adapters are better anyways IMO, they’re very small and just stay attached to my headphones, have a better DAC and amplifier inside than most onboard 3.5mm jacks ever did, and it never gets stuffed full of pocket lint which was always an issue on phones that had an onboard jack.

Is there any window in the room (or close by) where you could stick the vent outside when drying stuff?

I don’t see how it could condense the very hot damp air from the drier without an active refrigerant loop drawing a fair amount of power. It would also heat up the laundry room like crazy.

TBH it should be a configurable option on every update tool. On my windows install I have unigetui set to only show updates older than 14 days so winget, pip, etc don’t even show brand new updates.

It’s a ton of hassle if you’re logging into websites on that browser and I don’t think it provides much benefit unless it’s a shared computer and user account.

Firefox with uBlock Origin and Enhanced Tracking Protection enabled in strict mode blocks basically every type of tracker. You can add Cookie Auto Delete on top of that if you really want to make sure only sites you whitelist can save anything persistent like cookies or history.

If you have a need for high levels of privacy it’s the only way to do it, or just leave your phone at home.

It doesn’t really defeat the purpose of having a mobile phone either IMO, most stuff I do on my phone is already offline (maps, notes, taking photos, etc).

Would need to disable the cell radios, wifi and bluetooth too since those are also used to track device location.

In that case another degoogled ROM sounds more like what you’re after?

Graphenes thing is hardware security.

That’s pretty much all blockchain stuff tbh, it’s all centralized to the extreme around 1 or a few major services.
