There are also:

• Nebula
• Floatplane
• media.ccc.de

Thanks, but I’ll pass. Currently, it’s just a random house; but if I blurred it, it would stick out like a sore thumb and possibly attract attention.

Ah, I stand corrected.

• DAITA adds noise to your traffic, in order to prrvent AI packet analysis. However, most people don’t need this, and it limits your server options as well as increasing your bandwidth usage. Leave it off unless you need it.
• Multihop routes your traffic through two Mullvad servers, in order to further obscure your IP address. Turn it on for added privacy, unless you have problems as a result.
• Local network sharing means you can still connect to devices on your home network while using Mullvad VPN. This includes things like networked printers, network attached storage, and the web interface on your router. Turn on unless you’re sure you don’t need it.
• API access just checks to make sure you can connect to Mullvad at all. The API is what gives you the list of servers and provides your computer with the connection info. Have a look if you’re interested, but you shouldn’t need to change anything.
  • If you are on a hostile network, this part of the settings also lets you enable bridges, which can help to circumvent local VPN blocks.

Oh, I thought they meant firmware.

LineageOS or /e/OS would be my picks. Graphene and Calyx are better, but likely don’t support the device in question.

RIP DivestOS.

Because Google are dicks.

Well, this wouldn’t be my main email; it would be just for the site. Thank you so much!

Posteo ftw!

I think this might be what you’re looking for: https://github.com/seemoo-lab/AirGuard

I got my Grandma to switch to DDG after she saw an advert for it on TV.

My Gran, meanwhile, didn’t need convincing. She uses Ecosia, because she likes the whole reforestation thing they’re doing.

Yeah, I have my own SearXNG too, albeit hosted on a VPS. However, the difficulty I was talking about was in convincing other people to switch.

Yeah, that sounds like she clicked an ad. Personally, I’d recommend switching to Startpage, Whoogle, or SearXNG; but I understand that might be easier said than done.

Use redlib.

Ah, I stand corrected.

That’s a good idea. Why didn’t I think of that?

The boot issue is definitely hardware related. The machine doesn’t even power on the display before restarting.

Three reasons for me:

1. DNF can be kinda slow
2. Fedora is owned by Red Hat, which is owned by IBM, which is American and also assisted the Axis powers during WWII.
3. SELinux was created by the NSA. I know it’s FOSS, but I don’t feel I can trust any three-letter agency.

I never really got on with Slackware, but I might give it another shot…
