I don’t understand the hate for flatpak. I wouldn’t even be on Linux if it wasn’t for flatpaks. I tried to switch many times over the years and it was such a PITA. With flatpaks I made the switch about a year ago and it finally stuck. Even got my wife to switch.
Existing aliases continue to work on Simplelogin. And I wish I would have known that beforehand.
For me its not realizing that my email aliases will stop working if I stop paying. Wish I would have just went with simplelogin
I do believe I tried that but I’ll try again, thanks.
The only thing that sucks about it is some sites just flat out don’t work well. For example, in Librewolf I cannot login to my banks website. The site loads, but the login just hangs. Firefox it works immediately.
I use ducks AI chat to help me with small tasks and its honestly pretty great. Always worked and has provided me with useful results.
They claim its anonymous, maybe they are lying, maybe they are not. I make sure to rinse anything I put in there first just in case.
How are you installing Signal? I installed it from their website and it was constantly throwing up messages about missing play store.
Signal is the only app on that list whose app is open source. That means it can be audited to see if they are telling the truth.
You cannot say the same for the others and you just have to take them at their word. Should we take Facebook at their word?
My wife and I use it to chat privately and I host synapse inside our LAN so im not federated. Works perfectly for that, but I’ve heard a lot of people have issues with large groups.
Yes I agree. I was just offering a counter to the statement that Vaultwarden isnt as safe as Bitwarden. They both are encrypted but my vaultwarden instance is a lot less likely to experience a breach than Bitwarden. The guys with real skill are going after Bitwarden not me.
Just to play devils advocate. Bitwarden.com is a much more valuable target. My instance is behind a VPN. I think its actually far more likely Bitwarden will have a breach similar to LastPass then I will. But I agree with you mostly.
So I’ve been interested in running one locally but honestly I’m pretty confused what model I should be using. I have a laptop with a 3070 mobile in it. What model should I be going after?
Right exactly it can be as expensive as you want it to be. I have 2 12TB drives going. But you absolutely could just buy a $200 mini PC with a 1TB drive in it. Write a simple shell script that purges content first in first out. Cheap.
Part of me thinks some of these people know what they are doing. But they’ve heard people say Trump isn’t a billionaire that rather than admit they are wrong about him and hes actually a terrible business man, they can just make him into a billionaire and save face.
Probably just data hoarding downloading tons of content that will never get watched.
it really just depends on what hardware you are on. For example my Dell pribter was plug and play on windows . It took me 6 hours to get it to work on Linux.
Sure, but I came from Windows. Is the security situation better over there? Flatpaks just work. I only install verified flatpaks, and I remove most permissions with flatseal before even launching it.
