I remember using mktorrent a few years ago.

A friend of mine used to live right above a McDonalds and used their free Wi-Fi all the time.

Looks like an average Google Gemini reponse

Wikipedia has way more donors, since it’s basically the only one of its kind. There is no Big Tech alternative to Wikipedia, so everyone just uses it by default. There are lots of other messengers though, so Signal isn’t the default choice.

Finally a good approach at raising money (other than donations)

Call me crazy, but I usually like to install Apple’s San Francisco Pro Display font

Edit: For Qt and GTK apps obviously, not for the terminal. I prefer JetBrains Mono there.

Another edit: Apparently there also a monospaced version of SF Pro. Just realized that it’s the default in the macOS Terminal app. There’s even a version with ligatures and Nerd Font symbols: https://github.com/shaunsingh/SFMono-Nerd-Font-Ligaturized

Btw if you’re still looking for an IRC client, check out Goguma. It’s a better, more modern looking alternative to Revolution.

I’m glad you like it. Consider making a post about your experience so far having switched from iOS to GrapheneOS. The community likes these kinds of posts. Don’t hesitate to use screenshots, etc.

You know what’s even funnier? There’s even an official mirror on Azure DevOps. https://dev.azure.com/massgrave/_git/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts

All of this can easily be circumvented by using a VPN or seedbox, as well as an adblocker.

“Proper” mobile Linux has never been a serious thing except maybe during the Nokia N900 era (It was released in 2009.). So I don’t really get what you’re trying to say with that statement.

I’m talking about developments such as postmarketOS, Ubuntu Touch/UBports, Phosh (mobile GNOME), Plasma Mobile, etc.

I see so many people here on Lemmy who are desperately waiting for Linux phones to replace their iPhones or Android phones, without realizing that idea is absolutely utopian and unrealistic.

An image-based system would be the bare minimum to achieve basic security, but there would still be so many security issues compared to Android and iOS, that I don’t think Linux phones are worth putting time and development effort into.

AOSP is a fantastic base for open source mobile systems. The FOSS mobile development community should rather shift its focus to AOSP, develop a good understanding of it and get familiar with the code, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with mobile Linux distros.

I know about the security issues in desktop Linux, but I still think secureblue fits that level of the iceberg pretty well. I would put Qubes there as well.

You could add secureblue. I would put it in the same category as GrapheneOS and Vanadium.

Chromium-based browsers have arguably better security than Firefox. https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html

Vanadium further improves Chromium’s security by disabling the JS JIT Compiler, using a hardened memory allocator (GrapheneOS hardened_malloc) enabling ARMv8.5 MTE, and applying other hardening patches (https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Vanadium/tree/main/patches).

The secureblue project maintains a hardened Chromium build for Linux called Trivalent, which uses most of the patches from Vanadium, among others. You can get it from their repo: https://repo.secureblue.dev/secureblue.repo

your (very expensive) license is tied to a USB stick

Not true. You can link it to your Unraid.net account using Unraid Connect: https://docs.unraid.net/account/link-key/

Sure, it’s not perfect, but still the best option for beginners.

Unraid is great for beginners.
