Still completely unhinged to ship it in your distro before it's fully compatible cough Ubuntu cough

Glad to see they are establishing useful streams of revenue

I, however, will continue using Molly in combination with Syncthing

Bc this seems to be a crosspost, imma cross-comment:

I get wanting to phase out Mercurial in favour of git. But why did they have to choose Github T_T

Ideally they would have just hosted a their own Forgejo instance (heck, a Gitlab one would have been better too FFS). Even just using Codeberg and donating would have been better

The for-profit side of Mozilla seems to have succeeded in purging most of the principles Mozilla used to have (IK they have been eroding over the years and sometimes been too "pragmatic", this is just the cherry on top of a long series of shitpiles)

If Mozilla actually stood for a free/libre future they'd push Forgejo to the lvl they need it to be (if it already isn't capable of all that stuff. Haven't rly interacted much with it). Since they will still keep the CI/CD on Mercurial for now, there is even less valid reasons for using Github...

On Fedora, Btrfs has been the default for years now iirc. It's modern and rock solid too (as long as you avoid Raid 5/6) and has some features I can't live without nowadays:

  • Copy-on-write (prevents file duplication)
  • Snapshots (your systems broke? most easy rollback you will ever experience is with Btrfs in combination with Timeshift)
  • on-the-fly compression (I'd recommend "--compression-force=zstd:3" as a mount option. Last I checked Fedora defaulted to using the lowest compression level, which is not the Btrfs default, making you lose some gains. FYI about the "force": btrfs by default checks whether a file is compressible or not, this is redundant with zstd, which does the same thing but quite a bit faster AFAIK)

This might be a good opportunity to try one of universal blue's distros

They are kinda "just set and forget" atomic distros, improving on Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite with usability improvements

average Phoronix forum user unfortunately 💀

but Phoronix' journalism is good

(which is why I only read the articles through my RSS readers and never go on the site or associated forums)

seems like a good middle ground tbh. No cryptocurrency will ever reach the adoption of fiat. This could make online transactions that would otherwise be made over your creditcard, bank or insert fintech like Paypal quite a bit better

And I'd rather have this than a "digital Euro" or "digital Yuan"

It is ironic, but that's the best you can get in terms of security on Android, which is why GrapheneOS supports nothing else

Lineage OS is a shitshow when it comes to privacy and security

(no locked bootloader, using Google DNS by default)

From what I understand, GrapheneOS has the goals of being the best of the best when it comes to Android security.

There is and always will be CalyxOS or DivestOS for a wider range of devices (both are still much better than the likes of LineageOS and Pixelexperience)

Just use Librewolf on desktop, Mull on your phone and be done with it

also I'd recommend Adnauseam instead of ublock. It's based on ublock but clicks on ads inseatd of blocking them.
Basically a form of protest against surveillance capitalism and obfuscation against it's methods.
