I like Magic Earth on Android. I admit to not having done thorough investigation on all the privacy aspects, but the FOSS solutions cannot (could not?) offer me voiced directions in my own language without installing the Google voice pack software and I only use navigation about three times a year, so I stuck with Magic Earth.

TrueNAS Core as main OS and a few jails for the services I run on the machine.

Started out with Mandrake in 1998 and got into Debian shortly after. I moved to Gentoo in 2002. In the later 2000s I only used my desktop for gaming and stopped dual booting for many years. My home server runs BSD and I was using a 2010 MacBook as my laptop. The only Linux box in my home was my HTPC, running Ubuntu.

When I heard of Proton I started dual booting again. In 2020 I got rid of Windows and the aging MacBook. Since then my desktop, laptop and HTPC run on Arch. The server is still FreeBSD.

Ik ook en voor dienstreizen (dus niet woon-werkverkeer) mag ik zelfs eerste klas!

Nu is mijn werkgever de overheid, ga ik altijd op de fiets naar het werk en heb ik de ov-kaart maar 4 dagen gebruikt sinds ik er werk om met de trein na een cursus te gaan, waarbij ik na 3,5 jaar eindelijk voor het eerst covid heb opgepikt, maar toch. Minder auto's = goed.

As someone not from the USA I am convinced, after reading many news articles over the past decades, that people voting for the GOP are either evil or too dumb to make any kind of impactful decision.

I'm not an expert on the matter so have a Wikipedia link.

I thought Graphene was the culprit. When I switched it was still Android 13 and Mull was unusable. I couldn't interact with it at random until I restarted it, which was quite the problem. Tried Fennec and have had no issues since.

Het is gewoon kats rechts; al die partijen zijn meer rechts dan centrum, als ze dat laatste al zijn. Maar in een land waar VVD door een grote groep al links wordt genoemd heb ik ook geen hoge verwachtingen.

After I got the update, the first thing I did was look for the setting to disable the system tray icon 😅. Alas, there is no such setting, so I hid it using KDE's controls, but it's suboptimal..

For me it boils down to principles. You're totally right and many companies I hate will have alot of my info due to others, but I'll be damned if I cooperate with them.

And in case anyone wonders, it works fine in BSD as well. I have a jail with rTorrent which is locked to the VPN connection and uses a cronjob to keep port forwarding active 🙂.
