Install Windows into VMware player, then install this into it.

Why? We have native VM capabilities in the kernel and VirtualManager is very simple to understand and use.

Only that FairEmail looks like an ancient elephant… I tried to use it, but found it pretty complex.

I get at least an update every two weeks or so… and it worked for at least the last four years, since I installed it from f-droid.

If you have cover art in the album’s folder, navidrome won’t check anything else. You can configure where it will check for artist art and cover art: https://www.navidrome.org/docs/usage/artwork/

Fuck Gemini. Why would you want that piece of shit on your phone?

so I had to learn how to copy in the background, then write a script to check and display the progress every few seconds

I hope you learned about terminal multiplexers in the meantime… They make your life much easier in cases like this.

I want to have ads blocked with pihole and at the same time to have local DNS served by the router. I know pihole does local DNS, but RouterOS (mikrotik) is much better suited for that.

Even the server part for Bitwarden is open source and you can self-host it. Yes, Vaultwarden is a community alternative which is known to be lighter, but you have the choice from Bitwarden too.

The moment they cut the cord on SmartTube (Android TV), I’ll block youtube on my local DNS. Fuck them!

I don’t need video and gif recording. And most definitely not uploading. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I’ll have a look at it.

And Windows! It’s been added to my company on all machines out of the blue and set as default for taking screenshots (win10/11).

Whether that affects privacy, I don’t know.

It doesn’t. Heliboard doesn’t use network connections at all.

Atuin, as others have said. It supports many shells and you can have server/client machines to sync your history.

They are not open sourcing anything. They just want people to contribute. The license is not open in any good way fit the users.

I’ll just leave this here.

Also, as a former communist country citizen, when I hear “five year plan” I get bad memories.

Nothing lost for us. Keep using the OSs made to follow you around and share your data with “Trusted third parties”.

Don’t be so sure! For a few percents off the price some greedy executives would give anything to Microsoft (and/or others).

I guess they’ll have something at firmware level identifying the registration location.

no, but on android you have firefox… and you have f-droid with tons of OSS applications - and a lot of them are really good, so you can ignore everything made by google.
