the only two apps i use but have not yet seen mentioned:

1. florisboard (keyboard)
2. simple time tracker (time tracking tool, duh)

dishonorable mention:

1. revanced manager (youtube, but useable?)

serious question: how does opera (the company) make money?

we don’t need another mail app. they should’ve just supported FairEmail. it’s great and works flawlessly. developed by one guy who does not get enough in return. if you can, support him by buying the premium version and yourself by switching to the best android mail client. https://email.faircode.eu/

tbf it seems to be a common issue with search engines atm. brave also has the stupid ai response topmost, and startpage without adblock pushes in so many sponsored results that you need to scroll to get to anything else

this whole thing is a shitshow. but the dresscode is just bullshit. why shouldn’t male read people be allowed to wear hairstyles longer than to the neck?

if it is of any help, i have been using a OP6 running /e/os for over a year now, as a daily driver. central europe, have not ran into any issues banking wise, other than one 2fa app complaining every time it is launched (but still functioning fine) edit: sadly the battery life is now starting to decay quickly, and i also had an accident that left both front and back glass shattered, so i may soon upgrade.

that’s genius. i have never even considered that you could use a (sub)domain with a local ip like that to get a certificate from a trusted ca. i ma not sure i understand the neccessity for api access to your dns service. is the txt record for LE different every time you have to pass a challenge? otherwise i imagine you could just set and forget the record.

thank you for the explanation, well appreciated!

could you expand a bit on your edit? so bitwarden extensions need a valid ssl certificate for the domain where the server is hosted? how do you get that for (i assume) a local domain? thank you for your time!

thank you! so it is basically looking at identifiable patterns in the packet flow and matching them to protocols. i also found this paper about traffic identification interesting.

i still think this kind of shotgun approach is not ideal, and the extension seems more like a service to me than a way to help the ia. so “help contribute” is not the wording i would chose. but i very well might be missing the point. i do love the internet archive and their fight for information freedom, don’t get me wrong. this was more of a nitpick.

does this actually help the internet archive in any way? as in are your local ressources used or ad revenue generated? i fail to see how telling them to archive everything you visit is of any help to them. other than you being basically a crawler, i guess

they sunsetted the sms functionality in their app “to focus on the signal protocol and make it less confusing for people” if i remember correctly. not a big deal to me, the few sms i send i can use a different app for

can you maybe link some ressources on how the protocol used can be detected? i did not know about this and would like to read into it some more :)

awesome. thank you so much for taking the time to respond!

that is really cool! i have so many questions! is it visible from the outside? can you still have an mri scan? does the metal detector at airports detect it? can you feel it under your skin?

So I guess a password for the law, and a hardware key for the lawless haha.

hahaha that’s crazy. A bit further than I am willing to go right now. Where do you have yours if you don’t mind me asking?

Thank you for the explanation. I wanted to not just buy the most popular thing from the near monopoly brand, but I really only read good things about the yubikey 5 series. At the moment I think I am veering towards buying that.

Thank you for the recommendations. Any first hand experience with these brands? I am looking mainly for reliability and durability. Otherwise they look quite good, maybe even a bit overkill for me with all the extra features.

i trust proton quite a lot, but the open source part seems to be only partially true. on their github, i can only find client side code (ie. browser extensions, mobile apps), not the server code, which bitwarden does publish
