Some parts of the container API is not available on Android unfortunately. No container extension will work until that is fixed.

lemmy.ml was the only general purpose instance when I opened my account. There were only two instances back then - lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml

GNOME Secrets on PC and KeepassDX on Android.

DDG seems to have picked it up, not Google though

On AMD systems, 5.17.3 and 5.18rc2 have a nasty bug that freezes the system after suspension and it can’t resume without a hard reboot. Issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1976

I downloaded RSSGuard and it appears that I can’t import my rss feed into it and they are online based?

Both.

Add a standard account first:

Then in the “Accounts” drop-down you’ll have the option:

IIRC, RSSGuard has a dark theme https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard (I used to use it on Arch Linux long ago before switching to ttrss in browser; apparently they also have Windows builds).

Edit. Ah, it also supports custom skins https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard/blob/master/resources/docs/Documentation.md#skin

You can add a custom search engine to FF desktop if you don’t want an add-on or extension.

about:config -> create browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh (boolean), set to true. Then go to settings there should be an “Add” button:

(There won’t be a favicon though.)

Good that you brought this up. Perhaps it was patched or worked around in Tor browser ?

Yea Tor browser worked around it, see https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/40432#note_2735850

There is Trickle https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trickle and Wondershaper https://github.com/magnific0/wondershaper#using-wondershaper

curl/wget both have a --limit-rate option

There is tc and iptables that can both do latecy and bandwidth quotas.

NLnet is doing god’s work by funding so many cool projects based on decentralization and privacy like Kaidan, Fractal, Lemmy, previously the Tor Project and many more current ones https://nlnet.nl/project/current.html

There goes our chance of finding life on Mars :P

See here. This is the issue tracking the UI for proxy too. The flag comes from Chromium; you can’t use a http+password proxy though since Chromium doesn’t support that too.

If anyone is running AMD Stoney they might want to be a bit careful with 5.11 kernels; from 5.11-rc1 to 5.11.8 it gets stuck on loading initial ramdisk. The issue is solved in >=5.11.9.

This is a new low; not surprised though.

You have to trust the instance admin you are joining; the same goes for Lemmy/Mastodon/XMPP. The instance owner can see your IP address, your devices, email etc. They can act on your behalf - so basically they have a fair amount of control over your account. But they cannot see any encrypted content. These issues are a bit hard to solve in case of something like Matrix often at performance costs; same goes for the metadata issue.

If you want to self host you can run a de-federated instance for only personal use or you can run it as a onion hidden service - this way the metadata issue is solved. But note that Synapse is pretty resource intensive.

Matrix clients does support connecting to Tor. For example Quaternion,Mirage has this;Element doesn’t have a UI for it (it is on the roadmap) but you can use it on a browser or on desktop use the cli flag --proxy-server and on Android use Orbot in VPN mode. It also depends on the homeserver whether they allow connecting through Tor or have a policy against that. Multiple accounts too are on the roadmap for Element: on browser you have to use containers or separate profiles; on desktop use the --profile flag.

Definitely to the post comments, imo. Sometimes links contain enough ads/trackers/analytics that I don’t even open them and the discussion around it helps to get a good overview and also prevents link rot.
