I was so surprised by how easy it was to install Yacy–I’d thought a self-hosted search engine would be tough, but I made a docker-compose file and pointed my reverse proxy to the server, works perfectly so far!
All-in-all a weekend well spent
My prescription eyeglasses have a blue light filter built in, and I still use night shift at night–whether it makes any difference to sleep is up for debate, but overall it’s just more comfortable to use I think!
Very true–the specific EOS repo has given me a bit of trouble in the past, but it takes like 3 commands to remove it and then you’ve got just arch (although some purests may disagree 🤣)
I disagree–a system (even Arch!) should be able to update after a couple months and not break! I recently booted an EndeavourOS image after 6 months and was able to update it properly, although I needed to completely rebuild the keyring first
Good writeup, but I don’t see the Fediverse as a single entity–if a single instance gets to 51%, and even 25% of the other instances fork and continue federating among themselves, then those 25% would function just as well, and likely maintain users with shared interests (i.e. how Lemmy is still interesting despite being much smaller than Reddit)
I am assuming it’s a shared VPN address
Is it a test instance with fake users or something?
A test instance yes! I think the users are real people posting test stuff t
Thanks for the monthly reminder to open DavX5 🤣
I generally like being as close to mainline/AOSP as possible, and I used LineageOS for years on my Essential PH-1. That being said, it does look like the Pixel suffers from no lack of custom ROMs, so I may “distro hop” for a bit in the future
Perhaps not, but your mobile carrier will! I use a Pixel 5 with LineageOS installed (and no google services), but I also needed to install Google Docs for a project (since the web interface refuses to load on Android) which means that Google is still able to access my IP address–but I think that’s better than Google’s “location history”, or Play Protect on Android sending a list of all installed apps
if Microsoft is a browser or a search engine.
yes
