  • Yeah… After a user here on Lemmy pointed out that the AdGuard app on mobile made a lot of strange requests to ads servives, I gave it a try myself with PCAPdroid and seeing all thoses requests made by only opening the app made me think twice about AdGuard…

    Removed all their services from my network and a happy piHole + quad9 user since !





  • It’s not 1 way sync. Please look up what you’re talking about before speaking.

    Yeah it’s not, however you can configure syncthing as a 1way sync solution and I was emphasizing that this still isn’t a cloud solution.

    Don’t get me wrong, syncthing is great and I use it everyday, but syncthing is not a cloud solution.

    Syncthing is not a cloud solution though… Rather a sync solution. What’s the difference? If you delete the file on 1 device it gets deleted on every device who shares the directory…

    While a Cloud solution, your file is on a central server and you can download/delete that file on your device without affecting the server.

    Cloud service ≠ Sync service but have a similar purpose.

    Edit: And doin’ 1 way sync is still not a cloud service !


  • Not addicted but I love to show those low numbers from my degoogled android or Linux system compared to Windows and Apple 😁 !

    It’s hard to explain what DNS is, but numbers everyone can understand them !

    “You see all those number go up? In 1 day your device makes more blocked requests than my devies did in 1 month !”







  • They got hit by a lot of negative reviews and bad publicity those last years. Myself gave it a try last years and while it isn’t a bad distro from first impression… The fact that they add bookmarks into my firefox and Manjaro bootscreen at start gave me a strange feeling… Specially because this happend after the bios bootscreen hack. And I know this is not related but it still gave me strange gut feeling and always follow your guts !

    Happy EndeavourOS user !


  • i ended up choosing GitHub primarily for the automated binary builds and releases through GitHub Actions. the Pro tier for students gives me generous build minutes, and the Trippy maintainers helped me get the release process set up properly

    I’m not into programming so I wasn’t aware of this kind of argument and have no idea of all those Pipeline, release, automated binary process… etc ! I’m probably biased by my open source & self-hosted crusade but as long as you are aware of this stuff that’s allready a good point :))) (why wouldn’t you, you’re on lemmy :D) !



  • Congrats and thank you for sharing your project with the community ❤️!

    Just a personal opinion, I think all new projects should be hosted on alternatives git hosting sites (something like codeberg :p). Specially project which have alot of already very well implemented and popular alternatives.

    Yes, this will reduce visibility and probably reduce interaction. But if you’re on Lemmy you’re probably already aware of this… But it will also provide the switch to a more privacy respecting and competition to more agressive invading monopoly companies.

    Another positive thing I can think of is that if there is a big GitHub exodus and popular alternative who need to switch their database/user base to an alternative hoster will lose a bit of momentum and users may come across your project :).

    Good luck and keep it up 🙏💪
